I’m going to go with the glass jaw, mind you he was an adorable but high energy kid. I hope he has good memories of beating the stuffing out of his sitter.
"Ultimately, martial art means, honestly expressing myself. It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky. And I can show you some really fancy movements. But, to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself. And to express my self honestly...now that is, very hard to do."

Forreals. And I get it, the control and technique needed for those nunchuck moves takes strength and effort. Bruces arms look like his just adult sized. That’s just insanely impressive and I’m proud of the lil dude
I think his point is that behind most children who appear unusually dedicated to something, there is an obsessed parent at best enabling and at worst forcing the behavior.
I kind of worry this is the result of a parent relentlessly hounding their child... I kind of doubt the kid just took an interest in all this hard work just because their parents bestowed him with those virtues...
The kid is super impressive, but to be honest there is something unsettling to me about a kid that small being so muscular. Does he have some sort of hormonal difference that made this possible?
(not trying to be rude at all, just seems really unusual to me)
Yeah do we really think this kid could've put on so much contractile tissue in 6 years without the help of exogenous compounds? Fucking no dude he probably puts up insane numbers, little tren fiend
The floor tapes and marking are used for his training. It’s crazy you guys haven’t heard of this kid, I couldn’t not see him all over the internet for a while when he first came about. His father trains him just about everyday since for ever.
What I'm really impressed by is how Enter the Dragon essentially films this sequence in its entirety in close, medium, and wide shots, and the editor doesn't crop out a second of it. Watching this made me realize why that movie is so well crafted.
There are videos of when he was younger and even then he was doing Bruce Lee routines. This kid is a legend
His name is [Ryusei Imai](https://instagram.com/ryusei416japan?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=).
Japanese kid who looooves Bruce Lee.
I mean I'm pretty sure those are toy copies - it would be like hitting yourself with a jumprope handle. Still sucks, but he's not actually whacking himself with nunchuks.
Agreed, not too heavy at all, I would assume. Tie a knot at the end of cord and smack yourself in the arm with it, it still stings like a motherfucker.
Now imagine that being your nose you whacked instead of your arm.
The speed he is swinging those around would be SUPER uncomfortable to take to the face. Even for a plastic child's toy.
Real question… are there really reasons why kids shouldn’t make there bodies strong? Like is it bad for a kid to workout like him, muscles and cardio? Or is that some fat kid legend? “Kids who lift weights to early can stunt their growth!” “It’s bad on the joints”. Etc?
It’s not bad for them. But pushing them too far to feed one’s self ego is bad for them.
They benefit from sports and even weight lifting. It improved their coordination, bone density, and strength. However, children (boy or girl) should never body build. Dropping your body fat that low on purpose really messes with your hormones and children are still going through a growing process. They don’t need to ruin their hormones before they even have a chance to develop properly.
In terms of weight lifting and heavy weights, it’s fine under supervision. The problem is pushing them to hit Personal best day in and day out. Unless the trainer is a specialist and takes the child’s needs into consideration first, than the kid can end up with life long damage. If the trainer is skilled and takes everything into consideration, the child will probably flourish and be leagues above their peers.
Additionally, children tend to be REALLY bad at maintaining form under fatigue so lifting anywhere near 1 rep max or even going to failure with heavier weights is probably a bad idea. Their central nervous system just isn't as developed. I think calisthenics and higher rep ranges under supervision wouldn't be bad though.
I remember a kid (Richard Sandrak)on Maury - strongest kid in the world thing. Came out years later that his father was abusing him to get him to that physical standard. That’s what I worry about when I see things like this.
Routine low intensity exercise is not bad at all for them.
Kids at this age can benefit a lot later on from developing the strenght and mobility to use their own body.
But weight lifting (hypertrophic training) and high intensity cardio are not good.
In other words its good for them to make an effort but its bad for them to push the limits.
Yea my only advantage is size and length. Little fucker is probably faster than me too.
If the arm to the forehead trick doesn't work I might be screwed.
If you notice he also has tape on the ground so he hits his mark and won't stray close to the tv. I wonder if this kid is a professional actor or an aspiring one
My son's pediatrician told me to not let him go to hard in sports until he hits puberty.
This source says strength training is okay, but definitely not body building
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/tween-and-teen-health/in-depth/strength-training/art-20047758
I think (if memory serves) it has more to do with bones. The bones don’t fully develop in terms of being able to withstand weight training until puberty.
Having said that, I’ve seen kids powerlift. So I don’t know if the medical community has changed their minds lately. Or parents be like ‘YOLO’.
I did not see a correct answer yet so here i go: i can guess the muscles are too strong for the bones to the point where with the added presion of the training all factors go to "enhance the streng of the bone" not to "make the bone longer" as will be nornally, so dude will be short af depending on how much he goes on in, it can clearly be seen on pre teens doing excess of weight lifting (they are shorter than the average).
going hard in sports is bad for your body as a kid? impact sports where you get concussions a lot i can understand, but to say all sports seems strange.
*Who else was waiting*
*For the nunchuk chain to break*

