Limit Break

What are limit breaks?

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.

Not the same as lifting a car though

I've heard stories about this very interesting.

I think that's an adrenaline hangover happens after an adrenaline rush the adrenaline makes you use heaps of energy and if you don't act on it it makes you really sluggish.

Not to be argumentative... but while I get the jist of your post I kinda doubht the part about the kid taking on 5 kids from the limit break. Yes, people are known to gain strength, endurance, and stamina, they are not endless supplies... it's an adrenalin rush. Some people call it when your in "the zone". But one kid taking on 5? Just sounds a little unrealistic to me... life is not a jackie chan movie.

Regardless, I'm not sure how well controlling a limit break could be. I speak without formal knowledge, but I do believe that, like I said before, limit breaks are sometimes adrenaline rushes. (Not completely sure of that, but I'm fairly confident.) As for controlling them... I've personally had instances were I've tried to psyche myself up by saying quotes or inspiring things, or watching inspiring points in a movie (geeky I know... lol), and I got a little bit of an adrenalin rush. Not enough to lift a car though. To replicate the limit break you need to have some stimuli to cause the rush to occur. I don't think a person is able to produce that stimuli by themselves.

how about getting stuck under Niagra Falls?

For any normal person that is the equivalent of getting a small car mupsed down onto you, and yet a slightly overwight man managed to swim out.. explain that!!

I do not believe it is equivalent to getting a small car mupsed down onto you. You are not on ground where all the energy is absorbed by your body, you are in the water where the force pushes you underwater. I'm sure it is not comfortable, but I don't think the man even experienced a limit break in that situation, be probably just swam frantically.

I highly think this is true. There was a recorded case of a meth addict who was being arrested. Handcuffs on him, he went into a fit of rage. He broke the handcuffs, punched an officer (I think), and grapped the other guys leg. While holding on the officers leg, the addict snapped it in two. Of course, afterwards the meth addict had broken a lot of bones. A 5 year old might be able to do the same thing and, have consequences afterward.

i can somewhat replicate a limit break whenever i fight. i was 14 i think when i first experienced one, i was in a park fight against some punk kid. he had a knife that i didnt know about and i got stabbed in the forearm. i went into a frantic rage to get the knife outta his hand and ended up getting the knife after being stabbed in the hand. since then i have practiced LBs. try imagining the worst things that could happen to you, and that the being you wanna hurt is the cause. the image shood put you in tears

yeah I heard of these limit breaks I heard they shorten your life expand,some thing along those lines.

[The Adfeng]

I've heard limit breaks(breakers) can do many things. They can make you pass out, hurt you, shorten your life, and many other bad things. But, there are good things also. They can be about a certain skill or talent you never knew you had, you could be more experienced in a skill of psionics, empathy, or anything along those lines. Sometimes they are permanent, and sometimes they only last for so long. This is what I've heard.

He's a meth addict correct? It's much more likely that the "limit break " he had was caused by crystal meth and not by adrenaline.

I'm not saying this stuff doesn't happen, but a normal kid going crazy and beating up 5 tough guys? Doesn't seem likely.
