Successful power breaking is not just about strength or commitment. Small details such as angle, trajectory, and alignment often determine whether a break succeeds or fails.

Why this matters: In power breaking, a difference of only a few degrees in angle or line of force can be the difference between a clean break and a missed attempt.

This Inside TKDC post highlights the Breaking Geometry coaching session by Mr Brendan Doogan, where he shares practical insights into how geometry affects breaking success.

The session focuses on understanding the correct angles and trajectory required to maximise your chances of breaking consistently. Rather than relying purely on power, Mr Doogan explains how efficient alignment allows force to travel cleanly through the target.

In the sample video above, you will see a short preview of what is covered in the session.

Mr Doogan demonstrates several basic breaks and explains common errors that reduce effectiveness. He also addresses a very practical issue faced by many practitioners – how to perform a turning kick break when toe retraction is limited.

Clear understanding of angles and trajectory in power breaking
Improved consistency without relying on extra force
Practical solutions for common physical limitations
Coaching insights applicable to students at all levels

The full video provides a focused, instructor-friendly approach to teaching power breaking with greater confidence and accuracy.
