[@jetfire851]

This should be mandatory viewing for all martial arts practitioners. (I've had to stop myself from shouting "boot to the head!" while sparring.)

[@reagame8700]

I just think it to myself when I spar with others. I still call my gi my pajamas!

I can't believe they did it!!! 😆😆😆 I have LOVED this since the 80s!! And that Slo-Mo fight scene was EPIC! 🤲👏🤘 I give it 5 Boots!: 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾

OUCH!!! that hurrts.

To the head?

[@tejaswoman]

I give it 4½ 👢 bc they didn't finish with the song

I can't remember the last time I witnessed Chariots of Fire being used for comedic effect.

[@DanFoxDavies]

London Olympics, 2012 opening ceremony, Rowan Atkinson

[@petermgruhn]

Probably on the Muppets.

[@DadInTaiwan]

I've been listening to this routine for decades. This live action skit was very entertaining; the Chariots of Fire final fight is a great addition. Well done!

[@KalElvis]

Loved the addition of the ending fight. Brilliant.

[@rlopez8630]

I have been a big fan of the original for DECADES. I'm so glad I came across this because it is better than I could've imagined! Thanks for making it!

[@senseiscash]

Hey thanks!

[@CaitlinGateaux]

That is some excellently done comically fake stage fighting, and I have seen my fair share from Ren Faire and Regional Theatre folks.

[@ellencrates3977]

My mentor sent this to me this morning. I was wondering how they knew what i was thinking all morning...;)

[@SuntopKinseeker]

+the man of a thousandp Faces They know as your mentor read your mind. Because he knows the way of Tae Kwon Leep!

[@lisalaporte5319]

Your mentor can hear your thoughts. That’s a good thing 😊

[@countolaf1920]

That was our saying when I was in Jr high. Boot to the head!!! When someone would say or do anything stupid, it was hilarious!!! I had forgotten about this

[@melijay22]

Awesome!! 😁😍 One of my fav skits, excellent performance!! 🙏🏼 Aum

[@GaryHurd]

This was a great preformance. Bravo!

[@KillerOrca]

Oh man, I remember this...I found this on a radio channel when I was on vacation in Canada!

[@9CirnotheGenius9]

4:53 When in Ti Kwan Leap do I learn the move "b*tch slap"?

[@kuroineko256]

Idk

[@kuroineko256]

But it's funny 😆😆😆😆

[@DanFoxDavies]

Once you have grasped Tae Kwon Leap properly, you will come to realise that all you need is this: Boot to the head. *boots you in the head*

[@jonathanwessner3456]

it depends on when you master the Stooge Eye poke. Master that, then you will be ready to learn the Beotch slap. Remember, the "tree splitter" (kick to the groin) is learned near the end of your studies.

[@BennyLlama39]

@@jonathanwessner3456 That was the *first* thing I learned. : )

[@senseiscash]

@OROgoldenpair1 We always have a blast performing this skit... thanks again!

[@GaryHurd]

My favorite version. The classic moves are from the Three Stooges movies in the 1950s and '60s.

[@jonathanwessner3456]

i think the slo-mo fight is the best part of this, and adds soo much to it

[@vickinewby408]

I heard this on the Dr. DEMENTO show on the radio in the 90's.

[@JESTERFISH1]

I give this six out of five boots to the heads

[@derp-construction3341]

This was awesomtacular! I love the skit, and it was great to see this performance of it.

[@senseiscash]

Thanks

[@willegan1823]

The only problem I have with the action sequence at the end is that the master didn't attempt any more boots to the head himself, merely dodging students' boots to the head so they would boot their fellow students in the head instead.

[@BennyLlama39]

Maybe in-universe, he wanted to get his point across by physically trashing the students instead of relying solely on the Boot to the Head. But the (possible) real explanation is, dusting four guys in a few seconds lacks the impact of nut shots and 3 Stooges eye gouges. 😀

[@DarthTwilight]

The slo-mo fight is just utterly hilarious.

[@shadodragonette]

I have had a very few lessons of Tai Kwan Do, just barely enough to know how careful these people are being. And also a tiny clue how much time they spent perfecting this. I can remember quite well how hard it can be to almost punch a wall, but stop just before actually hitting it, over and over and over... It looks easy until you have to do it yourself. I don't remember why I was supposed to almost punch the wall, that was more than 30 years ago. I DO remember the respect I learned for martial arts. Not just one kind, all of them. Even this spoof took more time, effort, and skill than most people realize.

[@Sembazuru]

I didn't have the punching (but not contacting) the wall in my Uechi Ryu training, but I imagine it was an exercise on control so you know how to pull a punch if you decide that is warranted last second. Nothing worse than overcommitting to a strike and your opponent is able to take advantage of the momentary loss of control.

[@brianhirt5027]

Yeah, there is something worse. When someone does a weird movement in a social setting that accidentally triggers your muscle memory. Like, say nonspecifically for example when a drunk asshat shaking your hand too hard because he feels impossibly outclassed & jealous of you when someone behind him calls him by name. Then as he turns while still doing the powers shake your muscle memory thinks he's going for a throw so you put him ass over tea kettle right over the bar breaking a thick pained mirror & thousands of dollars of booze in the process. All before your sometimes thinking brain has a chance to gage the situation & lock the impulse down. Yknow. Nonspecifically. Hypothetically.

[@GhilleSasanach]

Excellent! Retired cop here...sent it to all my former co workers! Question...how do you manage to not have the bits of clothing move with natural gravity...or was I just enjoying it too much to notice??

[@deadlyraver4454]

this was plain awesome to see.

[@j4yma1ette]

Phenomenal! Love the twist at the end! My friend and I did something very similar to this when we were in high school with our own video camera in my basement. Yours came out much better for sure.

[@riverdaleswhiteflash]

They're 3/4 of the way there. Nutshots. Enough said.

[@serge263]

I wonder what the name of the master is. Is he Mr. Muldoon before he died?

[@Grogfury777]

It was a regular skit on Doctor Demento in the 80’s.

[@brianhirt5027]

It predated both. It first appeared in the late 70s.

[@OROgoldenpair1]

THIS WAS STILL FUNNY!!! although if u had performed this version first, before the actual first one u did, this one would've probably gotten more laughs, i dont know. I think the slow-mo music blocked out the crowds laughter?? i wanted to hear it :P great job
