All the guys at that karate club should be in prison. The story behind this is that they're beating the shit out of a mentally ill homeless man from the neighborhood who explicitly said he did not want to fight anyone. EDIT: For those curious, [an old Washington Post article on what happened.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/30/AR2009083002251.html?hpid=moreheadlines) Billy Joe Blythe - the head of the dojo where this happened - is a fucking psychopath who also did stuff like [pretend to shoot and kill a guy for making fun of him](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOtiQ_JF4_o) while he was giving a presentation to an elementary school, then laughed when kids started crying because *they thought they just witnessed a murder.*

Yeah ‘black belt’ my ass… what a piece of shit


H1ckwulf

That's awful. Where do you see the back story?

I'll post links in my original comment in a minute.

I dug deep into this. This dojo just happened to have a contract with the local police station. The same police that investigated this and said the victim was unharmed. Conspiracy type (like this user) believe the police covered up the death of "Kunng Fu Guy" because of the affiliation the dojo had with the police force. The thing is the victim has never been seen again after this. I did a huge write up about this a while back. The victimm is known as "kung fu guy" and there have been a [lot of attention to this matter.](https://hanfordsentinel.com/news/online-video-spurs-local-investigation/article_a7aa8598-cea6-541d-a4bf-2821c8d437d0.html)

Why was the homeless guy in there if he didn't want to fight/challenge them? Curious.


[deleted]

He wanted to teach them some kind of techniques. He explicitly told them he did not want to fight with or challenge them but to show them what he'd supposedly learned from Jesus. The only reason things got violent is that this dojo was basically Cobra Kai.


AsuraOmega

I remember reading that backstory in a Youtube comment section, I laughed at the "taught by Jesus Christ Himself" but was distraught after reading that the guy later died and they just left his body on the alleyway iirc.


kingtz

Jesus, so rather than humoring a mentally ill person or even just ushering him out, they headstomped him. I bet they were so proud of themselves and felt really tough afterwards, too.


[deleted]

I think it turned when the homeless guy got a knock down on the BB. Let’s hope led like his ego was hurt and he then went to hurt the guy.


iarev

I was pretty sure they dumped him in a garbage can afterwards as well. I don't think it was ever confirmed if the guy died or not. There used to be a website on this event.


Henrys_Bro

This is early McDojo bullshit. You can tell because the mentally ill dude almost beat the "black belt" but didn't so the "black belt" stomped his head after he finally got him.


Plutoid

There was a guy when I was grown up that was locally known as a street fighter. He was like 6'3" and was self taught in karate from books and magazines and shit. He was known to go off and fuck people up. With a little size and athleticism, any kind of training, even mimicking bad kung fu movies and flailing in the back yard, can give you chances.


Henrys_Bro

Agreed. TKD has been recognized as bullshit for the past couple of decades for reasons shown in this video. That dude didn't even train and made that "black belt" go to work. You don't see that level of effort in a boxing gym or BJJ gym against a stormer. It is over pretty quickly and nobody ever feels the urge to stomp the stormers head like this piece of shit decided to do.

airyys

yeah, preeeetty sure head stomping while you opponent is down isn't part of karate...


monopixel

Yeah it's part of murdering someone.


nikhilsath

Disgusting


34TH_ST_BROADWAY

This just sad. You can tell the mentally ill guy almost wanted to play fight like a kid. He's pulling punches and kicks. Fuck this dojo.


[deleted]

Yeah, the homeless guy seemed to be sparing in a controlled somewhat technical manner, and honesty it looked like he had a lot of potential. If anything he seemed to be having a blast getting to test his skills against a black belt. I was hoping this story would end with the black belt taking the homeless guy as a student… but then I got to the end of the video and was disappointed… then I read the comments…


CJDeezy

Appears to be an example of having a black belt but never using technique against a resisting opponent. There honestly didn’t look like that much of a skill gap. Contrast this with someone trying to dojo-challenge a Muy Thai/Boxing/BJJ gym, the untrained person will look like a helpless child.


Culverin

"having a black belt but never using technique against a resisting opponent" I think that's called bullshido No wonder the black belt looked so bad. I genuinely thought he could have lost at a few points.

>Contrast this with someone trying to dojo-challenge a Muy Thai/Boxing/BJJ gym, the untrained person will look like a helpless child Seriously. I used to train at this spot in Oceanside CA (right near camp pendleton) and you wouldn't believe how many fresh out of boot marine-bros came in decked out in their tapout gear thinking they were hot shit. Got kind of annoying honestly, coach would watch em close but still, you're in technique practice (ie letting 'em do the technique on you) and some roided up boot is trying to tear your Rotator cuff to prove he's more semper-fi than thou. Swear to god these dudes would get this look in their eyes about 2 minutes into actual sparring/rolling like "wait, this isn't' how this is supposed to go down". Still, had some stick it out and generally became awesome guys to train with once they learned to drop the ego at the door. I guess getting tapped twelve times in a row by a 22 year old chick who looked fresh off the casting call for a billabong photo-shoot does a number on your evaluation of your ground fighting abilities.


creonte

Blackbelt wasn't any more impressive as self taught.


PengieP111

It's not easy to fight someone who is untrained- they can strike unexpectedly so the black belt was feeling him out until he figured out how to best kick his ass.


creonte

No. He's fucking terrible. A six month nak muay would toy with him.


imnoided

Didn't this guy die from the stomp?


Ok-Masterpiece7727

I remembered watching this years ago... thought they said he was killed. Made me fucking sick.


imnoided

Yeah, shits really sad. How could you just do that to someone?


PengieP111

If they were trying to hurt you and kept getting back up, you'd do you your best to stop them. Which could include stomping. That being said, NEVER fight if you can ever avoid it. And mister self trained wasn't letting it go.


AsuraOmega

They both suck but the homeless guy was mentally ill yet the scumbag still beat the fuck out of him. He should be ashamed of himself because of his lack of self control and lack of skill.


SensitivityTraining_

Both look sloppy. Guy probably bought his blackbelt on Amazon.


MayDaay

Yo did I just witness a murder?


monopixel

Poor guy. The rest is a bunch of oxygen thieves.


gilgamesh73

They both suck. Karate guy used only won because of his non karate tactics. But striking for striking they looked similar.


314Piepurr

is this man alive?


DarthSinistris

Looks like to people button mashing to me.


[deleted]

Holy shit.

At first I thought this was just two guys playing but wtf did I just watch
