In this video:
While there is no single correct way to walk, most of us have a gait where we swing each arm forward when its opposing leg moves forward; likewise, as with the length of the stride, which is generally the same for both legs, the distance of the arm swing is usually about the same for both the left and right arms. While exactly why humans do this hasn’t yet been definitively proven (with the most popular theory being that, while not essential, it’s mostly about improving balance and decreasing angular momentum of the body), the fact remains that this is how the vast majority of humans all over the world walk… But not so with Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation.

There was one thing missing in this video: a clip how putin walks
Teastroyer these types of videos never show what they talk about. Very stupid
I want them to show a video of putin walking
He'd probably get assassinated for posting it
SANG erm, no. Calm down
Or perhaps the footage is copyrighted. But I don’t know that is a good question.
0:29 Every four legged animal does this and it's basically the exact same step order still, even when humans just walk on two legs. When running, this transforms into the same step order as a trot. In other words, humans naturally walk as if they'd walk on both legs and arms, just with the body upright and the arms not touching the ground. So it's a legacy of instinct that has survived ages of evolution.
3:22 Well, _his_ KGB days haven't ended yet, I presume...
Summary, and I quote: "nobody really knows why he walks this way". That will save you 5 minutes.
Well he is a known ex-KGB agent, so my guess is he was either trained, or lived by his gun, wich is why his shooting arm never moves far from his hip.
Here, have Mark Felton give you a better explanation.

Doing gods work thanks brother
I do. Not everyone wears high heels the same way. Putin wears heels. Check any of his pictures.
tooo late :P
Wtf are you talking about? He explains the most possible theory in the video. I guess you are just dense
Be honest. You wanted to see the actual walking footage but you didn’t find that.
What a serious fucking fail
Haha, yes waiting for that.
Aaaaaand dislike😅

He could not get the rights that's why, look it up it takes 5 seconds, it's dumb anyways
Simon: Putin walk

@@unvrknow7870 hell yeah
Frankly, if you don't think Vlady P is still packing iron in his jacket you're missing some information lol. Not only did it get drilled into him in training, dude is still ready to go full John Wayne with a quickdraw lol.
I know lots of people who walk like this or similar ways. They carried pistols as side arms be it in war or civil times it's all the same. And years later without even carrying weapons anymore the movement imbeded into the mind.
I personally also had to learn to walk slowly and still to this day struggle with it, soon as I move, I make fast movements, ever since when I was a kid and young adult I was always in a hurry to school or jobs due to penalties etc, later when I retired, I just couldn't slow down. Often people tell me I look like I am charging an attack at someone and fear me even tho I just moved from A to B with a causal intend.
Also for people who don't know, it isn't healthy to walk fast all the time, body needs moderate movements the extremes and strains being a short burst only.
Putin wears high heels, making it difficult to walk manly:
th-cam.com/video/lY6lHjZjYXE/w-d-xo.html
He never made agent, and agents blend in, they don't walk like. Hey look I'm an agent ready to draw, that's dumb. Even combat soildiers don't walk like that b/c it's bs and doesn't make you a faster draw please. It just makes you slow, awkward and stand out.
Your here because of the meme aren’t you?
Damn straight
Yep
No
Indeed
You’re*
YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO SHOW ME A VIDEO ABOUT PUTINS WALK WITHOUT EVER SHOWING PUTIN WALKING?!
Yeah, I thought the same.
Kevin Klika they are usually limited to videos that are out in the public domain for copyright reasons.
hes probably running out of decent content hate shit like this tbh

I also felt this way
Sounds like a great way to identify KGB operatives. A wonderful "tell".
I put this together right away. I’m glad my daddy passed all his smarts to me! Thanks dad!!

