I hate breaking boards
The whole class, everything, it was geared towards me. We did forms for about ten minutes, and then the remaining fifty were devoted to breaking; the hand break where I hold the board in my left hand and chop it with my right, and spinning back hook kick, which is the breaking kick of Adam and I solely. And not to say Adam's kicks don't need work -- they do, a lot -- but he is a hulking boy and I think he still uses the thin kids' boards, so it's not like his breaks are much of a challenge. I just can't get that hand break down... I keep stopping at the board instead of going through, or my grip twists back, or I bend forward and my whole break tips forward. I'm not about to tell Sah Bum Nim that the effort is wasted, though... I'm not testing anymore. At least, I doubt I am. I didn't test at the testing that just went by... and in two months it will be August... I just see no motivation in doing so. Two times I've tested and gone through the same ordeal; everyone is staring at me, waiting for me to just break the fucking boards, and I just can't do it. They have someone hold the hand break for me, they make me do a back kick instead of a spinning back hook kick... and I'm not going to do testing again just to go through that again. Besides... in a year, it won't matter, because I'll be going to college and I'm certain that Kenyon doesn't have a Martial Arts class on campus, it's too small. Why pay for the $525 black belt testing if I can only enjoy being a black belt for a month before I go to college...? -Adrienne
