Step 8Other Methods
Once you've mastered simple board breaking with your hand, it could be time to try some other methods.
There are ways to break boards with kicks, hand chops, elbows, knees, heads, and just about any body part you can imagine. Since I'm no expert though, I'll leave the explanation of these more difficult methods to a professional.
The reverse elbow blow pictured in the third photo below seemed to be the next best and easiest way to break one board. After consulting with my karate expert friend, I learned that the reverse elbow blow is actually more powerful then the heel of the hand blow, but it's just not quite as much fun or attractive, so I'm still sticking with the hand.
Luckily, if you've bought plenty of pine boards, you have enough wood lying around that you can try them all.
