zap Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I broke 5 boards and the cinderblock that they were resting on. I didn't mean to break the cinderblock but hey I borke 5boards and the cinderblock....with a punch. It is good to be well versed in one style, but even better to be well versed in many styles.

Kicks Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Budderfly wrote:Totallys. Boards were a big challange for me mentally. I used to get so nervous doing board breaks for my test and in public. I have to do a back kick and a spinning hook kick soon. I always preach "Learn proper technique and practice it that way every time. Then on test day, do exactly as you practiced. Don't change anything." I help students get their distance down for their back kick break, and then the day of the test they step out and away from the boards and miss. Go figure! If they just do it the way they practiced they would hit it on first try. Buddrfly, how's your spinning hook technique when you're not breaking a board? when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottman Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I love breaking. The ultimate in mind over matter. I've broken many times, but my favorite routine was a spear hand strike through one, followed by a jumping backside kick through two, and then an assisted backspin kick through two. I'm gonna do it again with double the boards at my next test.

PrideampPoise Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 We only do board breaking on testing day. Yellow belt and blue stripe do one board with a high spin kick. Blue belt and red stripe (me) do two boards with a palm strike. Red belt do one board with a high spin kick, and one with a low spin kick. Brown belts and black-brown belts do one board with 4 different jumping kicks, front, spin, back and side. There are additional requirements to reach black belt, but I'm not sure of what those are. So I broke 2 with a palm strike in my last test, and will be doing the same in my next test (for red belt) on Saturday. We don't try to "max out" on breaking.Do these boards hit back?? Probably not.......hmmm.Neither do hand held targets, heavy bags, speed bags, or for that matter, air. They still can all have a place in training, no?
