LMAO! That stuff is so soft you could probably go through a 6" piece of it. Especially if the grain is running through the board. It is what they build RC airplanes out of. You can find it at craft and hobby stores. I doubt it would count. If you get it wet it might break under it's own weight.Originally posted by DHolmes

I don't think that getting it wet then drying it would do much for you. Man up!!!
No but seriously man let that foot heal or you'll regret it in the end.
You can postpone the test can't you?

Wet wood will not break easier than dry wood. If you're trying to cheat, sounds to me you've lost the entire meaning of the trial in the first place. No flame intended, but do you want to earn the title and sleep at night, or cheat your way in, never knowing if you had what it takes to earn it the right way?
If I'm correct, after all of your hard work, cheating will weigh very heavy on you for years to come. The test proves mind over matter, not smarts over the system. Just my $0.02

It's actually very common for people to try to make the wood softer,though I have never had to stoop to that level, cause breaking the wood come's very easy to me,I decided Im not going to soften the wood,But my foot is going to hurt real bad ,and I wont be able to kick for a couple months,I keep on re injurying my foot
Taekwondo is mostly a kicking sport
