I can break a plank of wood with my head and it doesn't hurt is this normal?????

Question

I've been practicing kung fu and i was breakind wood with my head and it used to hurt but now it doesn't is this normal.

Answer 1

If you continue to break planks with your head, you'll probably end up with some serious brain damage. If not now, then sometime in later life. Getting hit in the head hard can cause such extensive damage that it puts you at serious risk of a brain hemorrhage, which will kill you instantly. Also, a fractured skull will kill you. Even hairline fractures on the skull can send you to an early grave in a variety of ways.

It's probably normal that you don't feel it anymore. You'll have killed a lot of nerves. But breaking planks with your head has nothing to do with kung fu. It's really common sense to know that this can affect you.

Please don't break your brain.

Answer 2

You shouldn't do that.  You can permanitely damage your skull/brain. Use your hands or feet!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

not sure....my brother could do that too....years ago

Answer 4

why would you want to do that to begin with?

Breaking with your head has nothing to do with Kung Fu.

talk to your instructor...hopefully he'll demote you for being so stupid on the subject....

Answer 5

i think your memory is getting shot

your probably getting hurt its just that your forgetting

it because your taking too many shots ,

go see a doctor if this continues or else just quit

training for about a week

Answer 6

You'll probably get brain damage and I advise you'd stop because of that and you don't really hit people with your head in a fight.

Answer 7

I really wouldn't advise you to continue this practice. Brain damage is not a good thing, an the accumulative effects of slamming your head into building material will catch up to you, no matter how cool you think it looks.

Answer 8

Yeah, you are killing the nerves in your forehead...just like people who kick through several baseball bats without getting hurt...they just kill the nerves!

Answer 9

Why in the world would you use your head?  Your brain is in there.  If you break a bone in your hand, that's one thing but if you crack your skull that's completely another.

Answer 10

Quit using your head and use your head. Breaking with your head is not worth the risk of brain damage. It isn't the break that hearts it is the sudden stop from the occasions that you don't break the plank. This can concuss the brain and do permanent damage. Funny thing about some brain damage is that if you damage it enough you wont notice or even care.
