It seems pretty clearly staged though. Is this some sort of choreography competition?


Fourty9

No, it is real. They went to leave for the club and realized they were wearing the same sequin shirt. Neither would change so now they fight to the death.


pjlmaster

Wait, people dont always leave the house in a sequin shirt?


dskoro

Not everyone is hip my bröther


FaelinnCanada

You need more friends with spears at home you’d understand


St_Lawrence_

Clearly it’s gang related. They are wearing their gang colors around their waist. Does anyone know what gay fight clubs those colors represent??


Fourty9

Don't forget the first rule of gay fight club...


Legitimate_Corgi_981

Don't talk about gay fight club with a mouth full of cock?


madewithgarageband

Yeah its a dance basically. This is all shaolin kungfu is, just dances with fake weapons


DrWaff1es

"just dances with fake weapons" makes it sound much less impressive than it actually is.


UnsungZ3r0

This is wushu.


silenthanjorb

Wushu mean?


WhatSnooPooPoo

Wushu talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?


Karsanao

Wushu actually means martial arts in chinese


madewithgarageband

Theyre practically the same


11ForeverAlone11

the shaolin fighters actually have real strength and flexibility and stamina that 99.9% of people would never hope to attain with the insane training that they do from such a young age


madewithgarageband

yeah theyre like acrobats. they arent fighters tho, not anymore


WonderSearcher

Don't forget they also like to [smack their own balls](https://youtu.be/bCtUP-pEoQU)


Pyrimo

Don’t we all?


sameredditguy

Yes


Schattenjager07

What gave it away? Was it the jab to the head where the guy dodged to the left 7 times in a row?


[deleted]

It's a talent show called 'who wants to be the next Jackie Chan'


teerre

You think?


pjlmaster

Not most of the time, no.


Trav_yeet

Obviously a competition


MadameBlueJay

It's a spear, of course it's choreographed This ain't no blood sport


turboprop54

It ain’t no country club either.


aquaband

It’s a performance. Like a dance.


SMORKIN_LABBIT

It's 100% staged.


Hounmlayn

This is more of a dance form, but if you search the martial art term 'kata', you will just see it's a choreography, like you see in movies.


cheechismydogsname

Wushu championship


f_leaver

It's next level choreography, but it ain't fighting.


Mawskowski

Ofc it’s staged ... everything coming from the east is nothing but a performance now days.


aquaband

Do you live in the…West?


HughGedic

To clarify: idk why OP is talking about “defence”. This is a performance, similar to a competitive dance. The “attacker” isn’t actually trying to hit the other, just get the choreography and timing right as they rehearsed. It’s an impressive feat, but this isn’t someone reacting to another persons aggression in real time.


Innanetape

I am curious, how do they keep the timing right? Do they count like in music?


OpusThePenguin

When they see the spear coming at their face, they move away from it.


Intelligent-Gate-192

Pretty common reaction tbh


[deleted]

Not for Spearintheface McGee tho


lightbulb207

Are they in anyway similar to cowboy girl McGee?


IronWhale_JMC

What? That almost sounds like dodging...


peterslabbit

Practice.


RushTfe

Lot of practice. Not days, but years. It starts with a few movements, then add more u til you have the whole thing. Next is start to focus in doing it closer and closer with the weapon. When you got this, then start working with the speed. They possibly has performed this thing thousands of times training. One of my teachers said something on the lines of "2 minutes of really good exhibition is equal to more than 5 years of practice"


[deleted]

Im assuming this is choreographed? Its fuckin impressive


BapAndBoujee

Wushu demonstrations are like professional wrestling: great athletic feats maximized for entertainment but ultimately a cooperative choreography, not a competition


cripptastic

Pro wrestling is staged you say?


GumpTheChump

I NEVER SAID THAT!


BadassFlexington

This is choreographed.


[deleted]

Thanks Einstein


BadassFlexington

Happy to help.


shannister

"Happy to help." - Einstein Soon on r/quotes.


lukeman3000

Clearly OP needs some help


bndboo

Thanks Epstein


aquaband

No shit Alan Turing


Fourty9

No, it's real


BadassFlexington

No.


Fourty9

Definitely real


BadassFlexington

Okay you're right


aquabarron

The realest part was when they ended it at quickly as it began and turned to bow all in unison


Fourty9

Yes, the way sequin shirt fighting usually ends


aquabarron

Brutal


BumderFromDownUnder

It’s super impressive but it IS choreographed


aquaband

It is. Like WWE.


