Watch 36,000 Children Do Synchronised Martial Arts To M.I.A.

How popular is M.I.A. in China? About 36,000 choreographed child fighters popular.

The rabble-rousing rapper recently collaborated with GENER8ION for the single “The New International Sound Pt. II”, though the video is likely to gather more attention than the song itself.

Directed by Inigo Westmeier and adapted from his 2012 documentary Dragon Girls, it features approximately 36,000 young martial artists performing a synchronised routine. No CGI. All real.

Watch the clip below and doubt your very eyes.

Side note: Now that M.I.A. has an army, should we be worried?
