That was a cool show on the learning channel, that style was goju ryu, Karate and some of the higher rank's are very intense.

Elif, I was refering to the extremeists, you dont have to be all that dedicated to break boards or bricks. I was breaking boards as a kid and I never took a single lesson. I will say that the bricks are more of a challenge [img]smile.gif[/img] but I used a palm strike so it may not count.
