Gymnast Katelyn Ohashi Takes on the US Marine Obstacle Course 

*Kneels down to help you the way Austen initially helped Katelyn*

It’s so true though. She’s 4’8 - she literally couldn’t be a Marine if she wanted to. This course is short unfriendly!

She's short so it's hard for her to do most of the obstacles so I don't blame her

Same I’m 14 and am 5’0”

5'3 I do it at least once a year in them boots and Utes.

Lol, gymnasts learn how to fall with minimum impact on their bodies

@@Ms.Opinionated Haha, I know. I just thought that part was really funny.

@@andreahenning8076 its all good

That was so funny

But like 4 mins later she drops on her butt because she couldn't reach 😂😂😂

4'10"... No i think she is closer to 3'10"

The obstacle is plainly designed for men.

@Plamen Stoev you must the funny guy in party's xd

Why does my brain automatically plays the riff when I read "the trooper"

yep, she rocked it

Not just a heart. Allow her to train this course for a while and she would crush it. She is Katelyn Ohashi, a former competitive super athlete. Neither of these two guys would be able to beat her once she had trained the course to her standard of perfection. She is such a gem !!! ❤❤❤

She didn't complete the course.sge needed a physical lift just to start it. A marine wouldn't have received any help.

@@Frank-sm9yl marine would be higher than 4.10 she was amazing

@@Frank-sm9ylthey should resize the course for a 7 foot person, and watch those marines fail 😅. She was awesome.

You can be short but still be good at parkour

KV flips, well, if you’re that small you probably won’t get into the marines, this is a reason. So height matters....

Yes. Also because of her body type she has more weight in the lower part of her body. So when the guys have to pull themselves up, they already have most of their weight over the obstacle, while she still has to lift it. E.g. the part with the elbows.

Yeah, not being to go into the ‘college boy roll’ with momentum is what killed her on that. They leveraged their forward momentum into that loop and she was doing it from a standing start because of the height issue.

Benjamin 5’0 former Marine here. I had no problem the taller females didn’t have. I’ve seen girls shorter then me accomplish the o-course with few problems. Please don’t discredit us shorties! The biggest problem is fear of falling/failing and of course the yelling.

This is actually incorrect. Minimum for females is 4'10 and for males it is 5'0. Just FYI.

Exactly she is tiny people forget that. She doesn’t meet the height requirements

@@sandrasalinas9787 Yes she does your just to dumb to listen

I did it my first time easy. Most of us did. Her height got in the way: otherwise she did a fantastic job!

That’s a lie. My sister is 4’11

Exactly

It’s all about technique. Being short is a massive disadvantage on this course but it’s still doable, and quickly. Reference being I’m 5’3.

@@austin8776 For her first run through, she did well. Im 5'1 and I can't even scale a 4ft fence.

@@celifacejones she did do pretty well for her first run through. I was just saying at this massive height disadvantage, it's still doable at a high speed, just harder and much more technique driven.

Another foot taller she would have passed. Not bad considering her height.

Well, she trained gymnastics for years. Falling is par for the course.

Her upper body strength isn't going to be in the same stratosphere as either of these guys. I was in the USMC in the 90s, and infantry training requires a lot of lifting heavy gear and upper body strength.

and i guess the marines got a good supply of roids

@@AKSBSU plus I don't think she specializes in bar...she has better leg strength and that's why she's able to so many high jumps in her floor routines

She’s 4’10

@@ascend3654 We were drug tested regularly back then, and it's probably more extensive now. I'm taking nothing away from her as a gymnast, BTW. I've also been into physical martial arts like judo and Brazilian jujitsu, and I could only do basic flips, rolls, and cartwheels related to training. She would make me look like a fool in her domain. I couldn't do 0.1% of what she can do in gymnastics. I'm just talking about pure upper body strength.

@@europeanguy8773 and the male gymnasts are superior to the women...There are videos on this

Right !

Definitely makes me re consider what I was never good at...😳😂

Ummmm.... that was actually rather slow.

