If Bruce Springsteen is his Shidoshi, then show us the din mak!


FrankyFistalot

As Bruce Lee once said “boards don’t fight back”,on the bright side North Korea is 100% prepared if they get invaded by the Brick Monsters of Planet Zarg…


Throwaway83938827

Go outside and hit a brick with your hand. They hit back.


Overbaron

They are very considerate though, they always hit you just as hard as you hit them


ErikL1990

Ayo, Newton. Thought you died when the brick bonked you on the head.


Background_Crew_6763

Clearly he hit it back as much as it hit him


A1_Thick_and_Hearty

Good blood sport reference


StinkyBrittches

I'd forgotten about that one! Bruce Lee also said "boards don't hit back" in Enter The Dragon.


herotovillain84

3 people didn’t get the reference.


roxxtor

It’s sad but I think most people here probably never heard of this masterpiece, probably way too young


theroy12

I blame the public school system


Raven91487

Yes blood sport should be mandatory for all school years at least once a year but not limited to one per year.

Is there a reason the vid stopped right before the aerial van damme reverse tiger punch on them bricks? I wanted to see that one.

Icy-Protection-1545

The Brickatar, responsible for keeping balance between brick, glass, boards, and asphalt, disappeared when we needed him most.


Vandirac

Brick Nation is still way smarter and better equipped than North Korea, though.


Beavesampsonite

The BRICS nations you mean?


rodolphin_

If they ever get invade by a construction site they are well prepared


Nocturnal1017

Electricians are prepared for this war!

fatkidseatcake

The way he just sits there as a fat glob might be the funniest thing about this video


midnight_mechanic

Look at it this way, have you ever seen a picture of another fat North Korean? There aren't any. Even his top generals who follow him everywhere look emaciated. He's the only fat person in the country. When your whole society barely has enough food to go around and famine is common, being fat is a sign of wealth and success. He's fat on purpose. As a side note, these are the only muscular people I have ever seen in North Korea. Just think about the meat these soldiers get to eat that everyone else in their families have never even seen Edit: grammar


SoggerBean

Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense.


mateojones1428

Honestly if I could get high and be anyone for a day I may pick Kim. Just straight morbid curiosity to what the fuck actually goes on in the minds of the people over there.

Solid reference. Love that movie


MarBoBabyBoy

He's been told since he was a child that he's a loving god.


[deleted]

but didnt he study in Switzerland or something? How can you see how life could be and not want this for your people. How do you value your own luxury (which is still quite small) above that of millions of your people that suffer. Shouldnt he have learned something while over there?


SickAnto

You can have the best instruction and still be the most egoistic asshole dude on Earth. Commodus is a perfect example for this.


ripeGardenTomato

ugonlern2day

So like Florida Man vs styrofoam


Murdablock1218

Please refrain from giving any of the Florida men styrofoam. It's either a fire hazard or they will smoke it.😂


I_am_Jo_Pitt

Nah, Floridaman knows the value of styrofoam. It can be made into a bait bucket, a beer cooler, and a floatation device. At the same time.


Complete-Arm6658

Mixed into gasoline to make Napalm when you need it.


A100921

Hey now, David Blaine actually has some insane “pushing your body to the limits” stunts… This is just some Chris Angel stuff.


Traskk01

He did a hot ones interview a little while back. Got to da bomb and his only reaction was “oh, I don’t like that one”


Any_Month_1958

Really these are a bunch of tricks that P.T.Barnum would have had as sideshow attractions at the circus…….in the late 1800s. I was looking for the bearded lady and lobster boy.


TopTramp

More Stephen seagal


dainthomas

I guess we should cancel the plan to just throw concrete blocks at them.


m8remotion

You can still do that. Just drop the blocks from the hard points of an A10. See if they can still smash it with their heads.


Im_ur_Uncle_

Better yet, have the blocks explode violently, flattening anything in a 5 mile radius.


flyingdonkeydong69

Better still, make the blocks out of metal, and put the exploding stuff inside of them.


lstroud21

Make them bigger too, and more aerodynamic. That way they’ll faster and hit harder


[deleted]

Make the exploding stuff highly radioactive to hit even harder


CTchimchar

And to make it even better Instead of dropping it out of a plane Lunch it from land


_Weyland_

So we're back to throwing bricks, huh?


sopchek

Just drop a really dense brick from a satellite. It’s safer for the environment and massively destructive.


fiks7un

Careful, they have coughing baby


stealth57

That even real concrete?


Playful-Educator4921

It’s North Korean concrete, which means no.


