Newtown Primary school was having a talent contest so Ruby decided to do a board break. Ruby has been doing Shiryodo Karate for 3.5 years and recently graded to brown belt. First she had to do an audition where she broke a single board then she broke 2 boards in front of 400 students. Getting up in front of that many people is not easy, well done Ruby.
Interview with Ruby:
So Ruby why did you decide to do a board break?
Because most people didn’t know I do that sort of stuff.
What did your friends think of it?
My friends thought it was amazing, they didn’t know I could do it.
How did you feel doing the break?
I was really nervous because there was lot’s of people watching.
Would you do it again?
Yes.
Is that the hardest break you have done?
I always get really nervous when I’m doing breaking. I’ve tried to break 2 boards twice before but that was the first time I have broken them.
Ruby’s previous attempt at 2 boards.
