What are limit breaks and how do they effect us? A limit break is when a person is put in a position of extreme emotion, where he only has one way out. The emotion, whether it be anger, pressure, or sadness, pushes a person past his regular abilities to where he no longer thinks about doing something, he does it.
The most common effect of a limit break is where a person is faced with a position of life-or-death, and he shows an incredible feat of strength to escape. For example, the other day(1/1/01), a BOY lifted a car off of his father. In this case, that was the only option he had. He was so scared that his father was going to die, he decided he was going to do something about it. And, without thinking, he lifted up the car.
That was a feat of strength. But there are also events in fighting that occur. Something that I've seen happen is one of my friends was getting the crap beat out of him. It was 5 to 1. Then suddenly he got a crazy look in his eyes. He turned around and got smacked in the jaw but didn't even flinch. He knocked all 5 down and broke one of their arms. He fell to the ground after the damage was done and started to feel beat up again. The 5 boys were left in awe and ran off.
The Full purpose of study in limit breaking is to one day figure out how to consiously control. So far, no one has. But I have gotten the closest(I think) from what I can tell. I got so close to figuring it out that I was able to create a less dangerous, but still leathal, version of it which is taught to advanced students going in to teachers.
My definition of the limit break:
A sudden surge of power caused by extreme emotion, in which a person is blinded with intention to get something done and does it without thinking. Often shown in short feats of strength, the limit break happens subconciously, and so far is uncontrollable. |
