Martial arts demonstration music?!!?

Hey, everyone! I'm the coach of a karate demo team and after all the years of doing this, I'm starting to run out of music, so I need some suggestions. PLEASE DON'T GIVE ANY SONGS WITH VULGAR LYRICS. There can't be any swearing or anything like that because it's a kid's team. And I have already used the most obvious songs like "Kung Fu Fighting," "Eye of the Tiger," "Clubbed to Death," and a bunch of mortal kombat songs. So if you guys have anything new and interesting for me to try, please let me know. Thanks!

    i've been doing instructional weapons myself, if you don't mind misconception i would prefer 'kill your heroes' by awolnation, its a song about how we should instead look up to our heroes use them as inspiration to become ourselves; heroes.

    -by misconception i mean people hear the name of the song and suddenly think the song is about killing heroes-

    1. What number of individuals believe that martial art methods had been so much simplier than they're at present again in 1900, 1800's and 1700's? And why? I feel they were traditionally less specialised, given that they have been clearly used for security. Considering that of that they wanted to quilt a wider kind of assaults and defenses, . With the present reputation of MMA do you think that martial arts is shedding the honour, appreciate, code of ethics and correct tradition that made it so excellent? You higher believe it.

    No offense intended but here is my perspective as a guy that has been seriously involved in the martial arts for over 45 years and an instructor of it for over 39 years. Music and martial arts do not go together as far as I'm concerned. If you were doing Ballet then I could understand using music. but to use music in any demonstration seems like a circus act, not something serious. The martial arts are (or at least the martial arts I was taught) is about self-defense in a life threatening situation. It is not about showing off, fancy impractical athletics, or breaking boards. It is not about colorful uniforms or having lots of patches on your uniform. It is simply developing the ability to save your life if you ever need to. Everything else will do you no good in that situation. Showy musical demonstrations really make realistic martial arts look bad.
