Comprehending verbal commands or learning the intricacies of potty training would be considered great accomplishments for most two-year-olds around the world. Arat Hosseini, as noted by his 23.1 K Instagram followers, has taken being a toddler to the next level.
The Iranian baby just turned two and is already turning heads with his amazing gymnastics skills captured on camera.
According to his parents, Arat began practicing gymnastics moves at 9 months old after his father noticed his incredible strength.
I mean, just look at this! Holy crap!

The kid can’t even talk. But he can do the splits and celebrate his feat with a triumphant jig???
He has to be half Spider Man. I mean, this CAN’T be safe?!
I’m really not sure whether I should laugh or be terrified.
According to his parents, Arat only practices for 10-20 minutes a day and has no professional training.
Regarding on how his super-baby strength was first recognized, Arat’s father, Mohamad, told The Daily Mail:
“One day when I returned home from work and put my finger in Arat’s hand, he got up slowly and, gripping my finger very tightly, pulled his legs off the ground … At that time I noticed the strength and power Arat had and was very surprised. Arat’s favourite trick is performing a backwards somersault.”
All of this is so incredible, the cynical side of me can only hope that Arat’s family won’t force him to train for personal financial gain. Let’s remember, he’s a baby, not a cat.
Arat, I truly hope your future is as special as your natural talent. Consider me in your corner!
