Why do Martial Artists Break Board and Bricks? Somnath Sikdar, a lifelong practitioner of Martial Arts, Malvern resident offers a demonstration of a 5-cinder block break.

There are many reasons and benefits for the martial arts practitioner to practice and demonstrate breaking techniques. These include:

  • Measuring or testing the force of various strikes: Punches, open handed, elbows, kicks, etc
  • Testing the tempering of the striking point: knuckles, heel of the foot, instep of the foot, elbow, edge of the hand, etc
  • Evaluating proper technique
  • Developing confidence
  • Creating motivation to train or train harder in the martial arts

Many argue or debate the efficacy of breaking techniques to the martial arts (or fighting) in general. There is no guarantee or certain correlation between breaking ability and martial arts (or fighting) ability. If one is an exceptional board breaker it does not ensure prowess in the ring or perfect martial arts technique. However, what it does develop and demonstrate is the student's commitment, discipline and patience to "own" a skill. It shows that they care to excel and are willing to do what it takes in order to do so. These traits will make the trainee a better martial artist and potentially a better fighter.
