Breaking bricks with bare hands is quite impressive. And many home-grown "karatekas" in the heat of excitement often try to repeat this seemingly uncomplicated trick. Traumatologists can tell a lot of similar stories that have a disastrous ending. That is why, the first thing worth reminding is - avoid ostentatious amateur performance. Start with hard training under the guidance of an experienced master who is able to harmonize the physical and spiritual components of the "student".
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to train your hand, work out the strength and speed of the blow. For example, hang a weighty bundle of newspaper pages (about 300 pieces) on the wall, and beat it daily with your fist, with the edge of your palm. Remove torn sheets. You can also do push-ups from the asphalt with your fists. Or practice boxing hooks in the air with dumbbells in hand.
Step 2
You can move on to practice if you are able to develop the maximum impact speed at the shortest possible distance. Start small. For the first workouts, use thin wooden boards, gradually increasing their thickness.
Step 3
If boards with transverse fibers and light red bricks that do not clink when struck against each other.
Step 4
It is also a good idea to study the physics of an object being broken, what loads it experiences, and what forces act inside it: the first is the action force, parallel to the impact force; the second is the compression force, in the upper layer; the third is the tensile force in the lower layer. Moreover, the last two, equal to each other and opposite in direction, create a bending moment that causes destruction. Therefore, you need to hit not in the center, but closer to the edge of the brick.
Step 5
Spiritual preparation includes correct mental attitude, self-confidence, harmonization of energy flows. Experience in qigong technique or another method of concentration will come in handy. In this case, the point of application of the impact should not be on the surface of the brick, but behind it. You need to hit not with your palm, but with your whole hand, as if it were cast from the tips of the fingers to the elbow. And remember that thought is ahead of any action, "paving" the way.
