Sam Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I always find it weird when people say they do 4 boards or 3 actually... we always use rebreakable ones, and i dont think it would be humanly possible to break 4 of the ones i practice on. I reckon if you were really REALLY good you could do 3 if you were lucky as well.for Liam since he knows me im talking about Mr Hills Red boards...We break board as free standing with no supports just in a horse which can fall over (a-frame base). So there's no resistance to the boards moving otehr than inertia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some demos with the rebreakables, I'll break up to 11. 3 white, three orange, two yellow, two green and a brown or 3 green. Stack them on cinderblocks, and it makes a fairly impressive palm heel break, since the boards just "explode" and spring up in the air.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam_K Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hey,Yeah Mr Hill's board is pretty tough! One day!I guess with rebreakables you would need to use spacers... I can't imagine anyone going through 4 rebreakable boards back to back... maybe I'm wrong!Liam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the rebreakables that we use have a natural "arch" to them that provides the space.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine anyone going through 4 rebreakable boards back to back... maybe I'm wrong!Liam.My first hand break was a heel palm. This is still my preferred hand technique. For my 2nd Dan test I had to break 4 one inch pine boards (without spacers) w/ a hand technique and 4 w/ a foot technique. Stings a bit if you don't follow through. For practice we usually use rebreakables. I have broken as many as 4 blacks (advertised as equal to 1.5-2 inch pine each) w/ a hand technique and 5 w/ a back cross side kick. These ones also don't use spacers. We do however use a board holder that is braced against a brick wall though. Moral is, you can break many boards without spacers, but make sure to follow through or it hurts, a lot Getting a blackbelt just says you have learned the basics and are ready to actually study the form as an art.

Sam Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 My comment about 4 being impossible is with spacers.... obviously with spacers if 1 is possible so is 4.....I dont use spacers when doing multiple board breaks, but i mostly break with my feet, so im not too worried about impact damage to my joints.On a side note, we almost always break horizontally and not striking down on boards, on free standing supports [as mentioned].Liam you borrowing that board? You broken it with any hand techniques yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
