VIRAL: This video of a mom watching a martial arts competition is the cutest thing you’ll see today

Is she the mother of one of the fighters, unconsciously attempting to help her child win the battle through the power of overprotective mom telekinesis? Is she an audience member that is just really, really into the fight, or perhaps vicariously living out her own dreams of competitive combat glory?

We’re not sure. We just know that we’ve all seen moms do things like this and that her fierceness is undeniably adorable.




According to Pedri Andriad, the Facebook user who originally posted the video, he spotted the extremely enthusiastic fight observer at the Gunung Mas District Student Sports Week in Central Kalimantan. The video was originally posted in April but recently went viral after some local media outlets picked it up.

In his caption, Pedri wrote, “This is what happens when moms watch a silat competition.”

Besides her seemingly irresistible urge to act out the fight and pull off sweet moves like this…

… the thing we might love the most about this video is the look on her face when she turns back towards the camera, seemingly embarrassed at realizing what she’s been doing…

… before getting right back into it. Her fighting spirit is truly impressive. And her momness is unmatched.
