I do so love seeing someone who thinks he’s really hard and cool coming a cropper. They deserve the pain and humiliation!

This Muay Thai martial arts instructor is demonstrating to his students how using his skills, his muscles, and his focused energy, he can kick a bamboo pole until it breaks. Well, that’s the general idea anyway; the reality is a little different.

Three times he tries, and three times the pole bends but does not break. It’s just not willing to die at the hands of this supposed tough guy. I give the instructor kudos for keeping on trying, because he could so easily have just given up and hobbled off after the first attempt.

I just wish the camera had panned around so we could see the looks on the faces of the students watching. I’m thinking unimpressed would sum things up sufficiently.