Petition for them to do this
Because he is very THICC

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin you’re so thicc and wide
Short answer: he needs to get his gun out quickly as they were trained like that in the KGB
5 minutes not short enough?
@@paulheap1982 no it's *5 minutes!*
That's wrong he is just wide
mahdi amine *w i e d*
Alanotics. There's a good chance he still carried a gun. If I were in his position,I would. If a would be assassin got through his security team it makes sense to defend himself. I can't imagine Trump or Borris Johnson though.
HE thinks He's a Run Way Model... LOL
Putin is now more famous than Justin Bieber.
Former KGB, conditioned to keep shooting hand within 6 inches of gun.
didnt need a video to know that haha :D
Most people who carry a firearm keep their strong side hand free and close to their weapon. I do it when I carry.
you shouln't give away your concealment with such a motion.
Gung Ferdoosh yes because a firearm is only used for shooting people and not deterrence to criminals.
Derpy Duck well I shoot criminals who happen to be human and they are pretty deterred.
He walks that way because of kgb training ,keeping your gun hand at the ready ,old habits die hard
And terrible training technique recommendation. Knowing this gait, it would be easy for any intelligence agency to identify a kgb agent since they would stick out like a sore thumb.
It makes a ton of sense for him to be armed. He's a prominent world leader, one whom many have mixed feelings about. I imagine it's more being ready than an old habit. At any point somebody could draw on him, he needs to be ready to fire back.
@@tomcat8662 this makes sense, but in his KGB training he never mentioned why and what reasons. It's just his style because he was ready to give everything for his country. And no. Putin knows few languages and this makes it bit easy to not be suspicious, but yet, he's doing this because to swing fast. Every miliseconds matter for your country.
tomcat8662 an agent could adapt a different gait, Putin had more of a desk job. I think it’s more of an universal thing for all armed personnel.
LVL 6969 CHILLI He speaks German and was stationed in East Germany. Not sure what other languages he would need.
I have the same "problem". I have never noticed it, my x-wife once brought my attention to the "problem", telling me to walk normal, i look stupid. "Swing both your arms!!" she said. I have never had any training or been a member of the KGB, I'm from South Africa. But yes, I swing only one arm when I walk. Regards, Hendri
me too!
your wife sounds like a controlling person, commanding you to be "normal" to swing both arms?!
*you* do *you* honey boo boo x
@@kdotwilly7935 Hi, you have no idea, but i am happily divorced now.
I also have a habit of swinging my left arm but not my right when I walk. In my case I picked it up by carrying a clarinet in my right hand while marching in a military band.
"...presumably because he's holding an imaginary gun..."
I would not be surprised at all if he regularly carries a non-imaginary sidearm.
I'd be very surprised to learn that he doesn't carry at all times
@@theteddy1487 when possible.

What comes to mind for me is that "hit" song from the 90's by Genesis; "I CAN'T DANCE" song just popped into my head while watching this video! Lyrics...
Hot sun beating down Burning my feet just walking around.
Hot sun making me sweat 'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet.
I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything.
Blue jeans sitting on the beach, Her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.
She's got a body under that shirt, But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.
Cause, I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk.
No, I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling.
And checking everything is in place, You never know who's looking on.
Young punk spilling beer on my shoes, Fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.
Thick smoke, see her smiling through. I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.
But I can't dance, I can't talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling And checking everything is in place.
You never know who's looking on.
A perfect body with a perfect face.
These lyrics if you read between the lines ("just standing here selling and checking everything's in place," " you never know who's looking on" the hypervigilance of an agent!) and imagine it's really about secret service/agents, following their training, speaking in code!!! Funny it just "hit" me that way!!! 😎🚶🎶🤫🕴️👣💩-tin!!! 🤣

How come there’s no footage of him actually walking in a video about how he walks? Maddening.
Agree. Weird that he didn't actually show examples, which should be plentiful.

I don't get it. .
It’s a trained walk. The KGB trained them to walk this way. Their right hand stays close to a weapon on their hip.
Just try holding a phone while walking..🤣
Why did you choose not to show an example of him actually walking?
TheEgg185 profile picture matches comment so well
because its propaganda aimed at defaming the president of Russia, that obviously has no ground.
Yea that’s really odd
Justin Bailey So, you didn't watch the whole thing, did you?
It is, however, a bit of frivolous nonsense, of no real consequence.. You know: like most everything else on youtube, that isn't directly educational.

My hypothesis: Severe hemorrhoids. He holds one arm still as a concentrated effort to function through searing rectal pain.

surprising, that you would make a video about the weirdness of how somebody walks, and not show a single video clip of it happening..
Control SixtyFour Every den video clips in these videos. I'm guessing they're trying to about copyright strikes. There's plenty of footage of putin on TH-cam if you want to see him walk.

