How to do the Asian squat

[hihihui1]

it's also retarded. If you're tired just fucken sit.

[brissallie]

Lately I've realized that children can do the asian squat naturally without any problems, and some of them are non-asians.

[anhisking]

@brissallie thats cos the human body is born with the ability to squat, but because of shitty modern lifestyles once people reach like age 12 they cant even squat 1/4 way down

[RainbowPants17]

I can't do it.. D:

[Tomalelep]

Lmfao, I didn't know there was something difficult in this, I've always been able to do this and I'm not even asian.

[brissallie]

At the beginning is complicated to do this posture but then is a little bit comfortable :p

[stephenshwmac]

@brissallie Just remember the three steps to a perfect squat! :)

[brissallie]

@stephenshwmac I'm glad because I have done the asian squat!!! and I'd rather than the western one :p

[angryaznman]

india had to do it because they dont have chairs or tables. they sit on the ground and eat with their hands.

[604josh]

Lold so hard.

[Teenssj2]

Like à sahmbooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO DEE.

[SilentMusicianX]

Lol Go Asians =D

[Ksharp1fan]

this is bullshit asian propaganda not only asians can squat like that everyone can except white people.

how about calling it the oriental or the non-western squat.

[jetsal]

@Ksharp1fan

Grow up.

[danaseilhan]

@Ksharp1fan where have you been?  No one says "oriental" anymore.

[Ksharp1fan]

@danaseilhan

maybe but my point is that not only "asians" can do this squat people in africa, the middle east, and asia all can do it so it's not fair to call it the asian squat.

[endlessace]

That's how I take a crap back home...

[lilaznboy93]

I LITERALLY HOWLED AT 2:46. The dude who was squatting was like, "wtf did you do that for?"

[NickiSwe95]

This explains why I'm so bad at going to many of the toilets I've seen in Asia, those 'wholes in the ground'.

[teensinthemaking]

tapioca milk tea? wtf, its BUBBLE TEA!!!!

[minzino]

THE ORIGINAL OWLING!!! LOL!!!



[anakonna]

This video might have changed my life forever.

[ArthurDeBisu]

Hey guys! Don't waste your $ on clothes or perfume or your hair, just try the asian squat like any successful alpha male, and you can get any chick in the world! Trust me, that works for me!!!

[miagabayan10]

aylabet coz am asian and since i was a kid, i do this when im tired of standing or while waiting. nobody thought me, just it runs in the asian blood lol

[V3NOMXIII]

I'm asian and I can't asian squat :(

[Industriallity]

@V3NOMXIII FAIL :D

[V3NOMXIII]

@Industriallity I know...

[Kastoob]

Asian squats are good for hip flexibility, people should try to do these.

[aznboy88]

Lol, Dr. Mario Ezekiel Chang-Goldstein.

[8sondy7]

white people just need to turn out their knees!

[TheArceus12345]

Which asian? the chinese or indian?

[dim5rov]

lol, i thought that was gonna be a work out video..... hahah that was funny tho. :)

[esca8652]

I just got through trying this and I can do it with my foot planted on the ground but I can't keep half my foot planted on the ground. I don't know if that makes any sense, the long way half of my foot won't stay on the ground.

[illSerenadeYourMum]

i'd hate to be the guy demonstrating the western squat, even 30 seconds of having your knees that far over your toes can really hurt your kneees.



[hkj73]

Agree with crabking05, this squat is not Asian. This is the proper way of squatting!! Lifting the heal of the floor is the improper way of squatting. Enroll in any fitness certification program & this is the 1st thing they'll teach you when squats are discussed!

[CrabKing05]

This isnt really an asian squat. You can see people in other parts of the world squat like this. People squat like this to take a shit before toilets where invented as cavemen, squatting like this is quite natural. Baby's squat like this all the time, just throw a quarter on the ground and you'll see how they pick it up.

[danaseilhan]

@CrabKing05 On the other hand it's funny how several Asian cultures seem to have gotten a handle on various aspects of body science, even if they use symbolic language to explain it (i.e., acupuncture or Ayurveda). I'm not saying they *always* get the right answer or solve the problem but they tend to tackle the stuff not requiring heroics or major surgery rather well. So the adjective is still somewhat appropriate.

[RnRnR]

I'm gonna be a squat researcher when I grow up! *o*

[ITRLOVER]

omg lol

[Colerosity]

I actually used this to learn the asian squat.

[Mr420chuy]

Wtf

[lilstripaRabbit20884]

I'm too american to do that asian squat. my body just can't do it.

[js290]

@lilstripaRabbit20884 Squatting is a completely skeletal position. No muscles involved. If you can't get into the squatting position, it's a sure sign you have problems with your musculature.

[tntkim]

The Asian squat is not recommended for those with hypertension, arthritis, inner ear problems or unusually large breasts. LOL!

[Razzledazles]

frick, i'm asian and ive always been doin the western squat. didnt know what i was missing out on

[deatXbyXchocolate335]

I'm asian and I can't do that.

