Turns out, cats know more martial arts than ninjutsu. Japanese photographer Hisakata Hiroyuki has decided to dedicate a fair portion of his time to shooting cats during their totally serious combat practices, and the result is purrrfect.

Threatening stares, explosive kicks, powerful punches, Hiroyuki has captured it all. He has successfully proven that felines have unlocked all of the secret fighting techniques, and even Mr. Miyagi could learn a thing or two from these martial arts masters. Scroll down to check out the amusing images and upvote your favorites.

    How the hell he took this pic, was cat flying 4-5 meters high, or we just rolling on ground waiting for cat to jump.

    Photoshop a gun in his right paw, and he'll be a cool mafia cat dodging bullets. :p

    Either the photographer or someone else is throwing these cats in the air. For that reason I stop scrolling.
