The 'Taekwondo Finger Performance in Korea' video is sure to put finger moon walkers to shame.

Featuring the amazing hand of one talented Korean fellow, this hilarious [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopstix) clip highlights the various moves one can enact using the [human appendage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bionic-hand) in order to mimic the attacks of [actual martial artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dojo-champ). Adding to the awesomeness of this 'Taekwondo Finger Performance in Korea' video is the fact that the performer has illustrated a little aggressive face onto his palm and even dressed up his digits in appropriate fighting attire, belt and all. You wouldn't want your hand running into this hand in a dark alley way.

If you think this video is nothing astonishing, I suggest you try performing some of the moves seen in it. They're actually much harder than they look.
