Like I said before.. what's the point of breaking boards? I know that they cut the boards so that you break it WITH the grain.. that doesn't show power, that just shows precision in breaking a board. Bones don't have that type of grain. So what's the point? Breaking a baseball bat.. now that's impressive, although the crying afterwards isn't.

I think the point of it is the precision. Also it does take a certain amount of force, they don't break by themselves after all (much to the chagrin of lumberjacks I'm sure).  |

all about focus and confidence.....some bones are easily broken. eg: cliavicle just takes about thirteen pounds of pressure, ribs take less. 
question: are there no confidence builders in your style of muay thai? or do they use repetition and heavy bag for that?

The confidence is built up everytime we see a Muay Thai fighter win. Everytime Muay Thai is used in MMA, the ring or in the street and prevails (which is often, as far as striking). Repetition, bag and pad work is used to build skill and power. We don't like to build up a false sense of security by breaking in-animate objects.

What does this have to do with self-defense?

perhaps breaking inanimate objects is just another form of the human challange. such as mountain climbing, scuba diving, sky diving, race car driving or piercing/tatooing ones body for instance. some people enjoy taking a sledge hammer to old cars. it's what gives us identity and individuality.
