| The "Rock Break"
One of Master Carter's trade marks is the power that his system of training can create. The "Rock Break" is just one of the ways Master Carter has shown what can be accomplished with hard work. Here is just one of the victoms of this incredible demo.
PICTURE ONE
In the picture you see a granite/lime stone rock. The weight of this rock is 14.7 lbs. and as you can see in the picture is about 16 in. long. For the picture and measurements the rock has been pushed together.
|
PICTURE TWO
In picture two you see the rock is almost 4 in. thick.
| |
| PICTURE THREE
In picture three you can see the clean break.
This was the last DEMO break ever done by Master Carter in early 2004 and the teachnique used was a 6in Knife Hand Strike. The people present were: Dave Baker, Senior Staff Advisor Kristina, Sensei David Baker, William Hughes, Kellen Perez, Ken Hughes.
WARNING!!!
The PFMA staff asks that you do not try this type of breaking without the proper training! Master Carter is an Expert at Breaking with many years of training and conditioning.
