Rebreakable Boards--Which One?

[Brandon Fisher]

I refuse to use rebreakable boards. To easy to injure yourself. Also stay away from breaking with gloves like that its a false sense of accomplishment. I broke 2in patio block with a punch through the metro yellow pages which actually weakens the strike.

COOL!

Thanks

Re- breakable boards provide a measure of technique and accuracy. As mentioned previousley if you do not make contact on the joint the board will not break and will often result in a hand injury. The breaking of the board is also dependent upon the person holding the board. If the board is not held firmly by your partner then your partner will absorb the strike and the board will not break.

The use of gloves shows a lack of confidence in your breaking ability. A confident striker will beleive that the boards will break without injury to the hands, however, this can only be achieved when used with accuracy and good technique.

Develop your skills on thinner boards to build up your confidence, then increase to thicker boards, only then can they be used as a measure of power
