DOES IT HURT?

“Well yeah, a little bit. Hurts more when it doesn’t break aye!”

World Champion & Expert Coach Mr Brendan Doogan goes on to explain how to hold the arm correctly and adjust the distance for the break. You then see Mr Doogan use his entire body to deliver an elbow strike that easily demolishes the board – effortlessly. This is something he worked on in the class – getting the students to perform exaggerated movements to develop power and follow-through.

Mr Doogan has trained for over 18 years and is an International Instructor, International Umpire, World Champion in Power Breaking, Assistant New Zealand Coach, and a member of the Standards and Discipline and Tournament Advisor Groups in New Zealand.

BREAKING CLASS

An coaching session on breaking for juniors and seniors by former World Champion Brendan Doogan.

In this video Mr Brendan Doogan coaches two classes on breaking.

Firstly see how he teaches junior belts how to break in a way that builds their confidence and ability in a fun way.

Then for the seniors Mr Doogan encourages the students to “go crazy” with the execution of their techniques to build the power required for big breaks. This is done alone, then with bags, then on the boards!

If you are interested in improving your breaking, or an instructor wanting a few new ideas for how to teach it, this video is for you.
