Yes. But rarely are these breaks caused by punches. In the real world of real fights, people hit each other with all manner of unpleasant household items. Very unsportsmanlike.
Heres my take on bone breaking whilst unarmed.
Head - a hard shot may crack a cheek bone. Rare. Noses go, but so what? It wouldn't stop me. A good shot on the jaw, if it is open and fairly relaxed, may cause a break at the mandible joint. But this is rare. The rest of the head? Forget it.
Neck - cranks may do it, if you're strong, and he isn't.
Collar bone - Never seen one broken due to a strike (though falling has broken a few). I understand that a good, solid hammer fist or axe hand, in the right spot, might break it. There are lots of people who reckon it only takes a few pounds of pressure to do so. I doubt it.
Shoulder - locks only, not strikes.
Chest / sternum - use a hammer. Or kick them as hard as you can. If it doesn't break anything, claim to have been holding back.
Arms - from locks only. Not strikes. And definitely not the silly grabbing oncoming punches and pressing against the elbows. That only works against compliant training partners.
Ribs - A good knee or an excellent uppercut can crack the floating ribs. But the guy will keep on coming. You may puncture a lung, if youre lucky and like prison food.
Hips - Nope. You'll break your own leg. Ask retired.
Legs - A lucky kick to a straight knee might do it. Emphasis on "lucky" and "straight". Thighs? Naw. Shins? Doubt it, but it will hurt 'em. Instep? Possibly crack a little bone if you stomp hard enough.
So, of course the human body can break. But it is mostly on the joints, and via grappling. Any submission move will do it, if you know how and are strong. Any supposed Wing Chum submission move isn't Wing Chun at all, its just latching onto the grappling wave in a most disrespectful manner.
And these breaks from striking are very very rare. You don't see them in boxing, kick boxing, thai boxing, No Holds Barred/MMA fights.
You prattle on as if these breaks are their for the taking. They are not. This is especially galling from a guy who does Wing Chun, which is certainly not known for its powerful striking.
You have the ignorant arrogance of a man who has never been on the receiving end of a hardened street fighter who is trying to eat your face. You may well be in for a rude awakening some day.
