The master at some point gets really aggressive and shoves the student. Master and student beam with delight at the Master's apparent super skill. This goes on throughout the whole day with it happening time and time again with every student.
That goes for pretty much any demo of any MA.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
