Not the best example of self defense, but it was effective

Please excuse the language in the video. The guy was called a skater f@g by these guys... apparently he didn't take to kindly to that. While he doesn't look trained, he stayed off the ground and kept moving. Interesting.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyKEeTLb9xw"]Mike Vallely Fights against 4 guys - YouTube[/ame]

 

The guys name is in the title of the video. If you google it he is listed as a 42 year old professional wrestler and a boxer, as well as an ex professional ice hockey player and professional skateboarder. The guys he was fighting looked about 17 years old.

What you have here is a sportsman/minor-celebrity with a big ego picking a fight with a bunch of loudmouth kids. A 42 year old man should know better than getting riled up by some kids.

 

Not getting into a fight with minors as a grown man over a social dominance display is self defense.

This is comedy.

 

Which is why I said "not the best example of self defense"... did you miss that part?

 

Well, maybe if kids these days got put in their place for running their mouth more often, there wouldn't be so many little punk kids out walking around wasting oxygen.

 

Just to clarify here... Mike Vallely was not a pro boxer. He may have done some boxing but my guess is that aside from the scraps he's been in... he hasn't spent any serious amount of time training as a boxer. If you have a source that shows otherwise to be true please post it up. Looking at his movement in this vid... doesn't look like a boxer to me at all. Just someone who's knows how to swing for the rafters. He only became a pro hockey player in recent years. He wasn't a pro hockey player or wrestler or boxer at the point this vid was filmed. Again if you've have any source that shows otherwise... please post up.

Err... no. The video is years old to begin with. It's got to be more than 8 or 9 years old at least! In fact this was posted ages ago on MAP. And it was already somewhat old at that time. So you're making an assumption that because he's 42 now it was shot when he was 42. I doubt thats the case.

Secondly you're having a go at Mike V. based on your assumption regarding how old the other guy looks. This is foolish to say the least. I know 15 year old kid who would swing on a full grown man without thinking about it and theres a good number of them who could lay a full grown man flat.

Mike V. got static and sorted it out. That's that. Premptive strike, ggression, violence of action and sustain. Picture perfect the way I see it. Don't try to jump in put him down for handling his business. That's crazy talk.

 

Rubbish. At what point do you let the situation escalate till you don't stand a chance? Let the other person swing on you first... while outnumbered?

What world are you people living in? Obviously not one that has to deal with violence on any sort of regular basis.

 

First off, this video is definitely old hat for MAP and I remember seeing it when I first joined up years ago. Second . . . this is by far one of my favorite DMX songs, and the editor did an awesome job in the timing of the lyrics starting during the engagement.

This video is kind of nostalgic.

You shouldn't condone or expose yourself to videos like this Saved, Jesus wouldn't approve.

(JOKE! )

 

The vid was already being kicked around forums around the net in 2006...

 

I'm trying to find it through the search function as I specifically remember this video being posted a long time ago. Not sure if I posted in the actual thread though and with a couple thousand posts myself this is becoming rather tedious.

Edit: If anyone has some ideas for key words it would prove helpful : P

 

He has a history of fighting, here is him and his mates commentating on the fight you posted:

The guy is a complete idiot.

 

None of which addresses anything I posted really.

 

Not in that way... I am saying that kids these days run their mouth a lot to people... and then sometimes you run across a guy like this that doesn't care how old you are. I never said he was in the right.. neither are the kids who called him a skater f@g either though are they? IMO both were at fault.

 

lol, yeah I know, but now I don't care what anyone here thinks of me. My God will judge me... not anyone here.

 

whether idiot or not, this is the kind of world we live in my friend. It is unfortunate, but has become a part of our culture.

 

oh please. Obviously you do or you wouldn't have posted the tidbit above.
