This contestant has some pretty impressive skills. While doing the splits, the man was able to break pieces of wood on his arms with ease. He decides to even further demonstrate his prowess by breaking one over his head. This is a poor choice in hindsight.

As one could probably assume, the man did not succeed in breaking the piece of wood. As a reward, he was the recipient of a beautiful KO. In front of a live audience and the judges, he falls to the floor completely unconscious. Fortunately, he had his crew there to help him to his feet and continue his act.

The judges begged him to stop but he simply had too much fight in him and he ended up being put through to the next round.

Check out the video above to see the shocking footage for yourself!
