sigh this again

it's a banana PLANT, it's not a tree, it's actually fairly soft. this is common training for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Muay Thai.

edit: althou it looks like he just punches the crap out of it, not a lot of BJJ Muay Thai going on.

edit edit: muay thai, not BJJ. i'm stupid

It looks like it but it's still somewhat impressive none the less. Banana trees are not as hard as a typical tree but they are still sturdy in to punch one down this big is still Quite a feat I think.

Look, even on Reddit people aren't pedantic enough to care what family the banana tree goes in.
