Three-station traditional board breaking. You choose the techniques and the number of boards — then you get one minute to set up and one minute to break.
Everything within these bounds is your choice — which techniques, how many boards, how you arrange the stations.
This is the part competitors most often get wrong. Read it twice.
No bricks, no cinder blocks, no fruit, nothing else. Pine boards and only pine boards.
Competitors provide both. Holders are your responsibility too — arrange them in advance, not while your set-up minute is running.
Available for purchase on site if you need them — but don't plan around it.
Open to all ages and all ranks.

Breaking follows the same awards structure as forms — three places. (Sparring awards two third places.)
