Board Breaking in Tang Soo Do Martial Arts

Video Transcript

"This is Kelly and Rob from South Florida Tang Soo Do coming to you from Muse Art in Hollywood, Florida. As a traditional art, we break things in Tang Soo Do, it helps demonstrate the power that we learned to generate in class and also it helps build confidence. To a large extent, breaking is sort of a mental exercise, but there’s a lot of physics in between it too. Rob has already practiced his technique lots of times in the air, on boards, against pads, against re-breakables before he moves up and to the brick. And he basically used good body mechanics for his hip, penetrated down and his shoulder was above his palm heel and he just let physics do the work for him."
