- I am well aware that these are dances invented by Zaporizhian Cossacks (Ukrainians) I DO NOT SUPPORT COMMUNISM (I am not stupid)
if you don't like Ukraine or Russia keep it to yourself. This channel is focused on dancing!
If you love Ukraine ENJOY!
If you don't like Ukraine ignore the flag at the end (I'm writing this for the reason that it's pretty hard to please people these days.
I love how this dance makes people think “I mean I could probably do that” and then you try it and fall down and go “never mind I can’t do that”
It's worse when you pseudo succeed.
One of my friends fell on his ass trying to do it so me being ultra competitive gave it a shot, stretched out, warmed up and started - then immediately lost my balance and started backpeddaling but since I'm reasonably capable from gymnastics and karate managed to stay upright and strain the muscles in my back, stomach and upper thighs.
In hindsight I'd have been better off falling on my ass.
@@psychedashell oh lol
Applies to most professional dances tbh. For example, ballet - it's stylized to look easy, "etheral", but most people wouldn't be able to repeat even the most basic movements without falling out of balance immediately, because of too weak muscles.
What you see in this video is not about Ukraine!!! It's a cheap russian imitation of the famous Ukrainian dance. The russians have always tried to steal Ukrainian dishes, Ukrainian songs and dances. Miserable empire-minded people inhabit this territory @@psychedashell
I feel the same way. i think "that's easy to do". But after trying, you have pain in places you didn't even know you had.
People have absolutely no concept of the difficulty of this. Massive leg strength, balance, coordination and stamina, then on top of all that, doing it drunk. These are formidable Men
the mobility is most impressive
And I can't even do it sober.
Это делать очень просто,если ты танцуешь гопак,с четырёх лет,это всё даётся само собой, пока ты молод,а дальше,как велосипед, это твоё тело уже не может забыть!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Going down into the slav squat alone is sheer impossible for most people, let alone dance in this position. :)
My ego disappeared the second I tried this after saying “I could do that”
The dance that's not hard to learn, but being able to learn it will test the limits of your soul
Да бля не одна армия в мире так не сможет😢
Quite contractionary.
The dance that separates the men from their knees.
Lol😂
😂😂

Wow. As a 64 year old man, my knees hurt just watching that. Awesome!
As a 66 year old man, and one who probably couldn't do it when I was a young and fit young man, LOL, I applaud all you young studs who can.
So do mine - and I'm quite a bit younger than you!!!
As a 4 year old-
Yup. 58 with ruined knees.
Same here, as a 61 year old woman, I wish my knees were that flexible.
This ain't no dancing. This is the best workout right there😂😂😂😂😂. Respect for you bro🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾💪💪💪💪
That dance takes extraordinary strength to perform.

Its mostly shin durability, and i speak from experience
Офигенно выглядит... Могу позавидовать только такой выносливости и работать - работать - работать😊
Я почти научился так делать
I've been fascinated by that dance for about as long as I can remember, and couldn't do that on my best day, nevermind now! It's still a wonder to watch!
This dance requires tremendous physical ability.
i would say not a t all the only thing that prevent us for acomplishing is our daily routines in which we arent using our bodys as they where capapble of once. so we have become stiff because oaf sitting/working to much in the same positions
According to the other comments, you need tremendous physical ability@@fallengoodguy
@@fallengoodguy
Not at all is a stretch.
Even "active peoples" can't do this.
@@fireblaze8491 but i bet children can if they have enough mobility and so we lost ability over the years ...
@@fallengoodguy I am not disagreeing with the idea that we have lost mobility because of sedentary lifestyles because you've got people who struggle with a singular pull up which is considered common.
What I am trying to say is this is a movement that most likely requires training even if you are active.
This is by far the best type of dance humanity has ever invented
Its right up there with classic disco, for sure.

Тот человек который придумал и вставил этот танец в украинский гопак просто гений! Танец тяжелый, но очень красиво выглядит.
I used to try that all the time when I was a little kid, I'd allways end up smacking my head on the coffee table 😆
A lot of people don’t realize how hard this actually is. After a few seconds your knees will hurt for hours, but it’s a great workout nonetheless so if you can be skilled enough to do it, then include it on leg day.
I think everyone realizes how hard this is. I didn't even bother attempting to do it because I know I'll injure something, and I'm in my late 20s.

