Why would you try to demonstrate a skill you know you don't have?
has anyone seen the commercial that was on the net about smoking weed-the guy is doing this break, and it's all serious, and the board swings up and smashes him in the face. I couldn't stop laughing. Somebody pleeeez find it!
Haha, that was a good one (both actually). He's a persistent little bugger I'll give him that.
Haha, what a nutter!

MK-you are a God amoung men!
LOL that was great... and I have trouble respecting the guys that actually break the pine boards so you can imagine who much I laughed at the first vid when the guy kept yelling at his student to hold the board tighter... LOL thanks MK that made my day

breaking is something you do to test a skill you've developed.
in my opinion, developing a skill specific to applying it to breaking boards or bricks is a tremendous waste fo time.
in both those examples, it is clear that the demonstrators do not possess the skill or the ability that can be tested by breaking and ergo are training incorrectly or with erroneous material. And by material, I don't mean the boards, I mean their subject matter in their curriculum.
If you want to see if you can generate force and have correct mechanical structure, then by all means, break a board. But to work at it merely to demonstrate that you can break a board is a tremendous waste of time and you don't develop any martial skill, attributes or abilities from it.
having said all that, one can only hope taht perhaps these guys have their egos in check now.
Kung Fu is good for you.
