I broke 2 for the first time (seiken) on Saturday.
It went much better than this guy's break:
The silliest karate "expert" - kewego

My sensei does a similar thing with cucumbers and blindfolds. to my knowledge, he has never hurt anyone. it's a marketing tool to get lookers-on to go, 'hey, I wanna be that cool!'
To be truthful, Jackie Chan movies had the same effect on me. Now that I'm in the art proper, I know I won't be Jackie Chan; but, I still watch his movies with fondness.
I dunno. He didn't tolerate that neck cut very well at all. He fell right over!
