This video perfectly illustrates why not to sign up to your local police force if you’re rhythmically challenged.

Cue the Benny Hill music for this one. The poor Chinese police recruit seen in the video, no matter how hard he tries, cannot for the life of him march in step with his fellow future officers.

Just how hard can it be to march with your opposite arm coming forward? Extremely difficult for this guy.

In the video we see a young man, shirt hanging out, positioned in front of about 30 other recruits. These men are training for the Urban Administrative and Law Enforcement Bureau (a local government agency found in all cities in China), according to the YouTube video. The group leader, wearing camouflage fatigues, seems patient at first with the young man’s inability to march in step but gradually becomes more frustrated, slapping the uncoordinated trainee’s hand down whenever he gets it wrong, which is a large percentage of the time.

At one stage the trainee seems to have mastered the step and the squad leader appears to praise him for finally getting it right.

Oops, spoke to soon. Next step he gets it wrong again, and gets berated once more.

I guess you just can’t help it if your body wants to move the arm together with the leg on the same side. At this point, the group of recruits can’t hold back anymore and we can hear muffled laughter.

Looks like this young man has a lot more marching practice ahead of him before he moves on to small firearms.

Check out this year’s mind-boggling edition of a now legendary synchronized group marching performance by Tokyo university students!

The annual exhibition showcase by students from Tokyo’s Nippon Sport Science University has become an annual event which people across the country look forward to year after year. Now in its 53rd year, the exhibition was recently held on November 11 at Yokohama Arena and featured live performances such as gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline jumping, as well as the perpetual crowd-favorite–synchronized group marching exercises.

The performance features a large number of students marching perfectly in sync to a highly choreographed, fast-paced 10-minute routine. The students line up in perfectly straight lines, make sharp 90-degree turns, turn their bodies at the exact same step, and effortlessly break into smaller groups, all while swinging their arms and legs in completely harmonized movements.

Perhaps the highlight of the routine is when the smaller tightly-knit groups walk towards each other and indeed pass through each other’s groups, only to stay in perfect formation with not a single crash the entire time. To top it off, they perform this feat not just once, but repeatedly, undoubtedly making the rest of us look like nothing more than a bunch of clumsy, bumbling baboons with two left feet.

See the magic for yourself in the video below:

Note: We’ve found that the above video is locked for some viewers in the U.S. and elsewhere. However, you can still enjoy the performance by watching the following video taken by a spectator at the event, which is visible for everyone regardless of location.

We don’t even want to think about how many hours of practice it took to perfect that routine. Any guesses?
