some FMA arts such as 'Sikarang' do train in board breaking btw

I know, was hoping you wouldn't notice

My broken foot would currently agree with that statement:-) I've broken boards with a round kick many times, and this time kick just an inch or two low. If it weren't for board breaking, I don't feel I would be as accurate as a striker.

Although I obviously still have work to do!
