Just Too Funny
Maybe it was just the “evil Gary” looking for something to comment about, but I found the below Youtube video clip absolutely hilarious. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in a very long time.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not really laughing at the guy and his attempts to break boards—no, actually I am. But I’m laughing even more about the fact that each time he fails to break the boards it’s pretty clear he is blaming the guy that’s holding them instead of taking responsibility for his ineptitude.
This karate “expert’s” lack of skill, or at least his definite lack of concentration and focus, is clearly evident. It is especially obvious the first two times he tries and breaks the boards with a forward punch. OUCH!! Talk about missing your target.
Now, I for one have never fully understood the need for martial art practitioners to practice breaking boards, bricks, ice, baseball bats, or other items to test or demonstrate their skills (or lack of them as in this video.)
In my 45 years of life, I’ve never once been attacked by any of the objects used in most breaking demos. More importantly common sense as well as training has also taught me that striking the human body is nothing akin to striking any inanimate objects.
However, it’s people like this “karate expert” who make me so glad I invested in “Advil” years ago.
