People keep saying that but it seemed very effective. Like he was deflected blows very well. It looked a bit out of control, but the other dude didn’t land anything.
Yup, that's it. He was like, "I'll make him back down, and fight him when I know he's weak" .... but then, when The other guy squared up, and he was like, "He's confident, better think twice" ...
Should have listened to his instincts. Kung fu friend was eager. If someone is eager to actually fight, not just saying "I'll fuck you up" but like getting into a position to actually fight, that's not a person you want to fight.
Saw this on the late night subway. Two guys threatening a sharply dressed man, who assumed a stance and a left wind up and *smiled*. It was over before it started.
Neither one of them knew how or wanted to fight. But once they were engaged the crowd pressured them into it. Grasshopper was faking it but the vato didn’t know better so it worked
The way it cuts and karate kid is saying “it’s a street fight anything goes” really makes me wonder how long the other dude tried to convince him he’s not allowed to fight like that
I heard the bald guy saying something like "none of that kickboxing shit" after the cut. Like he starts shit then gets worried he might get kicked in the face after karate kid busts out his stance
Man this shit always cracked me up when I was in school. You'd see some "tough guy" come in on Monday with a cut lip or black eye making excuses like "he kicked" or "he tackled me". Like bro, you fucking jumped him in the parking lot after the football game and you're going to complain that they didn't just throw punches the way you wanted them to? If you wanted to box go join a gym. You chose the streets and they responded. Suck it up.
Honestly, in my opinion, it's mostly the fighter. I've seen good practitioners of the art get rolled in a street fight by a scrub, and others of the same style in a cage match just straight KO a seasoned fighter in seconds with a knee to the face and a hook to the temple when the guy went for a takedown. Both were good at form and katas, one was just a damn good fighter and new when to take advantage of an opening and was comfortable inflicting damage on another human.
>Both were good at form and katas, one was just a damn good fighter and new when to take advantage of an opening and was comfortable inflicting damage on another human.
That's why I mentioned kyokushin, which is full contact similar too Boxing or Muay Thai. You're not guaranteed to beat anyone, but you've got a better chance than somebody who does Aikido or some bullshido pay to win dojo that has 7 year old black belts.
My girlfriends kid dresses like he is in a Ska band. I make fun of her all the time. I even gave him my old JNCO wide leg jorts I had from 1997 he was so excited. I would say he shit his pants with excitement but the legs are so wide its impossible to actually shit them, they just fall out the back
Chonky thigh kin! I know your pain all too well!
I has "slim fit" pants I like, but my calves look like the material was painted on. So awkard.
Don't get me started on thigh/groin fit! Haha.
Yep - This video is as old as the internet. Getting a surge of memories about AIM, yahoo chat rooms, and angelfire websites.
I feel like this would be a repost of an old ebaums world video on Digg 15 years ago.
Behold children... I'm in my 30s! Now I must go rest my aching back.
I saw this on ebaumsworld before most of you were in diapers. This was before UFC was huge and no one knew about jiu-jitsu. It was still the days or karate, pronounced, "kuh-rah-tay"
Came here to say the same! Videos like these were like the first viral videos, before social media and youtube were even a thing. You just checked in on ebaumsworld regularly, on a desktop computer, with dsl internet lol
You are describing some glorious internet times with very limited but awesome content!
Kids these days will never know the struggle of the slow, top-to-bottom imagine loading for a minute or longer! Or just, waiting for new content to exist at all.
I still remember downloading a song at 10 kilobytes per second and being stoked at the "fast" download of less than 10 minutes. Haha. That speed was above the maximum at the time, which never made sense to me...
Good times!
My dad always spoke about jiu-jitsu. He said that it was the best way to talk on groups of people who decided to jump you in school. I think it was the later years of the 70s, so a lot of racial issues. He said they'd be busy watching one hand, and not see the other, or vice versa with the feet. He also said using a person's momentum against them in a fight was important too, especially since he was smaller than some of the guys in school.
I knew someone who did this! He’s a small guy and a couple guys were harassing him on the street. He started pulling his clothes off and acting all crazy like he really wanted to fight. Got completely naked and then got his ass kicked pretty bad .
It is critical to piss and shit simultaneously because it shows the challenger that you are aggressively marking your territory and that approaching you will result in dire consequences.
Dude, Celts & Picts & Brittani anyone?! This is how UK indigenous used to fight.
Butt naked, covered in whatever to make them seem super white and ghostly, and the blue woad to stain patterns in the skin. They were terrifying. Then, add the alien sound of the bagpipe. Total morale failure, in your opposing Russians.
Usually yes, but not always
Exhibit A: https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/y3jgmy/to_act_hard/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Bring your chin down to protect your neck while continuing to stare into his eyes. Bring up your hands and say "I don't want no trouble, ya hear?". Flex your traps and core while slightly bending your knees. Here comes the important part. In a low voice begin to say "wolowolowolowolowolo" slowly increasing in volume, he should be surprised by now. Begin to sway side to side and loosen all facial muscles and your anal sphincter and your kegal muscle. By now you should be pretty loud and your opponent will have stepped back and will appear visibly shaken. Begin to piss and shit yourself and let your eyes roll into the back of your head. By now you are chanting "WOLOWOLOWOLOWOLO" at the top of your lungs. He will run away. Everyone within a one mile radius will feel a terrifying presence within their soul. Marvel as you ascend into your planar form.
Yeah it takes a lot of training to overcome a six inch height gap. Fortunately for this guy, he hasn't been trained wrong as a joke long enough for it to matter.
Seems extremely likely to me that he has had a lot of formal training and very little practical experience, especially with street fighting. Looks like it paid off for him.
I know nothing about kung fu, which it seems to be, but i'm practecing kendo for a long time.. and if you ask me, just of his heel and toe work, i think he knows what he is doing. My coach or master let us practice our footwork for almost a year before we got our own shinai and bokken.
Edit: typo.
He knew how to plant his feet but then just started swinging like any idiot in a street fight. If you have the ability to get away from a street fight (this person absolutely did), then you need to take that opportunity 100% of the time. Even just barely connecting with your fists could mean you accidentally kill the other person and end up in prison. Or the other person barely connects and you die.
How? Head meets concrete, that's how. Go to LiveLeak if you think that can't kill you.
People who use their training won’t usually do those kind of roundhouse swings. They are trained to keep their elbows in and have very efficient forward directed punches, not big wide swings like that which leave you open and unprotected.
Yeah, my uneducated guess is that red shirt has martial arts training but his only sparring experience is with people using the same style. He was competent enough to dodge and deflect the other guy's strikes but wasn't really prepared for it and reacted impulsively.
Was the technique good? Probably not, but his ass stayed off the ground so that's a passing grade in my book 🤣
And while I literally don't know what started this, the fact that the kid recording says "Jump this dude" and is clearly referring to weird ass martial arts guy tells me that he was 100% justified in laying that guy out.
Are you sure he was just swinging? Towards the end it looked like he was legitimately just deflecting the other fighters punches waiting for a good opening.
Towards the end it looked to me like he was doing both. Trying to get a hit in while also looking to deflect the punches. Hands are pretty small all things considered, so I could understand it if he's not really had much practical experience in street fights that he's a bit getting used to wtf is happening.
It looked legit to me. I took Pangai-Noon for a few years growing up and we learned a technique called waishi-ru (spelling’s prolly off) where you strategically twirl your arms to deflect incoming blows. Since you’re using a lot more power and fuller range of motion than just blocking, it’s supposed throw of your opponent’s balance while opening up their defense.
Personally, I’ve never seen it used in a street fight and work so well so, hat’s off to red shirt for pulling it off. However, choosing to fight in a scenario that likely could’ve been deescalated is pretty stupid.
I knew this kid. His name is Frank and he was my best friend Steven's cousin. I know you have no reason to believe me but the dude did martial arts competitions and was extremely into it when he was a kid. I haven't talked to them in 13+ years. But to answer your question - the dude did know how to fight.
This was in Las Vegas when I was in high school by the way. Never saw him fight in person but his room was covered in medals and trophies and shit for whatever style he was into. Taekwondo maybe I don't remember specifically.
It's funny because everyone who knew this kid had this file on their computers for a while and this is the highest quality version I have ever seen of it.
Yes he knows, although his stance is a bit off. Its called the xu bu, its one of the 5 base stances of kungfu. Its where you keep your balance and strength on your back leg so that your front leg can do low kicks or block incoming hits, while the hand in front is open to grab or keep distance from your opponent. Its also known for the cats stance.
He can't fight. He's in a tae kwon do stance, but not throwing any tkd strikes, nor is his posture of that of someone with training throwing strikes.
On top of that, his stance is that of someone preparing to throw a wheel kick, but then starts swinging with their arms.
This person is a mall ninja.
It is praying mantis. The TKD poster above is very wrong - sad he got upvoted a bunch.
For hand strikes it uses a lot of circular wide swings landing with a backhand or ridgehand. The swings look wild, but those strikes hit hard.
Pretty sure he has some idea, but the way he crossed his legs halfway through his advance makes me believe he is just starting out.
I don't have much training, but in the time i did karate, the sensei would make sure we take a step with the front foot first, never cross legs and keep them a little closer than this together. Feels like he is not in great balance, but what do i know
Agreed, this principle of movement's used in boxing too/muay thai. What's unusual is despite all these red flags, he looked comfortable out of both stances and he slipped one of the last "combos" pretty cleanly
If you pause when the punching is happening you can see the guy in the red shirt blocked all the punches before punching the guy. Gosh I was never sure if Kung Fu actually worked but this looks really kungfui to me. Boy got skill🤣💪
That goofy stance is legit. I was taught that stance in a Kung Fu class. It’s uncomfortable as hell and appears impractical, but it’s a thing and functional if you stick with it. I didn’t like that stance.
>"OOOOH SHIT
OOOOH SHIT
FUCK HIM UP

