Oscar Wildcat That's impressive, but really, isn't Agent Orange a more practical solution?
OxygenThief I don't see how a punk band from the 80s could have done a better job.
fatatty For someone who could explode my face with his shins he sure does sound funny.
spikestoyiu Thais make a lot of odd noises while hitting bags and pads (and trees).

Corpus Delectable It's a banana "tree." They're actually not woody, as sweepings rightly notes. Rather, the trunk has a growth habit not unlike that of an onion, essentially a bundle of leaves wrapped around themselves.
PROTIP: When cutting a path through a thicket of Cuban Red bananas to get to the one you want to fell, do not attempt to slash through the trunk of a dead and rotting banana plant trunk, which is mostly air when the plant is alive. The accumulated rainfall that has drained into the trunk and putrefied to a high stench in the hot climate comes gushing out of the cut under the pressure of gravity in a remarkably effective spray pattern. Comical for others, but unpleasant for you. The more you know.
pineapplejuicer my stars are for oxygen thief and his spudmission skills

Jet Bin Fever I thought it said "Brokaw kicks down a tree".
baleen That would have been superior kicking footage.
spikestoyiu It's worth noting that the Japanese got so tired of Buakaw beating the shit out of their fighters in K-1 that they modified the rules in order to cripple one of muay Thai's greatest assets, which is the clinch.
sosage The Japanese simply ran into a challenge and, like other great athletes throughout history, adapted their strategy to defeat that obstacle...with Microsoft Word and lawyers.
