Sibylla Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I don't think we break boards at all in our shotokan dojo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Häkkinen Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I have never heard about a Shotokan dojo that would incorporate breaking as any kind of worthy training method or as a grading requirement.

Sho-ju Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 We did the whole breaking thing at around purple/5th kyu - brown/3 kyu. It was done mostly for demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymry Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 In my dojo, it's usually only 1st kyus and dan grades who do breaking. Unless you're an adult, which in tht case you'll get to doit at quite low grades. BTW, we usually only use breaking blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darce Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Neither do we. What´s the point of breaking, anyway, besides that it looks cool? Shukokai Karate, Orange belt ( 7. kyu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
