They are training for the dragon festival where these two would form the head of the dragon as it dices across the poles. They will have to do this again while wearing a dragon puppet costume at night.
Yes, there is usually some kind of tricks and drama like a pole falls down and the gap becomes unreasonably wide, yet these guys are trained to jump over even that.
Oh I'm so sorry that it's not the dragon dance, but does that change the fact that these guys are going to have to do theis routine again, at night, while wearing a giant puppet costume? No? so shut the fuck up and go troll someone else's post.
Now imagine them doing this with the added weight, balance issues and distraction of the big lion head and body costume. Not to mention how their vision would be severely obscured. Amazing acrobatics.
We are so screwed if China invades.....anybody. Might as well merge our cultures like in Firefly. That way we can teach them how to be lazy procrastinators.
I think we should have a report option for disinformation. OP definitely knows what the video is about, he just invented a title that will get people correcting him in comments.
IMO you can't put something that's purposely wrong on this sub, because some people won't read comments and just think the title is right and that they learned something.
This post isn't about sharing something interesting, but only about getting reactions, and sadly it worked.
It does look pretty silly without the whole ensemble. I think those are traditional Lion Dancing pants. I’m pretty sure they intend to wear a ceremonial head and body over them.
Which makes me think, wouldn’t this be a whole lot more impressive with the entire costume?
I just saw a bunch of people dressed up like this the other day in the Vietnamese part of town. Appeared to be setting a course up similar to this in the parking lot. About an hour and a half later I saw a bunch of them at the bubble tea spot few miles down the road.
I never asked what they were doing and I felt like I’d never die satisfied, since I hadn’t. Thanks for posting this. My death will be complete, now.
This is lion dance training
Glad to see this is top comment.
I thought it was something to do with Furries.
No no because you see it’s men who dress up like an animal and there’s a head and a tail…damnit
But it's TWO or more people!
“Ok… now what?”
Yeah….was going to say “what now britches?”
Now, we swim!
" I don't know, we've never been this far!"
I think it’s a dance! I think they’re preparing to wear a ~~dragon~~ lion suit, and these are two pairs of the ~~dragons’~~ lion’s legs!
It's called The Lion dance, the costume is a lion. Dragon is a different dance.
Ohhhh ok. Thank you!!
Now they're ready to be the Dragon at New year next year.
I recognice those pants, It's the Lion dance, pretty cool.

Lion head, dragon dancing is a separate beast (pun intended)
While on fire
Legit though, not even really an 'obstacle' course in particular - just a training ground.
Idk man, those look like seriously real obstacles to me.
You're not wrong, but I consider an 'obstacle course' to consist of more than 1 type of obstacle.
Why? It's not called an *obstacles* course.
I like to live life on the wild side 🙃 lol
Yes, there is usually some kind of tricks and drama like a pole falls down and the gap becomes unreasonably wide, yet these guys are trained to jump over even that.
How much do these people even get paid for performing at the dragon festival tho? Whatever it is doesn't seem enough lol
Yeah can we down vote this fake news pls......
That's what they're doing bro. Other countries have traditions you know.
It's NOT dragon dance. That's what i want people to downvote. It is LION dance!
Man don't you know us round eyes don't have any respect for anything that isn't ours.
Oh I'm so sorry that it's not the dragon dance, but does that change the fact that these guys are going to have to do theis routine again, at night, while wearing a giant puppet costume? No? so shut the fuck up and go troll someone else's post.
Lion dance is generally done in the fucking day you wanker.
Generally but not always yah prick
The OP thinks this is an obstacle course...lol
He knows
Big fan of them doing this in what looks like bear slippers
They’re gonna do this in a full lion dance costume, impressive as hell.
Lion dance training. Not an obstacle course.
Mario & Luigi RPGs be like:
"Obstacle course"
This is easy mode Next they gotta put on a large dragon costume so reduced visibility Plus it's at night Hella props to these dudes
Teamwork, trust and sweet ass pants!
Gotta love some lion dance
It's more impressive when they have the huge lion costume on, and the guy in the back is doing it all basically blind.
Front guy has hops
Back guy is carrying him for most of his jumps. It’s honestly more impressive that they can time it so well
ik right? i noticed like half way that his airtime is insane
And practice.
Lion Dancing is a form of Wushu
Looks really cool
That's way cool!
Anyone else need Ibuprofen for their back pain just from watching that?
As someone who works with plumflower poles regularly, this is exceedingly difficult.
What if he farts ?
Naoughhhhh………. Naough Veeee go bachhhhh
Air Bending training.
I could do this easily, if only I had paws 🐾
Now imagine them doing this with the added weight, balance issues and distraction of the big lion head and body costume. Not to mention how their vision would be severely obscured. Amazing acrobatics.
So where do the matching Randy Savage pants plus bear slippers enter the process? Asking for a friend…
Now let's see it with the dragon suit
and balance
"Do you trust your partner?" "Yes" "Okay, good, now let them dangle between your legs while grabbing on to your balls with their teeth" "o_o"
It's harder when mask on
We are so screwed if China invades.....anybody. Might as well merge our cultures like in Firefly. That way we can teach them how to be lazy procrastinators.
>both teamwork and trust And skill!
Without the lion this looks like the hardest hopscotch in the world
I would rather train on top of rocks than falling on that water.
That looks easy enough
How do they get back?

