Trying to beat the impressive accomplishment set at his charity event '500 boards in 5 minutes for the United Way' two years ago (which successfully raised $5,000 in donations), Master John Thorley is pictured here Friday night (in the middle of Main Street, Moncton) splintering stacks of donated wood on his way to a stamina-testing personal record of 1,000 boards in 10 minutes (aiming for $10,000 for United Way).
Simply watching the 5th dan Taekwondo Master lay waste to his evil, wooden adversaries is exhaustive and it's easy to see from the coordination and dedication of dozens of students holding, clearing, and resetting boards in the Instructor's destructive wake, that this is a demonstration that they take very seriously and execute with confidence.
There was never any doubt that Master Thorley and his team would be successful in their attempt and I (very excitedly) look forward to the next exhibition I can photograph.
