I've never heard of any critisizm towards them until i came to the yahoo answers.
They're supposedly the strength of a rib ( i have never heard this proved), so they let you know your level of profecciency with a certian technique. I know they don't move and stuff, but if you can't break it sitting still with a certian technique, you know using that technique probably wo'nt work period.
*one of the breaks i had to do for a test was a jump back kick*. I did my other breaks, but then for the jump back, bounced right off the board. ALthough i'd probably never do a jump back kick anyways....i atleast now know that i am definatly not profecient with it*.
Atleast in my school, i assumed this is how it is for everyone, but you can completley not make your breaks and still pass your test.
Its a very small part of the overall test and when everything gets averaged together, you still pass.
Its also fun to break.
I have no idea what the negatives are.
