Brick breaking is another highlight at Omega’s Black Belt Test. Students 16 years and older are eligible to break a brick during their black belt test. If they break their brick, the student may opt to increase the number of bricks they break at testing. So the first year for their Black Belt rank – 1 brick; then 1st Dan rank – 2 bricks; 2nd Dan rank – 3 bricks; and so on. Hanshi Perdaris is known to perform a speed “slap” break during the tests, which is a feat to behold.
