How to do Suspended Board Breaking in Martial Arts

Video Transcript

"LASZLO HUVE: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Laszlo Huve, here in New York City, Camp Undefeated. Today, we'll try to break a board. Our next break is an advanced break. Usually, colored belts or black belts, they're trying out the suspended board break. The main idea that your opponent holds the board in the air, midair with two fingers. Your speed has to go through the board and break the board. It's not about power; it's about technique. You want to make sure that the body is lined up properly. You want to make sure that your shoulder is in the same line with the middle of the board that you're trying to hit. Because in advanced break, you have to make sure that, instead of pushing the board, you're going through the board. You want to make sure you're hitting in the middle, make sure that the grain is supported in the right way. You want to be able to have a smooth, clean-cut contact. So our body is positioned properly, you're breathing out, ready for the break, going through. And if you recapture it again, it's all about speed going through the board, breaking the board clean halfway through."
