If you're going to fight, know how to do it. Seek training from well qualified, badass instructors who know whereof they speak. Seriously, that's what you should do. That's not what we're talking about today, though. Today we're going to show you a bit of comedy from Funker 360. This video features, among other things, an Italian guy in tight green pants, Ameri-Do-Te master and internationally respected Enter the Dojo martial artist (and trained killer) Master Ken. We appreciate their respective senses of humor. You can learn more about Master Ken and Ameri-Do-Te right here. You can subscribe to Instructor Zero's YouTube channel here. SOFREP tells us he is a former instructor of the 5th Assault Battalion, Italian Folgore Parachute Brigade, and he is damn sure fast (though others assert he was a conscript soldier who spent just a year in uniform). Read more of that here. You can learn how to make an Instructor Zero field expedient holster out of one of your socks right here. Regardless of his background, he is interesting to watch. You can learn more about the actual Folgore (“Thunderbolt”) Brigade here. Italian paratroopers from the Folgore Brigade helped open dropzone Lory II in Mantua Italy a couple years ago, jumping in alongside troopers of the US 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade. The new DZ is in northern Italy near the town of Poggio Rusco. They later apparently participated in Exercise Swift Response, which included paratroopers from a dozen NATO countries and involved parachute assaults into the Bulgarian airfields of Balchik and Tenevo. Among those involved were elements of the Bulgarian 68th Special Forces Brigade, US 173rd Airborne, US 82nd Airborne, US 75th Ranger Regiment and Italy's 5th Battalion/186th Parachute Regiment. Other jumpers hailed from France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
