Everyone knows the chancla is mightier 😂

[–]harry_not_potter 512 points513 points  (9 children)

Especially the abuelitas and their ninja-level chancla-throwing skills

[–]Loofyboy 148 points149 points  (8 children)

Basically my grandmother in Mexico could rock me, heck even my mother.

[–]InnocentlyButtery 45 points46 points  (7 children)

legendary chancla at its finest.

[–]Shurigin 52 points53 points  (6 children)

not just mexico has these abilities either essentially every latin country and the philippines too

[–]sirseatbelt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was watching the Ms Marvel movie with my friend, who is Mexican. And she was about to do something that her mother wouldn't like and he yelled "Girl you can't do that your parents are brown! You're gonna get your ass whooped."

It made me laugh so hard. It seems like the slipper is a pretty universal punishment tool.

[–]daffmastter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't forget about New Zealand.. and pretty much every South Pacific island nation

[–]nomnommish 4 points5 points  (2 children)

In India, chancla is called a chappal and is absolutely the favored weapon of choice for moms.

[–]Flexoharry 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I thought hitting people with shoes in India was extremely offensive?

[–]nomnommish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but the chancla/chappal is absolutely the weapon of choice for moms. Mom rules are different

[–]Master1223347_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget Asia!!!

[–]darthjazzhands 93 points94 points  (7 children)

The Katana and chancla… the ka-chancla

[–]whereisarctica 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Which is almost as dangerous as throwing a cat chonker!

[–]PastDefinitionj 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man the first time I thought he hit his chin with the top of his sword when spinning it. Was surprised at the sandal warfare. Those things are solid wood!

[–]aargames 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Chacla-tana 🤔 I think it sounds better ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–]darthjazzhands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has one more syllable but is still funny

[–]username193747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weapon of destruction!

[–]imanAholebutimfunny 1 point2 points  (1 child)

i see a sword with a flip flop handle but somehow when wielded correctly is most deadly

[–]darthjazzhands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a maneuver. A deadly combo attack as shown

[–]pusherofrope 429 points430 points  (20 children)

Threw a sandal to his head

[–]SmutDiary 429 points430 points  (19 children)

Was a ninja, now he's dead

[–]uncutlife 302 points303 points  (18 children)

Mama, the fight had just begun..

[–]LackingUtility 306 points307 points  (17 children)

But now I’ve gone and thrown my shoe away…

[–]meanblazinlolz 193 points194 points  (16 children)

Mama's sandal, ohhhOhhhhohh!

[–]BearGetsYou 157 points158 points  (7 children)

Any way the shoe throws.

[–]sweaver2021 105 points106 points  (4 children)

[–]GreatGooglyMoogly077 27 points28 points  (3 children)

The shoe is all that mattersssss ....

[–]chriscrossnathaniel 50 points51 points  (2 children)

If the shoe's not returned again this time tomorrow,

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

[–]nywacaokde 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why am I singing The whole thread along?

[–]DarkSaber1404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too late, the shoe is thrown. Got a shiver down my feet, where the shoe once have been.

[–]nkcellz 20 points21 points  (4 children)

Didn’t mean to throw your sandal

[–]anotherimbaud 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Beelzebub has a sandal put aside for meeee FOR MEEEE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[–]cachonfinga 7 points8 points  (2 children)

So you think you can flip me a chancla and hit my eye?

[–]MutedRestaurant22 575 points576 points  (4 children)

[–]XDYassineDX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Northern africans as well

[–]imallwayzconfused 450 points451 points  (9 children)

Why even follow with a sword attack? That was brutal enough. Opponent would run

[–]NoOneNameLeft 123 points124 points  (2 children)

running is good. never coming back is better

[–]PondLake 15 points16 points  (1 child)

That was one of the best opener in Who. I like 11th.

[–]ragan0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]marck1022 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]P1nk-D1amond 357 points358 points  (40 children)

A true shinobi knows the difference between honour and victory…

[–]DonBarbas13 205 points206 points  (31 children)

There's no such thing as honor in a fight, there only winners and losers who had honor.

