Elon Musk has amazed fans once again after releasing a new video of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, practicing martial arts and sparring with a human trainer. The viral clip shows the advanced robot performing defense moves, balancing perfectly, and reacting to attacks in real time — a clear sign of how far Tesla’s robotics program has come.

According to Musk, Optimus is learning through artificial intelligence and real-world simulations, allowing it to improve its reflexes and coordination without human programming. The video sparked huge reactions online, with many calling it a glimpse into the future of human-robot interaction.

Tech experts say this progress demonstrates Tesla’s growing dominance in AI-driven robotics, as the company aims to make Optimus capable of everyday human tasks — and now, even self-defense.
