    How much of an approximation are power measuring tools for martial arts?

    She did a little of that, but if I remember correctly, she used a palm strike (heal of hand), not a knuckle strike.

    How much of an approximation are power measuring tools for martial arts?

    No. I said she had to be accurate. Meaning, she had to hit right in the center of the four boards. I saved a few of the boards she broke:

    Yes! @berkeman BTW. She is teaching 4 other girl students now that she is a CFI (Certified Flying Instructor)

    How much of an approximation are power measuring tools for martial arts?

    How much of an approximation are power measuring tools for martial arts?

    Trust me. She wasn't inaccurate. She could break 4 boards stacked together with one fist punch. Had to be accurate for that.

    How much of an approximation are power measuring tools for martial arts?

    My daughter was in martial arts for many years. If I remember correctly, it really depended where she hit the target. IMO, I'd say 20% or more.

    I watched a PBS program today about the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Which reminded me about an interview and job offer as a non-destructive test engineer from Morton Thiokol, Inc. I had before the disaster. I ended up taking a job from a different employer. Thank goodness.