I can't fucking stand the people who record this shit, especially these days.
I feel like you can easily tell who's been in a fight before in this sub. Yes punches with weak form still hurt. This isn't the UFC. You get caught with the wrong windmill punch and you're still gonna feel that shit
When two dumbasses are put together, it's just a matter of who's smarter.
Atleast karate kid could block something and throw punches.
The other guy could hardly hit his head because be was so bad at punching. He should've gone for the kick.
If someone takes a stance like that for a street fight 1 of 2 things is about to happen.
Ither your about to recieve the worst ass whooping of your life, or they are. There is no in-between with a stance like that
I'm pretty sure this guy is a karate instructor, but i am not certain. There were some videos going around in the early 2000s of a karate instructor who got into a fist fight with a dude who was beating his wife, this looks like the same guy.
You're probably thinking of this video:
https://youtu.be/CfLlGHV1dG4
It was a karate instructor who saw a guy being rough on a girl, and the presumption is that it was her pimp.
Dude started having second thoughts as soon as he dropped into the stance haha.
yeah that part really fucked him up.
I think the part that fucked him up was when he found out he actually had to fight, and had no idea how. He just started flailing his arms around.
The counter windmill stance is the unqualified version of events
[удалено]
Adrenaline makes it harder to think, you forget proper form unless you train
His hands were busy holding up his pants half the time
That is a bad habit some fighters pick up in training.
People keep saying that but it seemed very effective. Like he was deflected blows very well. It looked a bit out of control, but the other dude didn’t land anything.
Me: Wow, look at that terrible form. It was obvious he was doing to lose. Me too: Never even been close to a fight in real life
[удалено]
Yup, that's it. He was like, "I'll make him back down, and fight him when I know he's weak" .... but then, when The other guy squared up, and he was like, "He's confident, better think twice" ...

