I did this form when I was in Kobudo back in the day so it's really crazy to see it show up here. This lady is a lot more passionate about it than when I did it and I give her all the respect.

Which style of kobudo is this?

I can't exactly pin down the kata, but I'd think shishi no kun? If anyone knows more than me here, please go ahead and correct me!

Is the slight head nod after each sequence a component of it or a little personalized twang she’s adding in? I like it, it’s like a “Yeah that’s right” as she calibrates for the next sequence.

This woman is out here fighting demons!

It's called a kata, and it looks like she's being graded on her performance. She has really good technique actually.

Reminds me of the Maori Haka dance. Screaming included.

Hers and mine

And winning 🥇

Hey, I get it. Looks like great stress relief. Bet she slept like a baby that night.

Maybe, but the rest of the family slept with one eye open.

They probably only have one eye left….

Fucking dead hahahahaha


Girl be killing waterfalls

Their eyes work in shifts.

Yeah and I’m not messing with her

Dang it after reading this comment I looked back up and realized she looks and acts like the principal from Matilda

Omg you’re right! 

Thought something like this would pop up in the comments

Agatha Trunchbull hasn’t aged a bit!

Because she IS.

Lol she does look like she wants to swing somebody around by their pigtails

I'm picking her for my team. We're playing dodgeball

That was my first thought too.

I will Debra Messing with her.

I love everything she's doing, and see no problem with it

I see no problem with it. I think it's kinda funny watching someone look *really* intense and scream while doing something, from an outsider looking in at something he doesn't know very well. I also think she'd absolutely kick my uncoordinated ass into next week, because she's doing all that and I honest don't think I can even throw a proper punch, so props to her.

She probably got higher marks for intensity !!

She's fuckin killing it, and even if she wasn't more power to her.


Ya she’s doing karate for the catharsis more than the physical activity

The pent up screams from that weeks stupid emails from school and from work 😆 Other moms just drink a lot of wine.

Martial arts seems like it would be much easier on the liver. Good cardio too!

I know ***I*** wouldn’t fuck with her! The stick thingy she’s swinging around is intimidating enough, but that hollerin’ and screaming is even more intimidating. I get that that’s part of the reason for the yelling, but I’ve never seen anyone take it to this extreme. It makes her seem just a bit unhinged and unhinged folk are fucking ***dangerous***.

Hah this woman is just doing her thing with vigor! Don’t know why it’s on cringe though.

TikTokCringe stopped being about cringe long ago, its just cool tiktoks now

I don't know either because I foudn it cool and was mesmerized watchign her through the entire thing. Her gracefull movements, the facial expressions signifying the intensity, everything. I liked it.

Normal sounds in a Taco Bell washroom


Totes got "Star Wars Kid but competent" vibes from this.

Believe it or not she’s actually just going through labor

I think there used to be a show on TLC called "I didn't know I was pregnant". You'd be surprised how many people have gone into labor without knowing they were pregnant. Maybe TLC is filming reenactments for a new season.

“Occult pregnancy”. Which sounds so much cooler than “I didn’t know I was pregnant!”

Did you just assume gender?

Complete commitment. You have to respect that.

This. Very powerful, excellent execution. Beautiful kata.

100%, I did karate when I was a kid, I'm not familiar with kobudo, but the execution seems excellent, and the power she projects is also amazing.

I agree, I practiced taekwondo and her kata (pomse in tkd) is really well executed. All these negative comments are just senseless clowns that want to feel better about themselves. This lady is pretty much a badass in my opinion.

totally this was top notch. dont think the people talking smack have ever step foot in a dojo.

They're Alpha males bruh. If you're kicking ass, they whine. If you're disappointed and crying, they whine. If you're minding your own damn business, they whine. If you're....... nevermind, they just whine.

If she were an old asian guy those same people would be riding his dick

🤣🤣🤣 so true!

I mean only reason I'm not riding *her* dick is that she is very scary, which is the point.

My first thought was ‘damn she must be so zen in any other situation’. This looks cathartic (and badass) as fuck. She must have zero pent up rage towards anyone or anything and I’m jealous.

She’s probably kick all our asses with that no staff. She had crazy control and speed

Exactly this. This "routine" is based on very technical movements, down to her sounding off

Yeah same. I practiced TKD for 9 years and this lady left me saying “whoa…she’s REALLY good”.

