In 1973 I had a set of store bought "water shoes" and walked on Bald Eagle Lake in Minnesota 🙂 They looked like two pontoons with flaps under to make forward progress easier. They really worked. You couldn´t run on water, it was slow going BUT they worked.

[@LS09God]

Thanks. I miss these goofballs.

[@neon_Nomad]

Adam still has a youtube channel

[@LS09God]

You mean Tested? Yeah I know, awesome channel. But it's the five of them together and the format. You don't see that on tv anymore.

[@neon_Nomad]

@@LS09God tv is dead thats why

[@jillcarr-hilton7308]

Every time I watch these videos I am so sad Grant is gone.

[@borntoclimb7116]

[@JH-fk8ow]

ninjas😂 the bullshido is strong with this ninja school, the teacher had no clue what to do when he was demonstrating to adam😂 that was pure comedy

[@mockupguy3577]

Certainly. Could not find him when googling either, so not too credible.

[@d4slaimless]

Certainly among one of the most hilarious episodes. Adam and his ninja shoes.

That takedown 😂

[@gooneygoons8068]

i like how jamie always make adam happy when some things doesn't work out 🤣🤣

[@herrstachelbeere4179]

I just love adam, he is such a vibe

[@dkprotek]

#SilentWalrus @12:35 is priceless hilarity

[@darreno9874]

The arrow catch is not done with a stationary hand, so the busted is a bit premature

[@alfawhiz]

Can you make a piece of wood to stand on and float on water? Well yes, it's called a boat.

[@borntoclimb7116]

Interesting myth about Ninjas. In the Show ripleys believe it or not, there was a guy who catch a arrow with the hands.

[@espenstoro]

Thanks for the upload. Now I wanna play with that blue goo, it's oddly satisfying.

[@Phantomsbreath]

So most professional swordsmen would call catching the blade techniques "Suicide techniques" on purpose. There's an art to it, and grabbing your opponent's sword was only generally done in a grapple.

[@djdeemz7651]

...but if someone is grabbing an arrow mid air its not from 2 ft away thrh would have more time due to distance and the arrow slowing slightly

[@kamalalsb7292]

See I think the grabbing the arrow thing IS possible, but their environment almost isn't random enough? Like take into account distance, wind, angle, all that sorta thing. My suspicion would be that catching arrows isn't ever the default move? But theoretically someone trained trying to be intimidating would have a decent sense of "how far away do I need to be to attempt to catch this arrow without putting myself at risk". No one would reasonably be like "This dude is only 20ft away from me I'm gonna catch his arrow", but maybe at 60 feet, outdoors and with favourable conditions... I dunno? Could be possible.

[@LiveDonkeyDeadLion]

Lars Anderson on here describes it as very easy

[@djdeemz7651]

They did it 2ft away too so in real life you would have more time to grab it

[@d4slaimless]

Well, Adam did catch some arrows when they were testing.

[@animerlon]

I was wondering how Tory was going to get his hands out of the mold. I like the compressed air trick. I'm surprised the 'watershoes' were made out of wood. Reeds used for baskets would be better. I had round, shallow, woven trays that were originally for winnowing grains that would have made more sense.

[@erickbaka]

Having watched a lot of Bullshido masters videos recently, there's a pretty good chance that Dale is a Bullshido sensei. The way he handled Adam's clumsy attempt to punch him was absolutely amateurish at best. If this supposed 15th Dan would go hand-to-hand with a mid-tier MMA fighter he'd be done with. He also seemed somewhat reluctant to appear on high-speed cameras :D My guess is if they'd been used to actually film his technique the truth would have been painfully obvious.

[@Toxicity1987]

Yeah there is no proof that modern Ninjutsu has even anything to do with traditional shinobis. Most real ninjas wouldn't even know any kind of material art since they are just spies and assassins. Killing your foe in his sleep or with poisons would be the get go most of the times, and you don't need to fight to do that.

[@robydee920]

Bullshido sensei, hahaha , good one. My thought exactly.

[@Craig-wp3pz]

Great upload 👍 🦸‍♂️ 🙏

[@angusmctwangstick4079]

Wouldn't it be fantastic if adam just sparked the ninja dude with his first punch

[@fantasticfaart]

Nice

[@headstanding_Penguin]

While I don't think it matters that much, arrows lose some speed over distance, so having the hand rigg and the bow that close is kind of unfair, especially if you would be talking about a battlefield situation

[@daringspino3446]

true, no one is dumb enough to try catching arrows at such distance.

[@nazynntaintedveil3087]

Adam called it in the initial tests: it's about anticipating the loosing of the arrow just before the archer fires. That becomes easier to do with a bit of range. There are a reasonable number of martial artists out there who can reliably demonstrate this technique - though, of course, I say that in the way that there are a "reasonable number" of people who can flip over a car by hand. It's a skill that requires a lot of effort to master, and a real testament to a human's mental and physical capabilities.

