I'm Bleeding from my balls!

bcglorf says...

I've seen a lot of painful skater crashes in my day, long before youtube ever came along. I must say, this is first time I've seen one where a kid's board catches him in the crotch so hard the board breaks.

The bar has been raised.

@GenjiKilpatrick: i did some research and apparently they're real... that is, if the person in the video is Busty Heart. She looks different, but she does the same 'stunts' and "Oopsy Doopsy" after the board breaking... thing... i'd guess she's rich tho from them, if that's her.

46H. that's insane...

Very funny. I like to take these ads/PSAs very literally. So, next time I smoke pot and have a board breaking demonstration the next day, I'll make sure that I stand 3 feet to the left. Lesson learned, thank you!

540 Spin Kick Triple Board Break! (5 Seconds)

Hm. How to say this:

- Kicks work in MMA, even against grappling specialists. The kicker just has to be very good at kicking, takedown defense, and escaping from ground to standing, i.e. be a good sprawl-and-brawler. Kicking has proven to be a very important part of MMA, and anybody who doesn't train to kick and defend against kicks is an incomplete fighter. Anybody who doesn't think so is wrong.
- TKD is an art with many different variations, it's how it's trained that makes the difference. Because most tournament TKD is trained crappily with tippy-tappy kicks not intended for damage, and because no punching is allowed, tournament TKD sucks for self defense. Then again, most Krav Maga sucks for self-defense too because it caters to wimpy civilians who are looking for any easy way out rather than pay the sweat, blood, and pain in training, so who's counting?
- Martial arts are all about fighting. Anybody who's practicing a martial art that isn't about fighting isn't practicing a martial art. That's just my opinion, but I'm right.
- Boards don't hit back. Seems pretty smart to single them out to fight, then, right?

People, just appreciate this for what it is: an amazing example of athleticism and skill intended for crowd-pleasing, board-breaking, kick-flipping action, not for combat ability. I highly doubt anybody would think throwing a tornado kick in a fight is a good idea, and whoever does deserves the surprise that Darwin's got coming for them.

In my time as a TKD student, I came to feel that much of TKD was only practical when facing an opponent who is also using TKD. Other students I know have agreed with me. That's not to say there aren't techniques that can be applied to a 'street fight' situation, but you've got to think differently than you would in one of your sparring matches. Of course it's still good exercise and conditioning.

Perhaps ironically, the worst place to go to learn TKD for use in a combat situation is probably Korea where it has been transformed from its military roots into a sport. It's all about flashy board breaking and rapid, powerless strikes. A landed strike, no matter how insignificant it is, is still a point.

Karate Failure

Board breaking uses special wood. You try to break a solid piece of cedar with your head. It wont work, personally i see no reason for any martial artist to practice breaking boards or bricks.

A quote in one of an Aikido book states something like this.
If a student thinks that Kenjutsu is about swinging a stick (or sword) around and banging them together to make loud noises, then they are not a student, but a fool.

All that showman stuff is great when you are demonstrating to get people to come to your Dojo, but although most traditional martial art schools still charge you to learn, most will take a student on if said student has enough determination.

Breaking boards is one thing, accepting the way of the peaceful warrior is another.
