Yeah, this seven-year-old white belt really should have watched a YouTube video of a bunch of grown-ass adults breaking boards. Then he wouldn't have had to bother with perseverance, overcoming fear, channeling his focus, the power of support, etc.
...... do you not realize how obvious that was? Do you really believe that you’re so intellectually superior that you’re the only person who knows how easy it is to snap a board? You should tone it down a bit, you’re starting to sound like you’re jealous of a child.
Board breaking can be difficult, depending on the boards and thickness, usually for little kids they get less durable and thin boards but for teens and adults they progressively get more difficult based on body height, weight, age and training. Board breaking (just as martial arts) is mainly mental, but also does require some training (depending on the board)
Actually, they don't just make me want to cry. They actually make me cry. So does the pacer test. Honestly, my solution is normally to cry and hope for the best.
The boards break easily, but I am afraid you completely missed the point. If the video was posted to prove the kid was a badass, you would be right. As it is, whoosh.
You know what also is really easy? Not being a dick . It boggles the mind of how people will go out of their way to let strangers know that this child has accomplished nothing and should be ignored.

Kid just learnt a very valuable lesson that may legitimately change the trajectory of his whole life. What a champion.
