“When your parents force you”: Netzines cannot help but compare to small kickboxer

• Kickboxing is a combination of different arts.
• Twitter users related the boy’s reaction to their childhood self.
• He can be seen landing a punch on a punching bag.

The Internet has been won over by a young boy’s kickboxing moves, which do not entail kicks or punches, but rather his pitiful facial expressions. “When your parents force you to do something,” Twitter user Figen captioned the clip. While many netizens compared the boy’s mood with other real-life scenarios, some pointed out that comparing the child with someone advanced is not correct.

Many netizens drew parallels between the boy’s disposition and times in their own childhoods in which they were pushed to pursue activities in which they had little interest.

The viral video shows a youngster happily participating in a kickboxing class. However, as the camera zooms in, a younger boy can be seen in the background who clearly did not want to participate. He throws half-hearted punches into the air and appears ready to burst into tears at any minute. In the background, a third youngster is seen laughing at this, and a father tells him to be quiet.
