But if you have some specific references that have shed current light on the subject, I would be interested. Jere R.

However, the truth may simply be that the martial arts as a whole are not something that any specific individual, group or country founded. What if they are a natural growth from techniques used by primitive tribes to hunt for food and for self-protection as shown in cave paintings (the use of a spear)? The oldest cave painting known is that of Chauvet, and is 32,000 years old. Jere R.

Not really, but the boards are not the choicest boards. You get whats handed to you and break it. Some times the boards are sticky from sap others you get decent. Not what I would call good, but good for promotion. For my last promotion I broke 3 with a turn hook. My heel hurt for a week. I can't even remember what I did with my hand. Probably a palm heel. As far as the hardest thing I've ever borken, well that would have to the the 2 x 12 x 12. Broke second try. I've never felt anything that hard. One of the 3 boards that I've broken that I kept. Do any of you keep broken boards that were done at significant things?
