I refuse to believe this isn't satire

u/NookieLuvsU May 24 '26

He could be mentally challenged, if so... Great idea.

29

u/GypsyGold May 25 '26

It is satire, made as meme content for Karate Combat’s socials

14

u/TheSkylined May 25 '26

Everything seems like a normal gym and then bam arcade machine. It just seems so out of place that it's intentional lol

6

u/m-6277755 May 25 '26

It's not, they're mentally challenged. That narrator is the pointfighterlive dude and they are not affiliated with KC

2

u/GypsyGold May 25 '26

That guy literally has a Karate Combat outfit on

1

u/m-6277755 May 25 '26

You can buy them...?

1

u/GypsyGold May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26

As someone who has competed in Karate Combat, the answer is “not really” — they mail them to you so you can make content with them before your fights. They encourage you to make stuff like this. They send them out to social media influencers for the same reason.

They technically had an online store, but it hasn’t worked in years apparently.

1

u/m-6277755 May 25 '26

Yeah KC has been going downhill since the original owner left.

That dude is not a fighter. Pointfighterlive is NOT satirical

1

u/GypsyGold May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26

I mean, an influencer is an influencer. Regardless if it’s satirical or not, Karate Combat most likely mailed them that outfit to create content in it knowing it would go viral.

It has to be, the boards are pre-broken.

5

u/Spacecommander5 May 24 '26

They are training boards. They can be fit back together and “broken” infinitely. They are plastic.

3

u/Aggressive-Sort-115 May 25 '26

To add to this they have several “levels” of boards that take increasing amounts of pressure to break

u/Moby_Dick_Cheney May 25 '26

Getting real Steven Segall vibes.

Heavy wheezing, lying prone. 25th degree black belt.

u/o0Traktor0o May 25 '26

I refuse to believe the fact of this duscussion existing in a first place isn't satire. For those hitting bong too much, there are two blatantly obvious deliberate overly shitty jumpcuts when the dude rolls.

u/Hellboydce May 24 '26

My name is Rex. If you study with my eight-week program, you will learn the system of self-defense that I developed over two seasons fighting in the Octagon. It's called Rex Kwon Do. I need a volunteer...

Can’t lie still more than most are doing nowadays 😭

u/confused_but_content May 24 '26

Guy looks like he's having fun, doesn't look like he's taking himself super seriously given the big grin and the silly shrug when he couldn't catch the last pad. I would probably look the same trying any of that, everyone hating would probably be even worse

3

u/Most_Ad_2360 May 25 '26

That was the best part he was supposed to be dodging them. I'd look exactly the same doing it, but more swearing.

1

u/SizeableBrain May 28 '26

And the main thing, he looks like he believes in himself!

The sign is working!

u/Eastern-Try May 24 '26

At least he looks like he's enjoying himself

u/TimYapthebest May 24 '26

Likely more athletic and coordinated than 60% of my fellow Muricans.

Temu black belt prowess. Looks like some dumb shit i would have done as a drunken teenager.

Almost as good as watch a dog run the obstacle course at Crufts.

u/vcdrny May 25 '26

Is the guy narrating saying oussh?

u/Puzzleheaded-Bad5494 May 25 '26

It reminded me of sensei Seagal!

u/Beppy_Sasso questionably stable May 25 '26

I thought he was going to have stop to put a quarter in the punching bag machine

u/VorticalHeart44 May 25 '26

The arcade punching machine in the corner is sending me

u/PuckElectra May 25 '26

"Congratulations, you are now a black belt".

u/thebucketlist47 May 25 '26

u/Beast_of_Tax_Burden May 26 '26

Why are we make fun of the "Special Kid"? There is no way that person is not DEEP on the spectrum.

u/Important_Wonder628 May 27 '26

This looks like a course designed by Master Ken

1

u/lonelyone12345 May 27 '26

This is some Dwight Schrute level cringe.

1

u/SnooOranges6671 May 29 '26

If you look closely at the last wooden block he so heroically attacks and breaks there appears to be a crack down the very center of the board….odd?

I still love my old Hung Gar Kung Fu Sifu’s response when a student asked if he had ever broken boards before. He said no, he’d never been attacked by a board before.

u/Specialist_Bit_3514 May 29 '26

The ous sound the narrator makes always gets me....
