Tae Kwon-Do Board Beak by Hand During Black Belt Testing

This break demonstrates the use of the knife hand and ridge hand. Both directions of forward and reverse are used to strike a secondary boards edge to break the main board. The strike must be accurately delivered with enough speed and power to break the board. At 49 years old it was not an easy task but I did manage to get them all. The third board is my dominant hand and you can instantly see the power of a forward ridge hand.

Hey Fran and Lisa. Congratulations on the opening of your school! I wish you both much success. Yes Fran you should remember this day as you were one of the holders. It was great seeing you both on Saturday. I look forward to attending tournaments at your school in the future.

Wow excellent, I also train under Master Kwon, but under Kyosah Nim Robert Luccianno in the Bronx.

[achurba]

Thanks for the comment. I was in NY when Robert promoted to fifth degree. We both trained another style taught by Frank Ruiz many years ago. Martial arts is part of my life and life style. I will continue to train even when I'm 70+ years old.

why is he using a piece of wood to break it?

[achurba]

Striking the edge of a board demonstrates accuracy. If this break was just striking a board it would have been multiple pieces. The target was 3/4 inch and not 12 inches. The break was with both hands using the inner and outer part of each hand. It is a difficult break and requires concentration. Typically in a demonstration I would break 3 or 4 pieces of wood without the edge of another. This is not a break I dreamed up but dictated by Grandmaster Kwon, Jae-Hwa during my black belt promotion.

It's so hard to hit the edge first then to the main board. You did a great job!

I am dataxpress's sensai, and I can say with extreme confidence that is he the best I have ever seen. At age 5, his mother accidentally locked him outside overnight in the middle of winter. He killed an elk using secret Korean tactics and slept inside its body to stay warm. So the next time you think about making fun of him, consider that he might save your life some day. Actually, he probably already has.

[MAN528]

Yes i plan to as well. I have been training for 8 years and am a high red belt. I think it is safe to say we train under the greatest martial arts system in the world.
