Morning Tonic: Makoto Nagano Storms “Ninja Warrior”

Jackie Chan has nothing on this guy, except several million dollars and international fame; Makoto Nagano, on the other hand, is a humble crab fisherman.

The clip is a little long but stick with it. At first you’re thinking, “aw, hell, I could do that,” but by the end you’ll be stunned by this man’s athleticism, focus, and determination. I’ll admit that my eyes got a little bit misty when he makes the final obstacle goal.

Bear in mind that he’s only the second man to complete the entire course in ten years. And then realize that a US Olympiad took this challange and blew it in the second course.