I am pretty strong, especially my legs, I have really good balance and I am quite flexible (I stretch, work-out and practice various extreme balancing exercises many times a week), so looking at this I was like "should be doable". Not even close, from the starting position I just fell back and could not move a leg and landed on my back and my wife laughed hard from the bedroom. It's more insane than it looks like even 😂😂
How’s your ‘Asian squat’?
@@jimstenlund6017 it's good, i do it a lot actually
Hip flexor strength? Hold thigh at 90 degrees but up against a hip high bar and see if can extend foot and shin parallel to the floor. If cant there's part of ur problem.
There must be some progression exercises they do or else just torture them selves for a few months.
@@nikitaw1982 pretty sure thats it yes!

Incredibly difficult to master this style of dance .
Always remarkable to see the tradition maintained across

I love this. There's such joy you can feel from seeing it and from the music. My knees also hurt watching.
But you’ll never see somebody smiling while doing this
When I was in the Hungarian army nearly 60 years ago we had to do the first part (the first 15 seconds) of this as part of the morning exercise routine. We called it the Soviet-Hungarian brotherhood dance. (The Soviets were our brothers, not friends, you can choose your friends but not your relatives....)

I love all the people saying they thought this dance was easy until they tried it. I remember the first time I saw it when I was six years old and was convinced these people had magic to let them float to not fall on their butts every step. My quads burn just watching it, not to mention my abs and my joints turning to jelly.

I think anyone who can dance like that would fight pretty well too, strong kicks and punches.
That's a rather strange thing to conclude from this, but you're right in the sense that this takes a level of leg and core strength/stamina that the majority of people don't have.
For sure!
They would knock someone into last week Thursday with one of their kicks

This song. It just sounds like a group of people around a campfire, clapping and cheering in song while one dude goes crazy whistling. Amazing.
What a descriptive and accurate comment
It’s an old Russian soldiers lament. Kagda Moi Bili Na Voinye- “When we were at war”. Regardless of one’s stance on the unfortunate Ukraine - Russia war, It’s an amazing and very powerful and sad song.
He has to have been dancing like this every single day since he was 2 years old. Wow!!!!!
Next level mobility. Insanely impressive.
Music:"When we were at war"(russian folksong)
The funny thing about Russian folk music is that much of it is actually quite new, a true living tradition.
Глядя на этот танец, на комментарии людей из разных стран, которые не видят разницы между Россией и Украиной, мне в который раз захотелось, чтобы мои родные русские и украинские братья собрались на опушке у леса, развели костёр, выпили, закусили, под аккомпонемент баяна попрыгали через огонь, сплясали, искупались в речке, обнялись и пошли вместе плечом к плечу покорять миры.
Но читая комментарии украинских пользователей я думаю "мужики, перезаряжайте".
Да что ты такое несешь🤕?
@neverland3825 сегодня Украина бомбит Мариуполь.... так же как уничтожала Донецк! Ребята, перезаряжайте...
@neverland3825 так что про Мариуполь? Ответить нечего? Кого вы там убиваете русских или украинцев? За Россией идут строители, а за Украиной каратели...

I can feel and hear my knees crack and cackle just watching his man.
my knees and back hurt from just watching...lol
To all those 'one arm push up' dudes out there... this is another level. 😄
One arm push ups are actually relatively easy. (One arm pull ups would be a lot harder, and so would be this dance.)
I can definitely learn this first long before I ever do a one arm pushup
completely pointless to compare the two, different muscle groups
@@proverbalizer you would be suprised how easy the one arm push up is if your able to 50 pushups in a row.
@@AliSidTex I've always been able to train myself up to 80+ pushups in a single set (which becomes a long slow grind after 40)...but never been anywhere near a one arm pushup. the best I can do is a 1 arm knee pushup....or inclined with a bar or something that is damn near hip height.
Although esterday I did my best set of 50 pushups ever though...fulll ROM and a continuous flow with no resting at the top so I completed 50 in 56 seconds. I used to struggle to get 40 full ROM pushups within 1 min, and even a couple month back when I managed to get to 45 in one minute it still took me 1:27 to complete 50
Getting knee surgery in 2 days, I think my days of learning this dance are over. I love it tho, wild!
It is the sheer amount of energy involved that staggers me with that dance, it looks amazing and whoever can pull it off is welcome to my home for a beer any time! lol
Could you imagine picking a fight with this guy and he starts easily doing the mamooska on your head
Thank you for the disclaimer Cesko. The young man has amazing talent.
Much love to the Ukrainian people and their culture.
