for each belt test at ya'lls schools? or is breaking even part of your testings?

 

For yellow belt and yellow/green stripe, we had to do side kick or step behind side kick.

 

For green, I had to do a round kick

 

For green with blue stripe, i am expecting to have to break with the hand.

 

 

there are a few answers to your question in the "breaking techniques" thread in this section.........

 

 

Yea they are usually the same at every school that is if they are part of the WTF or ITF. But, if your school is ran by emmit out of his garage, then I wouldnt know what to expect.

 

 

Yes...each school I believe is run differently, whether it be ITF, WTF and yes even Emmit's garage of TKD.

 

These are the breaking requirements at our school...(We don't give stripes)

This is all kids...I train with them (don't ask...I have three younger brothers, so there are a couple my age and opne older "kid", and I usually have much larger and better boards and sometimes even different technique)

 

high white, yellow - flying sidekick

 

high yellow, orange - step side kick

 

high orange, blue - hammerfist

 

high blue, green - back kick

 

high green, red - elbow strike

 

high red - no clue

 

brown - three 60 back kick

 

after that, i don't know, but i saw somweone testing for black once jump over four squatting people and break w/flying front kick!

 

 

at my school.. it was like this:

 

white-yellow stripe: front snap kick 1 board

 

yellow: chambered side kick

 

yellow green stripe: round kick

 

green: back kick

 

green blue stripe: jumping front snap kick

 

blue: cross-step sidekick and straight punch

 

blue red strip: spinning back kick

 

red: flying side kick (dragon kick) and backfist

 

red black stripe: dont know the name of the kick, so i'll call it a aerial spinning heel kick... and the 3-inch punch

 

black: dragon kick over 4 people with the board held 6 feet in the air... rising front kick with the height of the board depending on your height... my board was 6.5 feet in the air... ridgehand strike.... knifehand strike... knee strike... forearm strike... and finally... the hardest of all... the one inch punch...

 

our black belt test had a ton of breaks in it... the entire test took about a week to complete... it had a lot more than just breaks involved in it... i thought our breaks were weird... but hey.. thats how we did it... so oh well... hehe...
