The reporter, Mr Lachover puts his hand together in a prayer-like motion as he prepares to take part in the risky experiment.
Mr Montakyo struck Mr Lachover with repeated blows using a very sharp commando steel blade, but his hand strayed and hit the reporter on an area not protected by the vest, causing an injury to his back.
According to reports, Mr Lachover was taken to hospital as a result of his injuries where he received stitches before later being discharged.