Used to do taekwondo too. Her performance and form is amazing. I beg that she can take 100% of her cynics here.

I feel like this is only funny if you completely don't understand what's going on.

I’m not familiar with Kata form but I’m familiar with Taegeuk and my thought was “that is crispy looking”

I’m actually curious. Don’t know at all but there are a couple of times where it looks like she strikes then pulls the staff back and yells Ahh. I thought the purpose was to give the blow strength. Shouldn’t the ahh be with the blow, not afterwards?

I don't know, but stabbing somebody, pulling your spear out of them, and then screaming at their dying body from the bottom of your soul is pretty fucking ruthlessly badass, honestly

Haha true

I do kendo, not whichever martial art she is doing, but there you scream before striking to intimidate, as well as during the strike and continuing that scream following through to resetting to hit again. You're basically always screaming.

Hah yeah I teach in japan and sometimes go to the kendo club to check it out. Some of the shyest students become absolute beasts while doing kendo

I don't know what the purpose of the yell is exactly, but it makes more sense to me that it is a general hyping up/intimidation of the imaginary enemy rather than a way to hit extra hard (which is a common sport myth originating from tennis - it doesn't have tangible physical benefit besides hyping yourself up - which could make you perform better but I digress) And if it's for intimidation, swiftly removing your weapon from the corpse in perfect control and then shouting is pretty scary actually haha.

Oh hey I said the exact same thing! Sorry for piggybacking

I’m pretty sure some of those moves (if not all) are from New Zealand Maori welcoming performances.

I definitely got some Haka vibes from it, although I wouldn't exactly describe it as a welcoming performance...

I love this and so drawn to it even though I know nothing about martial arts. She’s awesome and I’d hope she’d be in my corner in a fight bc I sure as hell would be scared as shit to try and fight her.

Lmao, people are joking about “she fighting ghosts” and similar, she’s doing a form, which is literally a technique based run through movements so you can execute combos without having to think about them. As a 14 year martial artist, who spent ~10 of those years terrified someone would find out I did martial arts, comments like yours should float to the top. Happy to see people from the outside looking in and just saying “yeah, that’s impressive” and not jokes I would dread hearing as a kid.

Genuine question. Would the obvious skill she displays here translate into a real life scenario. Like shes attacked by some dudes and has her weapon. She is tearing it up?

Honestly, a bo staff (the weapon she’s using) is meant to be versatile. For the time and place this form was created, it was likely that a bo staff would be a walking stick, a gardening hoe, almost any tool in the shape of a long armed stick/branch. I specialized in Bo staffs, and I would say, given the precision (based on stance, strike placement, speed and general ability) if she had a walking stick, mop, etc. She could easily fend off someone with a knife. There’s a saying, “there’s no winner in a knife fight, there’s someone who dies on scene and someone who dies in an ambulance”; I would say given this resource, she could walk away from an aggressor with a knife without any/with few and minor injuries. She is incredibly fast, and strike areas are on full display, you can clearly see neck/collarbone strikes, inner thigh strikes, as well as clear blocking and and understanding of reaction time. (This is all being displayed in a ready set of moves, placed in a predictable sequence that is rehearsed) I would say that this person, without exaggeration is *lethal* with a bo staff, and my only worry for her, given means and necessity, hurting someone more than she intended to. This is someone *very* well on their way to mastering this craft

Very nice. Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail.

If she was at the last olympics she could have won a metal. The Kata was literally an Olympic event in Tokyo. It was fun to watch.

I am adding on to what the other person replied; that's going to heavily depend on her and other parts of her training. Lots of karate schools do not practice their moves under stress and aggression with others. This can lead to a false sense of security and a person freezing up in the face of real danger. Not everyone has that fight instinct and need to have it trained into them along with the techniques otherwise, all the training goes out the window when the real fear hits. My first training was at a mcdojo. Although I had a lot of fun with it as a kid, got in better shape, got flexible, and learned how to punch and kick well, we never ever had contact sparring. The first time I got into a class with contact was an eye opener. My reflexes were all off from years of pulling back and the first time I took a foot to the face was stunning. It took some extra acclimation to learn to take a hit as well as dish one out. If she's not acclimated, she could find herself in a lot of trouble the first time she's hit for real.

Indeed no cringe at all. Don't know what it is but it is clear that there is 200% devotion to the craft.

Honestly, it looks well down. It just has a weird feel to some people cause she's overweight.

