This is the impressive moment a Kung Fu robot executed a stunning 720-degree roundhouse kick to disarm its opponent.

Yushu Wang Xingxing, Founder and CEO of Unitree, sparred with the humanoid to demonstrate its combat skills in Zhejiang, China, on March 4.

Footage shows Yushu holding a wooden stick as he faces the bot. The robot first delivers a straight jab before spinning twice and landing a powerful kick, knocking the pole from his hands.

Human and animal-like robots are being developed in several countries, with China and the United States leading the 'tech arms race.'

Earlier this month, a military-style robot dog was even spotted protecting President-Elect Donald Trump in Florida.

Meanwhile, eccentric billionaire Elon Musk—who played a key role in Trump's recent U.S. election victory—recently unveiled Optimus, describing it as a multi-functional assistant capable of handling household chores, playing with children, and performing repetitive tasks.
