Karatedo strives to liberate these forces consciously at the price of constant and assiduous training. But there is no secret to it. The method is not reserved for a chosen few and anyone can reach this stage if, and only if, he is willing to strive to do it. All people have an equal chance; there is no age or sex barrier. Training with a strong will to always progress and perfect oneself is the only secret of karatedo. The secret behind the extraordinary power of techniques demonstrated in tameshi wari, some of the best expressions of technical proficiency performed with hard objects such as boards, tiles, stones, etc., rests in years of practice in karatedo. Again, there is no secret. It requires strong concentration, will power, and correct technical execution with speed and accuracy. It is only a means of testing the technique and mental concentration of the student, however astonishing some performances are. It is against the spirit of karatedo to present them as a show, because people will see in it only the destructive power of karatedo techniques. Tameshi wari is, on the contrary, a positive way for the individual to test his power and develop his confidence.
