Building Strength through Board Breaking
To the uninitiated, breaking wood seems like a ritual. More than any other activity martial artists demonstrate, breaking boards makes the public stop and take notice. The reason? Well, probably because people cannot imagine how we have trained our bodies to not only strike, but to break a solid object without injury.
What they don’t realize is that with the level of training we do, it is pretty easy. Or then again, maybe people just like to see stuff splinter into a million pieces. But whatever the reason, breaking is an integral part of rank advancement once you become a Brown Belt and provides a true objective test of technical still.
Board breaking is a part of testing used by the judging panel to measure the power and accuracy of a kicking or striking technique. Practical self defense means that the students is able to strike with enough force to stop an attacker under pressure.

Self-Defense and Sparring
At the Senior Orange Belt level our teenage students begin free sparring. Sparring is when two students engage against one another. Free sparring is probably the most difficult part of Taekwondo because students must throw techniques and block their partner’s attack at the same time. Your teenager will start sparring with light contact. As they get better at sparring and develop more control, they are allowed to touch their opponent’s body with different techniques.
Teen sparring is an exhilarating, fun and a valuable tool for each student to measure his or her own progress. It is a high intensity workout and many students tell us that sparring is the most electrifying as well as a fantastic body toning exercise. Sparring is also the best way for your teen daughter or son to learn self-defense as they need to evade or block incoming kicks and punches as, for example, it would happen if they were attacked by a bully.
Free sparring will encourage your daughter or son to implement, during a rapidly changing situation, the lessons they have learned in class and utilize many of the techniques they have developed in order to protect themselves.

Reviews
“After looking at several schools I signed my son Robert up at Davis’ Taekwondo America. My goal for this shy 7-year old boy was to improve his self-confidence. Nearly 3 years later, I would have to say “mission accomplished”. Robert’s confidence level has sky-rocketed over this period. I can also confirm it has helped him in school and in the other sports he enjoys (football, baseball, and basketball). Mr. and Mrs. Davis, as well as their talented instructors, do not only teach Taekwondo. They give the children skills they will use for the rest of their lives.”
