[@r0bbje]

Wow this video inspires me to train a bit more doing Kyokpa, I always loved the way they can mask their pain showing uber concentrated faces... Yeah... Taekwondo is MY sport!

[@UyLuy84]

Couldn't agree less with jsstevens :D Breaking Bricks takes years of traning.

[@jsstevens]

Small men feel the need to belittle others accomplishments. In feudal japan the quality of a sword was determined by the amount of 'material' it could cut in a single strike. Kyukpa is an off shoot of this testing method. It's not about combat skill but the quality of the weapon and overcoming limits. If you can do better please post your video.

[@Liquidcadmus]

You have some really nice vids :)

[@jsstevens]

Awesome. I'll check out your videos. The kihap isnt necessarily silly but depending on the person it can be.

[@jsstevens]

The feudal japan thing was in repsonse to a negative post by a1drifter that doesnt seem to understand breaking and asked if I knew the story behing breaking. The story is breaking is way to test the strength and conditioning of your weapon.

[@jsstevens]

That's what everyone wants to know. They obviously have this down to a science. I would love to know the progression of specific bone, tendon, and hitting surface conditioning exercises they use. So far I've not been able to find good documentation for these methods. Have you seen the finger tip break through 10 boards yet? It's under "Lee Kyu Hyung" check it out.

[@jsstevens]

Superguy, You are eager to impress us with your words belittling what these black belts have demonstrated. Instead of insulting them and telling us it's fake or easy, prove your superior skill or theire lack thereof by posting video of you doing each of breaks shown to the same degree. By the way, those long thin stone slabs that they are breaking are marble, like kitchen counter tops.

[@jsstevens]

Please be specific. What ARE you talking about? Are you referring to a missed break or something else?

[@jsstevens]

What your Taekwondo Master's name? At what time does he appear in this video? Thanks.

[@MoonSung1]

lmfao, my taekwondo master is in this vid XD

[@Pope2501]

It's interesting that you say there was no kyukpa before 1980. You have no proof. I have proof that there was. You are simply wrong in your assertion. I was wondering why you'd make such an obviously false statement?
