Have you ever been bullied? Or maybe you know someone who has? Being at the receiving end of bullying can be one of the most emotionally –and most times, physically- traumatic experiences one has endured. If you’ve been bullied growing up you surely know what I’m talking about; if you haven’t I assume you can easily recognize the toll bullying takes on people.

Bullying is defined by government-run website stopbullying.gov as follows: “Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.” As you can see that’s a broad definition of bullying that suggest that it can –and often do– take many cruel forms.

Bullying is unfortunately a pretty widespread phenomenon, notably in the United States. Many parents, teachers, and authority officials are tackling this issue but a viable solution to put an end to it has yet to be found.

One solution that seems to carry quite a lot of credibility is punching a bully in the face until your hands hurt.

mma.tv does NOT condone the use of violence but well, it sometimes suffice to end bullying. Consider the following footage. Typical bullying set up. The bully pushes his victim to his limits and the victim fights back. What’s special about this video, though, is that the victim, obviously fed up, has poured all his rage into annihilating the bully.

This is probably the most poignant instances of a bullying victim standing his ground that I’ve ever seen.