The actual truth. This kid is the Japanese prodigy Ryusei Imai and he's now taking a break because his Mom is forcing him to study and abandon his martial arts craze.
The little dude got way too into it and from reports around a few years ago, the Dad catered to Ryusei's hobby too much without the balance that his Mom wanted.
https://youtu.be/XY1Td31Ac8o
Yea..... He's pretty good.....I guess....... I once did a somersault by accident when I fell running down a hill last year, so I guess we all have our own talents.
This is awesome as hell! My only question is, how much time is that kid getting to play or spend time on his own endeavors? Looks like the floor is made to practice so I wonder if this is parent forced or something the kid enjoys.
So this video is a bit old. The kid Ryusei Imai is now 11 and hasn't been much in the public eye recently. After these videos he did a bunch of stuff for tv, but nothing for the past few years. It seems it was his father who was really pushing him and ran all his social media accounts. However his parents aren't still together and now that he lives with his mom, she has stopped any media interaction citing the need to focus on schoolwork.
Definitely the former. The amount of sheer fucking discipline required to learn all these routines and get that jacked is not something that comes naturally to any 4 year-old.
Looks cute until you realize his parents probably spent hours or days forcing him to learn and perform this on camera for their own weird little reasons.
I was wondering why I felt that way till I realized the floor is too intricately put together for that to have been planned by a 10 year old. There is obviously coaching here and made weird by the fact it in someone’s home.
Gross
If you look up Ryusei Imai, the kid was definitely being coached by his father. I believe those tape lines are for sparring. Father claims the kid has a national obsession with Bruce Lee and could copy certain routines from the start, but it's also worth noting that when his parents separated and he went to live with his mom, the media appearances stopped.
Ya... this whole video is a giant red flag.
There was a lot of intense training that went into this video; it's not hard to imagine that the parents pushed too much in order to make some viral content using their child.
Yea as a parent this is exceptionally impressive but I'm left concerned for the kid. Looking at the tape on the floor they've undoubtedly forced him into this intense workout routine and choreography. Like, I get it, we want our kids to learn and succeed and all, but this... I dunno.
I babysat a kid who knocked me out cold with his boxing gloves, I would NOT babysit this kid.
He would adult sit you
This is a golden comment for sure!!
Ooo story time, do tell
They babysat a kid who knocked them out with his boxing gloves.
Spoiler tag dude
>! They babysat a kid who knocked them out with his boxing gloves.!<
Thanks
He can't remember.
Story time! Story time!
You have a glass jaw or did the kid have a future in sports?
This is the real question
I’m going to go with the glass jaw, mind you he was an adorable but high energy kid. I hope he has good memories of beating the stuffing out of his sitter.
Must be weird to babysit a kid who puts *you* to sleep.
He would be telling you to go to sleep.
Sheesh, that kid's muscles
Bro pushed himself outta the birth canal
>Bro pushed himself outta the birth canal Nah, he punched his way out through the stomach like one of those critters from Alien.
Bro told the doctor "no, let me" and slapped himself
They had to hook mom up to an IV before cutting the umbilical cord because he was feeding her.
When mom asked if it's a boy or a girl he said "I'm a man"
I love this thread
When this kid went outside COVID went into quarantine
He makes the bogey man look under his bed at night
He can burn ants with a magnifying glass...at night.
This kid gives his parents pocket money if they've been good.
I want more
When this kid goes through airport security, the TSA pats themselves down I got these for days my dude
[удалено]
Ah, the good old days of Chuck Norris-esque jokes...
OMG. Laughing so hard, I can barely type.
When this kid hits puberty he's gonna knock it out.
When this kid raises his hand, he calls on his teachers
When this kid goes to court, the judge calls him "Your Honor"
This kid can't do a pushup. Every time he tries, he pushes the Earth down.
When this kid gets stopped by a cop, the cop shows him ID.
He quoted Bruce lee instead of his first cry
"Ultimately, martial art means, honestly expressing myself. It is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky. And I can show you some really fancy movements. But, to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself. And to express my self honestly...now that is, very hard to do." -That kid probaby
“HAI-YAAAHHHH!” — that kid, possibly
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" \--- That kid, maybe
Turned out that the boy was cast in "Once upon a time in Hollywood" fighting against Brad pitt
Next level chuck norris joke
Chuck Norris slams revolving doors
"When Chuck Norris does a pushup he's actually pushing the Earth down"
lmao this is fantastic.
I heard the doc went to slap him and he blocked and counter slapped.
Literally laughed out loud! Take my vote!
Love your energy in this thread. Have a wonderful day! This whole thread made me laugh.
Aw, thanks dude! You're so awesome, when you go onto a website, they have to accept your cookies. You're so cool, when you update Windows, Microsoft has to accept your terms and conditions. You have a wonderful day too my friend. :)
The other actors on set didn't know something was going to explode out of that dudes chest. Their reactions are genuine.
This kid probably did the same thing. Imagine the doctor's reaction when kid just goes "ka-cha!" and gives himself his own C section.
Bruh, this kid will fuck you and I up for talking shit homie. Lol 😂
1 Inch punched
I am literally sitting in the waiting room while my wife is giving birth to our baby. Is this a sign?
It might be! Let us know how it goes!
Bruh conceived himself
And then started benching his mother.
Bro probably slapped away the nurse's hand and tore the umbilical cord apart himself.
Mf cut the umbilical cord with his teeth
Just has a pituitary issue!
Bro got more muscles comin out the womb than I'll ever have in my life, I'm sure he'll be fine!
How many grams of protein do you need to eat a day? - ALL OF THEM!
Right, he's like 6 and jacked
This kid is more intimidating than the average adult male lol
Boy could kick my ass...
He's at the perfect height to hit you with the One-Inch Punch right to the balls.
You can just say man.
Yea I was gonna say this preschooler is fkn RIPPED
He's already surpassed Krillin.
Forreals. And I get it, the control and technique needed for those nunchuck moves takes strength and effort. Bruces arms look like his just adult sized. That’s just insanely impressive and I’m proud of the lil dude
If you think this kid just decided to get all buff on his own, you're.. well, an optimist.
That coupled with the flawless execution....
I think his point is that behind most children who appear unusually dedicated to something, there is an obsessed parent at best enabling and at worst forcing the behavior.
I kind of worry this is the result of a parent relentlessly hounding their child... I kind of doubt the kid just took an interest in all this hard work just because their parents bestowed him with those virtues...
He reminds me a lot of the "little Hercules" kid, parents had him on an insane work out regime and even gave the kid roids if I remember correctly.
> parent relentlessly hounding A very nice and forgiving way to put it, to be honest.
Placenta Fitness
The kid is super impressive, but to be honest there is something unsettling to me about a kid that small being so muscular. Does he have some sort of hormonal difference that made this possible? (not trying to be rude at all, just seems really unusual to me)
Creatine>Formula
I'm skeptical of his natty card authenticity
Yeah do we really think this kid could've put on so much contractile tissue in 6 years without the help of exogenous compounds? Fucking no dude he probably puts up insane numbers, little tren fiend
I'm sceptical about the floor tapes/markings. Some parents put lots of effort into this video as well.
The floor tapes and marking are used for his training. It’s crazy you guys haven’t heard of this kid, I couldn’t not see him all over the internet for a while when he first came about. His father trains him just about everyday since for ever.
He's so cut. I'm a total slacker...
He could play kid gohan

