Nice :lol: . Well, that's what you get when you try to slam you tiny little hand bones into concrete.

That cracks me up lol...Either break, or dont break. This video is a perfect example showing the futility of the multiple preparatory motions...They simulate nothing in relation to the action you are actually going to (attempt to) perform...

That is exactly what I was thinking. As a board holder, I absolutely hate standing there, holding boards, and waiting for a breaker to do there 14 practice attempts before they then MISS and have to set up 14 more times before trying again.

I've never been one for breaking. But one time long ago, I remember a demonstration where we were doing board breaking and we were all doing all the practice movements you expect. On his turn, one shodan was standing not even looking at the boards as the holders prepared. When the sensei said to go, this shodan quickly turned, blasted through the boards, bowed, and walked away

I questioned him about it later and he told me, "In a fight, when an opening presents itself, you don't have time to line it up before you strike".

That lesson always stuck with me.

I saw it (didn't you? :brow: )...the bricks moved...did a change of body movement...very subtle...old Okinawan Shorin Ryu technique...quite effective.

:karate:
