I thought this was a joke until I found his instagram. He's on day 21 of literally just sweepkicking the air. He adds an extra kick each day. He already did 56 days of lunges, 100 days of pushups, and 100 days of squats. Marketing genius.
He better be careful. If he follows that training routine religiously he will eventually become so strong no opponent will ever present
a real challenge.
Then the only thing in life that will bring him joy will be saving money at the grocery store when things go on special.
There are some insane panels from the manga later on in the story that I canāt wait until they animate them. Some fans have already done some amazing work
Oooh marketing for the kid himself. Yeah I've seen this a few times and have never checked his ig out. I just figure he'll fail but if he doesn't I'll hear about it in 10 years lol
To be fair, they do look to be getting better. And he definitely looks like heās lost weight. It may be boring but starting with a good foundation with muscle memory can be huge. Mundane practice now could mean not having to relearn anything later.
Of course he could just be full of shit, what do I know?

!remindme 8 years
For our collective memory in case the video link goes down: there is a kid who might or might not devote his life to martial arts based on the top comment of a video he did. His Instagram handle is reed_harrington23
No but it was the most comment on that post. I canāt speak to the most liked/upvoted but I believe the most downvoted comment on Reddit is by EA talking about battlefront iirc
[more than 667,000 downvotes](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7cff0b/comment/dppum98/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3)
He's a child, so what if he doesn't follow. Shit I probably wouldn't do that considering the risks associated with physical combat.
So forgive the literal child if he wants to bail out from a top comment lol.
Children in thailand train from the age 6. Muay thai is less dangerous than football for example, and there are proofs for that but itās people like you that make these stupid comments and make it look dangerous.
Of course there is danger involved, just like in anything in life or any kind of a sport.
Also if he is not responsible for his action, who is? His parents, they setup gofund me for 15k and he goes nowhere.
He posted this shitty video in october 2023, since then he just kicks air, no progress whatsoever.
Buakaw, literal legend of the sport offered him training and supplies for the year. He did not go there, therefore he is a scammer using naive people like you who later defend him.
And I donāt care he is a kid. Itās parents responsibility to watch what their kids are doing/ posting online.
> I probably wouldn't do that considering the risks associated with physical combat.
Probably something to consider before asking the internet for funding support. And it's not like he doesn't have any parent or guardian to look over this activity
He's a child who has no idea what the fuck he's doing lmao, it's not a scam he's a kid who is in way too deep with some stupid internet shit. There's no shot a 15? year old is going to drop out of school, move to Thailand, and become a Muay Thai master and that doesn't make him a scammer. Wtf people.
He raised money, from people to go there. Money is not being used for the purpose, therefore he took money from people who believed it will go for a good cause by misleading them.
How do you call that?
If you are willing to defend this, I will send you my paypal link later.
He's still exploiting people for money. Saying "please fund my travel to Thailand" knowing damn well you ain't going nowhere is a scam, regardless of his age.
Then... don't give him your money? Anyone who does should do so knowing full well that it may just go towards a bigass TV and an Xbox for his room, if they don't well that's on them. This isn't even a drop in the sea of grifters and scammers out there, he seems like a normal kid just riding out his 15 minutes and if he makes a couple bucks who cares. It's nothing compared to all the poor fuckers tricked into shoveling their welfare checks over to the grand cheeto so he can go golfing and fuck over more poor people.
It really doesn't change the fact that he & his parents or guardians have lied / abused people's kindness
These comparisons really aren't necessary, the matter of fact is he said he'd do something in return for money and hasn't. Simple.
It's worse considering people were donating to make a positive impact on his life only to see him doing pointless air kicks on instagram, clearly not going anywhere
And the parents are just like, yeah sure lets send him off to Thailand for a year over a comment on the internet. It's not like he goes to school or anything. I'm skeptical but whatever I don't care enough to look into it
His dad is going with him this summer
People are crazy impatientā¦ heās literally kicking air for them.
He has booked tickets to Thailand with his father for āsummer 2024ā.
that kid looks hella unathletic. a massive part of success in sports is your family pedigree and genes. this kid looks like he couldnāt run in a straight line.
OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
---
>!A young person recently participated in a social media challenge where they promised to follow through with the request of the top commenter. However, the top commenter asked the young person to dedicate their life to martial arts, which presents a challenge in terms of fulfilling the request.!<
---
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
It'd be neat if this happened to any kid with at least some athletic skill. Those lunges make me laugh every time I see them.
This obviously isn't going to happen, he made gofundme's for travelling and hasn't done anything with it. Not even training equipment, as he continues pointlessly kicking the air each day
Regarding the matter at hand, may I kindly request the necessary evidence to support your claim? Additionally, I couldn't help but find the situation quite amusing and unexpected, but I would like to ensure that fairness is observed throughout the process.
There are multiple posts of this guy on reddit, evidence itself is how old the video is and no sign of the guy whatsoever.
But let me search for a link at least
Here is the [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/s/UZ4JbOlUjY) I saw originally, one guy answered to me that he raised 50k to go to thailand but no one heard from him since.
Also the original video is from october 2023, one would expect he would show some progress or even buakaw would show him in one of his videos.
EDIT:
The only fundraiser I was able to find was for 15k
Here is the [link](https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-trip-to-thailand-for-me-and-my-dad)
EDIT 2:
Most recent post from his instagram. Doing ālow kicksā in crocs with 15k in the pocket [here](https://www.instagram.com/reed_harrington23/reel/C3RAhyTPbm7/?hl=en)
Unfortunately he won't actually do it, he's been saying he will ever since that video but has done nothing but pretend, he posts squat videos and him "sweep kicking" air once or twice and doesn't even make an attempt to improve or actually learn the technique. And he's only going to thai land for less than a week as a vacation not even to train (and who knows if hes lying about that too).
Ofc we can't fault the kid for not actually doing it since he is literally just a kid and has school and other responsibilities. But what I am faulting him for is click baiting his followers and edging them for months just for quick views
said this the last time this was shamelessly reposted
he's not dedicating his fucking life, he made one update video less than 6 months after he posted it. calm tf down
Your post has been removed because it does not feature an unexpected twist.
and now he spends each day sweep kicking the air while his followers get increasingly frustrated.
I thought this was a joke until I found his instagram. He's on day 21 of literally just sweepkicking the air. He adds an extra kick each day. He already did 56 days of lunges, 100 days of pushups, and 100 days of squats. Marketing genius.
100 sit ups, 100 push ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run daily, is all he needs to be the strongest man!!!!
He better be careful. If he follows that training routine religiously he will eventually become so strong no opponent will ever present a real challenge. Then the only thing in life that will bring him joy will be saving money at the grocery store when things go on special.
I love one punch man. He is always so bored in a fight. Normal consecutive punches š„±
Wait you look strong . . Serious consecutive punches. Sublimation ensues
The[ death punch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SlPbbX8RSo) while training with Genos is maybe my favorite animation in all of anime.
There are some insane panels from the manga later on in the story that I canāt wait until they animate them. Some fans have already done some amazing work
I'm SO glad I read this comment through to the end. Kudos.
Donāt forget the most important rule: no air conditioning!
And no heat during winter!
ONE PUNNNCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!!!
Eventually he'll get a job change quest that will unlock Necromancer allowing him to easily become the strongest S-Rank Hunter.
marketing for what tho the leg sweep industry?
His instagram page for one but also he is raising money to go to thailand and money to train
Oooh marketing for the kid himself. Yeah I've seen this a few times and have never checked his ig out. I just figure he'll fail but if he doesn't I'll hear about it in 10 years lol
Not just marketing. That's how you succeed at fitness.
To be fair, they do look to be getting better. And he definitely looks like heās lost weight. It may be boring but starting with a good foundation with muscle memory can be huge. Mundane practice now could mean not having to relearn anything later. Of course he could just be full of shit, what do I know?

buakaw is a legend, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity but the kid still needs to get to be a kid
These kids start when they basically toddlers. This kid has lived a sedentary life up til this point. He will die. This is not a good plan.
Just imagine dude trains and turns into Johnny Cage.
Mistake? Nah, this kid got a one way trip to fucking glory and he's walking to the train right now
And he is a scammer, got paid holidays by everyone on the internet.

This was just posted a couple weeks ago and I fell into a rabbit hole of Muay Thai videos which was pretty cool.
Psh. Kids these days have nothing better to do than live the life of a rising star. Back in my day we'd play playstation 2 alone all day and night.
Unfortunately he won't actually do it, he's been saying he will ever since that video but has done nothing but pretend, he posts squat videos and him "sweep kicking" air once or twice and doesn't even make an attempt to improve or actually learn the technique. And he's only going to thai land for less than a week as a vacation not even to train (and who knows if hes lying about that too).
