The teacher shows Rohan how to perform the stomping technique and then sets up the board, which the student then attempts to break by jumping atop it and stomping repeatedly with a a series of "Aya!" shouts.

The amused teacher lifts the student back down to the ground and instructs him to stomp with only one foot, which the student attempts several times before successfully splitting the board.
