@@davidrhodes5604 Yes, but it's troublesome when you can't even go to the tournaments regardless due to money problems.

Especially when my partner for it would either ignore the "light contact" rule (We were yellow belts) or would push to my wall, where we were meant to switch striking and defending, but wouldn't actually switch. I decided "Well I'm at the wall, time to switch." and started the routine, but the other kid didn't like that, complained saying that *I* was ignoring light contact, and I got in trouble, though it was just a stern reminder of vague terms that didn't *really* solve either problem.

Haha well it would be no fun with an adult. They'd have to hold back or else they would just smash his ribs to bits. Either way it would not be that great to watch.
LMAO The moment I saw the two boards at 7:03, I knew exactly what was going to happen. One was with the grain and the other against the grain. Good luck ever punching against the grain and winning.
@@Spartan-of8im Yes, Against the grain means against the natural way the wood is bending, meaning you essentially have to punch twice to bend it into a 90 degree angle and then hit through it. I would not advise anyone to try that
Kudos to Dan. That high kick at the end of his montage was actually pretty good for one day of training. I loved doing taekwondo as a teenager, but my family put an end to it just before my graduation to a blue belt. I was devastated.
This brings back so many memories. I got my 1st Degree Black Belt in TaeKwonDo when I was 11, and that little girl oddly reminds me of all the friends I made at that time in my life. Thanks for the two videos guys! That team and what they do is absolutely unreal.
@@thrawn82 I'm fairly sure he knew it was coming. Even I knew it was coming based on Gavs tone, body language and expressions and that he checked the boards beforehand and made Dan use a certain one. I felt like that was super obvious. Although I was surprised when he actually punched it.
You can wrap a non injured hand also lol its called illusion. Guarantee that was planed, knowing that a person can break a hand easily on a wood board.
As a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, keep in mind that the boards demonstration teams use are actually brittle and relatively easy to break. They're not really used to show strength, but to show precision in their kicking. But that one master was right, they do hurt quite a bit when kicking, especially when they splinter
My 10 year old son has been doing TKD since he was 5 and has been a Poom belt for the last 1 and a half years. With his kicking techniques and constant deep core training, his round house kicks can break my ribs. His tornado kick can take my head of my shoulder with all the power he has. Taekwando has the world's most powerful kicks in the martial arts world.
Depends on the organization, in ITF (at least here in Norway) there's a minimum of 2,5 years between red and black, unless you're so insanely impressive that your tutor decides to award you two stripes instead of one
no, no no, if you get a black belt as a 12-year-old with 2 years of hard training then you are in mcdojo, kids don't understand what martial arts are. if you see a kid as a black belt then their dojo is a mcdojo. in my dojo and in any normal dojo age is also required to get a black bet, kids who have been training for 10 years in my dojo and are like 12-11 are brow, blue and green.
I love whenever they do an episode about martial art, gun or anything, Dan look genuinely impressed while he obviously was in military and had all sort of training as well,
it really did shock me scrolling along to find a video like this. And on top of that, its British people being decently enthusiastic about something that's not British haha, but your right as someone who also does Taekwondo, i really appreciate their support ✌
@@drunkpunch7334 that really doesn't change anything. America and the west in general is very bias haha. its not like because hes American hes all of a sudden very honest or good

I once trained with a mate who was a black belt kick boxer he told me to hold the bag that you kick when training to keep it steady when he kicked it. He kicked the bag and I went flying across the room he said that it wasn’t his hardest kick and I felt it through the bag
My friend was a black belt kickboxer too. Her ring name at the gym here was Demon because she was so fast and strong they thought she sold her soul. I let her kick me just to see how much it hurt and ohhh boy did it hurt. I was bruised for weeks from the one kick.
I did Teakwondo when I was in elementary school for maybe 5 years and was a black belt. This makes me miss it so much and want to get back into it. The self discipline it required but how amazing it felt to break a board, win a fight or win a trophy was ALWAYS worth it!
If Dan didnt have that kickvest tied around him, she would have landed a really stellar kick to the liver. At her tiny size with a 22 pounds per square inch kick, a liver kick would have him on the ground in the fetal position, green in the face and throwing up. I'd say she could definitely stand her ground very effectively in the schoolyard 🙊😱🤜🏻💥
I would not be surprised if he broke some small bones in his hand. My daughter (3rd Dan Black Belt) tore most of the ligaments of her wrist. She also wore out (as in sand came pouring) 3 leather 100lb Everlast bags doing it. Luckily, we found a surgeo who was able to reattach them, but she can no longer practice TK.
@@@prolly537 She's doing fine, just can't go around punching things with her right hand anymore. The surgeon did a superb job! She's married, has a kid, and has the job she wants. We're really proud of her. But she can predict bad weather...
