Arent most of those karate demonstrations fake?
Yes there are some really strong people out there who can break the boards in a legit way, but most of the time the boards are simply discretely cut before the demonstations. Thanks to those cuts (and orientation of wood) the boards become very easy to break.
That's what my friend used to do. Also he gave the real (=not altered before) boards to people he didnt like and they couldnt break them.
- AdrianB1 2y agoI cannot tell if most karate demonstrations are fake, but breaking some wood or concrete is regularly done properly in demonstrations. I practiced karate during high school and college and we were breaking stacks of ebonite electrical contactors in high school for fun, as we had a large supply of these. Most people were able to break 1 or 2, the top did 5-6, that stuff was hard but we were young and stupid and did a lot of crazy stuff (still stupid these days, but no longer young :) ).
