How much harder is a speed break versus a power break in martial arts, say, Taekwondo? 2x? 5x?
Short explanation for the noobs:
Power Break = The one you see on tv, boards are supported on both sides somewhere, you punch them until they break; pic related
Speed Break = Boards are not fixed, ie. thrown in the air, or only fixed on one end, ie. held on one side, but not the other
Let's say it takes 100 kg/ 220 lbs of (colloquial) "force" (Newtons isn't "force", I know) to break a supported board with a power break. How many Newtons would it take to break it with a speed break, say someone only holds it at one end and the other swings freely.
Btw, if you say boards don't hit back, you never failed a break.
In b4 "boards don't hit back" anyway. Reason I ask this here is that I can't find shit on google about this conundrum.