[SandwidgeVids]

this made me rofl

[edbiology]

asian squat is perfect for smoking a cigarette.

[mxdmama]

i dont see why some people cant do it??? lol

[sawayui]

i bet everyone one tried it after watching this video

[tlast2O12dude]

funny and true

[RageOfArtemis]

I wish I could do it! I need to do a thing called a Teapot in Ice Skating, which is asian squatting and holding a leg out. I wish I was asian.

[IImidnightshow]

what an annoying documentary.

[darkdemon4566]

its easy for asians cus they have short legs so it makes it comfortable but for westerns, being r legs r longer and not as stuby makes it uncomfortable

[RapidEyesCream]

@darkdemon4566 No it is not about leg length. Westerns have short achilles tendons - they are not as developed after sitting on chairs all their lives. Just look it up.

Asians brought up in the West cannot do the "asian" squat either. Your butt has to touch the back of your ankles.

[mattyjay1234]

@RapidEyesCream Anyone can do the asian squat, it has nothing to do with tendon length, it's all about your mobility. If you sit on your ass all day and never stretch your hamstrings and hip flexors get tight as fuck.

[TheRealKenSteele]

Man, this Asian squat is KILLING my shins. I think my massive dick and and meaty balls are throwing my gravity off because this shit isn't more comfortable.

[SuperstarRichardG]

@TheRealKenSteele

massive dick? you sure it's not your sagging balls?

[EmotionalShredd]

asians seem to have a very perfect philosophy of body controllings

[xXxstunner]

thank you :D

[ttlyluvsasuke247]

I can't do the asian squat, I keep falling T^T

[BlackNekoSins]

LOL

[mmaier2112]

ZZZAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG!!!!!­!!!!!!

[brokenpromisedreams2]

Video is most viewd by White males 25-44 What the fuck?

[celestexxwolf]

I do this all the time...........dint know it had a name.....YAY FOR THE ASIAN SQUAT!!

[Artharrex123]

I'm a Australian born asian, and whenever i go overseas to visit my cousins, there are always people chilling on the streets, and socialising, we apparently do the " asian squat " whenever we are tired.

[beerhands]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

[viciouspistols]

@funforfamilyfun haha that's not even true i had sex with an asian guy and it was the best sex i ever !!

[aquaknot]

Asian squat makes me want to poo.

[XJoshXHeox]

rofl at 2:50

[daohoa799]

lol western squat ..... haha lmao

[iExD]

lol

[PMsuperboy]

ASIANS ARE COOL!!! IM AN ASIAN TOO!

[chewymilkybar]

lmao, oh wow. I just tried this (white) and I totally pulled a western squat and went out of balance.

[brandenkalior009]

the squat is awesome!!

[own8ge]

i can do it, bt i cant rest my elbows (upper arms) on my leggs.. help? :P

[HayatoFernandes]

mostly asian gangsters do this kinda squating

[kevyong]

AZN SQUAT THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!

[freshfromthebest]

I'm Asian and whenever u try to sqaut I fall over :(

[Kimbop718]

whoooot! Asian squat!

[danieldedaldo]

It's easy but I'd rather just cooly sit on the streat...

[DKerelchuk]

These squats are significantly less comfortable when you have 32 inch thighs :P

[ZeroxLim]

@firepoop100

WOW, what the F

[arthurd123]

@firepoop100 LOL , nice!

[Nirvana32058]

@firepoop100 LMFAO if this is a true story I give you mad props man! Congratz!

[T3CKADEMIC]

@firepoop100 Really! Fuck thats a movie in the making

[edbiology]

@firepoop100 fucking bs lol

[eliskander]

now I know!

[AIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA]

LOLOLOL

[NuclearKhan]

yeah

Asians are better at squatting than white people.

I remember all the white kids back in school were surprised that I could squat. LOL

[YemmyBear]

well asians are smaller compared to westerners so our small bodies pull this off easier?

[xiyuemaa]

westerners i can understand if they cant do the squat ... but wth wat kinda azn doesnt know how to it?!?!?!?

[Taxi10152]

who comes up with this.lol

[chiconspiracy]

Westerners with their chairs and smith machines... terrible. Everyone should learn to do this.

[xXxJonesprodigyxXx]

Amazing -_-

[WoXiHuanJayChou]

lol this is really hard! i feel like all my muscles stretching when i do it :D

[yodiggettyyoya]

i no right!!! its not as easy as it looks!!!

[hateliars2008]

it is funny, it is so natural for us, but western people have to do research on it and learn how to do it??wow,, I can't believe this could be the problem for a human, what is the problem for their knees ?

[chazkm]

next episode they are going to demonstrate the Black squat. Its some dude in prison in an orange jump suit smoking a ciggerette. His squat is gonna have swagg to it.