i carry and i do not walk like that, idk if anyone else here can vouch for or against but i can say with certainty i carry and dont walk like that
its more a product of spec ops training than just carrying
he's got concealed weapon on his arm. if he lifts arm it shoots
5 minute video about Putin walking funny without showing him walking funny.
Yes what a joke this video is. Like they do not even have the "Putin walk" demonstrated by an actor.
Hence my down vote.
"Why no video of Putin actually walking you ask? Unfortunately, it's a copyright issue. If we used footage, then we risk getting the video flagged and getting a copyright strike. Three of those strikes and the channel goes away... So I hope you can understand our desire to play it pretty safe with this stuff. Indeed copyright is often the reason we won't show something that seems like it should super-obviously be included... " (pinned comment)
Go to videos that show Putin walking. Especially the one with Putin walking down a hallway to his inauguration.
If u read the video info you would know it's due to possible copyright infringmwnt
He walks like that because he has a manjina 🤣
When one arm swings correctly and the other doesn't, it's associated with diminished mental capacity. It's also a sign of oncoming dementia. If you notice that this is the case with how you walk, make a concerted effort to swing BOTH arms evenly. You can re-teach your brain what you learned as a toddler and make your brain healthier. This is based on studies, btw, not my opinion.
Wait, a bunch of doctors got together to figure out why a world leader was walking funny?
...Is that the scientific equivalent of paparazzi?
Timothy McLean Right? Don’t they have anything better to do? LOL
It's their area of interest. Using their research for real world application is something that is otherwise an unanimous positive, but in certain cases I guess that it can appear funny. But if it's a symptom of, say Parkinsons, it could be useful to know for MDs.
They do the same about Trump lmao
Human beings are fucking idiots. All it would take to excuse unusual walking patterns is "well, there was some sort of training to get to that pattern of walking, like how people who know what to look for can tell if you've been in the military. Putin was KGB, so that probably has something to do with it." and a bunch of people got paid for that shit. How the fuck can I get in on some of that money? Analyzing people is easy as shit.
It was the British Ministry of Silly Walks
"After his KGB days". I didn't think there was such a thing.
Yeah, i thought it was one of thise “blood in/blood out” type deals
And as far as i can tell, he hasn’t given his blood out yet
There is no such thing as ex member of the KGB
Vladimir Putin
That's like ex CIA people may not be active but they're still in it
Once agent, always agent.
It's not a walk. It's a special mobility operation.
The reason why he walks out why he’s carrying a weapon! 😆
As a person who used to keep a holster on my right hip, I would often smack it while walking, so I eventually subconsciously learned not to swing my right arm as much when walking. Its been years since I've worn a holster there, and I still walk exactly like that, very similarly to Putin himself. No KGB training (as far as I know ._.), just learned not to smack a holster. I wouldn't be surprised if that is another part of why KGB walk that way...
As far as I know 😂 LOL 😂

Glad I read your comment, after i left the video.
Yea, seems like an obvious thing to have. I kept expecting it since I dont actually recall how he walks. So sorry, no like from me.
Russia would copystrike the video.
With missiles.
J Colez exactly wtf
Of course Pootie walks with a gunslingers' gate. Next video: "We've discovered that water is wet!"
I broke my right arm over 7years ago and during that time I didn’t use the arm much. Therefore ever since I walk just like this.
"Why does he walk that way?"
Spends money on research instead of just asking him.
Right 🤦♂️
Right 🤦♂️
I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he still actually carries a gun from time to time
was my first guess
My first guess was it was a March from the kgb
gang shit comrade
He does
Lol no, why would he do that, have you seen his sicuritas?
You are talking about Putin's physical issues, but your jaw pulls to your right as you speak.
Just one word: Hemorrhoids!
I walk weird because I start thinking about it too much, and then I forget how to walk normal!
Stephen Mason so glad to know i am not alone in this
When I tire, I sometimes walk like a chicken (meaning moving my head forwards and backwards with each step). It’s not very pronounced but my mom bugs me about it. So don’t worry about it.
Kyïv stuff sounds like my mom lol
It like when you notice ur breathing
if your feet are slightly spread apart, dont worry, its something biological. I walk weird because of that and because of my bad posture from sitting too much infront of the computer.
It's habit.
He's used to having his weapon ready to draw at all times.
Just what im gonna say... Hehehe
Kyle Phillip : D
Dear lord, no it's not
Unlike President Chump who hasn't seen his weapon for many years beneath his gut! It's even smaller than his brain.
Kyle Phillip u r ryt
That gait instantly identifies you as an agent. I would think you wouldn't want to stand out in a crowd.
This video reminds me of my step mother. She can't let people finish dinner without criticizing them for how they chew. Most can not stand to be around her.

