    superb!

    watching it without subtitles added to the suspense.

    hey, anyone here remember the Tallahassee Tai Chi video?
    "My Gung-Fu may not be Your Gung-Fu.
    Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

    "I will not be part of the generation
    that killed Kung-Fu."

    ....step.

    Oh man that is hilarious. I think my favorite part is the last line (with subtitles):

    "The problem with transcendental force fields is that they don't work..."

    Mine always do, but they just end up keeping away pretty girls.

    It's pathetic how the guy realized how much she was hurt, then tried to save himself/the demo by fake convulsing.

    My thoughts precisely. This whole thing raises the issue of how far anyone can legitimately do something to someone just because the other person claimed to be invulnerable and invited you to test it. Up to a point, it can be funny - but after a certain point surely it's like attacking a mentally disabled person.

    That kind of stuff only exists in Sweden because it was imported from the USA.

    Yeah. Not to mention having a youngish fit-looking guy test it on a middle aged woman. Unconscionable. Even worse it looks like the guy was running at her while the pudgy coach was blocking her view. The pudgy coach moves out of the way and a quarter of a second later she gets body slammed. That was an ambush.

    I'm trying to figure out some kind of explanation for how that could happen, even among new-age types, and in front of a camera. The only thing I can think of is that they have unspoken rules about self-suggestion and compliance, and they picked the wrong guy to run at her. Someone who didn't know he was supposed to trick himself into believing he'd bounced into a force field and veer off with some theatrics.

    It's always easy to blame foreigners for the shortcomings of your own people.

    That was a really serious impact.

    Surely she didn't know that was coming, and he's a retard.

    Looks like she had her eyes closed too.

    The depth of stupidity exhibited by that guy both before and after the impact (what's with his flopping around on the ground?) is just beyond comprehension.

    If it was fake it would be funny in a David Brent kind of way.

    That has got to be fake. I mean a parody.
