Guys, Guys, Guys. Is nothing sacred? Next thing you'll be saying is that the spear on the throat thing isn't real. You guys have crossed the line!

The Easter Bunny isn't real, nor is the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus is actually a leather boy who lives in SF

Uh, well back to topic:
My San Soo teacher was learning Chi Kung from Doo Wai back in the early nineties, and while I can't vouch for lineage arguments nor structure/skill/fighting ability, I can say that the coconut breaks I learned are real. I've never doctored anything, and the iron hand skills I train to this day come from Doo Wai through my teacher.
Coconuts are harder to break than other materials I've worked with, and there is no trick of angle or inherent weakness in a coconut like you can arrange with boards or bricks. I've heard that a rotten coconut is easier to break, and of course a scored one, but I've never tried it.
Usually a coconut breaks pretty clean, or else it just "breaks" by way of a hairline fracture that takes a second shot to complete. I've only smashed one flat once, but that may have been structurally unsound for some reason.
His breaks look real to me.

I too have broken coconuts, probably about 17/18 years ago, when I first read about them. I even think Dave Ross might have been with me to buy the coconut. (I could be wrong)!
I broke a few of them, no problem, no advanced Iron Palm. I probably didn't really start practicing any Iron Palm training until a few years later.
No major skill to break one, a little technique, strength and belief in yourself is all you need.
But I STILL don't think that his breaks are real. I've broken em, and they don't break THAT EASY! Unless of course you have a magical Chi-Blast, that is!
