The statement bothers me on a couple levels.
1 - Is the practice of breaking without first conditioning really all that common?
2 - Is it really part of the philosophy of TKD to do this?
So... if your school breaks, is it something you practice for? What sort of conditioning do you do?
To me, the philosophy in TKD of breaking without extensive conditioning is crazy. E.g., people do no hand training/conditioning, then hope it's the concrete that breaks and not their hand.
