No-Experience-Necessary Board Breaking

Step 9Break Two Boards

Break Two Boards
One way to increase the level of difficulty when breaking boards is to break more than just a single board.  

So far, Eric N was the only person to successfully break more then just one board at Instructables HQ.

I have tried breaking two boards with my hand several times, but so far I haven't been able to get both boards to break. 

Be warned, breaking two boards really does hurt - evidence of the pain can be seen in the video below and in the "try not to hurt yourself" video in the next step.

 It will hurt a lot if you don't break all the way through because all the energy goes into your hand not dissipated like if you were to break all the way through

Although I do not recommend practicing boardbreaking without supervision of a qualified M.A. instructor, I'll give away some pointers.
When hitting the board it is best to aim, slightly behind the board, however on contact with the breaking surface, the hand-, wrist-, arm- and armpitmuscles should be tensed.
Handinjuries can take long to heal. So be carefull.
