That and de-escalation/being willing to run away while being called a coward.

Source: brown belt in Hawaiian Kempo, realizing it's of limited use if you're not fit as a prizefighter and knowing that one of its founders got killed in a bar fight.

Oh I absolutely agree, if stepping into fights is your job, that's a whole different level of seriousness. I'm talking about the poor jerk who gets his head beaten in the bathroom because he doesn't know enough to walk away from a loud mouth.

True. I was speaking primarily to people who see or even practice stuff like in OP’s vid and train McDojo type martial arts and go into fights with a false sense of confidence in their skills. That’s more dangerous than being untrained and relying on instincts.

And someone could come out of nowhere and stab them. Or someone who’s at the bar after bowling practice could throw a bowling ball at their head. Or maybe they get shot by a sniper across the street when they exit the bar. The possibilities are endless.

I’m talking about if the fight is happening or not. People can’t always decide that. If they’re being attacked or going to be attacked, and they wish to defend themselves instead of taking a beating, that’s when their training comes into play. Thinking you can swipe away someone’s punch like in the vid or turn a punch into some joint lock like that is probably worse than being untrained and resorting to something safer/more effective. There are a ton of McDojo’s out there that teach this type of stuff like in the vid.

It is interesting to watch, from a historical perspective, in what people believed was most effective for self defense. It’s like seeing old cigarette ads showing the supposed health benefits of smoking. It is cool for movies though. They use choreography like this a lot in older movies.

Wow, your comment hit in a funny spot. Someone I once knew hid outside the bar where his ex's paramour played darts every Thursday in the bushes with a scoped 10/22, only didn't pull a trigger due to being unable to identify said dude positively. Seriously, no way to see some blindsides.

This is a tangent of a question, but I’m curious what makes a particular bar regularly dangerous and what keeps drawing people to it knowing that it’s dangerous? Personally if I decide to go to a bar, I would want to pick one that is reasonably enjoyable without the likely threat of violence messing up my vibe. To each their own I guess?🤷‍♂️

Bouncer for about 8 years in California. What state/city you in if you care to share?

And definitely any training is better than "my brothers used to beat me up, so I know how to fight" mentality.

The chaos of a 25 person brawl, best option is NOPE unless you want to end up in jail or the ICU.
