What is the typical board break......

[dreamer38f]

for each belt test at ya'lls schools? or is breaking even part of your testings?

For yellow belt and yellow/green stripe, we had to do side kick or step behind side kick.

For green, I had to do a round kick

For green with blue stripe, i am expecting to have to break with the hand.

there are a few answers to your question in the "breaking techniques" thread in this section.........

Yea they are usually the same at every school that is if they are part of the WTF or ITF. But, if your school is ran by emmit out of his garage, then I wouldnt know what to expect.

This is all kids...I train with them (don't ask...I have three younger brothers, so there are a couple my age and opne older "kid", and I usually have much larger and better boards and sometimes even different technique)


high white, yellow - flying sidekick
high yellow, orange - step side kick
high orange, blue - hammerfist
high blue, green - back kick
high green, red - elbow strike
high red - no clue
brown - three 60 back kick
after that, i don't know, but i saw somweone testing for black once jump over four squatting people and break w/flying front kick!

[Gorgoth]

at my school.. it was like this:

white-yellow stripe: front snap kick 1 board
yellow: chambered side kick
yellow green stripe: round kick
green: back kick
green blue stripe: jumping front snap kick
blue: cross-step sidekick and straight punch
blue red strip: spinning back kick
red: flying side kick (dragon kick) and backfist
red black stripe: dont know the name of the kick, so i'll call it a aerial spinning heel kick... and the 3-inch punch
black: dragon kick over 4 people with the board held 6 feet in the air... rising front kick with the height of the board depending on your height... my board was 6.5 feet in the air... ridgehand strike.... knifehand strike... knee strike... forearm strike... and finally... the hardest of all... the one inch punch...

our black belt test had a ton of breaks in it... the entire test took about a week to complete... it had a lot more than just breaks involved in it... i thought our breaks were weird... but hey.. thats how we did it... so oh well... hehe...