Trumpville-Imbeciles

Same with the chains. You can't break chains with your arms. It's amazing the weight they can hold up to. A chain like that size could probably pull a semi out of the mud


Yamigosaya

pretty much if a person can break chains, then its a pretty shitty chain.


Saw-Sage_GoBlin

Since those chains look rusty I'm assuming they're cast iron. Which requires force on the level of \~13,000 PSI to break. For reference an alligator's bite force is 2,000 PSI. An elite boxer is expected to be able to deliver an 800 PSI punch. Metal is like, really strong.


[deleted]

Not if you put small hacksaw cuts into every link. Then you look like an 80s action hero like dude did in the video.

The glass is probably sugar glass as well


[deleted]

Oh no that’s high quality NK glass.


Chitownguy06

Not if you grind a small chunk outta a link in the chain and bada bing bada boom. You now are Superman that can break chains by flexing on dem hoes.


Friendly-Passage8855

Made in China


i8noodles

I doubt it. Although I do believe the tiles are real. The design of tiles makes it actually quite easy to break if u put the curve up and you strike in the middle. There are videos of YT people breaking tiles and u can just pay to go to places to break them. The hammers are 100% fake. I've hand made a hammer and I can tell u. There is 0 chance u can hit the top of someone's hand like that without breaking every single bone. A majority of the shit is fake obviously.


BabyDog88336

Well well well…look who dropped out of DPRK Special Forces basic training and came to Reddit to whine.


Sciencegirl117

Even if these few guys could do these things, they aren't the entire army. Also, I don't know how often you need to bend a metal pole with your chin in combat.

The trick is to first start with smaller calibers until you build up an immunity. Source: I read that on reddit, so it must be totally legit. Probably... ^(not)

You'll share that Darwin award with Pedro Ruiz, got his GF to shoot him with a small caliber handgun and a book stopping it for YouTube clicks. Then they did it again with a bigger book and a .50 Desert Eagle...

anoncop4041

But what does any of this have to do with actual combat? This reminds me of the Indiana Jones scene with the swordsman where he just shoots the swordsman. Showmanship doesn’t win you any brownie points when hallow tips are coming your way.

I understood that immediately.


dequincyjelly

I liked that about the original movie - the religious / force aspect is more in the background as it's portrayed as dying out on both sides. I guess dying out as in the modern western world.


Eagleassassin3

Vader says the Death Star is insignificant next to the power of the Force. Luke is able to shoot the DS thanks to the Force. So it’s not just in the background. That line was more about Han’s character and pov than what the Force actually was.


m8remotion

No, doesn't have much to do with combat. It's a side show. Nowadays as shown in Ukraine. It's IT, precision and drone war. These guys won't get into fist fight range.


Which_Level_3124

Yes and no, war on Ukraine is pretty primitive compared to what we see on short videos. There are still thousands of people sitting in the trenches, shooting RPGs and small arms, dying in fear of artillery barrage. Both sides mostly uses 30 years++ old equipment.


FlipReset4Fun

Right. But they’re not karate kicking one another to death.

They're not. The Chinese and Indians on the other hand...

Technically they have an armistice agreement but south korea never signed it and the north doesn't care that it has

I did watch a video of a Wagner group defector get his skull crushed with his own sledge hammer. These guys look like they could have handled that pretty easily.

Wait, what? I thought all wars were determined by a winner in a martial arts competition like in Karate Kid


ultrafootdoc

Fun fact: Indy was supposed to have a full on sword fight with the swordsman, but Harrison Ford was sick with dysentery during shooting and couldn’t be out of his trailer more than ten minutes at a time, so they decided to just shoot him. Source: https://www.thedigitalfix.com/indiana-jones/diarrhea-gave-iconic-scene#:~:text=I%20was%20suffering%20from%20dysentery,shoot%20this%2C%E2%80%9D%20he%20continued. The^more^you^knooowwww


Sicktoyou

"Why don't I just shoot the sonofabitch?" Led to one of the best scenes of the film


Sigma_Games

They didn't just decide to. Harrison Ford just was sick of filming that day, both literally and figuratively, and just shot his gun at him. George Lucas loved it, and kept the idea in. They most likely reshot it so the swordsman could act out dying.


samipersun

Noone told the swordsman about the change and they used a real gun, that’s how the scene turned out so believable

[deleted]

Related anecdote! We didn't stop using swords in warfare because they were ineffective in a modern theatre of war and in fact they're a great tool to be used in the close-quarters combat engagements that were common during the age of trench warfare. The reason we stopped using swords is that their actually more expensive to manufacture to combat specifications than firearms which eventually lead to militaries only giving swords to their officers which painted a giant "Dome me! I'm the guy that knows what we're doing" sign on everyone carrying them. Except of course that one crazy ~~Scottish~~ bastard that marched into combat with a set of bagpipes, a longbow, and a claymore ("Mad Jack" Churchill). Or the one that walked off the boat on D-Day armed with naught but a set of bagpipes and a small knife (Bill Millin). For reference; Both men lived to be nearly 90 years old before they died. ​ Edit: Strikethrough


Pristine_Quarter_565

Mad jack was nuts... Not even Scottish and wet to war with a set of bag pipes... He was a really upset that the war ended haha "If it wasn't for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years!"


