Focus Breaking Boards

focus boards

Focus breaking boards were the first reusable breaking boards produced around 1975. They became popular with martial arts schools as they eliminated the storage and handling problems associated with real wooden boards. The focus board consist of two halves that are connected with a key, a thin piece of wood, through a centered channel. The key would simulate the strength of between 1, 2 or 3 pine boards.