[sw33tbay]

looks like everyone taking shits on the street..":D

[RacoonBurglar]

u made me spit out water

[gunshoot0]

@RacoonBurglar hahaha lol

[whitewing15]

i love how overly complicated and tested that was!lol

[pottyab]

this is y asians can become ninjas or can jump off walls and stuff :O! jackie chan, jet lee o.o

[zrk9a]

is it me or is squatting rather...un-gentlemenly?

[smuzziesrus]

wow man ican reallyy feel the diffrence

[maxc16]

WTF i cant do asian i do the white squat! LOL is this genetic?

[Unclevertitle]

The difference from what I can tell is the angle of the knees with respect to the body. If your knees are forward generally speaking your heels will come up to compensate in balance as more of your weight is forward.

The "Asian squat" has the knees angled outwards somewhat so it's much easier to balance and your heels stay on the ground.

Personally I can't do either for extended periods cause when my knees are bent that far for too long it cuts off the circulation in my legs.

[limpei1]

its not. everyone can do it. i am asian and i cant do it too but i know the problem because i never stretch much i always slack and have problems with sit and reach

[AReyesJKD]

Hysterical!  Loved it.

[canaan1967]

Why didn't i think of that?  It felt pretty good. I'll think of you next time I practice.

[mepYT]

Interesting... I can do the Asian squat but causes pain in the ... front calves? whatever that muscle is called. seems like I need to do some stretching there

[nahimnot]

..shins..?

[mepYT]

i thought thats a bone and not a muscle? anyway the latin name is "M. tibialis anterior" as far as I found out

[Pathogen08]

It's actually much harder for Europeans to squat for extended periods of time, even if you're doing it "right". Our physiques are slightly different than East Asians. They are better evolved for the cold climate, which makes their bodies stockier, with long torsos and short legs. I have very short legs for a European, and I have no problem squatting for hours, but most of my taller, longer-legged friends can't handle it for more than a few minutes without significant pain.

[meelar1]

not as hard as listening to you for extented periods of time you maingy hobitt fuck,suppose the squatting comes in handy when your getting bummed by your uncle

[Pathogen08]

The tibialis anterior is a muscle, yes.

[canaan1967]

I can't do it with my heels touching th ground. Does anyoe have any tips?  SHould I just practice?

[Shnazzzy]

practice with a hammer placed vertically below your asshole and you will learn the asian squat rather quickly

[lionelttl]

this is rather racist.

[mindeh15]

wow! before reading the comments, i really thought all people could naturally do this squat!

hahah! funny.. maybe cuz im asian. :D

[ogatobranco]

Nice infomative video ... funny way to presenting such info, i squat in both ways depending on what i'm doing... i actually sit on heels when squating in western way ...

[ChibiVaati]

I wish there was a MST3K episode featuring this.

[misterhed]

I didn't know anyone squats with their heels lifted up. Why would you do that?

[andrewpika]

nammer squat

[SinStoryz]

lol, i'm asian..you don't see me squat everywhere i go..

[simpatic14]

c'mon this is normal...everyone can do this :D

[Ktotheane]

My ex girlfriend did that.. its cute =)

[drlizmiller]

this is great! I have been wondering about squatting for a while and I now realise I have been trying to do it the western way! - feet further apart! and heels flat on the ground

[KoRayInc]

are you guys all retarded?!

its obvoiusly a joke.

[AllyvAnimations]

it may be a joke, but its by no means unreal! Asian people really do squat like this :P

[jacks0003]

This is how everyone squats. is this for real?

[Azndude994]

the fk ? LOL

[Daphnegirl93]

LOL, whenever I try it, I either hurt my feet or fall over. I can't do it! xD

[SolaceNocturne]

LMAO. They got all those people at the end around 4:10 chillen in a squat. "Everyone's doing it". Uhm.. no they're not. haha.

[AkaTurfunk]

hahaha the asian squat is not recommended for people who have unusually large breasts

[chineseboy888]

huh. i just noticed i squat like that.... it just came naturally. :)

[AnotherBoii]

its normal! haha!

[stepani]

My family calls it the "Filipino Squat"... we were unaware other Asians did it too! :)

[misule21]

lol. i cant do it at all! i keep falling over. but my husband can do it with no problem at all! and neither of us are asian!

[sneakerboiiz]

[xrangerx]

This is very informative, i shall practice three times a day

[Xcstasyz]

We call it Nam squat over here,

Well anyways l Nam Squat whenever lm on my chair eatting rice.

[Cat307]

i cannot do this squat.. im asian and i just cant do it.. my heels wont stay down!

[PsychotikSquirell]

Wow, I'm asian and I've never heard of the asian squat.

[kenrhea105]

An interesting little clip. I have actually seen Asian's squat next to a row of seats while waiting for someone in a shop. It confused me as to why they didnt just sit on the seats provided, but whatever....

[vietprideee]

its a little long, but cool

[iWENLi131]

hahaha

i do this but i didnt know its another asian stereotypee

my baby cousin does this too :D shes so cuteeeeee hahah

[duba3988]

[zeetran]