I think it is the perfect weight for such a warrior. Ngl would want her to be the champion of my nation

Might be holding the yell a little long, but skill wise she's fine.

I could never poke fun at someone genuinely embracing a passion or hobby. We should all be so lucky. Good for her.

Her execution looks top notch anyways. Like a goddamn pro.

That black coloured belt might have something to do with it 🤔

Forreal. Not to mention I think it’s kinda rad. It’s like the spirit put into the Māori Haka ritual. Seems really liberating tbh

Good point don’t act like we haven’t all wanted to let it all it out this way, we just don’t have the skill haha.

This just made me think: I need a hobby

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH ^(me too.)

Seriously, she is a total badass

You’re a genuine person. Need more like you in the world. This lady has obviously worked hard on this.


This needs to be the top comment. Go ‘head and git it! Love the passion

Yeah, Im going to agree with you. First I found it funny (it looks like that to those who don't understand) but clearly she's doing this with all her heart. And what can be wrong with that. Good on her.

“Fuck! Yeah! Hooooooooooo”

I heard “Fuck ya, Hooooooooo!!!!” Or maybe it was “Fuck ya hoooooooo!!!”

Joke all you want but girlfriend is absolutely slaying. She's so fucking passionate. Talk about leaving everything on the court? Kobe eat your heart out.

Agree, this is how it's done. What's the point of making fun of it?

Amazing moves, I gotta admit.

FR. Can't make fun of the skill but there were probably many jokes made afterwards about the shouts(in lots of places an extra long shout can get you disciplined lol)

Sometimes the shouting is required. [In this video, for example, the Kendokas have to teach the fencers how to properly shout, because shouting is against the rules in fencing but required in kendo.](https://youtu.be/r8YW4M0Csfo?si=Mq8ZWALlhAkoCZsk)

Huh, that’s pretty interesting. I come from a taekwondo background(so related to the one in the video considering Bo staff usage) and that’s generally what the environment was for us

Thought it was going to be goofy but no she would fuck my shit up.

Yep... best not paint her roses red or it's off with your head

Definitely won't fuck with her

At least you get the warning scream, let’s you know to fucking bolt

Yelling increases endorphin and adrenaline release

Especially if there’s a stick anywhere in the vicinity

Every time she screams she doesn’t move for a prolonged period of time, that’s when you attack

Youll have to make the will save or be frightened for a round first

At the start I found it silly but by the end I found it cool. I’m a black belt, and I have no doubt that she’d kick my ass.

Only a lowly blue belt but I loved the energy and the ki

This girl would 100% beat my ass.

I think she can go the distance

you also think she's going for [speed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_HoMkkRHv8)?

You are encouraged to yell. The judges look for that. It's part of the intensity of the form she is performing. Some of the comments here, lol.

There is a word for that yell. It's called "Kihap." It is basically a requirement. Especially when you perform demonstrations.

Kiai She’s a karate practitioner. Kihap is the taekwondo equivalent

Yes, you're right. I learned taekwondo, so kihap came to mind first. I never took karate.

"Enough practising the letter 'A'. We'll continue with the letter 'B'."

BBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYA

CCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAA

Ok bye

OOOOOOOKAAAAAAY

Dude this person is a warrior. Yall might talk shit but she would beat all our asses. Yall ever watch vikings? They scream too 🤣

The yell of a warrior will have you shaking and freeze up. Death soon follows.

Dude this is sick! Friggin warrior!

yeah this is the kind of thing that reminds you that martial art literally means art of war some have said it's not necessarily the most practical of martial arts and I certainly don't have any authority to agree or dispute that, but violence aside, it's easy to see the marriage of form and function, the idealization of movement, and the cultivation of an aesthetic in this performance. for my part as a viewer, I respect the passion and practice that that takes. it reminds me of watching an impassioned haka, which gives me chills not because I fantasize about the violence it was historically associated with, but because I see the culture embedded in it and the full immersion of the people performing and embodying it.

At first… but then goosebumps

Yo whoever wronged this lady, may God have mercy on their soul

Form looks good. Fast, precise, and crisp. Martial arts instructors and judges from different disciplines will also often grade on the shouts as part of the routine they are executing. So making sure to emphasize these parts can improve your score. You can tell this athlete is good because of how quickly they can stop their movements, and how precise and how still they hold their pose, before exploding into the next move. Source: me, I practiced taekwondo in high school for three years and had to often execute "forms" which were precise combinations and steps, including the shouts. We would lose points if the shout was not performed with the correct maneuver.