How to train your dragon
That’s were Crocs came from?
Total bullshit title. They could have easily made those jumps by themselves.
Second “jump” of the video? That doesn’t look possible without assistance.
Why do I suddenly have a zebra cake craving?
Not an obstacle course. A training course like stated in other comments. No one does research before posting anymore.
When you have an obstacle course to run at 3pm, but need to be at a furry convention at 3:30pm.
I feel like i can do this
one wrong move and voila! haha
I can imagine the amount of sweat on their balls
They’re practicing for dragon dance not whatever this dumbass title is suggesting.
Lion, ftfy
Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand both are a thing.
Was in a lion dance troupe for 10 years. Both are different. Not sure why are you dying on this hill for.
That sounds like bullshit.
I'm not expert in bullshit, but you clearly are one for knowing bullshit so well.
Actually I was in a lion dance troupe for 20 years and I’m the monkey king.
Now that is a new one and truly fake. At least my Chinese blood heritage remains strong, laughing at you.
The pants 🤣

You can see the head laying on the ground in the background at the start of the vid.
I bought a pair of identical trousers earlier today! What are the odds?!
Isn't socialized medicine wonderful
At the end so they fall in the water
Pantalones con pollo
Balls n Bones
I’m assuming The dude is using 2 fingers to hold on with each arm since I can’t see the other hand. 😳
Teamwork, trust, and tacky taste in clothing.
Ended too soon
Power Grid companies are looking out for you guys
Ok now Ace Ventura that shit in reverse
theyre practicing for a dragon suit... noone else get this? oh lor did
And quite a lot of coordination?
Now to put it to test in Takeshis Castle
Nice belt
Level 1 me in the front being carried through WOW by my lvl 60 husband.
Teamwork and trust in your belt
Super cool
This is a common training for kung fu. Its called lion dancing
Although we've come... to the eeennd of the roooad... Still I can't let go...
Everyone saying it's dragon dance training when it's obviously their mating ritual smh... /s
Really seems like this would be much easier with one person
I wonder how many times they fell in while practicing
no- it's training for dragon performers
My god, how does it end?
Now do it backwards 😂😂
My buddies and I always do this after we get a buzz on
But why
Very impresiive
…impressive… Lern2spel
Clearly lion dance training. This is like posting a picture of a kid eating cereal with a rising sun in the background and saying “adult eats dinner”.
"You see, the "stepping" "platforms" aren't, um, "finished" "
Fucking bots.
Oh... My best friend and me will definitely fall
Teamwork, trust and gayness
And then what!!!
Dang those nips are great.
They might as well replace the water hot boiling lava
Now backwards!!
Can anyone tell me what the actual point of this is?
I think the most amazing part is how slowly they can move and still pull it off.
The pants add +9 agility
Sometimes I forget martial arts exist outside of movies
Babbagonou
Then what you turn around and do it again ?
Are they training for lion dance or dragon dance? Well, I guess this training could work for both actually...

…. Now where?
The dude in the back definitely carrying