Dan is a legend. Excellent showing under instruction. The instructor was actually impressed, well done. A novice with skill is still worthy of respect.
7:48 another reason the board didnt break is that his elbows werent locked. When Gav punched through the board, Dan’s elbows were locked out so the force is all going into the board. If the holder’s elbows arent locked, the flexing of the elbows absorbs some of the force.
I took a Taekwondo class a long time ago. Sucked at it, but had fun learning some of the moves/basics. I've got mad respect for these martial artists/athletes. lots of dedication.
I started taekwondo when I was 4 and stopped after getting my 3rd black belt. I was in extreme martial arts training for a short time and I do remember some of the others being able to do crazy stunts like this but I know I would have broken my ankle lol. I stuck with doing sword dances and weapon forms. This video really made me miss doing martial arts. Thanks guys
Not many people realize the boards used in martial arts are baked in an oven to make them dry and brittle. They're also held a specific way to make them more likely to break.
If you're talking about in demonstrations then oh yeah, all of that is true, but during testing we use real boards, but only people going for black belts and higher black belts break them, as to cut down on injury as much as possible
Ryan Snider I honestly thought they were wood pulp made to be hollow in the center but now that I think about it, that doesn't actually make that much sense.
Those demo boards looked like 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch, thinner than what I used for testing. We used 1 inch pine boards and to pass a test for brown belt and above, you had to break 2 boards, held together. twice. The story was, is that it takes the same force to break 1" as a small bone in the body, 2" a medium bone and 3" for a large bone. But board-breaking is used in testing mostly to test technique, not strength. If you do the punch, kick, or strike wrong, you will fail and hurt yourself. One of my breaks for my 1st degree black belt, was a reverse elbow strike, I did it wrong the first time and ended up having a bruise from my shoulder to elbow.
true, they hold them in a way specific to the kick being performed, there's no way the board breaks going against the grain so it has to be held so it can break with the grain
Not really,.......the ones that we used for training are at least 5 inches thick and are pure wooden plank.......not baked, my friend hit it once for her black belt exam and her hand got freaking black all over the next day
It illustrates the difference between a thick and thin piece of wood. Unless you're sarcastic but I've never seen someone put 'lol' at the start of something sarcastic.
@@PaulFrank49 lol I put lol in most of my comments, lol. As for the boards, the grain really does make all the difference. Same thickness and dimensions with the grain running vertically across the board, and it'll snap with very little force. Grain running the long way across, and you can jump and stomp on it all you want and it won't budge. That's why, when shopping for lumber, it's important to look at the grain and make sure it's straight. If the grain goes at an angle, that's a board that will break easily under stress.
@@Kragatar That is not the case here though, the koreans are sinply kicking very thin boards. If they were to try to brrak the same board as the guy punching did, they would break their foot.
If Gav held it correctly, ie the grains of the board are vertical, then Dan would've been able to break it easily. As for the koreans, I'm pretty sure they break multiple of this 1-inch planks during their black belt grading. It's just that if they use 1-inch planks for demo, they won't be able to break as many continuously.
God I hate when people bandy that about. Boards are still great training tools, just, like LITERALLY ANYTHING in martial arts, they shouldn't be used by themselves
Also worth it to point out that Taekwondo is an art style, not for self defense! It’s meant to look pretty and be performed, as well as instill discipline, but not actually fight. It’s incredibly inefficient, especially when compared to a style like Krav Maga which is actually made for self defense. I love Taekwondo, I spent 10 years practicing it, this is not a dig lol
Karate and TKD studios used it for years as advertising, to impress newbies and parents, deceptively. And the "pros" in the first episode were using it for dramatic effect, they might as well have burst balloons of glitter. Especially when Bruce said that, boards were tools of deception, not training. Perhaps you're too young to remember.
@@CT9AForever no, the board was cut wrong. gavs board was not only balsa wood but the grain went with the short side. Dans board was probably pine and those can be broken, if the grain wasnt with the long side. he was fighting a tougher material with it's strongest orientation
Being someone who is in Taekwondo I know how hard the kicks are.....depending on how their mindset is.....I am a 2nd degree hoping to be 4th mainly to beat my brother at Taekwondo so yeah 👏🏻👍🏻
I have to give full respect to Dan for that flip. I never understood the technique. That little girl was so adorable. When she smiled her eyes and whole face just lit up the room. But DAYMN 7yrs old and kicking like THAT. She won't have any problems, fullest respect to her!
That's an awesome montage, so 80's I love it. I'm proper impressed that Dan did the kip up, fair play. Great kick by the kick. That definitely would have knocked the wind out if there wasn't a pad.
Gav: Well, I think throughout this series that was some of the most impressive human feats i've ever filmed in slow-motion Dan: You talking about my montage? Gav: No.
