I've trained at a couple of different schools and have done some breaking.
White pine was what we always used.

I think board breaking can be a good confidence builder for beginners in particular. Been told that the power needed to break one of those boards is the same needed to break a human rib.

Obviously board breaking is a "static" thing and they don't hit back. I think it can be beneficial because it takes power, technique, and confidence to
do a break in front of a crowd and your peers.

Let the arguing begin!!