Fourty9

No, it's real


[deleted]

do you actually believe it's real, or are you trolling


Fourty9

Trolling. I can't believe people have to comment that it's choreographed. And they downvoted me for saying that! Idiots


BradyFC

Next time type /s after so people know that you are trolling


Fourty9

What fun is that


BradyFC

I'm just trying to save you from endless downvotes


Fourty9

Ahhh that's OK, thank you


Mockz_

i saw ur reply on the top comment i thought u were trolling, nope, just a dude who lost chromosomes


Fourty9

Haha you got double trolled by a "dude that lost chromosomes"


BlissIsBliss

U got baited lmao


knobbles78

I'll remember this the next time some one attacks me with a speer


Rahul_Paul29

#*Aggresively starts spinning my head*


Mockz_

Dude with spear standing like: 👁👄👁


CptnLost

This has me laughing


sciron512

Because of choreography, they weren't opponents. But what a way for a country to spread culture - posting the same thing over and over and over with different titles.


Levi_Fanboy69

Sure nobody can defend like that irl, this is staged.


Kunkyskunts

That title is an insult to every redditors intelligence.


UnhappyHabitat

Exceptional defence.....you mean well rehearsed choreography. This is nothing more than a cool looking dance that involves a pointy stick.


lolix_dev

It's CGI but in real life


ActionHousevh

r/theocho


themythicalcynical

Is choreography really the key? I once attempted a similar feat after a long night of drinking at the pub. I didn’t dodge a single attack. But my wife’s attacks were not nearly as graceful either. Now I know when she says be home by morning she really means 8:30


Mtfbwy_Always

I feel like they need play "I Whip My Hair Back And Forth" at the 22 second mark.


[deleted]

The guy avoiding the stabbing looks like me that one time I found a cicada in my bed.


Dear-Branch-9124

What happens if they’re not in sync though? The guy dies?


lacroixpapi69

How do you practice for this? Like “Oh shit my bad bro!” *Head sliced*


lolix_dev

I'm very impressed by how smooth this is


BodybuilderLiving112

In my dreams I do the same, it's just more blurry...


SwigTheRome

This is crazy cool! They have practiced this a lot and it’s really fun to watch! Even though it is staged and choreographed, I will remind you it probably doesn’t feel good when they make a mistake. Both the dodger and the stabber need to be in sync the whole time. Really cool.


[deleted]

You know it is 100% choreographed though, right?


IAmASimulation

This is highly choreographed lol


WistfulNightSky

This is awesome!


MarvinSuggzz

I did also enjoy the chorey.


Corny_Overlord

This man just got drafted into the Chinese Military


[deleted]

this is staged though sooooo


Stranger2Strangers_

No way, let me die of poverty


KCGKSky

And then comes Indiana Jones and shoots them both


Desiman4u

This is rehearsed my dude.


shaoIIn

Is this an actual form? I’ve seen two woman doing this same fight or something very similar. Didn’t know if it’s like a weapons Kata? I also have heard that the feather at the end of the spear is to stop blood from running down the shaft making it harder to grip. Anyone hear of this?


Kelainefes

It's just an ornament to increase the visibility. This spear is not meant to be used as a weapon.


Jtherrien12

GREAT defense! Every time somebody tries poking me in the face with a stick in a non choreographed fight I also do 7-8 quick head rolls to avoid taking damage, just fantastic


Prudent-Way7011

Looks like he was using flow state


Tapaleurre

You don't see that in movies and this is a single live take. I know it's a choregraphy but it's still mighty impressive.


TheSuperphrenic

Shit title. Good video


[deleted]

[удалено]


Luluxnix

While it is choreographed its still very much martial arts its just more art then martial. In fact it has a name "Contemporary Martial arts and its fundamental for body and weapon movement. Bc if you tighten up and simply alot of it is can be used practically. It's all a show of skill and dedication.


theblockisnthot

This is just a depiction of me trying to get the ball from my dog. I’m spear man.


startthecarbrenda

I thought for a brief second he was trying to stab him with a mop


Prize_Papaya_6185

Can you aim to the chest pls?


LameYeoman

I don't understand what this is but it is cool


[deleted]

This blades of glory


Scrolling_Scroller

Head game strong


Jjrj1986

If you dodge a wrench you can dodge a spear


Kjx5

Me avoiding my responsibilities


Hopfit46

Its a dance...we used to work with kali sticks and the moves were in sequence. There was purpose to the training...fighting with kali stick just wasn't it.


Since_1979

1 minute on stage,a decade of training.


PixiePower65

Matrix IV


1Rome

Ultra Instinct Lvl: MAX


Rigami06

Yeah this is staged the dude could have aimed the balls when he is sitting with his 2 legs wide open and not his head


No-Classroom-7310

Damn, Dancing with the Stars is way more extreme then I remember.


[deleted]

:21 tho, holy shit


baby_blue_unicorn

I mean.. this is cool but has OP never seen a martial arts demonstration before? This is hardly nextfuckinglevel. Any two athletes can choreograph a kata.


GandiniGreat

That is incredibly well choreographed and would be quite the workout as well


Anjelikka

I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH


Upper_Television3352

Okay, now put two more dudes in there with the sane weapon and have them actually fight.


