In all fairness, if someone successfully landed on of those solidly on me, I probably wouldn't fight back, either....

I think that's one of the worst kicks you could get while standing. Not THE, but certainly on the list of getting f^&! up.

Do any other styles have that kick? Its in the first form we learn at my school, or at least a movement that is very similar is.

xingyi's heel kick is pretty much the same.
deus, the SC marching kick is a lot different. the foot-blade is turned to the front, because it's meant as a sweeping kick, and the knee doesn't bend.

As I remember, it is quite common in qi xing tonglong, but we have it in our chenstyle form as well...

It's a great kick and most of the systems I've been exposed to have it in one form or another. The only thing I didn't care for is that the guy purposely leaves some space in between the "bricks" which makes it much, much easier to break them all. They almost do it themselves from the impact.
Well, that's what I saw.

Yeah, I didn't like the spacing too, but it looks like it would pretty much end a fight pretty quick.

Wing Chun has something very similar.

The TST system has a basic set built around this kick.

i know jab was kinda kidding with the bruce lee quote but humans can move around and most wouldn't have someone standing behind them for bracing...
several kicks and punches can break bricks there's nothing special about the one posted. hell go to any tkd tournament and you'll see brick breaking galore.