Ive seen a live demo from these guys last year in North Carolina, USA. They had just won the national championship in Korea and they were on tour doing shows. I saw them at a Taekwondo tournament that I was participating in (1st Dan black belt)(in 13)
Hey Dan piece of advice as a Tae Kwon Do black belt candidate do not pull your punch when you attack that board i noticed that you hesitated and did not put all your strength into the blow, that will reduce your power by half and increase the pain and actual injury when punching our striking a target make sure you try to punch THROUGH it and not stop at the object.
i’ve done taekwondo for 5-6 years and im a second degree black belt. board breaking is very hard the board breaking at the beginning takes a lot of training most people just do sparring but if you do poomsae or board breaking that takes a lot of skill and power glad to see taekwondo getting noticed
That group would make for some amazing ballroom dancers. Their body control on the ground and in the air, both working together and separately, is flawless. I have no martial arts experience, but as a dancer this is so incredibly cool.

9:55 I thougt she would miss and hit his balls XD
I’ve never heard anyone call balls eggs 😁
Yeah me too
In Germany we do
@@Lunaskyuwu
I didn't think it would happen but I did hope it would.
@@Lunaskyuwu he probably just got confused because there are languages that you say eggs and not balls, for example hebrew
You guys should do a slow-MO video of a baseball pitch (curveball, etc) to see the ball's rotation. Then have Dan try to hit a 90mph baseball 😂
I started taekwondo when I was 4 and stopped after getting my 3rd black belt. I was in extreme martial arts training for a short time and I do remember some of the others being able to do crazy stunts like this but I know I would have broken my ankle lol. I stuck with doing sword dances and weapon forms. This video really made me miss doing martial arts. Thanks guys
That was a great interview.
I love when he admits that the board holder get kicked in the face "a lot"
6:26 Dan can do a kip-up?? Lol. That's better than most of us.
I love the custom lighting the Slo-Mo Guys use for the Taekwondo team! Looks very cinematic.
So, they kick with their hands?
10:53
7:25
Nope.
Danica was so nervous, but she's adorable!!!!
He was just praying that she could kick higher than crotch level 😖
Thank u. She was little shy that day for the shooting. In real life she is spunky.
Not many people realize the boards used in martial arts are baked in an oven to make them dry and brittle. They're also held a specific way to make them more likely to break.
If you're talking about in demonstrations then oh yeah, all of that is true, but during testing we use real boards, but only people going for black belts and higher black belts break them, as to cut down on injury as much as possible

I honestly thought they were wood pulp made to be hollow in the center
but now that I think about it, that doesn't actually make that much sense.
Those demo boards looked like 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch, thinner than what I used for testing. We used 1 inch pine boards and to pass a test for brown belt and above, you had to break 2 boards, held together. twice. The story was, is that it takes the same force to break 1" as a small bone in the body, 2" a medium bone and 3" for a large bone. But board-breaking is used in testing mostly to test technique, not strength. If you do the punch, kick, or strike wrong, you will fail and hurt yourself. One of my breaks for my 1st degree black belt, was a reverse elbow strike, I did it wrong the first time and ended up having a bruise from my shoulder to elbow.
true, they hold them in a way specific to the kick being performed, there's no way the board breaks going against the grain so it has to be held so it can break with the grain
Not really,.......the ones that we used for training are at least 5 inches thick and are pure wooden plank.......not baked, my friend hit it once for her black belt exam and her hand got freaking black all over the next day
When i hear “kukkiwon” i always think youre saying “cookie won”
SHE IS SO ADORABLE OMG
lol Gav and Dan's board breaking illustrates the difference between breaking with or against the grain of the wood.
It illustrates the difference between a thick and thin piece of wood. Unless you're sarcastic but I've never seen someone put 'lol' at the start of something sarcastic.
@@PaulFrank49 lol I put lol in most of my comments, lol. As for the boards, the grain really does make all the difference. Same thickness and dimensions with the grain running vertically across the board, and it'll snap with very little force. Grain running the long way across, and you can jump and stomp on it all you want and it won't budge.
That's why, when shopping for lumber, it's important to look at the grain and make sure it's straight. If the grain goes at an angle, that's a board that will break easily under stress.
@@Kragatar That is not the case here though, the koreans are sinply kicking very thin boards. If they were to try to brrak the same board as the guy punching did, they would break their foot.
If Gav held it correctly, ie the grains of the board are vertical, then Dan would've been able to break it easily.
As for the koreans, I'm pretty sure they break multiple of this 1-inch planks during their black belt grading. It's just that if they use 1-inch planks for demo, they won't be able to break as many continuously.
The boards they use in these demonstrations can be broken with a stiff sneeze.