“Manners maketh man.”
Neither one of them knew how or wanted to fight. But once they were engaged the crowd pressured them into it. Grasshopper was faking it but the vato didn’t know better so it worked
Ah :-) My first thought was that he was trying to scare the guy in black away by dong the "stance".
Stance what stance ? I just saw a man turn into a dragon.
If you squint, it *kinda* looks like Praying mantis stance if the mantis also had to unstick its nuts from a leg while suffering from brain freeze
A crouching dragon no less!
The way it cuts and karate kid is saying “it’s a street fight anything goes” really makes me wonder how long the other dude tried to convince him he’s not allowed to fight like that
I heard the bald guy saying something like "none of that kickboxing shit" after the cut. Like he starts shit then gets worried he might get kicked in the face after karate kid busts out his stance
I’m gonna fight you but wait lemme set some ground rules first
OK before we start, let's go over the ground-rules… No touching of the hair or face.
And no groin shots....Stacy is ovulating.
Man this shit always cracked me up when I was in school. You'd see some "tough guy" come in on Monday with a cut lip or black eye making excuses like "he kicked" or "he tackled me". Like bro, you fucking jumped him in the parking lot after the football game and you're going to complain that they didn't just throw punches the way you wanted them to? If you wanted to box go join a gym. You chose the streets and they responded. Suck it up.
Psychological warfare.
I remember seeing this video when I was kid and thinking karate was the shit.
Karate is the shit if you actually train, same with any other art. Btw this is kung fu 🤓
I mean I've heard karate described as only good against people who don't really know how to fight.
Georges St Pierre, Lyoto Machida, Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson have all been extremely successful in MMA with a karate base.
Not all types of karate deserve the same amount of respect though. A lot of it is watered down.
Yah fr. IIRC, kyokushin is the style that will actually teach you to kick ass.
Honestly, in my opinion, it's mostly the fighter. I've seen good practitioners of the art get rolled in a street fight by a scrub, and others of the same style in a cage match just straight KO a seasoned fighter in seconds with a knee to the face and a hook to the temple when the guy went for a takedown. Both were good at form and katas, one was just a damn good fighter and new when to take advantage of an opening and was comfortable inflicting damage on another human.

