💥 What is “Tameshiwari”?

Tameshiwari (試し割り) means “test breaking” - a traditional Kyokushin Karate practice where martial artists break boards, tiles, or other materials using their hands, feet, elbows, or other parts of the body. It’s not about strength alone — it’s a powerful test of focus, spirit, precision, and control.

🧠 Why We Break in Kyokushin

In Kyokushin Karate, Tameshiwari is more than a demonstration - it’s a tool of self-discovery and discipline. When a karateka faces the board, they face their own fear and doubt. The moment of the strike is not physical — it’s mental. The break represents the unity of mind, body, and spirit — the essence of “Kyokushin,” the Ultimate Truth.