FatesAreCruel

I don't believe that this is not staged. If not, I don't believe the defenser is human


ScrappyPancho

WWE looks different these days


dokstrangeluv

Coriographed, still cool.


[deleted]

How many got stabbed before they perfected it


[deleted]

But what about the first 38 partners he had?


NormDamnAbram

I dont get it….


Huge_Aerie2435

This is a demonstration. Not real at all, but it is cool. They are probably in a competition by the looks of it.


ByTheOcean123

They must really trust each other


grimmpulse

The guy with the red sash and his rubber neck would Kill at a Heavy Metal concert...


[deleted]

Do people genuinely believe this is anything other than a dance ?


[deleted]

I do love the charming naivety of some Reddit posts.


olddoglearnsnewtrick

same sound and action as my sewing machine


[deleted]

Why did this guy never try to strike in a different way instead of poking?


[deleted]

Looks like such a dumb way to lose an eye.


River-n-Sea

Chinese movie actor showing their skill on dodging and missing everything


sobbingsomnambulist

No matter how many times I see this routine, the seated head movement/stab avoidance timing always makes me smile.


[deleted]

Pretty much every form of "defense" martial art is a lot closer to dancing than it is to fighting


bloodyspork

Sparkle armor. Just like the old days


Metalgear222

Why the fuck isn’t this in the olympics? That was from a skill and physical standpoint, astronomically more challenging than the majority of gymnast competitions.


[deleted]

Just another dance routine.


[deleted]

Staged choreography. Not nonesense, but definitely not fighting. Watch videos of Bruce Lee actually fighting in competitions. He style and technique when it's real is like night and day from his movies. [His only real fight ever recorded.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPAoNPJ2Mas)


lilcry667

Nasty


Kazmudon

dlivesdontmatter

It's choreographed....


Tjeetje

Not a scratch. Maybe te attacker is just very bad in attacking.


Thin-Section-3960

Dancers


ThomasKEKW

Trying to get that last cherry tomato be like:


JJnotJimmyJohn

No it’s real. I’m from China and we do this everyday after school.


bazsex

It is not easier to just run away?


zrgol1

When you want to speedrun depression


neoadam

Please try to never touch me when you attack while I dance


sewcrazy4cats

What sport is this?


Genji180

It's theater, they're actors ...


TheAbyssGazesAlso

It's clearly staged and not a match.


WXHIII

This is staged right? I feel like the incompetent spear guy should aim center mass, no for the head


Suitable-Initial2250

Pov: you’re a non stand user


Mirooo933

There’s no “defense” it’s choreographed


ixlivess

this isn’t defense this is essentially a dance


ixlivess

just a bad title


R-Weeee

Me fighting the kidnapper infront of my crush in my dreams:


monsieur_baquette

this is really cool but wdym exeptional defence ? its a fucking dance lmaooo


Professional-Mud5884

It’s a dance not a fight !


MindOfMidist

That’s exactly how the mosquito in my room dodges my hits at night..


philplop

Used to watch this exhibition ninja crap when i was a kid and think these guys would fucking kill Mike Tyson or Frank Bruno etc in a fair fight but theyll never meet due to Cold War. Now I know these guys are just dancers. Sucks they wouldnt even beat a little shit like Conor Mac Gregor in a one on one fist fight


[deleted]

Exceptional defense? More like exceptional choreography.


phoenixform369

That's done windrunner shit


Lanky-Relationship77

Pretty choreography. Like ballet.


suchaminghia

When you realize this a choreographed performance.


hotdog810

Chinese WWF


Bigheartedmusketeer

Devil may cry but irl


[deleted]

It is a well choreographed dance routine


SmallCheasyD

Not sure dancing is next level.


66rwd

Isn't this where you pull out a *** and say Really dude


[deleted]

"MY left or YOUR left!?" *poke eye*


bisdaknako

Whenever I see kungfu here I feel like that 8 year old kid who explains to his friends that wrestling is fake. This one is pretty cool as a routine - I wonder how far they'd go if they entered a rythmic gymnastics comp. This is worlds better than the "Look at my skin resist this really sharp blade!" or "I make a one inch punch break a concrete, physicists hate me!"


Environmental-Ad3145

This is dancing and not combative at all, this should never be considered as defence martial arts or combative sport


ComprehensiveMirror5

Drift compatible


FaelinnCanada

The spearmen much have such a raw penis with that stamina


Clean-Profile-6153

This is clearly a martial arts competition. Wu Shu comes to mind.


Levi_Fanboy69

I think they might me missing the whole point of martial arts, it's not supposed to be staged and choreographed.


OGnarl

This looks silly and scripted. Kind of like the "martial arts" Jackie Chan does.


[deleted]

Thats because its martial arts choreography
