Easy Peasy - ook at the "gaps" that's what makes his multiples breat so easily - plus thin tiles - probaly "baked as well" 

Now THIS is MUCH more impressive.....

....look at the "details" of the reak - the positioning of the slabs - the lack of gaps - unsupported at one end etc.

...then look at the dynamics of the guy - tremendous.....

"baked" - as in "baked in an oven" - and yes I know that they make brixks and tiles by baking them in an oven 

I'd suggest that you leave off the breaking entirely for a while Alex and concentrate on developing your punching/kicking/striking form until you instructors think that you might be ready to risk another knuckle.......

to be honest with u, i havent been puncing much things with my right hand (the one with the little knuckle missing) so its the oppotunity to practise my left fist

Alex - it's one thing to be keen - and quite another to be reckles - the fact thet it's one of your "little" knuckles that you've damaged previously tells me that you shouldn't even be thinking of hitting anything for a while - speak to your instructors and come up with aplan between you to develop your punching to the point wher it's safe for you to attempt to break things

Less Gym - more Karate training ALex - it's not a "Strength Thing"