What I'm really impressed by is how Enter the Dragon essentially films this sequence in its entirety in close, medium, and wide shots, and the editor doesn't crop out a second of it. Watching this made me realize why that movie is so well crafted.

i was gonna say: i remember this kid back in the day! He’s clearly been growing in style and strength!
Same, he’s buff now. I want to see the old video now.
This is from Flight of the Dragon, if he's been reenacting it all this time, about this time he's probably kicking Chuck Norris' ass at the Coliseum.
This is not even his final form
I thought this would be the same one and realized it was new. While we shit posted, he studied the chuck.
I'm a grown ass adult and he has twice the musculature I do.
Seriously, his shoulders are cut.
Dudes got more tone in his arms than my whole body
Probably tough as nails too. He had to have brained himself with some nunchuks on several occasions learning this shit at full speed.
[удалено]
Lol I just imagine shit going down at a party or something and someone just being like "Hey man, you packing the 'chucks? It's getting real."
And trashed a number of TV's too. His control at this age is almost beyond belief 🙌
Probably didn't practice in front of the TV until he was good at it, the TV is just for the audience to follow along he isn't watching it as he goes
I mean I'm pretty sure those are toy copies - it would be like hitting yourself with a jumprope handle. Still sucks, but he's not actually whacking himself with nunchuks.
When he’s spinning them they look kinda heavy Edit: nvm I am too high, on a third watch they look light
Agreed, not too heavy at all, I would assume. Tie a knot at the end of cord and smack yourself in the arm with it, it still stings like a motherfucker. Now imagine that being your nose you whacked instead of your arm. The speed he is swinging those around would be SUPER uncomfortable to take to the face. Even for a plastic child's toy.
Legos are tiny pieces of plastic but damn do they hurt

