Knifehand Strike

One of the important concepts in breaking is the idea of striking “through” the target. Part of the challenge is overcoming fear of pain, but it is important to do if you are going to be successful at breaking.

In this clip you see Mr Doogan getting Ashley to practice the technique in the air first, using a full swing right through the target. He then asks her not to change the technique at all when actually striking the board.