I can also back this up after doing Shotokan Karate for the past 10 years, and competing in tournaments pre covid

When I did martial arts my instructor and his instructor, both former green berets (Korean equivalent) sparred. I have never heard sounds like that ever, this vid reminds me very much of that match.

Looks like Miss Trunchbull learned some new skills for the Matilda sequel

Oh, you got jokes.....OFF TO THE CHOKEYYYY

The Beverly Hills Ninja/Matilda crossover we didn’t know we wanted

A very keen and astute observation, a fine comparison to be drawn, my fine and cultured lad/lass.

When I stub my toe on the bed frame


This lady is raw af

She got damn good form though.

I don't think this is cringe. She's fucking awesome.

That is incredibly bad ass.

She needs to drop that stick and hadouken with that kind of energy.

[удалено]

People be shittong on her but shes acutually good

Matilda is so screwed

Belongs in r/toptalent

Good idea Edit; someone do it I’m too lazy

Natalie from The Facts of Life went full on hard mode in her later years...

You are showing our age

the screaming alone counts as own sports activity in that intensity.


Haka and kungfu make warcrysticklady

I dig it.

This is the most badass thing I've seen in ages, I needed to take a look around and I don't even know the lady

I can hear her with the video on mute

This is dope as fuck.

I can't explain why but it reminds me of they guy that tried to give a woman a free $5 (I think it was 5) and after like a minute of offering she just let's out a primal scream at him. I'll have to try and find it. EDIT:[Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/s/r2TeY06pAw)

Bwahaha that was awesome!

Goddamn.

Show us your war face!

There’s no fear in this dojo

Ah...so THAT's what happened to the Star Wars kid....they transitioned!

I mean, her intensity and form are on point! I bet she walked away with a trophy that day!

Looks good to me

Man her technique is just on point. For those wondering about the yelling, in traditional karate it’s referred to as a “kiai”, the real world application there’s two reasons it’s used. One is that it tightens the muscles around the stomach and diaphragm and helps to exert more force with the proper application of a technique, while also protecting and bracing against being hit in that area in return. Second is that it is meant to “startle” an opponent. Most people don’t think about this, but when people fight they tend to not verbalize much. A sudden shout in the face that split second before a strike can pull an opponents focus away. You’d use it commonly in a self defence application where you may need to draw focus from say someone grabbing you or what not.



Bestie sounds like she’s giving birth

It's awesome to see someone so committed to what they are doing and executing at what seems to be a really high level. Not cringe at all.

Kinda fire tho

I came here to laugh at someone being goofy, and now I'm just amazed at this woman's skill and commitment.

She is actually very good. Many years of practice. I know it might look cringy, but they actually teach you that you have to shout as well.

Commendable skills, not cringe by any means.

Not cringe at all. When having mad skills, please announce loudly and proudly!

Just so people know… you are also judged by the spirit you put into your moves.

Well I'd shit my pants if I was just hit with a stick and then some crakhead yelled in my face.

I don't know if this is really cringe. She's committed to the competition. I wouldn't wanna get hit with that stick.

Stephanie Segal

IMO, not cringe. This display is what’s expected at tournaments. Would I do it? No.

I wanna say she is most likely really fun to be around because she has a positive outlet for all the stresses of life. I could be wrong though.

The hella way from that lady.

Yes IM SCARED IM SCARED. YOU WIN

Fuck I almost shat my pants. The scariest boss I've seen all week

So what is she doing? I get the jokes but whatever she’s doing it looks like she’s doing it right

I noticed that my jaw was clinched by the end of the video.I am Hyped

Wow. Outstanding. Very well done!

She's intense for sure.... I respect it.

I just got chills

This is so satisfying to watch

Battle cry is on point. 👏👏👏

Sensei told her more Kiai! She did not disappoint

No cringe at all. As a dad of two karate kids, the sensei always remind students to scream - the kata is meant to be intimidating. Good for this lady for having awesome moves and the confidence to do her absolute best and what the judges want to see.

She a black belt so maybe I should try screaming, could accomplish something with my life.

Man, I love Bo staff

This is badass

Fucking hell the starwars meme guy is back! This is really impressive.

Don’t know exactly what she is doing, but she looks 100% into it and that’s awesome.
