Technique & Precision: Strength alone is not enough. The angle, speed and point of impact must be exactly right. Focus (Jip-Jung): At the moment of impact, all mental energy must be concentrated on a single point. Overcoming Obstacles: The breaking test teaches you to overcome mental barriers and the fear of impact. You do not strike the board, but break through it.
