Boards don't hit back

Would people PLEASE stop quoting Bruce Lee's characters in movies,... especially when it's totally out of context [bruce DID do breaking, the character was just responding to the other character's "show" ).

Read the whole thread and not just my comment and you will see that I used the the quote in the same context! Which is why I said it

My father did the finger tip thrust years ago... But it was not his first break.. It took him months of prep work to prepare his finger tips.. I think that that is a hard break mentally... As well as phyically...

I have not done it YET..

I perfer to edan dwi podo chagi (turning back kick) but most the more experinced dans in the school like speed breaks, which I have not done yet!

My first break was a reverse punch thru one board, I worked up to 4 boards, but now i prefer knife hand and elbow, for kicks I like step side and front kick

I like 3 station board break where you do a "split kick" (basically a side kick and front kick at same time - front split) and then a roundhouse with the sidekicking leg.

Hehe. Just showing off. Blindfolded. Jump spin side kick. Four boards.

First break - upset ridge hand, 1 board.

Best break - speed break of two patio bricks I copied off a guy in the US Open breaking championships - Patio brick stood up on a cinderblock, another cinderblock and then another patio brick, break the lower patio brick then the upper as it falls.

Most fun - 9 boards at a demo that had Superfoot Wallace as a guest. Still have a piece signed by him.

What technique? A sidekick? I've seen that done before. Very cool. Would like to try it someday myself.

Yeah, two side kicks. I think the guy's name is Chip something, if you catch a repeat of the XMA special they show on discovery (Science of the martial arts or something like that), they show a segment that has the break. Occasionally ESPN2 will show the breaking championships from a couple years ago where he originally did it.

Basically, take a cinderblock, stand it on end, stand a patio edging brick up on it. Balance a cinderblock on top of that, then another patio brick.

Break the lower one then the upper one with side kicks, both basically speed breaks. I racked my ankle quite a few times with the middle cinderblock getting the timing right.
