We honestly have no idea what to say about this weird martial arts demo

[Permalink]

It’s martial arts because they’re Asian, I assume?

It’s a dance move. Here’s a three-person American version from the '40s:

I think it’s in some way related to the Human Centipede.

I saw this on CdS (Dralion?) about ten years ago, and learned to do it with a friend. It was fine until I tried to teach someone else - he tripped up and sat on my head. It’s not difficult, but most of your own safety depends on whether the other person knows what they’re doing. The trick is to keep your body straight and just bend at the knees, but if you don’t trust the other person, you arch your back and they can’t stand up. If you’re not used to where your legs should be, you don’t bend at the waist and don’t touch the floor in time.

Interestingly enough, you don’t necessarily have to be the same height - in Dralion there was probably a difference of almost 2 feet, if I remember correctly.

Weird? Naah. Previously:

The dance move is called “The Infinite Wedgie” by experts.

The very cutting edge in homoeroticism.

Glad to see this was the very first response!

Reminds me of this:

Ho-wahhhh! I love it.

I’m having a hard time seeing the martial application of sticking your head up your twin brother’s butt.

Hey, you see someone do that, you know that is not a person you want to mess with.

I don’t think that’s a martial arts demo. It looks like pretty ordinary high school hijinks to me.

So I’m not the only one who misread the title as “marital arts”?
