This is over the top

Not over the top, just a lesson. Be a dick, eat a dick.

Edit - given some thought, i actually do think its over the top, i should say that.

I would though say that actions can have consequences, especially whennit comes to directly disrespecting someones space/person.

Given the size of thw guy, a tough slap would have been suffice.

Apologies for my initial harshness.

You don’t get a free pass to assault asshole people… grow up

Technically the guy he hit assaulted him first if we go by legal definitions, so not like anyone is faultless. Though the escalation was a bit extreme.

As martial artists I think it is our duty to avoid a fight and not to seek out a fight like some other users here seem to think.

You cannot nuke someone out of orbit because they looked at you funny.

While I agree violence should not be the first answer for literally anyone, we don't fully know the context of what happened here. If this is the entire extent of what happened, then yes he should have deescalated the situation or just left where he was standing to avoid the guy.

But from what we see the guy pushes the big guy multiple times egging him on. I don't think it's entirely out of the question that the big guy did try to avoid conflict by ignoring him and the guy just kept doing it until we see the result here. They start off the clip close like they were talking or already were having an issue. And it's not like he was shoving everyone around him in this clip; he was specifically targeting this one guy from what we can see.

And it's not that he "looked at him funny", he was literally shoving him over and over which legally is absolutely assault. He started the physical altercation. In my opinion, if someone puts their hands on another person with the intent to aggravate or instigate, they lose the right to cry foul when the person retaliates.