[–]lemonsneeker 78 points79 points  (16 children)

Oh the Shinobi were definately not always winners

See the massacre of Iga by Oda Nobunaga and co, shit was fucking brutal, they killed an entire state after a smaller force of 2k got thrashed. Nobunaga was pissed because his son lead that smaller force, and he had to disown him for the failure. He beheaded everyone in a province. I mean they probably didnt find some people, but they beheaded everyone they could find, regardless of age, or involvement.

[–]KaiBluePill 39 points40 points  (7 children)

After the last phrase i imagined a 2 years old, crawling into battle with a Tanto in his mouth, slowly standing up in the middle of the war and hitting everyone in the knees.

After the war he would crawl home but his nation would recognize his actions as brutal war crimes and so he got sentenced to death by Seppuku.

[–]lemonsneeker 28 points29 points  (5 children)

This is better writing than most over romanticised fuedal japan stories, and people lap that shit up, just sayin.

[–]KaiBluePill 13 points14 points  (4 children)

I love to make up random stories but usually either i write really short ones like this or i start writing a giant ass paragraph and by the end my brain attacks me with the "why do you care? This is stupid and no one would laugh at this".

[–]Soul-Maker 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Not all we’re killed but the only reason some survived is because Nobunaga let them

[–]coolaidman2 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Also exists just losers and honourless winners

[–]lurkenstine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ehh, when the winner writes the history, they'll make sure to add the honor

For a second there I thought white shirt hit himself in the face with his own Boken trying to be flashy..

[–]Bosschebollie01 15 points16 points  (1 child)

yeah, it looked like he didn't even intend to grab it with two hands at any point

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the whole thing was a staged exhibition. No serious bokken artist would fling his scabbard like it was some Chinese stung sword. Then again, he kinda looks like a goof anyway.

[–]claudekennilol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to watch it a few more times after you said this, even with the slomo I didn't see the sandal at first

[–]MarkedBadger 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The sandal is mightier

[–]FrenchDeveloper55 51 points52 points  (17 children)

Disrespectful but so skilled!

[–]Richter_66 29 points30 points  (16 children)

And nobody would overreact like that if it were any kind of actual competiton

[–]TheBeast1981 7 points8 points  (9 children)

FR... Do people really think that in case of a battle someone will turn his back because of a shoe to the face??

[–]KittuTheManiac 21 points22 points  (0 children)

...have you ever had a shoe to face at full force my love?

[–]Em_Haze 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Does this look like a real battle?

[–]forgot_old_acct 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Honestly... the man hadn't assumed a proper stance, clearly didn't expect to he hit, and then received (basically) a light jab directly to the chin. I would fully expect an untrained or inexperienced person to flinch and turn, because that's the natural defensive instinct. If that blow had any real power it would've knocked him out

[–]Embarrassed_Quit_450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a kata, the point is to practice a choreography not to fight.

[–]parabolaralus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Unfortunately, most of the throwables did jack shit.

Holy hell, did I have fun throwing katanas and rapiers though!

[–]Dramatic_Mixture_868 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That took me a couple of times to see what happened. At first i thought it was cuz he twirled it. Anywho.....yes....chancla power for the win.

My wife's sister did this to me once dancing at a wedding.

I dodged the shoe, but part of me wishes I'd just let it hit me in the face and thrown myself dramatically to the floor.

My dad did this to me... I was like 12? Doing karate since around 6, got all big and clever after my green belt, went outside to spar with my dad, he legit just flicked his slipper off and fired it at my head, I remember it well, hit me right in the eye, I cried, he laughed, we both laughed... I'm 43 now, I'd totally see that coming, reckon I could just push my dad over... He's old and unfit whereas I'm just unfit.

[–]BroChadman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was young I found out my dad used to do karate and it got me really interested in learning. I was about 12 at the time and my dad had me pretty late in life so he was about 40ish, I was a fairly shy child so he signed us both up so I wouldn't be anxious on my own. Got to green belt and absolutely loved sparring. Every Saturday dad would beat me sensless with jumper cables then we would go to karate and spar together.

And then there's the difference between sparring and a real fight. In a real fight you'd just ignore the slap. That "technique" would rarely work.
