‘Kung fu grandpa’ does flawless one-foot split against traffic light
‘Kung fu grandpa’ does flawless one-foot split against traffic light
2026-08-05
A passionate kung fu practitioner in Kaohsiung has become something of a local legend for his very public Shaolin-esque training. The man can often be seen balancing atop YouBike docks, or pulling his leg straight up in the air to do a formidable one-foot standing split against a traffic light. A video of him performing the stunts went viral online, with many admiring his commitment to the craft, and even drawing comparisons between him and bygone martial artists from the movies.
A man wearing a hat appears to be leaning right up against the traffic light pole. Already a strange sight, but not as shocking as the view from the front: a flawless one-foot standing split. The video went viral online, where hundreds were shocked by the kung fu master hiding in plain sight.
Others compared him to Mighty Steel Leg, Stephen Chow’s character in the Hong Kong classic Shaolin Soccer. Mastery of this skill is not for everyone. The man, who appears to be in his 50s, seemed fully at ease practicing the move at a pole on the street.
- That’s impressive.
- Could you do it?
- No way.
- He’s alright. Everyone can do that, even me.
- You can?
- Nah, I’m just pulling your leg.
And kung fu grandpa’s skills don’t end at leg flexibility. Some have seen him training his balance atop YouBike parking docks, 70cm from the ground. He regularly comes to this part of town to practice.
Voice of local
Kaohsiung
If I get here a little earlier, at 8, I usually see him on the bridge. He comes out even if it’s hot, under the scorching sun. He’s always doing static exercises and stretches. He’s just focused on himself, not on anything happening round him.
The man’s identity remains unknown but just in case any copycats get inspired, be reminded that the YouBike pillars have fragile sensors. So if you want to practice butterfly kicks or the praying mantis stance, be sure to abide by the Shaolin code and take care of public property.

驚見少林足球"一字馬絕技" 阿伯貼號誌桿"高舉腳練武功"
2026-08-05
電影少林足球中，周星馳飾演的五師兄多次施展腰馬合一的一字馬絕技，高雄也有民眾目擊，有50、60歲的阿伯整隻腳高舉過頭，貼著路旁號誌桿做起一字馬，驚呼是筋骨軟Q神人，甚至也有其他網友說，曾經看過這位阿伯用YouBike停車柱練平衡感，整個市區都是他的練武場。
畫面拍下，戴帽子的阿伯緊貼著號誌桿不動，鏡頭轉到正面，他竟然整隻腳高舉過頭，展現傳說中的一字馬。民眾將畫面PO上網，驚呼高手在民間，網友紛紛回應，大師兄回來了。
電影少林足球中，周星馳飾演的角色不只一次施展一字馬絕技，一般人根本做不來。畫面中的阿伯看來年約50歲，抱著號誌桿高舉右腿，做起一字馬，真的是阿伯有練過。
- 有，超厲害
- 你自己拉得到嗎?
- 我拉不到
- 不厲害，太多了，這種人太多了，我都可以
- 喔你可以嗎?
- 沒有啦，我吹牛的啦
不只是要有軟Q筋骨的一字馬，也有民眾目擊他站上超過70公分高的UBIKE停車柱，大練平衡感。馬路邊隨處都是他練武的身影，不少民眾都曾經目擊。

“我要是早一點，八點多，就會在橋上看到他，有時候很熱，我覺得太陽很大，他還是在那邊，他都是靜態在運動，靜態拉筋，就是有一種獨立超然，不問世事那一種感覺”
神秘的阿伯到底是誰目前還沒辦法得知。不過還是要提醒，UBIKE停車柱上都有感應版，阿伯你要是有看到新聞，記得下次要愛惜公物，畢竟練武還是要顧江湖道義。
