One Shot, One Kill in Huddersfield

[650lb Sumo]

I don't have any info about this video. The victim looks like a tourist from the USA. Some in the comments are saying it's Huddersfield and the puncher is a Muslim immigrant. Although some say Manchester. The shouter does have an accent from there or at least somewhere near.

Edit: The video seems to be down. As always I can be tagged to post a mirror.

Yeah. That body posture could be seen from the

To be so oblivious of someone's body language that is standing right there in front of you is so bizzare to me.

This is why my son, who is 15 and just started seriously training in Muay Thai a year ago after 8 years of Jiu-Jitsu, gets sent street fight videos from me.

Like a quarterback watching game footage, you must study and practice.

Situational awareness, in a way, is arguably MORE important than actual fight training, at least when it comes to safety.
You are teaching your son a very valuable lesson

So many of these clips have sucker punches where a smarter person would have known not to remain within arms reach of someone displaying hostile behavior.

What a shittu world we live in.

Those young kids have to figure out what they are processing now.

I mean he shouldn't have even walked anywhere near Mr Black Jacket, let alone stopped and engaged, never mind the telegraphing during the conversation.

The chance of having even a neutral, let alone a positive encounter with a stranger who looks like that approaching you in the street is -273C.

bingo. it doesn't matter how good you can fight if you can't recognize the threat. the guy has a knife up in your gut before you even realized he was a psycho.

Perfect video showcasing "individual from a high trust society" vs "individual from a low trust society".

Aren't you enriched?

While we're discussing this kind of thing, (a bit) outside arm's reach isn't enough to relax. Someone with some training and/or experience can step forward from outside arm's length and throw a punch very quickly. Training at boxing/MMA etc. will give you some warning that a strike is inbound. But the striker obviously has the advantage there, unless you are like a prime Naseed Hamed, or at least there is a big skill discrepancy in your favour.

Inevitably the question follows well what if someone keeps approaching to an unsafe distance after I have backed off? Or there's a wall or whatever and I can't retreat to a safe distance. To which I say strike first.

Obviously this applies to genuine self defence situations like in the OP, not an OAP hitting you with her handbag or something.

Spot on. What’s with people these days turning a blind eye to shifty behavior?! People need to ignore words, not actions
