Why it is Dangerous to Imitate Martial Arts from the Movies

Probably because of the sheer awesomeness of the characters in martial arts flicks, a lot of people especially children begin imitating what they see in the movies. This sometimes ends in devastating results ranging from broken legs to torn ligaments.  Here are the two reasons to avoid imitating movie martial arts.
Martial art actors have been training for years to do those amazing high kicks and astounding back flips. They are professionals and yet they still make sure that they have a soft spot to land on.  Unless a person has had training, he should avoid doing these things because they are extremely dangerous.
A person must also understand that movies do not show everything. The camera would not show you the cushion that the protagonist landed on when he jumped from the roof a building.  In short, many of the things people see in martial arts movies are just camera tricks, which are dangerous to try in real life.