She failed essentially every part of the course but yea, let's act like she was graceful and did not *clearly struggle* on ropes

@Jerrol Hale yeah. The gazelles do it all the time in middle school.

This inspired me to go park & try it out 😒 kids park first (vertical challenge)😏

I didn’t realize she was that short. She did great!

I wasn’t sure if these guys are enormous or she’s tiny lol now I know she’s tiny

The course is made for men, that's why the obstacles are so tall. Also, she has terrible arm strength.

I was looking in the comments for her height, goddamn she's pretty good. I have 7 inches on her and I can't even do the basic bits.

@K Gehringer or, she did fantastically despite a lot of challenges

@K Gehringer I think I’d really enjoy watching people negatively critique you while you’re doing the exact same course.

@K Gehringer I find that there's two types of Marines. Those that are decent people that are able to acknowledge the challenges people face congratulate them for doing the best they can with what they have, and those who join the Marines to get a superiority complex. There is no in between.

She didn't nail it, lol

Finally, a comment that explains what happened. From what I know of gymnastics, I saw 0 reason for her to be struggling so much. However, retired and injured makes a big difference

Ideal words. Investments have always been the best alternative; having multiple investments increases your benefits and provides you with other revenue streams.

I realized the benefits of investing. My source of income had previously been my job. But I lost my job when the pandemic started and I had to live with the little I had in my savings which really affected my plans.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. For the past four years, my income has never been dependent on any firm or work place, because I chose to invest and the more money I get the more I seek for new investment opportunities.

The thing that most impressed me about John Joseph was that he wasn't simply an expert in forex; he was also interested in stocks, cryptocurrencies, and other more substantial assets. He is the reason my investments have performed well. Since then, I've been investing with him, so I can now use the money I get from our trades to invest in real estate.

This is amazing. How can I reach this John Joseph? I'm close to retirement and I think Investing would be worth a shot.

The Marines recruit more for track and field type of athletes than weight lifting meatheads. You will not be viewed with respect as an athlete and even as a Marine in general if you fall out if a run or a "hump," a long march through tough terrain with heavy gear, even if you can bench press a car. There are body builders in the USMC, but they have to have strong cardio or they will be viewed as unfit ("unsat" using their term) to be a Marine.

Only thing that got me was that she couldn’t do the pull over in the beginning. She was an Olympic gymnast who lost the ability to do a pull over? It’s literally the first thing they teach gymnasts. Not hating and I know this is just for fun, but that was disheartening.

@@blah7983 No way

Blah Oh god she’s my height!

No, it',s not is she's a gymnast, actually is pretty poor...

Yeah she's a proper short arse

Yes, considering they have springboards to get up on the equipment and mats when you fall. Here she can walk under the things she's supposed to get on, ha. Would love to see Biles take this on.

Why? Because shes a little woman?

Her performance is really disappointing the fact that she's a gymnast and csnt do ONE pull up is just wow and just incase anybody feeling like bringing it up her height has little to do with outside of her not being able to reach the bar I've seen short people do crazy things height isnt an excuse

It’s not that she’s short, it’s that she’s never trained in doing all that. If they gave her a week in practicing the course, she would be going through it in a breeze.

Wow, is she really

Mario Morua Brent did it and his friends

Absolutely!

Blazed Blocks I don’t know who they are. Whats the video link.

@shy boy you're so gross

Not every guy thinks like that. As crazy as it seems, some dudes just see her as a little sister

Yep

@D Bo see that's why Joshes are sliding into your girls DMs as we speak

@Heenan Harley You know it’s not an actual test, right? It’s online entertainment.... she’s not actually trying to become a marine. She didn’t train for this, she didn’t go through boot camp-it’s for views and clicks on the internet. Relax a little 😂

OnePunchBrand Yeah probably

OnePunchBrand nice one :)

Yeah, it's all too tall for her cus the obstacles are virtually made for big, tall men 😅

Nope. She’s 4-10 and the height requirement for female marines in 4-10. She just needs more practice.

