Appparently they figure out every part of each jump precisesly and rehearse it with mats to the exact measurements before they attempt any of their stunts.

In the initial interview I saw, it was quite the opposite. These guys were absolutely nuts, jumping over walls without having any idea what was on the other side. They are also very strong, agile and have a lot of experience jumping and falling which makes it seem planned. They played a form of follow the leader where, one person would lead the group trying harder and harder stunts until they fell - sort of a stunt jam session. Really impressive and dangerous stuff.

I remember a few years later the initial club/posse/gang was giving a demonstration for a tv and half of the people that were scheduled to be on the program were replaced because they had recently suffered major injuries. It appears that breaking bones and ending up in hospital on a regular basis is part of the price they pay. kendo is pretty tame in comparisson.
