Junior Board Breaking

Duncan and I tested today for rank in Taekwondo. Our school procured space at a local park where the held the testing for the lower belt ranks, as well as a ceremony for the black belts that tested last November. It was a bit chilly to start out but warmed up nicely as the day went on and the sun came out. My test wasn’t very exciting, really, but Duncan’s was cool because for the first time he had to break a board to advance to his next belt.

We both did fine. Duncan will be a Green belt and I will receive my green stripes on my Yellow belt. As you can see from the pictures, Duncan had no problems breaking the board and was proud to display the results of his accomplishments in these pictures. For those interested, this was a 1/4" solid pine board. No scoring or cuts to make the break easier for him. He just listened to the instruction and powered through it. Not bad for 5 years old. You rock, buddy! Congratulations!!
