Was going for my black belt in Renbukan Karate when a motorcycle accident interrupted, put me in hospital for 3 years and left me unable to continue training....
But only four boards? I could break six, eight or ten...just like that. Dontcha just love 'em, pretty darned amazing, those 7lb sledge hammers.... I had been working in demolitions just prior to the accident.
Oh, and the other board I broke was the hospital board....after three years of mischief during my confinement (wheelchair races in the halls, midnight raids on the kitchen, being caught several times in the nurses quarters), they finally broke and urgently recommended an immediate & dishonourable discharge.
Anyhow, RomanDA, congrats on your accomplishment....oh, I can break three sheets of newspaper, maybe next will I'll see about trying four.