@OnePunchBrand but it would save her life in combat, or help her reach things in the kitchen

Yep, especially that landing split. ...

😂😂😂

Damn right, I'll guarantee she performed that better than they could perform her routines!, I can't believe some of the shit keyboard warriors are coming out with....go into your basement, lock the door, and stay there chubby.....

This is the entry level conditioning course. A comparison would be these guys doing her day one warm ups, or her killing people.

With the same clothing she wears :)

yeh she ran smack bang into her chest a few times with the running-climb parts, that's why she can't do all the elements of the obstacle course; plus she's probably not a trapeze artist so it's a little harder to swing about, especially with her height

every time she fell or slipped he probably had the most intense rush of anxiety like oH NO!! I DONT HAVE!! INSURANCE!!

Insurance is expensive I can't afford that

That's what I think too her height stopped her on that first one

Nationofshen do you have a complex or something? I’m apparently an idiot for pointing out a fact. She performed very well on the course. The only difficulty she had was reaching the high bars. Extra height would’ve given her a better advantage. Bottom line is she can outperform most people on that course.

Rope climb wasn't fast at all and didn't look easy for her.

😂

This is not a standard obstacle course. It was easier. In real life the men go through the obstacle course and women get helped through it. Women shouldn't be in the military for that reason. If they didn't get all the extra help they couldn't complete the course as individuals.

@@StingofTruth You may be somewhat right in physical competition, but I was in the Army and women competed alongside men. Yes, the standard was not equal, but each group was required to meet at least the lowest requirements. I don’t agree that not being able to keep up with men is a reason not to have women in the military.

@@lindadoyle525 if it isn't equal then nothing else should be equal. Women don't have to sign up for selective service, 80% of women in the military don't believe women should be allowed in active combat but should still be allowed to receive combat pay. Medical staff, yes. chaplains, yes. Jag, yes. Clerical roles, yes. Why? Because those receive training which are not gender bias or sensitive. In other words those are even in an egalitarian manner. Combat, physically strenuous roles, different story. If they can't do what their male counterparts do they need booted out. It's bad enough momma has control of the military now and has sissified the American soldier, but now the female soldiers are even more sissified. WW1 WW2 Vietnam Desert storm Iraqi freedom Those are the generations my family served in as far back as we can trace. The 2nd-3rd generations were real soldiers (we never knew the ww1 family member because he date raped my great gramma and my grandpa who served in ww2 european theater was the result of that but the ww1 vets i met as a child were on par with the ww2, korean,and nam soldiers I've met and served) even my oldest brother who was the desert storm generation was fairly comparable to the vietnam soldier. But the ones being turned out today are something else. We went from the best generation to the best of intentions generation in less than 100 years. But i digress... One standard, no help, no special treatment. Either pass or fail, no grading on a curve, no second chances. That's how it needs to be. That's how it was up until the 90's

Jim McDonald stfu

@Jim McDonald oh this sounds homophobic

@Jim McDonald this is a dumb comment, do not be like this guy

some of the replies here reek of ✨homophobia✨

More like the course killed her. If you stop after each obstacle you lose the momentum which is crucial to getting over the higher barriers and bars.

@lucaboden I meant the other activities. Swinging on bars or jumping on these bunny hops. In Gymnastics you 'need' to be small. On floor the tumbling area is 12×12m so very small but you need to fit a double layout salto in it (she does that at the beginning of the video) and the beam (her best event in the elite time, when she also beat Simone Biles) is as wide as a smartphone, so small feet help there too. Over all layouted skills are credited more so as a small person you don't have to tumble as high to do them. Rope climbing is a common exercise in Gymnastics but often without legs in a straddled (feet apart) or piked (feet together) (for both legs in a 90° angle and knees straight). In these activities she has a huge disadvantage because of her height. Also remember that she is out of real training for about a year. Swinging bars is about height. If you compare the gymnasts that won a medal on uneven bars you'll notice how most of them are quite tall. Thats because you really need to use the momentum your body gives you.
