9-Year-Old Ninja Kicks Ass in Five Knives Music Video

View fullsize

You've got to check out this awesome music video for a song called "The Future," by a band called Five Knives. In "a bleak dystopia, a student clone fights back against an army of militant teachers with his bare hands and feet." The student is a 9-year-old ninja who pulls off some great martial arts choreography!

The video was directed by Lance Drake, who told io9 that it was influenced by George Lucas' THX1138, and then gives some information on the kid in the video, saying,

The 9-year-old is named Dallas Liu. He is a real life ninja and competes in a modern fighting / dance style called tricking. He is the next Bruce Lee.

The kid sure looks like he could kick some ass, and the video turned out really freakin' cool. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
