This Tree Doesn't Stand a Chance vs. Muay Thai World Champ Tiffany Van Soest

High-level athletes will do some wild things in the name of becoming the best at their respective craft. 

But kicking the crap out of what appears to be a palm tree in a bikini might take the prize. The scene feels like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit photo shoot meets some new type of extreme sport. 

Muay Thai World Champ and San Diego resident Tiffany Van Soest obviously has the pop in her step to chop anything down to size. We'd sure hate to be an opponent on the receiving end of one of those kicks. 

In addition to Muay Thai, Van Soest is an aspiring MMA fighter. Her record currently sits at a not-so-stellar 0-2, but look for her to get back in action later this year with women's promotion Invicta FC.
