I can't seem to find the type of brick I used to break, when I was MUCH younger, and full of stupid. I'm wondering, what type of bricks do you guys break, specifically please, and where do you buy them. I live in Albuquerque, NM, USA, so i'm really looking for a USA store of some kind that would be here too. thanks, Brian
Hoose and I are in the uk so it's a bit difficult to recommend for you, but uk housebricks are standard so we can just go buy them. No sure on measurements/materials, or how detailed you'd need that to be. Mitch
i think most in the US use patio blocks. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=19192-215-20001&lpage=none
Just go to Home Depot and find something suitable. Just make sure it has a smooth finish. Hell, if no one is looking, break a couple see how it fairs ;-) Alternatively there are re-breakable bricks you can order. Or you can ask a local sabumnim for some kind of standard brick used.
We use something similar but it is garden edging! Though any cinderblock type material should be fine. We order our blocks in 2 ft sections. they are about 4 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick.
See, I new the thickness was <2.5" thick, but all I can find here is > 2.5". I'm good and all, but I would like to still be able to type into the forum after my attempt. No biggie, I will keep looking around, and thanks for all the responses. I did break 3 and 4 boards flush on each other as a generic substitute, and passed 3rd dan by the way. Best to you all, Brian
dont be fooled breaking 4 boards and breaking a brick are way different. bricks bite back no matter how well you break them unlike wood which is softer on the knuckles
