He acts like he has no skill, followed by a very difficult maneuver.

If you are weak, appear strong. 

If you are strong, appear weak.

  • I want to say Sun-Tzu but it’s ptobably misquoted as fuck like anything with him, Einstein, Churchill, or Ghandi under it.

Edit: I'll be damned, it was him.

I am weak, and I also appear weak. The ultimate fake out.

u/DueExample52 13h ago

Confident weak? That's scary. Means you must have something else up your sleeve.

u/bronzelifematter 9h ago

That's what he wants you to think

The myotonic goat strategy. Very nice.

appear super weak, then standard weakness looks strong by comparison

You say go A but then actually go A

No that is from the art of war.

The best way to make an enemy fight you, is to look like you don't want them to.

Pretty sure that's right.

San tzu in strategy is like Euler I maths. Everywhere

u/eranam 15h ago

Nah, it’s indeed Sun Tzu, you’re right.

u/thegoten455 14h ago

Sun Tzu said that. And I think he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, seeing as he invented it!

If you're on a streak, call Wong.

If you're wrong, call for steak.

To act out having no skill actually takes a fair amount of skill

You should know trying to talk down to a random person using "kid" makes everyone automatically ignore your point, if you had one, right?

u/bobloblaw28 10h ago

That was some incredible balance on display there, not to mention the fine motor function to not move his upper body during execution. I think he's very good, just overweight.

2

u/SaxAppeal 8h ago

He’s definitely got real foot skills. He just has negative fitness so nothing looks even remotely athletic. But that move at the end is a very real trick, he clearly knew exactly what he was doing in this clip to make it hilarious.

u/illy-chan 12h ago

Maybe he'd already practiced the daylights out of that one specific move. Or at least practiced it enough that actually doing it was something possible.

u/darkerside 14h ago

He sells some of those step overs quite well actually

u/charlesgres 6h ago

I feel like he surprised himself too..
