When I was around 12 years old, I started going to Tae Kwon Do classes. I've always liked martial arts and it was also a great way to stay in shape, because back then I was a little on the chubby side... (as most kids are).
I remembered training hard and preparing for the belt exam. One of the last things to be done was to break a wood board. This comic is a recollection of what happened that day.
Haha to be honest I'm not sure if it was my dad or someone else who hold the half-real wood board. It was such a bummer figuring out later on that it was all fake.... but for a good half an hour or so I felt invencible haha.
So here's an advice for the kids out there who are breaking wood boards with some crazy Bruce Lee moves... don't try to break the small pieces again because you will get hurt... better to have that fake feeling of awesomness than realizing you're not strong enough to break the other halves (unless you're actually crazy strong haha)
Remember, I'm running a Discord server and also a Facebook group with @jonathan-greer, in case you want to join and we can talk about webcomics and even collaborate to make ones.
If you also like to make webcomics or comic strips, you can use the tag #steemit-webcomics
Until next time!

Hahaha nice! Why would they use a fake board? I used to do Hapkido, it was so fun, but we had to up our pushups every new belt, I was up to 50 pushups and we had to do them on concrete slaps to build calluses on our knuckles. That was like at 14, now I cry a little if I hit my toe wrong haha.

lol haha oh man you were a badass girl! probably would have kicked my ass (and probably still be able to haha) Well I was like 12 I think, and I was still training with the small kids.... and shortly after that stopped going there, maybe at some point they start using real pieces of wood

Lol yea I was pretty badass at that age, Italian heritage, now I'm out of breath just thinking of going up stairs haha. I suppose our boards were pretty thin, I had tried breaking other kinds of boards at the time and regretted it instantly haha. We did have some guys come down from the big organization and they broke concrete blocks it was CRAZY cool!

Really cool looking cartoons dude! That's a funny experience too, great job by your Tae Kwon Do instructor for not telling your Dad how they did it haha.
Did you still keep up with the training after you caught onto their game? ;)

Thanks :D! I'm slowly improving my drawings :D
haha no, after I realized the lie I was done with it!!!! haha, jk. I did stop going but it's because I wasn't enjoying the classes that much. In my senior year I did practice some karate which I liked, but after having an unrelated injury I stopped going... :(
