That looked like it hurt.

Actually this is the second time I've seen this video.

What comes to mind is me wondering why people are still doing these kinds of karate demos today. I thought Uechika passed a law allowing the building materials equal time.

I like this one, too. Good thing they only gave her one bullet!

What do 10 bats cost? Expensive hobby.

They only hurt when they don't break.

Actually they gave just enough on the first strike to pass most of the energy away from his shin and into the handles.

That demo is a bit more impressive, but not really as tough as it looks. A major leauge pitcher can break a swinging bat every single time by throwing a breaking cutter onto the handle of a swinging batter.

Bats weren't meant to be hit on the handles. They're built so specialized today (to get more force in the contact) that many have an extremely high end to handle width ratio. That puts lots of stress on the handle with any kind of contact either from a baseball or a shin. Do so with the grain going the wrong way, and breaking at the handle is a piece of cake.

Bigger boys can break more bats. It's simple physics.

He had a wide path of destruction also.

He was breaking them from almost his knee to his instep.

Your analogy of the pitcher and that Karate guy reminds me of the scene in Braveheart where the big red haired scotchman throws the boulder, and Braveheart throws the little rock and knocks him out.

It's a good thing that first guy missed entirely. That was the worst lined up punch I've ever seen, I was cringing waiting for him to shatter his middle knuckle, roll his wrist and break it, and then dislocate his shoulder.
