those are solid kicks!!! the opponent did not stand a chance!
If you view this more than once, you’ll see that the shirtless guy doesn’t even know how to throw a punch. He may have been (esp once the shirts and shoes come off) highly intoxicated.
I would guess that the majority of people fighting in the street are highly intoxicated…
Simple and good advice.
Shirtless guy has absolutely zero fighting experience. I would feel bad for him except that, with the shirt off, you know he was the one that picked the fight :/
Coincidentally, the shirtless guy is always the one to get arrested first.
Serious question, why is it that so many guys want to take their shirt off before a fight. Is it a Matthew McConaughey thing?
I think that it’s supposed to be an intimidation thing… like… “I have removed my shirt and therefore I am clearly ready to fight!”
It’s almost like when people are pointing guns at each other in the movies, and then they finally pull the hammer back to show the other guy that they really super duper mean business (usually on a gun type that doesn’t even have a hammer.)
“I didn’t take you seriously before but now that we’re STILL exactly one trigger pull away from my death, I shall start paying attention.”
There is a school of thought that humans instinctively start to shed clothing:
1. as part of the monkey dance where you pull off jacket/shirt and dramatically fling it on the ground to signal social dominance and your “willingness” to engage as an intimidation technique;
2. start to shed garments that can constrict your movements or that your opponent can grab and control you.
Interestingly the Gracies showed the world the opposite — here grab my thick robe-like gi so I now have control of your hands/you are not punching me. Welcome to my world where I pull you into the deep end of the pool.
I prefer to keep my clothes on, (especially my pants. On the other hand, if my opponent would take off his pants I’d be outta there..) during an altercation.. Haven had many for a while, luckily.
Anyway reason being I’m not the young god I used to be and I’d hate to be grabbed by the flabbies. That would just be extra embarrassment upon injury. Not a good look and I prefer to be crushed in style if I have to.
Also, if they grab my shirt I can be more like a sharpei dog and still move and twist my body sort of like the liquid terminator instead of just scream in pain.
A list of pros and cons is always useful…
This is hilarious AF!
It’s supposed to be for intimidation, especially if you have a six pack and chest muscles! I would remove it because the other person could grab onto it and hold you or use it to choke you.
Ive seen street fights that end up with one guy grabbing the other guys shirt and then it gets pulled over his head as the other guy tries to pull away. the unlucky bastard with the shirt pulled over his head is temporarily blinded and open to anything his opponent throws at him while he is scrambling to get out of his shirt. business shirts and ties can be used as a weapon against you. much more difficult to grab and control skin than fabric wrapped around your neck and torso.
Thank you for sharing the video, I counted seven kicks above the knee. That must have hurt and redirected his attention. The last strike (left jab) did the trick.
As a supplement to your advice, never be the shirtless guy. Added to my Trav’s Fight Smart checklist!!
Let’s be honest, these dad bods are best kept under wraps anyhow.
Especially in my case!!
Lol,he should have went home
That is a classic example of, “if ain’t broke don’t fix it”.
Kudos to leg kick, finish with a hook guy. Get shirtless guy’s email, I’ll send him a trav link to prep for the rematch.
Excellent realistic video – at least from what I’ve seen.
