Sure, there is a bit of “showbiz” in some of these breaks. But I think that if some of the technics gets kids interested in the martial arts, it is far better than playing video games endlessly.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that the karate schools out there are more ‘corrupt’ than the others. It’s just that the techniques have become watered down in many schools and instructors in a very short span of time. Go back 30 years, and they trained much harder, and much more traditionally. Sadly, there are many of those taught in the old way who have softened their training and made a business out of it, giving belts and ranks so long as students pay their dues. Now that’s garbage.

Agreed… I’ve heard that smashing a coconut is comparable to smashing a human skull. Mas Oyama used to do incredibly powerful blows like this in bullfights, striking the skull and killing the bull. Of course, he also got gored once, but the point still stands.
