Someone taught these kids right

Heck yeah someone did
and it’s their ancestors who fought back then
It’s the centurion guards from the ancient empire
1. Kids Form Roman Legion at Summer Camp
2. Kids defeat the Gauls
3. Kids cross the Rubicon
5. Kids start over 200 years of peace and prosperity in the newly found Empire, formed after events in step 4.
Those kids wont get anywhere with that sloppy formation.

You break the formation by yelling cookies and orange slices are on the side table.
Quiet kid: reaches in backpack
Teacher: "TESTUDOOOOO!"
There's so many lessons kids can take from this, obviously a little history but there's important life lessons here: Teamwork, following instructions, patience. As well as concepts like group moral, unit cohesion, individual sacrifice for the collective. Basically everything sports is supposed to teach you without the need for being good at sports.
yes
Plus that looks really fun too
I’d so love to see this as an actual, practiced sport

Hahahaha
Half the kids wanted to be heros and break off
They almost died
lmao
Noticed that too, but also notice that once they start getting hit with more than they can take, they took a step back and fell back into the safety of the testudo, relying on the back ranks and those beside them for coverage. At about 0:38 formation starts to break and is hit with a barrage, it cohesively reforms to withstand the volley.

@Eugene From Tasmania this must be some joke the rich schools are playing on the rest of us, they have cover.

It was a bloody cutest centurion’s command I’ve ever heard

0:43 They're a little confused, but they've got the spirit.
What a great idea. Certainly, it would show them exactly how hard it is to get a group of people to do something as simple as marching together before they tried to protest for bigger changes or whatever in the future.
Thug Life Bear Japanese student protest tho are far more Cohesive and correlative than their Western counterparts
Yeah, testudo formation will be definitely more effective against riot police than unorganised crowd. If you want to make bigger changes, you need to be organised as much as your enemy
But it IS possible. It just requires a charismatic and talented leader, steel, violence, and a lot (and I mean a lot) of money.
@@f-man3274 Right, wood shields, motorcycle helmets, batons/hammers
@@LordSeethe a shield wall is harder than you think. you need proper training to do it.
Roman juniors: Lay down your weapons.
Random spears: come and get them.
Definite upvote. Neat to see. I remember one fascinating Roman battle where this strategy failed miserably against an enemy that had a supply chain set up for their high mobile archers on horseback (a combination not normally found in other enemies of the time). They held their shields high for hours upon hours, but a small number of arrows found their mark and started wounding hands and feet. The Romans (who were invading a foreign territory) were decimated.
That is the battle of Carrhae, they were led by an Idiot named Marcus Licinius Crassus, who then, refused the Armenian King's offer to send many of his armies to support his legions, which could have changed the outcome of this disastrous battle.
ZandarKoad
Markus Licinius Crassus: You can't just have infinite arrows in the whole duration of the battle
Surenas: Haha Arrows go swoosh
The Romans where decimated after the main battle. The wounded where abandoned and the Parthians massacred them.

Also a lot of fun
So much we can learn from the past
Looks like an absolute blast from someone who loves war history
Goddamm I wouldve loved to have been taught shit like this as childs play as a youngster.
“dont break formation”

Looks like a way more fun summer camp than most I went to.
As a former Centurion in re-enactment, these children do the best testudo I have seen in 40 years! Excellent.

YEAH that spear throw was the one that caught my eye lmao😂
@@Zpixiewanwan1249 Apparently that's not the only eyes that spear caught.

@@Zarafin LMAO😂
@@andrewsucksatvideos4482 and thats actually one of the weaknesses of tetsudo. It was a slow moving formation and no matter how disciplined they were there will always be gaps for projectiles to get through. Great for advancing up to a wall under fire. Not so much against a bunch of people who can just run away.
I hear a boy say "Keep your shields up!" There's a good chap!
His name is Lucius Vorenus
This is a great victory, worthy of Roman arms!

So true.

0:38 ‘PULLO! GET BACK IN FORMATION!’
this comment is sorely underrated lol
The kid yelling "Advance!" Is having the time of his life. (I can't blame him--frankly, I think I'm a little jealous lol)
Well done indeed! I was lucky enough to spend my childhood years living in the Roman garrison town of Isca Silurium. I played in the barracks and amphitheatre left by the Romans. Great fun and very impressive coordination.
Opposing teams: *starts throwing stuff at the roman kids*
Roman kids commander: "Which one of you bastards just signed his own death warrant?!'
Roman formations were the most epic. also, where are the javelins and they need others to go on the side and shield them their.
They are children at summer camp
"Sir the Romans are approaching!"
"Fear not, for soon it will be their snack time followed by naps"

Amazing. I would follow that Centurion in my conquest for Gaul.
This child will grow up to be a great commander of rome! Destroy the Celts and Phoenicians when they least expect >:)
This is so awesome. He says, keep your shield up!! They did a great job
Lmao, they were truly having the time of their lives 😂
and the time of others deaths, apparently.
Finally we are teaching kids some useful stuff, they will be great soldiers when they grow up!
all jokes aside they did really good lol
Now imagine a Spartan training IRL in ancient times at these age.
This is actually pretty good for something dome by kids. All we need are some miniature armors and they're good to go and fight for the glory of Rome!
I can feel the power of civilization. I am proud
0:36 PULLO! FORMATION!
These kids.....the future of humanity
They didn't really form a legion, it being a Roman military unit consisting of between 4k to 5k troops. What they did form, however, is the testudo (tortoise in Latin).
Beat me to it. If they had, however, it would have been damn scary
That's what I thought, but they should of had a legion, it would be more effective.
Nah, this is roughly the size of a conturbernium.
Man, I missed out on my childhood.
This should be mandatory in all schools!
I had a professor who taught at a Montressi school, they did this every year when teaching kids about Rome. They loved it.
There is no boring history, just boring history teachers.
You see Varus, that's how you command the troops!
Hey, I was Fking ambushed
Varus
that foam spear launch at 0:16 gets me everytime I come back to watch this
The day is ouuuurrrrsss! *epic victory music plays*
That was AWESOME! 🖖😁
Thank you for sharing!
everybody gangsta until they throw a real javalin
Love the giggling as they're getting hit with javelins and then joy when they're set loose to attack.
Roman levies during the year of the 4 emperors be like
What a great way to teach "Team Work."
Ah, if only we had these legionaries and this commander instead of damn Varus at the Teutoburg, we would've won!
True! This Centurion is worthier of the title legatus than good-for-nothing Publius Quintilium Varum!
@@odd-ysseusdoesstuff6347 At least this Centurion would give you back your legions.
To be fair. THe Legion were ambrushed in a thick forest, where they specifily COULD NOT form a Tuetendo, even if they want to. It was a betrayal as well.
Yes, this is what kids should learn.
"Your father should have told you how a phalanx works."

But legioners defeated them 😮
Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.

That kid do a great job at blocking the javelin

These kids are good. Kids from my class would not have the patience nor the attention span to do what these kids managed to achieve.
