That's the most gangster shit I ever heard in my life... I'm sure if he was born 1000 years ago, he would've been a renowned warlord or some sort of famous gladiator.
I've heard some similar stories about Gurkhas (Nepalese special forces) doing some crazy ass shit. As someone who has balsa wood bones and have mostly relied on my limited wit to get through life, it makes me even more impressed when I read accounts about men who seemingly were born to kick ass.
