Like Al 96 said though, if you're cheating, you're missing the whole point. Just because other people do it doesn't make it right. Anyway, how on Earth does breaking 30 pieces of wood prove anything? Wood doesn't hit back, plus it's just wasteful. I could understand sparring and maybe forms (katas), hitting pads or a bag or something like that. To me, this would be like getting a black belt for shadow boxing.
You know where you stand without an additional stripe on your belt, right? Why risk injuring yourself? I think it's things like this which cause people to hate Jigoro Kano for inventing the belt system in the first place. People lose sight of the art and the point of the art itself and become obsessed with belts. Don't risk injuring yourself because you need a second stripe on your belt. That's my take on it anyhow. If you're that into it, ask someone else who's found a way to make the wood break more easily.
This reminds me of a comic I saw a while back-

Way to go! I think you've made the right decision. The whole point of the test is proving you can endure the physical and mental challenge, regardless of what they might be. Breaking 30 pieces of wood is simply a challenge which requires both mental and physical stamina. Obtaining the goal reinforces the center of your strength...and proves you've got what it takes to overcome.
Good Luck Grasshopper!

Outstanding! I'm really happy for you. You made the correct choice. You'll look back on this 30 years from now and remember how good it felt to succeed without cheating.

Ok I've been following this thread and there's one thing I don't understand. Based on what you're saying, you can or have to bring your own wood to the test?Originally posted by DHolmes
Wouldn't you think to make it fair for everybody, they supply the same wood for everybody that attempts the test?
Or am I missing something?97 Trans Am A4 more or less stock (Mods: WS6 Ram Air with Fernco & K&N, 12 disc CD changer, power antenna, SLP Fan Switch, LS1 Aluminum DS, Borla Cat back, McCord power plate, Spohn tower brace, Sirius, HID fog lights)
