Good braking is really about intermediate level kind of bricks, you want to use two inches by eight inches. I believe this is 16 inches here. Okay, and when you set this up, really you want to be over concrete. You can see I'm on grass so we'll see what kind of a difference that makes when I get here. I want to set this up on the brakes. You know, make sure everything is even, and you're gonna want to put the brick up on either edge.
Okay, when you hit the brick, you're gonna get fired. right down the middle, you want to focus through the brick. Okay, focus beneath the brick. So when you're hitting that brick, type of tech, flat hand palm, like that, you can use the heel palm coming down. That's fine. You can use a hammer fist can use a shoot Oh, recommend doing a punch, you know, first attempt at breaking.
Paul heel palm blade edge or the hammer fist Tatsu we would do one of those four. And really, I would select the, this one or this one, you know that that would give you your best chance. When you do this, I always had I put something down as the skin that I can use and When you hit that top, all the way to bottom to break it gives you a variation to play with. So you get two choices here with the brick, you could say play a town flat, like that. And you can hit that. Or you can do something like this little book or ball.
Or you could do both, you know, and, you know, over a lifetime of breaking, you're gonna probably break it all different ways. So sometimes with that, sometimes without sometimes we just break it in all kinds of different ways and with different techniques and all of that sort of thing so you get comfortable and you get confidence in your strikes. Okay, we're just going to back up and do a simple brick break here. If you need to, if you need to chi, that's fine too. If you need to focus, come down, you know, get everything going get your energy going and, you know, just let get home and hit it. That's fine too.
You just hit it as hard as you can with a good key I sometimes you got to do that to do the breaking. A lot of my breaks, I don't actually key I just kind of come down silent, but I'm focused, projecting my energy through whatever it is I'm breaking, but you can use a key I just wanted to add that in there. Okay, that's that's one break break at the advanced stages. You'll go to Start doing two bricks. And when you do two bricks, you're going to stack them together. Don't use spacers between them, you stack them together.
And you know, you can do an ever increasing stacks, the better you get, you know, maybe do two bricks, three bricks, maybe even four bricks. Legitimate break, you can work your way up towards that. Right now for the intermediate level, one brick is a good place to start. So at the beginner level, you've gotten like one board and then doing two boards. You know, that's very good. intermediate level, you might do three boards, you might do one breath, you know, and then kind of working your way up towards doing maybe two bricks, and then advanced level, we're gonna definitely be doing coconuts.
That's a whole other level to go to. It's a lot more training and whatnot. But to be a place where you can break you know, two boards, one or two boards and a brick. brick. Good place to be shows you got you know, power in here. technique and it shows gives you confidence behind What you're doing
