You can also throw the board and break it in mid-air. The black board is the best (and hardest to break) and I have broken it over 200 times without significant change in its resilience. [...] I rate it’s quality VERY GOOD. I’ll write an updated review after I’ve broken it 1000 times.

My son and I take Tae Kwan Do and purchased these boards to practice for our advancement tests. The difference in strength between the boards is a little less than I expected. There is a difference in strength between the three with a greater difference between the red and black than the blue to red.
The handles are the best feature as they allow a Martial Artist to practice breaking w/o having to use either a fixture or a human holder. You can easily hold the board with one hand, and strike with the other; does require more precision on the hit. If you’re using the boards over a mat (like the kind found in many Martial Arts Schools) you may not want to try the single handed breaks as if the board falls just right, with the corner of the breaking edge down, it can put a small cut in the mat. An old towel over the mat would probably work just fine to protect the mat.
After dozens of breaks, the boards do become slightly easier to break; in other words, they’ve become broken in. However, the person holding the board can compensate if they apply slight pressure to the handles and cause the board to arch slightly toward the hitter. Also, even with only bare feet and hands, the protective colored padding on the board has a slight tendancy to peel off in small pieces of less than 1/8″ near the breaking edge. If you don’t care about looks, a piece of duct tape works nicely to prevent padding flake. The padding is a good feature as there is less damage to your knuckles compared to the unpadded plastic rebreakable boards or actual pine boards.
If Tiger Claw were going to improve the product they could experiment with different grades of plastic to increase the life of the boards, slightly round the four corner edges, and perhaps apply a strip of rubber on each side of the break to better hold the colored padding in place.
For practice, using these is much greener (and cheaper) than using actual wooden boards.

This is a great tool for training, as a Martial Arts instructor I know that wood is better for feeling & exibition, but no need to waste wood on training sessions.

Works great. After a few breaks, though, you can tell it has weakened a bit. It still works, but I think I’m going to need the black board now.

The board is what it is. Paying more than 30% for shipping really hurt. However, I couldn’t find anyone else selling this.
