You should read this article my brother sent me from the BBC. It's all about how physics is involved in board breaking. There are some really cool stop-action shots of breaking, too, including one of a physics grad student (who's not a martial artist) breaking a board. Shoot, I wish I'd had that much fun in grad school!
The physics connection's not news to me; Master Hughes is always talking about "action-reaction," and Ms. Pryor reminds us that to break, we don't need to be strong, we just need good technique.
