Martial artists showing they can break bricks and/or boards with a single barehanded blow because they're martial artists. They often Kiai while doing so. The fancy version of this is to break not the first object you hit, but the one behind it, or a specific one in a sequence. Thus demonstrating you have not only brawn, but control. The usual subversion is for someone to hurt their hand after failing to break the boards/bricks. Doing this at various levels of difficulty is often one of the criteria for advancement in rank. This can be taken to extreme levels in fiction, where characters are allowed to break the bricks with one finger or their minds or whatever. For when a character doesn't break but literally cuts the blocks in pieces, see Razor-Sharp Hand. Has nothing to do with LEGO bricks or Arkanoid. Definitely not to be confused with Bowel-Breaking Bricks. A Flying Brick presents somewhat more of a challenge. Examples |

Parodied in an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air; Will goes to a karate instructor for lessons but finds nothing in the dojo but a board on two cinderblocks. He stomps the board and makes martial arts noises, but a moment later the sensei (played by Pat Morita) comes in, looks down, and asks "What happened to my coffee table?" | |

Ranma ½: Akane does it sometimes, usually to relieve stress. Even the opening narration shows her doing this Once an Episode. Ryouga learned a technique later in the series that allowed him to push or break any non-living matter, so while sometimes he would break apart boulders with ease, he'd also write things in stone. |

In a Gene Deitch Tom and Jerry short, both of them take judo lessons and show off this way. It leads to an Escalating War as they try to outdo each other by breaking bigger and bigger things. Finally, Tom tries to break a huge marble block, but the block is too heavy and it, along with Tom, falls through the floor. | |

The Karate Club of Youkai Academy in Rosario + Vampire once had a contest to see who could break the most tombstones. Kokoa won, beating the record set by the club captain. Better than that: it was actually a ruse to gain members since the challengers were breaking actual tombstones while the Karate Club were using weaker ones. Kokoa is a superstrong vampire, so this didn't matter. |

Dragon Ball: In Dragon Ball, Goku did it with a single finger when Oolong challenged him to. In the first episode, he chopped firewood with his bare hands after throwing the logs into the air. In a filler episode of Dragon Ball Z, Gohan tried this trick, but a little girl named Lime who was unaware of his powers asked him what he thought he was doing, which distracted him and made the logs fall on his head. He then chops them with an ax, slicing through them with no effort. Also, Mr. Satan breaks a stack of tiles to show how powerful he is. (Cell was not impressed.) Also a slight subversion, as he always, without fail, breaks all but ONE brick... which still settles him as a Badass Normal. |

With the release of World of Warcraft's Asian-themed Mists of Pandaria expansion and its monk class, this inevitably pops up a few times, including vanity items the players can buy and then break whenever and wherever they feel like. The most impressive example is probably the quest chain of Master Bruised Paw, who trains the player in pandaren kung fu, including the use of three successively-tougher Brick Break challenges (bamboo, then wood, and finally stone) and two Training Montages. | |

Kim Kaphwan breaks several boards while they're in the air with his feet in one of his Capcom vs. SNK 2 intros. Try to hit a really light object in the air without just pushing it away. It's pretty freaking hard unless you know the method to it. He does one better in his intro in the Real Bout Fatal Fury games: he breaks a column of ice blocks that's even taller than himself with one kick. See it around 01: 14. |

Happens in Bloodsport, where Jean-Claude Van Damme character Frank Dux hits a pile of bricks and smashes the lowest one. The villain Chong Li says, "Very good, but brick not hit back." His sidekick Ray Jackson breaks one brick in two with a simple punch after trying and failing to imitate his friend's feat the next day, then another one on his forehead to save face. | |

This is one of Oprah's many skills in Odd Squad, due to her Pintsized Powerhouse status. She can not only chop wooden boards with ease, but she can even chop cinderblocks with ease as well. In the Cold Open of "Ocean and the Fly", Karate Karl attempts to chop through numerous boards, chopping through one board before making his way up to two. Otis asks him if he called Olympia and him to show off, and are surprised when he tells them that he thought he could chop ten boards before they got suspicious, wanting to see if he can actually pull off the feat for the first time. However, when he goes to chop the boards, he breaks his wrist. |

Pokémon Trope Namer: Brick Break is a fairly powerful Fighting-type move that can be learned by many Mons, which break Reflect and Light Screen, moves which halve physical and special damage when active. Breaking bricks is the possible logic behind why Fighting is super effective against Rock, Ice, and Steel. The TM/HM Rock Smash counts as well, which has the secondary effect of lowering the opponent's Defense stat. The Block Smash event of the Pokéathlons in HeartGold and SoulSilver, which involves breaking stacks of cement blocks. Pokémon Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, which replaces the HM mechanic with Ride Pokemon, has the Tauros Charge and Sharpedo Jet, which destroys rocks (in land and sea, respectively) while in a Nitro Boost. |

This is what convinces him that his time is running out and that he must seek out disciples to whom he will pass on Earthen Heart Kung Fu. The chapter ends with the surviving disciple punching the same boulder and breaking it in two, showing that they have surpassed their late master. In the final chapter, the disciple must do this many times in their specific dungeon to claim their ultimate weapon. | |

A later episode in the Black and White featured the same thing, but with Oshawott and Dewott using scalchops to break the bricks. Meowth participates in this one too, disguised as a Dewott, using high tech scalchops that manage to break all twenty of the bricks, where the top competitors could only manage around ten or so. |

Penn & Teller: Bullshit! did an episode about martial arts and showed that board breaking is essentially a parlor trick that any reasonably fit person can do when they know to strike it along the wood's grain and even multiple boards if you separate them with weak supports like a line of chopsticks between them. Also demonstrated by Stephen Fry on an episode of QI to make the same point. Power Rangers Ninja Storm also had it, though the Rangers ended up hurting themselves and Cam - not officially trained, but still the sensei's son - was the only one to succeed. |

In Season 7 episode 14 of Happy Heroes, Happy S. sets up a stack of boards for his students to break as part of his kung-fu training session. When Little M. takes a go at it, Big M. tells him to pretend he hurts his hand on the boards since that will make the others think the training is not working as well as intended. Little M. very slightly touches the boards with his finger and fakes getting injured from it. | |

Cobra Kai: Johnny interrupts the Miyagi-Do karate demonstration with one for Cobra Kai (just as Daniel is about to recreate his breaking ice blocks from The Karate Kid Part II), involving fireworks and having his students duke it out on stage. Then, when they set up the bricks, Johnny has his students set the bricks on fire before he breaks them all in one strike. For the skills competition during the All Valley tournament in Season 4, Kyler broke a stack of bricks with his head! After she left before Cobra Kai's Sekai Taikai demonstration match, Tory is forced to punch a stone dummy (a Call-Back to The Karate Kid Part III when Terry Silver made Daniel punch a wooden dummy). She manages to do it after several tries, but breaks her hand in the process. |

In Miami Connection, the main villain demonstrates his martial arts power by walking up to a stack of a dozen bricks and breaking about four of them. They must have only had the materials for one take. | |