14 Dans were harmed in the making of this video
No animals , i mean dans was harmed in the making of this videos
Impressive, certainly, but:
"Boards...don't hit back." - _Bruce Lee_
God I hate when people bandy that about. Boards are still great training tools, just, like LITERALLY ANYTHING in martial arts, they shouldn't be used by themselves
@@nmitchxll305 😄 I hear ya...but that's what happens when someone says something funny or smart & it becomes popular.
And.... * Mic drops *
Also worth it to point out that Taekwondo is an art style, not for self defense! It’s meant to look pretty and be performed, as well as instill discipline, but not actually fight. It’s incredibly inefficient, especially when compared to a style like Krav Maga which is actually made for self defense. I love Taekwondo, I spent 10 years practicing it, this is not a dig lol
Karate and TKD studios used it for years as advertising, to impress newbies and parents, deceptively. And the "pros" in the first episode were using it for dramatic effect, they might as well have burst balloons of glitter. Especially when Bruce said that, boards were tools of deception, not training. Perhaps you're too young to remember.
I heard "The Cookie One Team"
This is my favourite one so far!
When a kid would be more useful in a street fight 😂
Awesome video!!! You guys are hilarious...love the montage lol! Also the little girl is completely adorable!
Gav just had to keep up the tradition of Dan getting injured.
There's this thing called wood grain as well...
Anybody can break these planks. Very very few can break them upside down 7 feet in the air.
Gav could've broke it if Dan held it the other way and didnt have his arms bent.
@@CT9AForever no, the board was cut wrong. gavs board was not only balsa wood but the grain went with the short side. Dans board was probably pine and those can be broken, if the grain wasnt with the long side. he was fighting a tougher material with it's strongest orientation
Yep, they intentionally held Dan's board the wrong way to keep it from breaking. Not to mention it might have been a stronger wood to begin with.
@@jjones2582 Why does your name have a grey background? I've never seen this on RUclips before.
God damnit gav, he’d only just fixed his hand from last time!
Being someone who is in Taekwondo I know how hard the kicks are.....depending on how their mindset is.....I am a 2nd degree hoping to be 4th mainly to beat my brother at Taekwondo so yeah 👏🏻👍🏻
Muay Thai >
@@miketiker i respect Mui Thai but any Martial artist knows its foolish and dumb to just say "im better"
"Back to you Gav and Dan" is the best part of every video
Shoutout to my grandpa because that's the only way he can hear
WHAT?!?!
So basically, a lot of pain.
Allot of wood breaking
@@zerotwo9436 Why?? What did all the wood do to them??
I have to give full respect to Dan for that flip. I never understood the technique.
That little girl was so adorable. When she smiled her eyes and whole face just lit up the room. But DAYMN 7yrs old and kicking like THAT. She won't have any problems, fullest respect to her!
That's an awesome montage, so 80's I love it. I'm proper impressed that Dan did the kip up, fair play. Great kick by the kick. That definitely would have knocked the wind out if there wasn't a pad.
Gav: Well, I think throughout this series that was some of the most impressive human feats i've ever filmed in slow-motion
Dan: You talking about my montage?
Gav: No.
"How's the hand?"
"Still a bit stiff."
So interesting. I'm gonna watch it again. Love the slow shots.
Ive seen a live demo from these guys last year in North Carolina, USA. They had just won the national championship in Korea and they were on tour doing shows. I saw them at a Taekwondo tournament that I was participating in (1st Dan black belt)(in 13)
“Dan, do you want to show me your montage?”
“YES I do.”
Stare at screen.
Commercial starts.
I used to do Taekwondo and i was SUPPER close to black belt but i had to quit because of school.
Edit: I was red belt 3 Strip
Surprised that not many people at all noticed how Gav just changed the direction of the wood grains to prevent Dan from punching through it.😂
He also didn't lock his arms while holding the board like Dan did.
Hey Dan piece of advice as a Tae Kwon Do black belt candidate do not pull your punch when you attack that board i noticed that you hesitated and did not put all your strength into the blow, that will reduce your power by half and increase the pain and actual injury when punching our striking a target make sure you try to punch THROUGH it and not stop at the object.
I always get a buzz hearing about Taekwondo being a black belt in it 😂😂 good stuff
i’ve done taekwondo for 5-6 years and im a second degree black belt. board breaking is very hard the board breaking at the beginning takes a lot of training most people just do sparring but if you do poomsae or board breaking that takes a lot of skill and power glad to see taekwondo getting noticed
And the dude in the video did it in a day?
Okay so this was the best "extras" video you've made. I actually leaned something interesting that needed to be told to me by an expert
You did great, Dan! 🙌🙌🙌
That's why Baek and Hworang are the best players in Tekken
can we have Chilly Gruchy again?
Gosh i loved this channel
That group would make for some amazing ballroom dancers. Their body control on the ground and in the air, both working together and separately, is flawless. I have no martial arts experience, but as a dancer this is so incredibly cool.
