I try to stay out of the 'BJJ is better than Karate & Kung Fu is better that Boxing' bullshit that occurs on this board, but I have to agree with terry on this one.
I have also read articles and seen demonstrations that illustrate that successful board breaking is basically a matter of good leverage and counter-pressure.
Counter-pressure essentially is the amount of force the 'holders' place on the opposite side of the board being broken. Have you ever seen two 'holders' leaning in hard and with tons of weight against the board. That amount of counter-force comtributes heavily to the ease of the board being broken.
There are tons of breaks in arts like kung fu that I don't know about, so I am not claiming expert status here. The breaks I have done were nothing short of simple.
