Thank god the "taekwondo expert" didn't comment on this video.
Oof he did
@Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 And here I thought you wouldn't show up. Stop hating. I may not be an expert, but I know damn well that you aren't either. So shut it.
@Taekwondo invented 1930 ITF style invented in 1959 Also fix your spelling, man.
@taekwondo wt taekwondo itf Bro, don't tell me to fix my grammar. Look at your comment, there are so many mistakes.
@taekwondo wt taekwondo itf Just shut the f*** up dude. Listen, you say that we call you stupid, but you insult us first.
All good, except I’m surprised they allow a metal horse/holder today. In my time, we used a wooden holder and we padded the grip edges. The reason? Well, for the most difficult breaks, especially when the competition reaches a high level and your facing 4/5 + boards, you need to put a lot of speed/power into the technique, especially reverse turning kicks. If you get your accuracy off, by even a bit, you can wreck your heel/ball of foot on a sharp metal or even unpadded wooden edge. holder surfaces have zero give, even the plastic breaker boards are not really representative of human flesh/bone, but they take good power to break. I was around when reusable boards first appeared so I know the pro’s/cons, but dries wood is still the best choice, Piranha pine/deal, but requires planning and work/cost to arrange.
You can, and often should, train with some cushioning either on the target or on your attacking tool. In the competitions, however, I see equality achieved by using re-breakable standard boards essential (the same power required to break for competitors). Additionally, cost and environmental issues outweigh the possible benefits of using wooden boards. I have very very rarely seen any injuries in the power-breaking competitions (even when using the highest numbers of boards) and they typically have been bruises or soreness on the impact area. So, the risk of more serious injuries in the competitions seems to be acceptable. Of course, you can hurt yourselves badly but it is very unlikely due to hitting the holder but due to poor technique or insufficient hardening of your attacking tool (I once twisted my ankle but the holders or plastic boards had nothing to do with it. My angle of impact was just a bit off causing the ankle to twist). I personally haven't been involved with Taekwon-Do for years so it would be interesting to hear how competitors see this situation of using current equipment in power-breaking. Somebody could prepare a questionnaire study, or some other way to acquire quantitative data about power-breaking and injuries.
Shotokan karate thinking of taekwondo nice kicks
The winner have a horrible tecnic
I Guess you have a wonderful one....
@@TyphAle99 I'm sure about that hahahah
In the end it is not so much about pretty and correct technique but more about brutal strength training, precision and consistency. Of course with basic knowledge in kicking/punching.
The wisest athletes refine the technique according to their body and abilities rather than trying to match a ”universally correct” technique. Finding your own way by analyzing and testing. This has been constantly seen in many sports, even in fundamental movements, such as running.
You may find footage somewhere him lifting weights, check them out 😊 And btw, he is also a nice and gentle guy.
Those "rebreakable" boards are dangerous and should not be used. I've messed with them before and scene people seriously mess their hands up because of them. They should be thrown out and NEVER again be used. Go back to wood.
Mark Johnson I don’t see hardly any problems using plastic boards. Actually, I see many advantages, such as::
1) Equality between competitors. There is much more variability in shear resistance between individual wooden boards than between plastic ones.
2) Plastic boards become more affordable quite soon after purchasing them
3) Plastic boards always break into two pieces, wooden ones sometimes into smaller fragments that injure competitors hands or feet. I have experience on this couple of times.
I don’t have anything against using wooden boards for breaking demonstration etc but for competition use plastic boards are simply better. Imho.
@@OlliLeino_sportstuff I can not agree with you after seeing multiple people completely crush their knuckles and break their hands because they were either just an inch off or their wrist rolled just a tiny bit. I wont agree that "well this teaches accuracy" argument either because a lot of us have to work the next day and seriously breaking your hand over basically what is a long term hobby (very few professional martial artists nowadays) is a moot point. Yes, accuracy is important, but not at the cost of either making it, or a life long injury. They present dangers you wouldnt get from wood boards. You say you have injured yourself from wooden boards, im sure this is exceptionally rare since in all my years of being a competitor and a spectator, i have never seen any real injury from wood and ive been to a lot of tournaments. Plastic boards are trash and should be recycled into something more usable such as maybe food trays or potta-potties than the pieces of garbage they currently are.
Mark Johnson Breaking is risky business, indeed. If the stack of boards is challenging, it really does not matter is the surface material is wood or plastic. Especially, if you hit hard and unsuccesfully, there is always risk of injury because the whole reaction force returns back at you. I’ve done with my breaking already, so I’m safe 😁
@@OlliLeino_sportstuff I agree breaking can be risky, but it DOES matter the surface material. If im breaking standard wood boards, and i hit with my technique properly, they will break. However with those "rebreakable" ones, you MUST hit at exactly the correct spot with zero margin of error AND at just the right angle. I've broken 3 of them before with a side kick, and it took multiple tries because i was either up or down a fraction of an inch. When they are brand new, they truly are almost unbreakable. You have to break them in which is exactly what you shouldnt have to worry about. Bottom line is they are garbage, and they are injuring people needlessly.
@@77wolf89 Ok, if somebody can afford training breaking with wooden boards, I say go for it. I used to train several years with plastic boards, breaking probably thousands of them without real problems. Of course, I used some protection when training frequently (gloves, shoes, bandages etc.).
