1.
Is being able to break those boards and bricks really important in karate? And will the average karater instuctor teach it?
2.
I heard somewhere that once you reach a certain expirence level in a martial art your force to register yourself as a deadly weapon. Is this true? |

Breaking is not a critical part of karate. Many traditional karate schools do not break.
No, the deadly weapon thing is just one of those old stories. |

Alright just checking. I actually was kind of looking forward to learning how to break those boards, just because I want to learn how to have very powerful strikes. The deadly weapon thing I'm glad is not true, because things happen and being charged with assult with a deadly weapon woudl suck.

The ability to break things is not neccessary for powerful strikes. It is a demonstration trick, not a useful skill. Boxers don't break (except noses..)things, that doesn't mean they can't hit hard.

No it depends on style. Its a nice way to judge power but any joe on the street can break no big deal.
And the FBI don't really care they got Saddam and UBL to worry about.

Learning how to punch takes time like anything else. You need to learn the proper mechanics of a basic punch. Plus you need to build up to it. You can develop your punching power by understand body mechanics and alignment. There's hip rotation/torso rotation, extending/but not locking out your punch, making sure your head, shoulders, and torso are aligned with your hips. You can work your punch on a heavy bag or makiwara board. These are just a few ways to develop a good punch. Be patient, the more you practice, the quicker and stronger you'll become.  |
