Pretty Stupid.

Train like your life depends on it....Because it does.

Hmmm, the term child endangerment comes to mind. :(

I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.

Oh, that's what the kid gets for trying to steal a drink from dad's "Secret" stash. :lol:

 

Seriously, as a father, I think it looks completely irresponsible. An inch or two off, and your child is looking at a potential serious injury. For the next trick, watch as I circumcise my child with a Samurai sword, now hold still Johnny.... Oooops!

Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"

Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."

Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.

Would it be less shocking if he used someone older?

 

I personally don't find this THAT shocking, in that people who study nunchaku seriously actually spend a lot of time doing really boring stuff like trying to hit an incredibly small target with just the tip of the nunchaku to increase their accuracy and distancing.

 

I've done speed breaks with the nunchaku, and what you're probably not seeing here is the initial distance setup. I.e. he probably started about 6 inches further back, and slowly moved forward until he was just close enough to tap the glass. In other words, I don't think the kid was ever in any real danger. Yes, he could have slipped and hit the kid, but:

 

a. he's really not swinging THAT hard

 

b. you could just as easily hit a kid that hard "accidently" during sparring. accidents happen, and that round kick could just be an inch or two off and bloody a nose or something just as traumatic.

 

Now if this was (sorry) some kid who learned how to do kewl nunchaku tricks off the web and was swinging them around like a moron, it would be a different story altogether.

I'm no longer posting here. Adios.

But look at the apperent age of that kid...he's just a child. Even the slight force used to knock the cup could harm the toddler. If you feel confident with your skill, at least do this technique on someone who is aware of the danger and willing to take that risk, not an innocent, ever trusting child like this.
