30all I must agree. Sharp looking troops, and well disciplined, but to much flash for a solemn occasion.

[@keepower]

It’s purely because the soldiers didn’t have adequate skills to master the drill procedure to make it solemn. Most of these soldiers were conscripts, their service term was less than 12 months, and they spent no more than 9 months within their honour guards unit. They barely learned the basics before they were discharged.

Unfortunately, there are always some ignorant fools among us speak without first do some inquiries says the guard changing displayed "too much showmanship." Pardon me, fool, for every moves and every steps, every gestures has a reason and meaning behind it. Allow me farther add, anyone who goes to watch changing guard ceremony shouldn't walking around near the procession or talking loudly. Have some decency, show some respect, would you?

These guys are really good. Then again though, honor guards are always the gold standard. In my opinion, the Tomb Guards in the US are still the best. It's absolutely pristine in every way, they do it in every weather and situation, they won't show pain to any degree and are avowed to uphold the standard for the rest of their life. Their movements are simple but robotic. Just my two cents. I think these guys use way too much movement, but they're pristine nonetheless.