@@xxrandmlinksxxbruh2419 okay then...
@@JaysusEscobar people dont actualy care, we just find this in youtube and watch.
It's clear he walks this way because he's accustomed to carrying a firearm.
Well, it's not said anywhere that he ever stopped, he was FSB (KGB successor) director in 1998.
M Johnsen thing is, he wasn’t a combative asset in the KGB, and so would not have been carrying a firearm. In addition, the manual is designed for KGB special operations units, not regular agents, so he would have had nothing to do with that manual.
Who cares how Putin walks?
Vlasta Molak I hear the CIA has a whole unit dedicated to analysing Putin and everything about his person, including his gait. Apart from that, anyone who is in at least some small way moved by his macho/everyman/dictator lifestyle would want to know.
commander31able He wasnt a field agent, but he probably carries his own gun and therefore has been trained to walk that way
Thank you for including video footage of all the walk-through describe it really helps
WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE PARK--------say no more big spender !
Putin has an open question time once a year. Perhaps you should ask?
Carefully selected people take part in that open question thing.
Thank you for that common sense...lol...how much did that study cost to tax payers???...LMAO
@@TheSlymccoy
It is irrelevant. Knowledge like this is actually worth millions.
The psychology of a man will reveal his weaknesses, and finding Putin's weaknesses is worth enormously much.
IT IS NOT WORTH MILLIONS in any way shape or form. Anyone that understands body language, and the history of Putin could put this together. 1.2.3...
My answer to him is take care of his eyes that’s the only balls he will have.
I thought it is because he has a gun hid in his sleeve.
And I am probably right
He just has a gun on his right side under his clothes. Keeps arm closer so he can get to a gun quicker. Nothing special and if you even carry a knife you will pick up a habit of doing this also.
Damn that took all 12 chromosomes to come up with.
Wouldn't be surprising. Even though its near impossible for civilians to own guns in his country, I expect him to be well armed. personally.
One does not "concealed carry," one carries a concealed weapon.
Gotta keep that gun hand close to the gun... KGB training! Lol.
Ask Putin, why do you walk so weird?
Putin doesnt walk weird. Everything around him just moves weirdly.
Exactly. Everyone knows that Putin is the Russian version of our Chuck Norris.
🥴
very good!
Just thought I'd necro this.
Well said
Prolly cause he’s side carrying a pistol
yes but a small pistol not kididing just sarch for it
Even if he doesn't now, he was KGB so it's something he would be used to
Edit: they mentioned this in the video about 3 seconds after I posted
Masta Hyper Snyper hahahaha that made me lol too much
cheeki breeki a "small" feminine gun ? If you gonna carry a gun , carry a BIG one
+vag sam you're always carrying a small feminine gun on you. check between your legs.
This way he is mimicking marching so he shows power in a subliminal way.
It's the KGB walk.
there has to be a dance move in there somewhere... "it's the kgb walk."
shouldn't intelligence agents be as inconspicuous as possible? to blend into the general public?
"Do the KGB walk" is part of the lyrics of "Walk Like A KGB".... Cool tune ... Something like "Walk like an Egyptian" ...
It's simple actually. But someone that doesn't carry a firearm or gone through firearms training wouldn't recognize this habit. Its used to quickly and effectively draw your sidearm, while also quickly being able to react to an assailant grabbing it and offering maximum protection. It has nothing to do with a disease.
So what you're basically saying is, the president of the Russian Federation is packing heat under those clothes.
Alexander Reeves good observation...
Haha ok mate. Its because he has aspurgers. I have it too and have the same arm problem.
That, and word around is he has an old back injury, which is why his sitting posture tends to be asymmetrical too. I've seen video where he limps slightly, as one does when holding the back stiff to minimize pain. In combination with his early training, this could serve to exaggerate his gait.
Nothing wrong with his brain, tho. Per everything I've seen, the guy is super-sharp.
he injured his lower back back in 2006 or so. Look at anyone with this problem it's quite clear. Bulging discs or radiculopathy
People have been lied to about his wellbeing and health
The answer might be a bit more boring than what is speculated here.
The archbishop of Finland used physical force to stop Mr. Putin and broke Putin's clavicle.
When Putin was the vice-mayor of St. Petersburg, Russia, in early 90s he visited Turku, Finland regularly. (The cities are twinned.)
He became good friends with his Finnish counterparts and during one trip in 1994 the hosts and the visiting delegation agreed to play a match of soccer. (Indeed, Putin prefers ice-hockey and has later played that often with other world leaders.)
However, during the match Putin was tackled by John Vikström (who later became the archbishop of Finland) so badly that Putin's clavicle got fractured. The medical operation back in Russia did not succeed perfectly, and since that Putin has not been able to use his arm very well.
He walks like that cause of military training.
Just saved you almost 6 mins of your life
Thank you! Christ, I had to stop the video a minute in because the guy wouldn't get to the freaking point.
Agreed. It just makes sense. I have noticed that I have a tendancy to not swing my left arm. I attribute that to my own equestrian training. The body and left arm remains straight and still while neck reigning with the right arm. This has become such a habit that even when I'm not riding .. I often maintain that riding posture. It becomes 2nd nature.

