About

Homeless Man Doing Kung Fu, also known as Homeless Man Doing Karate or Homeless Man Domain Expansion, is a viral video of a South African man, TikToker @oom_jan_the_china, doing kung fu outside on the street. Four videos of the man doing kung fu were uploaded to TikTok in mid-October 2023 and became the subject of memes in November in relation to the throwing a microwaved honey bun at a homeless man format and related memes about abusing homeless people popularized by TikToker Hoop Angel that year. The videos also became the subject of stylized edits, often set to the instrumental version of the song "High Off Life" by Babykjj.

Origin

Between October 14th and 15th, 2023, TikToker[1] @oom_jan_the_china posted four videos of a South African man showcasing his kung fu moves out in the street. The most popular of the videos gained over 10.2 million views in a month (shown below, left).

In November, TikTokers began reuploading the video with additional captions, often referring to the subject as a homeless man and tying him to the "microwaved honey bun" and ironic "violence against homeless people" memes popularized earlier in the year by user @hoop.angel. One of the earliest known examples was posted on November 16th, 2023 by TikToker[2] @iambandhunter, garnering over 9.6 million views in 10 days (shown below, right).