[@oxob3000]

44:58 always loved that moment lol

[@mr-x7689]

The mizugumo IF it accualy is footwheare. looks like its for Snow, not water. (Well tecnicly snow is water but frozen) Yes it is possible to grab a arrow mid flight, if its a weak bow and not fully drawn, and you got the knowledge when the arrow is gonna be shot, and where it will hit. (I'm a archery instructor whit ower 18 years of archery experience. I'm not saying i know everything about archery or that i'm the best at it. But I know enough to know it is possible if the stars align, And you do everything you can to have a favourable outcome. But use a modern bow, whit modern arrows, att full drawlength, and all you are going to catch is the feeling of the arrow going stright trough you.)

[@d4slaimless]

Well, that's exactly what Adam did - he was catching slow speed arrows that Jamie sent his way. I mean this shows that you can, indeed, grab an arrow from the air if the conditions are suitable.

[@johnoconnor4941]

Someone sinks into a non Newtonian fluid. Just before they fully sink a rope is tossed to them however it's connected to a high speed winch above them. The winch is fired and the person is pulled up at high speed. What would be the outcome. Does the fluid become hard and hold the person in situe as the winch rips up tearing them in half? Does the fluid release them easily and remain a fluid? What's likely?

[@danielmcginley7252]

I wish they would have tried making shoes that were like two little boats

[@Grancigul]

8:45 man Kari was cute AF there, that was just adorable

[@kaseycrooks5080]

Kari is a babe I love her

[@Shizzle_My_Nizzle]

You betcha! Did you see her on pilot-episode 02 in bikini? Such a hot but* Damit

[@gravedigr12]

r.i.p grant 49 is too young

[@nicholascampbell2824]

if that guy thinks he caught an arrow I can claim to have climbed mount Everest, I can catch a bullet but only if it's thrown at me instead of shot

[@c4feg4r44]

i love the mythbusters but the info about ninja's they give is 100% Hollywood. atleast in the opening.

[@VinodKumar01]

Myth busted 🎉

[@furman761]

Adam, just build a canoe already...

[@UsedBrain4U]

You can taste Jamie's contempt for Adam. 😢

[@kyokkyuu]

I have good news for you: it's not contempt. That's a common misconception. They were coworkers who respected each other for years both before and during Mythbusters. No hatred, they just weren't best buds who hung out after work since they have such different personalities.

[@NiGHTSaturn]

@@kyokkyuuExactly, and that’s exactly why they truly enjoyed working together. They both love to be challenged.

[@d4slaimless]

They got on each others nerves from time to time certainly. But if you look how they interact there can't be exactly hard feelings. There's a lot of small things, but as an example one story that Adam shared. To make it short: Jamie was doing something and it went wrong. He called Adam to show and after some thinking Adam understood what happened and told Jamie "Now I know something fundamental that I didn't know few seconds ago". And Jamie answered him "That's why I called you". When you feel barely concealed contempt toward someone you don't call them to share some insight about your work. You actually try to share as less with them as possible.

I think shoe was made for smaller n skinner japan people of the time

[@LongPlayPladde]

The arrow catching could be achieved by not fastening the grip but by starting a little earlier. Also a normal archer wouldn't stay this close so there's way more time to react and the arrow would have slowed down a little. Then you'd have to look up the shooting speed of actual bows used in ancient Japan - I don't know it, but would guess it's a little slower. Some asian (cross-)bows were built to shoot more arrows in the same time, which definetly flew slower. Plus not every archer and even less every shot was "perfect". As there are people cathing arrows today, I would call the myth totaly not busted. But still you're 100% better of taking cover or wearing some kind of protection... :D

[@JH-fk8ow]

they were way way faster than this 15-20pound kids bow can throw... are you serious? i would expect they had 200 feet per second speed shot from 100pound bow with heavy arrow, thats around the expected speed from the ancient japanese warbow, these guys are shooting really slow arrows, 85fps speed vs real warbow with 200fps speed.... pick any historical time and any warbow, it will be stronger than 99% of recretional or hunting bows we use today 20-80pounds, 80 is alot. its because we dont need 100-180pound warbows anymore, it was all about shooting long distance back than

[@LongPlayPladde]

@@JH-fk8ow Never said I'm sure about the arrow speed part. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@agtga1]

dale is garbage 15th degree? and second you can walk around with guns in the states but metal throwing stars are illegal?

[@djdeemz7651]

Dude kinder eggs are illegal over there to protect kids from them ....who can legally own a gun in some places 🤷

[@d4slaimless]

I'd want to be able to own a gun, especially some cool big thing like Desert Eagle. But when almost anyone can easily get a weapon - this won't go well in most countries.

I can't believe how racist Adam used to be. He owes the Japanese community an apology.

These guys tried to do something honest, that's why this video gets virtually no views.
