Japanese Precision Walking Competition - Neatorama

You walk, I walk, but the Japanese? Now they precision walk. That's what you're about to see: a precision walking competition. Kind of like marching band, but without the tubas.

For some deep-rooted reason, this warms my German heart.

the part where the two groups walked past each other in groups at diagonals was really impressive, a lot of the rest, was shockingly mundane. oh japan.

That was a lot cooler than I expected, to be honest.

Actually, what it needs most is John Cleese in the middle of it doing the "Silly Walks."

@ Max Power: Finally I understand where your rabid anti-american attitude comes from. You're a Nazi who is afraid to come out of the closet. Go back to spit-shinning your hob-nailed jackboots while you masturbate to thoughts of a Fourth Reich. We will kick your ass a third time if necessary, or maybe just let the Russians have their Lebenstraum.

And with that, the conversation is killed.

I watched about 5 seconds, and couldn't get past the bad hair to watch any further.

Watching this I realized that there is no way in HELL that you'd see this in the States; we just don't have that discipline.
You beat us again, Japan. Kudos.

@Timothy P Wow, you are a racist cunt. I'm curious have you ever been outside of the states?

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

i think the only reason this works is that they are all the same size. pretty boring, really.

Wow Timothy P, if there's any reason to hate the states you've just managed to sum it up more neatly than anyone else.

When I was in the Army, a popular pasttime at "sergeant's school" was marching your platoons at each other to see who'd chicken out and call a flanking movement to prevent the inevitable collision.

1. Japan's solution to walking in an overpopulated country?
2. What marching band competition needs to do: get rid of the instruments.

Troll is still troll.

I thought the guy with the black hair was especially good.

masada, you have obviously never seen a drum corps competition. The discipline required for that proves your statement wrong.
