Breaking material should not be a goal. It is fun and sometimes material happens to break while practicing on it.
Form competition is kind of garbage. The ones that are judged the best at public forums are usually the ones that are the most entertaining but not always the most effective.
I think the arts and the sciences are already mixed and have been since their birth. These arts were proven functional through application. This is science. The Japanese tested many of their weopons on living and dead prisoners. They would tie them in different contorted positions and test the blades. If the weapon could easily glide through a leg and torso then it got a high rating. Gruesome scince. They also used these open bodies to study the internal working of the body. Gruesome science.
Observation, imitation and application of animal techniques. Crude science.
Once I heard that Bruce Lee said "martial arts" should be "martial science", in the Asian culture arts and science are closely bound together.
Chalk and cheese are both sources of calcium.

Martial Arts IS a science. It is the science of bring the powers of the mind, body, and spirit together to create a force more powerful than physical technique alone.
As far as sport karate is concerned, I think it has a place. While not totally realistic, it does give practioners an opportunity to demonstrate and test their skills in a controlled environment. Otherwise you could spend years learning something that you would hope you never have to use.

Force equals mass times acceleration. Have you ever wondered why a professional baseball pitcher can throw a lot faster than he could when he first started? What changed since he first started throwing the baseball? After all, isn't the motion still the same? After a kid learns to pitch, bat, run, and catch, isn't he ready for the equivalent of a black belt in baseball, and isn't the kid then ready to compete on a major baseball team? And aren't the coaches who suggest that it takes years of instruction and practice just messing with you? And how come professional teams don't want to show how good they are against little league teams? I bet they don't want to compete with little league teams, because they are just a bunch of hype, and their wonderful abilities are just talk!

Are you talking about mythbuster? the episode where they tested the movie myth of breaking a sword in half by hitting it really hard with another sword?
