WARNING: GRAPHIC. I mean it. Be warned. This fist fight made me wince more than once. There are enough Active Self Protection lessons to make it worth showing you, but fist fights this raw and this nasty are tough to watch. Could you have survived this? Original, with audio: goo.gl/LxHDJ3 I removed the audio because all it contained was the guy filming screaming World star! and then the victor here hurling racial epithets at the end. Not helpful. Lessons: 1. There is always the unknown opponent. Always. Youre never just fighting the man standing in front of you, but his unknown buddies as well. This is why fights of all kinds are so dangerous. The answer is to stay aware of your surroundings even in a fight, but thats exceedingly difficult and you need lots of practice to do it. 2. This is exactly how a fist fight turns into a deadly force encounter. The loser of this fight may well be mortally or grievously injured by the repeated head trauma. The move at the end is clearly attempted murder at least. In my opinion a second person entering a fight turns it into a justifiable reason to defend myself with deadly force if I am reasonably in fear for my safety, like this man clearly could have been. 3. Even IF he had a gun, notice the situation he was in. He needed some incredibly strong Gun Fu to get the space and time to get to any tools. On his back, with his hands occupied, he was a sitting duck. Learn how to use the ground to your advantage and to work yourself into spots to get to your tools. 4. The guy who ends up losing LOOKS like the initial aggressor to me, though thats sketchy. If he is, the defender lost all rights and all defense when he kept going once the threat ended. I wouldnt be upset about a friend helping me peel a bad guy off of me, but the minute the fight is over youve got to let it be over. Or youll do lots of jail time. 5. Once again, the Bystander Effect is in full force. Never count on help from the crowd. Attitude. Skills. Plan.
