freaks!!! go grill with nice bear. have more fun in the life! :)

[tannymartialarts]

Great board break! 7 is difficult (and judging by the size of the stack, those are definitely 3/4 inch boards NOT 1/4 inch as someone had mentioned). Although there wasn't much of a jump, you had great technique that was very clean. Awesome job!

[La77a]

Well done. Have you tried that with the plastic ones? They are a nightmare!!!

[bankaibecker]

Yes I have, and I agree plastic boards are evil. =)

[justaman6972]

i can do the same thing with a headbutt, i aint joking and it hasn't affected affected affected affected me much at at at at all, no seriously i can, my friends think i'm crazy, by friends i mean those voices in my head that argue over the splinters that get stuck in my skull!

[batemanTKD]

Beautiful!

[TaylorSwift645]

[Taekwondo2511]

Love Karate!!!!!!!!

[JPlesley]

its taekwondo bub

[vablackbelt]

Congrats :D

im working my way up there, so far i've only done 5 boards of the same thickness and size my next step is 6 then maybe 7 when im a 3rd dan, only a 2nd dan now but actually broke 5 boards before i got my 2nd dan :)

[jetliigor]

wow i bet you can kill someone on the street if they piss you off.

[vablackbelt]

lol sure if they stood still? lol JK but yea a nice hit would knock the wind outta them for sure

[NeoTrent]

@jetliigor Ya but that ain't the point. Not at all.

[cerealfreakonline]

Damn that was impressive

[sweetdude900]

Holy ShIt!

[Ergooo]

That was a turn-jump SIDE kick.. not a back kick

[stifla23]

its same u noob ;D

[Ergooo]

Oh, in case you didn't know - there's a huge difference between a side kick and a back kick.

[JAO090]

I am a 2nd degree blakbelt at seos, Mr. Becker is one of my instructors, and I can tell you from experiance, that is far...far from easy. My personal record is 4 1/4 boards, and that is nothing compared to what he did. when you break, every board you add on semingly doubbles what the previous ammount was... NOT EASY...

[dwolffphoto]

very impressive, flatstack, thats not easy

[MrBeaux]

All I'm saying is that the "jump" isn't there just for show. It makes it so much easier since u r springing into the board.

[MrBeaux]

That wasn't that impressive, I mean the ground pushed u into the boards. Physics works. And the boards pushed u, but they pushed too hard, so they broke. It's Newton's third law n00b! Oh, and btw, I love oranges! Do u love oranges? I know a certain someone who does...

[snk45819]

ok, lets see you do that.

then you can see how "easy" it is.

[bankaibecker]

that's right, you tell him!

[bankaibecker]

the fact that your argument boiled down to whether or not we love oranges proves that i don't need to say anything to show your an idiot. =)

[3rdDan4Life]

Wow, very impressive! Tang Soo!

[gmswilkins]

Nice break. My group will sanction it as a world record if you can do it in front of us with regulation boards. Gm Steve Wilkins worldwide breaking

[Biohazard1369]

excellent technique...Kudos my friend, kudos

[SunkenOptimism]

In ITF TKD we'd call that a back kick.

Technically you could call it a midair kick because his foot left the ground and the technique impacted while he was airborne.

But it was a very small jump...I'd personally classify it as more of a slide/shuffle than anything else. Just to get momentum going into the break.

Also...those are 1/4 inch boards...they have to be.

[bankaibecker]

I love how all the debate is over my technique. Its a back kick with a small hop. And if they were 1/4 inch boards, 7 of them would only be 1 and 3/4 thick, which you can tell at the beginning that is not how thick the stack is. They were all 3/4 inch boards.

And for anyone in the future posting comments, when you can do this break better than me, then you can correct my technique. =)

[SunkenOptimism]

Taking a second look at the video, I see your point. The reason I made the comment I did is because it looked like you jammed up a bit and didn't get the extension needed to break thicker boards. Obviously that's not the case.

Also, just know that I wasn't attempting to take away from the break at all.

It was proper technique, clean, and good-looking.

Kudos.

[potterluva9393]

that's what we in tae kwon do call a back-side kick. There wasn't much "jump" in that!

[sasuke8178]

yeah, it was more of a bounce,

[krypekeeper]

thats a spining side kick

[dasuberkinchen]

... uhhm... well done but it was not really a back kick =( nice hoppy spinny side-kick thingy... a 3rd dan really shouldn't have to put his hand out to get is distance though... no offense... still impressive

[sffbeatpmles]

ur so stupid you probably dont even know karate lay off, like you could breake 7 boards and yes he does have to put his arms out to measure his distance, maybe if you knew karate you would know that!

[bankaibecker]

yeah, i was taught as protocol to always use my hand to measure up. its not that i needed to get the distance, but my instructor would have yelled at me if i didn't. p.s. if you want to get technical we can call it a "hop back-side kick" =)

[dasuberkinchen]

lol so that's how it is =D, my instructor would have yelled at me if I did use my hands o_o lol...

well done anyway =)

[sinjiku]

gj becker ^^ glad i looked it up :) plus weren't u cute in ur outfit lol jk jk keep it up

[Dragwyr]

Very nicely done, but that wasn't a jump back kick.

[acepaul1]

You could call it a jump spinning side kick, but the bottom leg barely came off the ground, so maybe just a spinning side with a little hop? Great accuracy and power. Kudos to the board holders.

[bankaibecker]

Whether a jump is five feet in the air, or two inches off the ground, a jump is a jump =)

[TeddyPalcer]

Powerful shit

[tm123456]

nicely done!

[jimbrenner]

AWESOME!! Tang Soo!

[catlettsys]
