Analyzation of a REAL fight.

At the bottom of this post is a link to a video clip of an actual fight on a bus that was recently released on YouTube. There is valuable information to learn form it.

WARNING: The video clip is violent and features explicit language and comment.

Here are some of the great learning examples one can draw form it:

1. I think its a great example of how Forward Pressure can also be Termination.

2. Great example of quickly the actual "physical" elements of a fight can start.

3. Great example of How quickly a fight can end, and how much damage can be caused in such a short amount of time.

4. It's a great example of the right tools used for close quarter combat (no room for kicking or grappling).

5. Notice the power generated form the wider stance. More squared like Muay Thai, or the famous Boss Rutan MMA stance.

6. Also how boxing/striking is used most effectively as an initial offensive technique IF you decided you are going to be the aggressor and take this fight to the top-level.

7. Great example of how the other individual could not Box back once the fight began due to the forward pressure, thus illustrating that sparring is not fighting, and fighting is not sparring.

8. Notice the age of the man throwing the punches (67 years old). A great example that Martial Arts isn't just for kids, and that one can survive a fight using the both technique and strategy (Forward Pressure). You're NOT too old to train!

9. Most importantly its Great example of how feeding into another's aggression and stupidity only leeds to bad things.

I was going to place in this discussion a comment about, "Please try to ignore the racial insinuations and terminology that are used leading up to the fight", however I do not think they should be ignored, because they are the most telling indicators of how one finds themselves in this type of situation, by allowing yourself to be controlled by emotion and not intellect. Regardless of the outcome, this fight would not have happened if it were not for the ignorance and lack of self control by both participants.

I think there is a lot to learn from this video on many levels, just click on the link below:
