Whoo!

I broke my first board tonight. 3/4 pine, modified side kick. I have less power that way, but more accuracy. Which is still enough power, because the bottom part skittered off across the floor.

I got it on my first try, too. And I was the first one in the class. He asked for volunteers, but he was looking straight at me. I was a bit nervous, because I hadn't seen anyone break one yet, and, y'know, putting your foot through a slab of wood...

But it was fun. ::Grins:: It was fun, and I didn't feel it at all, and now I'm all proud of myself. Which I maybe shouldn' t be, so much, but I am.


... Note to self: Work on coherence.

Well, then - let me be the first (here, anyway) to congratulate you. :) Big step in precision and focus, as well as strength. Soon will come the days of multiple boards, multiple strikes, hand strikes, etc etc...

::Grins:: Thank you.

I'm actually really looking forward to the next time we get to break. As nervous as I was then, now I'm confident. That was a pretty quick switch. I'm even pretty sure it's one part of my grading I'll deffinately get.

Congrats, definitely. Proud of you. But while sparring, just remember the words of Bruce Lee in ENTER THE DRAGON: "Boards don't hit back." Keep 'em flying!

... And I now have this absurd image in my head, of being attacked by flying boards with little hands and feet and sandpaper shoes.



::Grins:: Thank you for your thoughts.
