Answer:

Because it does not teach anything relate to karate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking boards is called a carnival stunt because breaking a board does not teach you how to fight with your opponent, and it is not a living object that will fight you back. It is an action mostly done to impress others than to show what karate is really about.
