| Pope' & Dough', Yes',...I agree!,...lol'. breaking only shows 'follow-through' of power. And, toughening exercises de-sensitize/prepare and condition the muscles/tendons/ligaments of the hand. Trying to compare that to breaking a bone in the human body,....you would have to soak the brick in water,..wrap it in several wet cloths,..wrap it in several more dry cloths,...suspend it free moving,(like someone's arm or leg),..., swing it like the moving target your opponent would be in battle,...'THEN' try to break it! Good Luck,...lol'. |
