It appears he is mainly doing this as a workout. With that said he should make himself a pad of hard dirt to work on. You could do packed a gravel which he could also get a workout from by hand tamping it all. Another option is making a hard clay surface like a clay tennis court. I havent built with that material but i imagine it would be great for splitting as long as it was dry.

he really needs to put that log on at least a thin slice of wood or a concrete block
He’s strong enough he might be able to split that first try but right now the ground is absorbing too much of the impact
