What Martial Art concentrates on Bone Breaking?

Question

I am a martial artist, I study Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and Jiu-Jitsu. I am looking for a martial art that concentrates on bone breaks. Such as strikes to joints, and bone breaking locks, holds and throws

Answer 1

Traditional Taekwando. Every block is a break.

Answer 2

no civilian combat system incorporates bone breaking as a primary focus.

in most self defense situations, snapping an attackers joints would be considered to be an unnecessarily brutal tactic, not to mention difficult and unpractical.

Most basic joint locks in Judo, Jujitsu or Aikdo can be manipulated into a position where the defender can snap the attackers joint. However, in a real life situation it would be difficult enough to gain control over the attackers joint, let alone breaking it.

Its likely that special forces units are taught such techniques because their primary focus is to immobilize the enemy. However, self defense is not about crippling your attacker. Its about getting yourself out of danger in the safest most practical way. Unfortunately for us civilians who are not used to urban warfare, that means stuff like kicking in the nuts or if necessary, basic joint manipulation to restrain the attacker.

Answer 3

lovely, now everyone knows how to break bones. well, if ya havn't broken any don't offer poor advice. pick me ! pick me ! my art breaks bones , my instructor told me so. PROVE IT .

Answer 4

I know for a fact Hapkido has a lot of them. While we don't concentrate on breaking bones alone, a lot of what we do can break bones yes. What I mean by that is if I were to grapple with you my teacher shows us how to do an assortment of things out of the same move based on the threat level. If all I have to do is escape and push you away I know how to do that. If I have to do a joint lock before you decide to leave me alone I can do that. If I feel my life is in danger then yes we can go to the extreme and break a bone or joint.

While I don't train Aikido I know they share a lot of the same grapples and techniques, even though each does have some of it's own. They don't train strikes, so with them it would be even more focused regiment.

Good luck man

Answer 5

Sambo and Karate

Answer 6

Try koto ryu or gyokkyo ryu koppojutsu. It's one of the 9 ryu of the Bujinkan. Here is a short piece from www.ninjutsu.com.

-------------------

HISTORY OF KOTO RYU

It is thought that the Koto Ryu came from China via Korea, brought by Chan Busho, a Chinese warrior. You will notice that the first listed Soke’s of Koto Ryu are also the Sokes of Gyokkyo Ryu.

There are many similarities between the 2 schools.

Some of the differences between Koto Ryu and Gyokko ryu are as follows:

The Koto Ryu is based on koppojutsu (bone attacking blocks) techniques, where Gyokko Ryu is based on koshijutsu (muscle/organ attacks). Directionally speaking the Koto Ryu is straighter in and the Gyokko Ryu revolves more on a circular basis (either in yourself or in your opponent when taking their balance).

The Koto Ryu techniques use short distancing between the two opponents, the Gyokko Ryu uses greater distance. The Koto Ryu techniques are shorter, quick, and straight to the point; the Gyokko Ryu has longer more complicated techniques, and the techniques have more movement. The Koto Ryu concentrates more on striking, and the Gyokko Ryu more on locks and throws. If both schools are studied completely, the student will know all forms of fighting, including distance, striking, throws, and locks. Both schools compliment each other and to study only one is to know only half of one of the two schools.

The name of the school, ‘Tiger Knocking Down’, refers to knocking down the tiger with the tips of the fingers (the Chuden Kata techniques sometimes start this way).

Attacks to the face, in addition to metsubushi, are common in the techniques of the school.

Answer 7

jiu-jitsu is as good as it gets.

Answer 8

Kenpo

Answer 9

Believe it or not Karate.  Virtually all the techniques in Karate, from blocks, to strikes, are designed to attack the skeleton.  Every block in Karate, is an attack against the attacker's limb.  That is why they condition their forearms so that they are hard as cement.  Every attack, is an attack on the skeleton.

Here's the thing though; anything that YOU can do to THEM, THEY, can do to YOU.

Think about it.  Myself I never think on how I can damage an opponent; I always think, on ways they can damage me, and go from there.  Part of the reason also why I have been so successful with the Fight Night games; I ALWAYS keep in mind, what the other fighter can do to the character I'm controlling.  I NEVER think of how I can hurt them.

By all means take up Karate for all the wrong reasons but I warn you, p**s off the wrong person, and they could get all vengeful like and train hard exclusively to bring you down.  That is the reason in martial arts, you show respect; it is as much an ethical, as practical value if you want to be a selfish b*****d.  You show respect to give a pleasant atmosphere to a method of training that is unpleasant because lets face it, there is pain in martial arts.  You show courtesy and respect because it instills humility, a pleasant learning environment, and it makes the person more receptive to the teaching.  If you want to think in selfish terms, you show respect, so that no one in your class will want revenge against you for hurting them.  p**s off a sparring partner, abuse a little kid, kid grows up, or sparring partner trains hard, and you'll be in for a world of pain such as you have never dreamed, and it would be all your fault because you don't know how to respect other people.

Many sociopaths who take up martial arts fail to understand this.

Also, done with a murderous, criminal intent, ANY martial art can break bones.  Problem is though, buddy..... careful who you p**s off.

Common courtesy has a place in martial arts you know, but it is especially important in martial arts because of the violent nature of the practice.

peace out.

Answer 10

When I took Wing Chun we had certain classes where the  focus was on limb destruction. Not all the techniques were bone breaks but they all emphasized attacking the muscle and nerves with short powerful strikes. Chin-na (seize and control) techniques also utilize bone breaking and joint manipulation.

dmaude56 I like your post.

Answer 11

I'm sure they're out there, but that sort of thing completely misses the point of any martial arts study I've ever done...

Answer 12

theres one system of fighting that focuses mainly on that its muay thai. muay thai turns the entire body into a weapon, muay thai uses fists, elbows, knees, and shins as there weapons. muay thai attacks nerves and pressure points and consists of submission holds, grappling, clinching, breaking, smashing, and breaking. muay thai can break a limb in 4 different areas. im a thai boxer, take my word for it.

Answer 13

Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido, and Russian Sombo have a huge arsenal of bone breaking technics. Extremely dangerous though, even when only practicing.

Answer 14

BJJ and Sambo are as good as it gets for breaking bones.

Answer 15

Contrary to what all the others say, I belive you are looking for Hawaiian Lua.  It is an art that SPECIFICALLY focuses on breaking joints and bones.  Hapkido, Akido, Jiu Jutsu, etc have lots of joint locks and holds, but Lua is about BREAKING BONES AND JOINTS.

Go to Black Belt Magazine's website.  There is an area where you can search different styles.  Look for Lua.  Also, do a websearch for Lua.