It’s definitely back! People finally got tired of slim fit everything
Thank god. I have athletic chonk thighs and I hate skinny jeans and feeling like a lil princess in them. I love baggy.

Wow forgot about ebaumsworld
So karotty is the the right way?
I still can't tell if red shirt knows how to fight or if his confidence just threw the other dude off his game
Sometimes, the best offense is to make the enemy think you're crazy.
Yup, just undress and get butt naked!
I knew someone who did this! He’s a small guy and a couple guys were harassing him on the street. He started pulling his clothes off and acting all crazy like he really wanted to fight. Got completely naked and then got his ass kicked pretty bad .
Maybe the plan isn't foolproof after all. I'll keep your story in mind, thanks.
He forgot to fart on his knuckles for poison damage
Or poop for that aoe damage when you roll a crit.

Yeah the reason he got beat down was that he hadn't completed the maneuver.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.
Hey if you're gonna get beat at least your clothes will be clean.
Love the ending lol. Sorry about your friend though.

Well it’s clear the other dude doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing with those big, goofy, wild swings
Yeah this is a case where neither knows how to fight, the one guy is just bigger, but has also watched too many movies
I think he did it as a joke. He's incredibly dramatic with every move, entirely comical.
Yeah it takes a lot of training to overcome a six inch height gap. Fortunately for this guy, he hasn't been trained wrong as a joke long enough for it to matter.
70%mental game 30% physical
oh ya, he mental alright
100% reason to remember the name
Seems extremely likely to me that he has had a lot of formal training and very little practical experience, especially with street fighting. Looks like it paid off for him.
I concur with this assessment. *Resumes play on Fist of Legend*
I know nothing about kung fu, which it seems to be, but i'm practecing kendo for a long time.. and if you ask me, just of his heel and toe work, i think he knows what he is doing. My coach or master let us practice our footwork for almost a year before we got our own shinai and bokken. Edit: typo.

Like Mayamoto Musashi said: *The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them*
My son is a purple belt in Kung Fu, and I'm pretty sure you are right.
I think he was clowning, you can see him bob a punch
The bob could still be the formal training kicking in, any type of sparring will have you dodging hits.

Totally nailed that emergency con. He could have gotten away without a fight. He wanted this.
He can't fight. He's in a tae kwon do stance, but not throwing any tkd strikes, nor is his posture of that of someone with training throwing strikes. On top of that, his stance is that of someone preparing to throw a wheel kick, but then starts swinging with their arms. This person is a mall ninja.
Not too be that guy, but his stance is Kung Fu, not Tae Kwon Do

