Of course there's a connection.
If your particular martial art does not train in breaking or do any of it you might not know any of the simple basics (aim through the wood - behind it - not at it, make sure the holders arms are locked out and strong, make sure the grain is the right direction, good technique etc).
If you are used to pretending to throw non-resisting friendly opponents around and "using their momentum against them" you probably wouldn't be as good as a "striker" that's trained with good technique and explosive power.
I guess you do Aikido then? lol
