[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Those were some very difficult breaks. The techniques they were required to use didn't allow for a lot of body movement to assist with the breaking force. Also, they had to be extremely well focused to hit the precises spot and do a clean follow through. Any deviance risked terrible injury hitting the metal holding rack. Fear of failure, fear of injury, fear of the impact....all those things made these breaks one where intense mental control was needed. There has to be great mental preparation to see those boards as a weak opponent that you can and will defeat. Belief in your own ability has to be very, very strong. Three cheers for the winners!!!

[@tone8434]

Au i can see the danger

[@wakeupuk3860]

Did destruction TKD back in the RAF 1970s especially for demonstrations for the public but using wood and bricks and not those reusable plastic ones. I can see the sense of using the plastic ones as there is more consistency which allows a better method of testing the power of the strike as wood varies due to the nature of the grain. I was though very surprise at the exposure of the metal holding rods, as hitting them could cause a lot of damage to a foot or fist.

[@tiger-mt4ju]

@@wakeupuk3860 Exactly what I was thinking. That must be horrible to think about when trying to attempt your kick.

[@johnemmons9087]

Way different from the karate clan. This is more humble and real . I like that there is no excessive screaming and displays of egos.

[@PantonePapi]

I thought the exact same thing. Those American breaking videos is all ego stroking. Much more respect, much more structure here.

[@nefariousloser]

Hi there! I was actually at this competition though I did not compete. Sometimes there are people who do excessive screaming but it’s usually punished. Our sport is about respect and there are consequences for those who don’t uphold that respect

[@scarred10]

Breaking a static board is not real at all.Even so,they would be better off using a power meter to measure force and forget about boards altogether

[@deformitygurubashi]

​@@scarred10its not about just power, to break the bords you must hit them with the correct technique

[@scarred10]

@@deformitygurubashi totally untrue,power and accuracy will break regardless of technique.If anything it takes a bit of conditioning and bravery to hit a hard board full effort. The power generated breaking boards is unusable in combat.

This brings back memories. I was Power breaking ITF TKD champion 2010 in South Korea.

[@juandougnac8826]

A very nice video, thanks a lot! In the future, would it be possible to get a view of the participants' whole body when they are executing hand techniques? That would be immensely helpful for those of us who are getting started in power breaking.

[@pv6304]

There is a definite technique to it. You must hit them cleanly, with speed and power. If you are just a few mm off target, you won't break them. Distancing, angles, hip rotation, follow through, conditioning of your striking tools, ie knuckles, knife hand, foot etc all are of equal importance.

[@hhhdx2228]

i lov itf

[@RobertWilliams-hz9tc]

you had better have faith in your technique and actual technique dealing with those 4 metal edges to choose from!! heart pounding sh!t!

[@SonofDaVinci4]

New plastic boards are TOUGHER to break than pine. You really have to sell out and hit them right on the crease. The spin kick misses seemed half-hearted and were off the mark. You can see the lack of confidence and belief in those who missed. Reverse knife hand on 3 plastic boards is INSANE! Even if the plastic boards are broken in, mad respect. Look at the thumbside of your hand. Tuck the thumb in. The strike area is less meaty and protected than the traditional knife edge. I have more respect for what I saw here in comparison to those laughable quarter inch board demos with splinters flying around.

[@SwainixFPV]

I had to side kick through 2 plastic one the other day, they are tough I can confirm

[@N3onDr1v3]

Iirc white boards are 1 inch of pine. Blue are 1.5, red are 2 and black are 3 or 4. My last comp power test was 3 red board per foot technique 2 per hand technique.

[@ceedelosreyes6357]

I'm surprised they allowed a metal horse. one miss and the edges would destroy your foot/hand. Those plastic boards were bad news. Once they got broken 50 plus times, they got easier and easier, to break, but they also flew all over the place. I saw a few bad injuries caused by flying plastic boards back in the day. Wood is your best bet, P-pine for top testing and deal for standard power testing.