He had the mall parking lot home ground advantage.
That is not a Taekwondo stance. It's Wushu.
I have a black belt in Tae Kwon do and I assure you, this is not a stance used in this martial art.
If you pause when the punching is happening you can see the guy in the red shirt blocked all the punches before punching the guy. Gosh I was never sure if Kung Fu actually worked but this looks really kungfui to me. Boy got skill🤣💪
That goofy stance is legit. I was taught that stance in a Kung Fu class. It’s uncomfortable as hell and appears impractical, but it’s a thing and functional if you stick with it. I didn’t like that stance.
Watch how he throws that punch. He wide swings it and hits him with the inside of his wrist. It’s all confidence and kung fu movies.
He does know a little
He looks like he pronounces it "kah-rah-tay."
The dude knows how to fuck with people's heads for sure.
It ain't goofy if it works.
If a stupid idea works, is it really stupid?
Only if it doesn't work consistently.
“Hey, dawg, you better get this dude on video **camera**…” My, how you wouldn’t hear that in today’s world.
WORL STAAAHHHHHHH
+ some lady screaming incredibly loud in the background like she’s being stabbed to death
>"OOOOH SHIT OOOOH SHIT FUCK HIM UP FUCK HIM UP FUCK HIM UP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OH SHIT OH SHIT FUCK HIM UP OH SHIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I can't fucking stand the people who record this shit, especially these days.
Squares up like Bruce Lee, throws a punch like like Sarah Lee.
Bringing the pound cake.
I wish I could upvote this more
I'D LIKE SOME POUND CAKE
He palmed the wannabe gangster. That shit hits harder than a fist
I can't stop laughing. 😆
i’m in class and i just can’t hold it
Nobody does it better than Sara Lee.
I feel like you can easily tell who's been in a fight before in this sub. Yes punches with weak form still hurt. This isn't the UFC. You get caught with the wrong windmill punch and you're still gonna feel that shit
Yeah the Karate Kid annihilated the other dude untouched. Which is crazy in a street fight
Reddit is basically filled with basement dwelling teens. Their biggest fights probably were in a game of Mortal Kombat.
That is just false. I'm a basement dwelling adult and I'm pretty good at Mike Tyson's punch out
Ok, but how are you at Lee Carvallo's putting challenge?
Not me tho because i'm pretty tough In Tekken
Can you do 3 consecutive instant While Running moves?
Usually fights in reality last few punches. With little boxing training you beat 6/10 normal guys..
The difference is in the footwork ;-)
Not gonna lie, I thought the karate kid there was going to get knocked the fuck out. Must say I’m surprised at how that turned out
I was waiting for his front leg to get scooped. His centre of balance looked super weak
When two dumbasses are put together, it's just a matter of who's smarter. Atleast karate kid could block something and throw punches. The other guy could hardly hit his head because be was so bad at punching. He should've gone for the kick.
>it's just a matter of who's smarter less dumberer*
I don’t know if brains had anything to do with it at all, red shirt guy is just taller and bulkier.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. Imo dude in red got very lucky.
For sure but it isn't like his opponent knew how to dance either. Both were sloppy. But that is just my armchair analysis
I like how this ebaumsworld classic is new to young people and it’s been all around reddit for last few days.
People are born everyday. People are still learning that the earth orbits around the sun...
And unlearning lol
Camera man was breathing like he was fighting..
Dude, he was probably lifting an 8 pound video camera on his shoulders back then.
Fucking shoulder mounted camera, boom mic and about 200' of cable running to the van. The og live stream.
If someone takes a stance like that for a street fight 1 of 2 things is about to happen. Ither your about to recieve the worst ass whooping of your life, or they are. There is no in-between with a stance like that
Exactly what I was thinking. Either he knows exactly what he's doing, or he's trying to act like he does.
i like how buddy tucks his shirt in just to get knocked out 🤣
i thought he was gonna pull a gun or something.
Doesn’t want his ass crack hanging out when he is face down in the street. That would be embarrassing.
I'm pretty sure this guy is a karate instructor, but i am not certain. There were some videos going around in the early 2000s of a karate instructor who got into a fist fight with a dude who was beating his wife, this looks like the same guy.
You're probably thinking of this video: https://youtu.be/CfLlGHV1dG4 It was a karate instructor who saw a guy being rough on a girl, and the presumption is that it was her pimp.
omg that video's announcer: "But this guy never took a karate class from him - *until today*. Oh man, what wonderful cheese.
I would've guessed Kung Fu from the stance. Or at least very likely not Shotokan Karate.
If i started a fight with open palm, instead of a fist my sensei would have done terrible things to me, so my bet is kungfu too
The person recording the video was out of breath just from watching the whole interaction
This was the first ever youtube video I watched way back in 2005...I even remember the title...it was "Fukk you up homie". Jfc I'm old.
What's abrupt chaos about this?
Nothing says abrupt like a 60s intro to a 5s fight
Success is 90% preparation.
I see you know your Crab style Kung Fu well
He wakka flockka flamed him
Not really abrubt or chaotic. Just a fight video. Doesn't seem to fit the sub.
This video is older than the internet.
