A Korean man with a silly walk

This video was not filmed in Japan, but it did air on Japanese TV about strange and cool stuff around the world:

The South Korean guy shown in the video looks like a pretty average businessman when he sits at his desk or attends meetings at his company. However, whenever he needs to leave a chair and go somewhere, he gets down on all fours and walks like a tiger. Apparently he had been suffering health problems, but after reading a newspaper article about the benefits of such a walking style, he began walking like a tiger all the time. He gets a lot of funny looks in public and it can be hard for his coworkers to speak with him while walking somewhere together, but he claims that the tiger walk has greatly improved his health. He’s even attracted a few followers and formed an organization of people who walk on all fours!

I wonder what his health problems are. Added to those health problems will soon be lower back pain.

Amazing that he didn’t get fired. Even more amazing that his wife didn’t divorce him. Very strange.

Getting fired? maybe, but to divorce? Probably most wifes, has much more “strangeness” and in some case gross and disgusting “health” improvements ways, then this man, want example?: dump, urine, and over healthy, smelly, “stuff” masks, yoga exercise, laugh exercise and ect. ect. . And probably, nobody thinks about divorce, just maybe about “strange” ways, but quite acceptable.

Well it did say health benefits. Maybe he’s better in the sack.

At least wear some gloves. That’s nasty.

He’s wearing gloves, at least sometimes, you can see them near the end when he’s walking in the forrest.

I wonder if there are real medical facts that would justify this walking style.

“I wonder if there are real medical facts that would justify this walking style.”

REAL medical facts – no.

Quackery/snake oil/mystic healers/shams/holistic magic – of course there is.

Well if he has back problems this might actually help.

Exactly. I’m guessing he doesn’t realize that his hands are on the floor where everyone has just walked with their toilet watered shoes. Super nasty.

Do you wear gloves when you touch door knobs or keyboards? Do you know what sort of high levels of bacteria are on them?

Interestingly enough, recently I heard in a lecture that public door knobs/rails/etc had worse bacteria than the inside of a toilet bowl or even the pavement! Urine is apparently quite sanitary and has some anti-bacterial properties.

If you were in bad health how would you be strong enough to walk this way?

Didn’t evolution make us bipedal for a reason?

Interesting….well, if it helps in his medical issues than so be it. I bet he has great upper body strength now.
