I attempted to break two boards with a step over sidekick. My previous attempt at this feat was as a 6th Gup, nearly six years ago. Unfortunately, as Dan member the results were similar. I did not bounce off the boards, but I did not strike them in the center either. After two attempts, I decided one board was plenty. Yes it is true, martial arts can be very humbling. The value in the lesson is simple, use the challenge as a means of growth and motivation.
It seems that practice is in order here, I am clear that I should be able to break two boards at once. Especially with a kicking technique. Perhaps I'll use an eedan yap-chagi next time?

Just curious what type of martial arts are u taking? I'm doing Tae Kwon Do - love it!
I study Tang Soo Do. It is also a Korean Martial Art.
