Hiiiiii-Yaaa!

Do you remember that scene in The Karate Kid when Daniel asks Mr Miyagi if he can break wood with his hands and Mr Miyagi calmly responds "Don't know. Never had fight with tree."

Well, here is a little girl getting well prepared for that inevitable showdown with her nemesis Elm in the backyard. Now I've been told that the boards they break are not exactly the toughest wood you can get, and they are prepared so that the grain of the wood helps the board to break, but despite my pooh-poohing, how good is this for the girl's confidence? Fantastic.
