What would make someone pick a fight with a homeless man? I don’t know. But in this video someone does it, and it goes poorly for him. He starts by slapping the homeless man through his upraised hands. He tells the homeless man to put his hands down. He doesn’t. Onlookers urge on the fight, filming. The aggressor then circles around collecting a cord trailing from his pocket. When he comes back to face the homeless man he gets what’s coming.

He grips the aggressor’s (jean jacket) collar and sleeve, spins him around, and locks in a standing rear naked choke. He applies it with his back to the wall as onlookers jeer and jibe. Then when the aggressor goes visibly unconscious the onlookers yell He good and Chill and he is let down to the ground. Perfect defense.

The homeless man obviously had training. He got the choke quickly, controlled it calmly, and released the attacker gently. He also took initiative and did not let his aggressor throw a punch. This video exhibits the power of limited martial arts on the street. In the day of mainstream martial arts, street bullies beware!
