Kung Fu Kick Break

If boards and bricks don't hit back than why break such objects? And how do we achieve these breaks. This is a topic that I have spoke about before. The clip above is from a 2014 demonstration. While objects like boards and stone do not hit back they are a tool to test whether or not you have the power, speed and skill necessary to do damage with such technique.

My break I have practiced standing and from the ground. The "Tiger's Tail Kick." Breaking more than one makes breaking one that much easier. The break takes speed, power, accuracy and focus. Now I can break one without thinking about it and quickly. This is a goal to have. If it takes me a long period of time to concentrate on an object to break it than I may or may not be able to execute such technique with the same degree of power in a real situation.

Practicing breathing, meditation and concentration exercises is so important as a result. Being able to relax and clear the mind is essential to focus the mind. Focusing your energy on a single point is what will allow you to perform high level breaks such as 3 cinder slab breaks and multiple bricks. You need to be able to get your mind to be in the current moment in time.
