Board and Brick Breaking
Adirondack Martial Arts Center practices the art of "breaking" to demonstrate proficiency within our techniques. All of our students are instructed in the proper mechanics of board and brick breaking. When a student feels confident with a technique they have the opportunity to "test their skill" by breaking a board during their rank test.
Throughout the year AMAC hosts board breaking events, seminars & championships where students have extra opportunities to break boards outside of classes & testing. At our championships students compete to earn gold, silver & bronze medals. As in any sport students must prepare themselves for the event by practicing with kicking targets & shields. In addition they need to present themselves to a panel of black belt judges.
Board breaking develops:
- Increased concentration and focus
- Proper tae kwon do techniques
- Increased power
- Increased speed
- Accuracy and confidence
Please note that board and brick breaking is a skill that needs to be developed in a structured environment and not recommended for students to practice without proper instruction.
