Board Holder

-

Board holders are hard to find, even on the internet. Here is an inexpensive model, $70. It is quickly adaptable to various sized boards, can be easily adjusted for height with one hand, and can be held by one person, even a child, while someone practices breaking boards. Currently posted on Craigslist under Portland, OR sporting goods. Search "board holder, one hand."

Hey Everett,

You need to update your picture now that you are a black belt now! ;)

For some feedback, the one handed board holder was used at the last advancement, and we discovered that due to the PVC at the top, there was a limit on height that we could go because of the low ceilings. Obviously with a higher ceiling it wouldn't be a problem, but do you need the full height of the PVC? Might be able to lop the top part off and that would allow for higher kicks. Just a thought.

nice call Anthony, I can remove most of the PVC, I will need to increse the length of the adjustment rod about 20", so I can put a rubber bumper on it and the whole thing will be shorter and ceiling height will not be a problem.

Front Kick: The Forgotten Weapon

-

For some reason, less experienced students tend to forget about front kick during sparring matches. They often rely on side kick and round kick, even when the angle is wrong and a front kick would have been simpler, faster, and easier. Maybe the problem is that from a beginner’s point of view, front kick is not so simple. It does require some skill to produce a proper front kick weapon, and many students struggle with pulling their toes back far enough. This article offers some ways to build those muscles and perfect that front kick. But remember, the black belts have such beautiful weapons of the foot because they’ve spent years developing them. A powerful kick doesn’t happen overnight. The Weapon First, a proper front kick weapon points the ball of the foot (that round fairly hard area just below the big toe and second toe) at the target. The top of the foot is a flat line all the way up the leg, and the toes are pulled back at a ninety degree angle. It isn’t luck that produce...
