Funny VIDEOS: TaeKwonDo Toddlers, How to Silence a Crying Baby, Arab Man learns the Treadmill, Banned Viagra Commercial

Yahoo had some great videos today! TaeKwonDo Toddlers!

How to silence your crying baby:

This one I found on YouTube while trying to find "Woman dances on treadmill" by Yahoo. It's an Arab man learning the Treadmill. This is NOT to make fun of Arab people. This is just funny. There are plenty of funny videos by Americans too, and others, on YouTube. Enjoy.
Hopefully, you'll laugh as hard as I did:

And just ONE MORE. Sorry, but I couldn't resist... A Banned Viagra Commercial:

Martial Arts Movie Reviews: "Champion" a Korean Boxing Film

Image via Wikipedia

First of all, let me just say that I have this thing for Asian men (don't tell my husband). It all started with Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon when I was 13 years old. It's what inspired me to start training in martial arts.

The leading actor in this film, playing Deuk-gu Kim (World Lightweight Boxing Champ of Korea), reminds me of Bruce Lee (he's gorgeous and talented both).

Well, enough of that. It also delights me, now, that we are an international culture and I get to see how others have lived their lives in foreign countries, the cultural differences (like beaten for losing AND beaten for winning? - you'll see what I mean. I think this movie is a treasure.

It's the usual "from rags to riches" story. But this time it's about a Korean boxer. Frankly, in my ignorance I thought boxing was just an American thing. Not so. Korea doesn't just produce Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido champions. No. It gives us World Champion Boxers (and, as I recall, some phenomenal Olympic athletes as well).

And I love this boxer's style: He doesn't give them time to think. It's just flurry, flurry, flurry.

Favorite Line:
"The winning team will get 20 roasted chicken!"


Favorite Scene:
The drunken exchange.

And The SONG.

I didn't fully read the intro, so I was a bit shocked by the ending. I recommend letting yourself be surprised too.

Sub-titled but worth it.

P.S. As a Karate-ka, I was never that crazy about boxing. It just seemed illogical to not use your legs too. And what about blocking? It is clearly more about taking a punch than blocking one.   

Still, you have to admire the sport and those who are bold and brave enough to practice it... the same holds true for MMA competitors. Props.

I have to say that, after watching this video, after more than 35 years of practice... I changed the way I punched. Hmm. A bit humbling, it was.
