Holding boards for tkd

So freaking coool. Went tkd and my master was having his 5th dan grading today. Also a student was going for his black belt. I got to hold the wooden boards for them to break. It was really cool. The first one, a piece of wood hit me or something around somewhere near the top of my sternum (If you guys know what that is). Next time I held for my master to do his split kick and break 2 boards at once. I didn't get a very good view but since I was holding it but yeah, I bet it looked pretty cool. After that I even got to hold the roof tile things. My master had to use his shin, just his shin, to break through about 2 or 3 layers of roof tiles. They were real roof tiles lol. They were held together with cardboard or something and some tape. It was really heavy. Good thing I don't have to hold all the stuff by myself. We hold the boards and everything with 2 people so yeah hahah. My arms were shakey because the tiles were so heavy. In the end he broke the tiles. I got left with a really tiny scratch and a chip off my nail lool. My friend who was holding it with me got a pretty big-ish noticeable cut on his arm though. We were all fine though since we're men :). Well yeah, my master and the student did their patterns and sparred with eachother as well. It was pretty cool watching. The patterns look pretty hard to do compared to the ones that I do right now lol. In the end they both passed by the almighty 9th dan (max level!) master. I forgot his name. He was taekwondo minister or something for NSW but retired now. Something like that. Was really awesome to watch.
