# Homeless Man Doing Kung Fu Homeless Man Doing Kung Fu is a viral TikTok clip of a South African man throwing kung fu strikes on the street, posted by @oom_jan_the_china in October 2023. It blew up in November when creators recaptioned it as a homeless character and paired it with Hoop Angel style jokes and Jujutsu Kaisen domain expansion edits. ## Overview Homeless Man Doing Kung Fu is a short clip of a South African man throwing kung fu strikes in the street, filmed and posted by TikTok user @oom_jan_the_china in October 2023[1]. Some recuts circulate under the names Homeless Man Doing Karate or Homeless Man Domain Expansion, depending on which edit picked them up[3]. The footage moved in two waves. The raw clips first went viral on their own as watchable oddity content, then editors added captions calling the man a homeless person and dropped the instrumental of Babykjj's "High Off Life" underneath, which became the default backing track for the stylized cuts[3]. ## How It Spread In mid-November 2023, TikTokers began reposting the clip with captions framing the man as homeless, folding him into the "microwaved honey bun at a homeless man" bit and other ironic anti-homeless jokes tied to TikToker Hoop Angel earlier that year. One of the earliest of these edits came from @iambandhunter[2] on November 16th, 2023 and pulled in more than 9.6 million views within ten days[3]. A run of stylized edits followed. On November 21st, 2023, @salami_b23[5] posted a version that crossed 2 million views in six days. The next day, @.jayxedit[4] released a Jujutsu Kaisen domain expansion cut of the footage that hit 24 million views in five days, the biggest single edit of the wave. On November 23rd, TikToker @bfarr2006 posted hand-drawn redraws of the choreography that added roughly 240,000 views over four days. ## How to Use Edits typically freeze on one of the man's kung fu strikes, layer captions in the Hoop Angel "violence against homeless people" style, and drop the instrumental of Babykjj's "High Off Life" underneath[3]. Anime crossover cuts often overlay a Jujutsu Kaisen domain expansion effect at the moment he opens his stance[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Homeless Man Doing Kung Fu?