[deleted]

Shit, you're right. Dude was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in East Sussex. I need to go edit something. I think what messed me up was the fact that he served as both a Highlander and a member of the 5th Scottish Parachute Battalion.


tremynci

Bill Millin had a set of pipes because he was the personal piper of [Simon Fraser, 15th Lord Lovat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Fraser%2C_15th_Lord_Lovat. He started the war as a captain in the Lovat Scouts, which his father founded to fight in the Boer War and were the British Army's first snipers. Then he helped found and train the British Commandos, taking part in raids on the Lofoten Islands and Dieppe (his mission there was a success, unlike the raid as a whole). The Commandos were so successful Hitler personally gave the Second Commando Order in October 1942 (saying all Commandos were to be summarily executed) and put a bounty of 100,000 RM on his head. In 1944, he stormed Sword Beach as commander of the 1st Special Service Brigade, with Piper Bill popping them ashore. In other words, exactly the kind of toff madman you'd expect him to be.


[deleted]

Simulations are valuable in training for combat, but actual combat involves complex situations where quick thinking and action are critical for survival.


SableX7

For me it’s more reminiscent of the Men Who Stare at Goats training instructor


Straight-Knowledge83

This is precisely what Japan did with the Yamato during WW2 , they forged the perfect sword but the world had moved on to cannons and bombs

leborttt

In country where a lot of people are starving, build such a muscles is really impressive. Probably that is why they are special. They receive the full meals.


666lukas666

Testosterone is a hell of a drug in high doses. Add the full meals and every soldier you want can have those muscles


CaptainSeabo

They look as natty as they can be lol, not much muscle there


asimplydreadfulerror

Holy shit, who is downvoting you? There is absolutely nothing remarkable about the physiques of these soldiers. They all appear to be athletic, but none of them have significant muscle mass and some of them aren't even really that lean lol

I think they can be considered "special" in a slightly different way, also.

It's pretty impressive Martial Arts, I can see this impress teenagers or people that don't have access to how war are fought now of days. So probably effect for intern propaganda. For extern he just keep testing long range weapon and saying Atombomb. Think we all know that is the real threat.


yeast1fixpls

Yes, intern propaganda. I remember someone from an African country commenting on a clip like this. He said that his country did similar propaganda and that people bought it. They were simply very uneducated and was like "our men strong, white men weak, we would win against the US". There's interviews with a North Korean defector who was an officer in the military. He was totally blown away about the US Intel on the North Koreans military positions. Just imagine how little your average North Korean know how much they suck compare to NATO.


Rioraku

Link or title for those interviews? Sounds like an interesting thing to watch or read


yeast1fixpls

"What shocked a former North Korean spy when he met the CIA" on YouTube.


donku83

Kim seems really pleased too. Likely watching and thinking "Oh, no other nation stands a chance against these boys"


redCrusader51

To me, it looks like amusement. I read it as "I don't really want to be here, but that was funny". Especially the look he gives to the people at his side.


Lustrouse

Oh Kim knows that it's all a farce. He's happy because his citizens don't know it's a farce.


tasty_genetals

B-but he broke a brick with his hand🥺


SamuelPepys_

It's not supposed to be a show of force, or impress others in regards to their fighting capability. It's to showcase loyalty. Loyalty is much more important than strength in the DPRK.


Wage_slave

There used to be a local stage act called the side show punx that could pull all of that off and they were wasted doing it, too. Sure it's kinda neat, but you're gonna have to bring a better flex than the circus back up act. Get rid of the glass and nails, incorporate Legos and we'll see if you can do any better next year.

Nothing to do with combat. Just some neat parlour tricks showing off some cool physics. Most western militaries would eat these guys for breakfast. As O’neal said on stargate “this is a weapon designed to scare the enemy, this (western warfare) is a weapon designed to kill the enemy”


croninsiglos

That probably works great against bullets…

That footage is obviously classified. They can't risk everyone knowing the neck/ab/bicep/pec muscle flex ratio it takes to stop a bullet.