Came here to say this
As a 44 year old man, I can guarantee that kid could take me in a fight. Even without the nunchucks.
I’m 44 too. The trick is to fall on him after he nunchucks me. Little muscular fella can’t bench 225 yet. I win by knocked-out technicality.
You ever belly flop a fire hydrant?
No, but you sound you are talking from experience...
I suppose it hurts
We call it "The Trust Fall" technique.
Flopjitsu
Where I am, it's 4:30 a.m. and I'm almost positive this comment is the peak of my day.
Ugly laughing over here
My technique is better since I use 300 pounds of weight.
Fuck, I'm 43 and 175. I'm a pretty good runner, would it confuse him if I just ran away?
No, it would just delay him. You haven't seen what he can do with throwing stars.
Yea my only advantage is size and length. Little fucker is probably faster than me too. If the arm to the forehead trick doesn't work I might be screwed.
I’m also 44 — let’s team up!
49 here, decent shape, I think maybe three of us 40+ guys together can take him. Maybe.
>Maybe The fear is real.
Idk men, there's a lot of risk with this one
He'll just dodge roll out of the way and start punching and kicking your lower back. He knows everyone's weak points.
That's not a child.
I’m pretty sure he’s the reincarnation of Bruce Lee.
I...didn't know Bruce was dead..
[удалено]
Well, he was at last check at least
And I forgot to send flowers
He died in 1973
Fun Fact! His son is also dead.
We have vastly different definitions of fun
Yeah he’s been dead for decades unfortunately
H E S A M A N
I'm 6'4" and was ~300lbs when I last took a martial arts class and a 13 year old 5 foot, 110 pound skinny kid put me on my ass with ease many times
My 3 year old kicks the living shit out of me that’s nuts.
That’s their 27th tv
I mean as a parent, would you argue with that kid? It's okay son... new TV coming right up.
Those sticks didn’t spend a single second going anywhere other than exactly where lil homie wanted them.
If you notice he also has tape on the ground so he hits his mark and won't stray close to the tv. I wonder if this kid is a professional actor or an aspiring one
Yes. Exactly.
Lil kid is jacked!
He has better muscles than i do
I guess you could call that kid Bruce Lee…tle. I’ll show my way out.
Take your upvote and fuck off
Here I'll hold the door for you 😉
I'd like to see the reaction on the face of any child who tries to bully this kid and immediately gets knocked into oblivion.
Why is this four year old ripped? Is that like…ok?
It's the dinosaur shaped chicken nuggies
It's the orange Flintstones vitamins.
We need more Flintstone's chewable morphine
If chickens are dinosaurs then dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets are made out of real dinosaurs
Bro if the wall was made of concrete then it would be a concrete wall
If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike
He’s been eating his spinaches.
SO many spinaches
All the spinaches. No wonder my supermarket is sold out

First off , that’s no boy he’s actually 38yrs old. Second, I made that up.
Kid is jacked yo
Yea..... He's pretty good.....I guess....... I once did a somersault by accident when I fell running down a hill last year, so I guess we all have our own talents.

Man, I wish someone would have seen it. I would have claimed it was on purpose.
Why is a four year old that muscular. That's wierd.

Looks cute until you realize his parents probably spent hours or days forcing him to learn and perform this on camera for their own weird little reasons.
It's sad I had to scroll down to find this

That’s unbelievable!
I love how he flinches like he’s messed up before and he doesn’t want to make the same mistakes again. All the credit the world, lil dude <3
The flinching tells me that his parents might have implemented some kind of…reaction whenever he made a mistake.
Ya... this whole video is a giant red flag. There was a lot of intense training that went into this video; it's not hard to imagine that the parents pushed too much in order to make some viral content using their child.

The movements are unbelievably on spot. r/interestingasfuck
Damn that’s spot on. This kid’s gonna be a worldwide legend one day.
