Breaking Week: October 5-9, 2026
October 5 - October 9
Green belts and up (all ranks Adult/Teen class) will be breaking boards in classes June 1 – 5th. Board breaking allows students to expand their training by testing techniques on a simulated opponent. The concept being that a good technique will break a board.
Boards may be pre-ordered through Kickside in bundles of 25 through the KickShop through October 1st. Boards will be delivered to your Kickside location on the first day of breaking week. Details on sizes, grain direction and other breaking tips are available on the board breaking page.
Little Kickers and White-Sr. Yellow Belts may order 1/2″ boards in bundles of 5, we will learn how to break, but classes will not be singularly focused on breaking.
Note: Brown belts and above are required to bring boards for breaking at their testings. Please factor this in when buying boards. We will NOT be placing an additional order prior to October 17th testing.
**Gear bags are not required during breaking week. In fact, we ask that you do NOT put boards in your gear bag because they will damage it. Instead, bring them in a less expensive shopping bag**