First time I noticed it I thought exactly the same. “He probably walks with his right arm so rigid and close to his body because he once was an agent, he probably used to hold a weapon with his right hand”. I think it’s like a body memory or something like that, I don’t know about these things.
Greg Lopes you watch too many spy films. Just because he was an agent doesn't mean he was armed
I think if I was Putin I would want to keep a weapon up my sleeve.
Greg Lopes Most of this big shots have at least something strange with themselves. Remember Obama,left handed,has very inspiring speech,Look at Trump's hair style,has no mercy,etc
maybe....
"I don't know about these things." Lol😁😂😅
Its not him walking weird. It is everyone else walking weird.
That's got me thinking; I wonder if crabs think we walk sideways?
@@Otacatapetl interesting thought! O.o
Hail!!
The guy is ex KGB. He has enemies and habitually carries a gun in his pocket.
Thanks, now I have to go look up a video of Putin walking.
Image what Putin thinks when the whole world is worrying about how he walks.
It’s called the “Alpha Male Walk”
Unlike the “Beta Male Walk”
Alpha Male *Stride*
Superior Penis Containing Organism Gait
its because he has shit himself.
Alpha because you think a murderer is cool
It's the Beta male mince
Now I'm googling Putin walking around 🤣
I think he walks that way from holding his teddy bear for security until he as 12
Short answer, he was a KGB agent for years and is used to keeping his hand by a pistol.
Soviet KGB officers used shoulder holster for Makarov pistols
Exactly.
Maybe he still walks the KGB way because he’s armed
Damnnatio i think your right
How the HELL can you make a video about Putins walk without a VIDEO of Putins walk?
I have always thought that Putin walks like Charlie Chaplin. 😃
This is pretty common for people with martial arts training, military training, and experience carrying a sidearm, no matter the country. One example is being able to unholster, aim, and fire five shots in five seconds at the target in a three-inch cluster.
Its called a "group" not a "cluster"
Funny thing is, me also walking like this with no millitary traning, just bit of aikido training and a lot of historical reanactment fighting training. I blame it all on use of shield - muscle memory overcompensate for heavier load of the left side and more stiff movement.
Your genitals are a three-inch cluster.
Yeah I knew immediately what it was from because I do it myself while I carry concealed.
Good, now I do not have to type out a comment explaining concealed carry tactics.
I’ve carried a sidearm every day for the past 14 years and do the exact same thing. My wife was the first person to point out to me how odd it looks.

Yeah a lot of people who carry tend to adopt a lotta subconscious behaviors like this. It's actually a big part of some police and secret service training to recognize those behaviors to pick out who may possibly be a concealed weapon threat.
Can be pretty good to actively train yourself to avoid doing them if you CC often, so you're not quite so obvious to people with the awareness to look out for it. Even some non-trained people can just subconsciously pick up that you're walking threatingly and just feel more uncomfortable around you.
@@Grimmers That, exactly.
Daily for 17 years here so far and no odd walk, though I CC at 12:00-1:00 position(lefty). Might have something to do with it.
As a Chiropractor of 36 years, I often watch people walk.
Very often people are asymmetrical.
Any man who walks with a set he lugs around will walk just the same, trust me 😂
Hiding his pistol. It's a tough habit to break.
A KGB tactic, the gunslinger's gait. And yes, it is a hard habit to break.
The gunslinger's gait was literally the first thing I thought when I saw Putin walk; he's just resting his arm next to his (potential) firearm
"See me walkin' with a limp, that's my gun walk" -Vladimir Putin
It's because his boots weren't made for walking
NO VIDEO OF THE WALK WTFFFFFFFFF
6 minutes I can never get back
@InoshiKenshi I would add "with a drone" but I think it was some other guy who actually did strike people with drones.
@InoshiKenshi tf Russia don't care about copy rights like that, otherwise reimbursement bill would be too hefty
Thank you sir