[@liamgarvey33]

Better than the very fist plastic boards we had back in the 80's. when you hit them they came flying out of the horse a lot of the time. Caused a few nasty accidents. Back then, after a relatively small number of breaks they became easier to penetrate, wonder if the new stuff is the same?. I suppose they are an improvement now, over 30 years on. Still kinda prefer Piranha Pine for demonstrating destruction power.

[@dijkkla9948]

In the last tiebreaker with the reverse knife hand, what surface of the hand do they strike with? Seems like you always hit with bone to me.

[@Heigxion]

The correct way to hit a reverse knifehand is with the up middle part of the 2nd metacarpal bone, making sure you're correctly bending your thumb towards your palm. If you hit it with the bone, you'll probably end up breaking it. They also use their whole body to generate power. If you observe their technique, you can see they are almost making a turning motion, that's because they using their hips to rotate very fast and generate power.

[@ebellyfish4256]

Cool that the two smallest blokes took gold and silver.

[@Catubrannos]

Better kicking technique. That Polish guy though went through those hand breaks like they were nothing.

[@flipx900]

Yes indeed. Surprisingly it seems like accuracy has the edge over power in this competition. (Hitting the boards dead in the center)

[@Subject__]

thats martial arts for you haha

[@MartyMalfenti]

The name of the italian athlete is Matteo not Mattea.

[@James-wd9ib]

I really think that there should be some sort of machine for calibrating the clickboards' breaking point after every competitor's turn, like one table with people operating a pressure tester and sending "good" locked boards to the competition table, and taking "bad" boards that have out-of-range breaking points out of circulation (too hard, too soft)

[@colig54]

where can i buy those re-breakable white breaking boards, i can't find them anywhere?

[@AeileonNOTW]

Surely there’s a safer bit of gear they could be kicking towards. Even if they land a front kick successfully I was was having anxiety as there legs would then often head towards the spiky bits of metal holding the board

[@tone8434]

😍

[@williamparadeis417]

How about some one doing a yin yang break? 1 or 2 boards in front and 1 or 2 boards in back. Doing a reverse punch and a reverse elbow at the same time, thus a yin and yang break.

Hands are much easier to hit target that isn’t moving. Much more difficult to strike with reverse side kick. Body is moving ... have to pivot and focus on target. The champion was well balanced and was impressive at least from my perspective taking for 20 years. Congrats. PS ... hurts when you don’t break as well.

Many lean onto the target as they kick or especially punch, trying to probably use their body weight to increase the momentum. This is poor technique. One reason is that , should the target move, they would loose balance and become vulnerable.

[@nerviux]

Algún técnico en el arte que me explique cual es la gracia de esto? Se hace por tradición? La mayoria de aamm tienen entrenamientos duros y no hacen esto.

[@axelronco1642]

Lo hace porque es una competición de potencia y de técnica

[@Heigxion]

Nada más objetivo que rotura de poder y técnicas especiales. Forma, lucha y combate preestablecidos son bellos, pero se somete al criterio de los Umpires y al rival que te toca. Acá sos vos contra las tablas, no hay manera de equivocarse (es una oportunidad por técnica), y no depende prácticamente de la valoración de los Umpires, si te equivocas es error tuyo. Es pura técnica, precisión y potencia. La gracia es ver la correcta ejecución de una técnica de Taekwon-do; como no está intencionado que sea utilizado para salir a golpear personas por la calle y ver si realmente les podes hacer daño, se canaliza en esto.

Es más sencillo romper madera que las tablas encastrables. No solamente se eligen por las tablas encastrables por costo-beneficio, también se eligen estas tablas porque requieren mucha más precisión para romper. La madera, si vos le golpeas con fuerza se raja, incluso si no le golpeas en el centro de manera correcta. Acá, si le erras al centro, no existe manera de que rompas.
