Thug Gets Owned by Yuppie (Street Fight)

Thug Owned by YuppieThis video contains way too much language and violence to be appropriate for any kids. But for the rest of us, this is hilarious!

In the beginning this punk is screaming and yelling at this other guy that he wants to kick his ass. And it actually appears to me that the other guy is trying to avoid the conflict. But at some point I guess he decides it’s not possible. I love the look on his face. It’s kind of like “Oh well, I told you so.”

The Famous Flying Jump Kick

First of all, I guarantee you’ll never be able to get this picture out of your head for as long as you shall live. After you’ve digested that, you’re going to start wondering…

  • How did this fat guy actually get that kind of air?
  • What the hell was he thinking?
  • I wonder what the landing looked like?

Cung Le is a Shaolin Warrior

Cung LeAt 5′10″ and 180 pounds, Cung Le is not exactly a giant among men - although he’s pretty big for a Vietnamese guy. But trust me when I tell you this, you don’t want to be on the receiving end of anything he’s throwing your way.

Cung is one of the world’s greatest fighters. Bar none. I don’t care if we’re talking about boxing, MMA, Jiu Jitsu, or anything else. Pound for pound I’m not sure there is another man that can stand toe to toe with him in a ring for any amount of time. And his nearly perfect record pretty much underscores that point.

Chuck Norris Facts

Chuck NorrisThere seems to be some rumors going around about Chuck Norris and what he is, and isn’t capable of. These rumors seem to be perpetuated partially due to the fight scene I previously shared in which Bruce Lee kicks Chuck Norris’ Ass.

However, I assure you that was merely acting, and in order to clear this matter up I wanted to pass along the following list of facts:

  • Children go to bed in Superman pajamas, but Superman goes to bed in Chuck Norris pajamas.
  • Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird.
  • Chuck Norris counted to infinity … Twice.
  • Chuck Norris can speak Braille.
  • Chuck Norris does not read books. He just stares them down until they give him the information he wants.
  • Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim through dry land.
  • Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep, he waits.
  • Chuck Norris doesn’t dodge bullets, bullets dodge Chuck Norris.
  • Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.
  • There is no such thing as evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
  • Chuck Norris is able to divide by zero.
  • When Chuck Norris is entering a room he is not turning the lights on. He turns the darkness off.

Human Weapon Kicks Ass!

Human WeaponMy favorite two things to watch on TV are Human Weapon, staring Bill Duff and Jason Chambers, and Ultimate Fighting Championship. Human Weapon is a show where Jason and Bill travel around the world studying all of the various martial arts for a week at a time, and then create a one hour documentary covering the history, techniques and science behind the various styles.

Bill Duff and Jason ChambersBill is a former pro football player and wrestler, and Jason is a former Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Bill for example is huge. At 6′4″ and 280 lbs when he travels around he’s normally the biggest human in the building. It’s especially challenging for the Asian countries to match his size. However, he’s not as quick as a smaller fighter. Jason is very fast, and technically more proficient. At 170lbs and 5′11″ he’s very close to my size. (After the Marines I weighted in at 176 and 6′.)

Jason and Bill have traveled all over the world and studied everything from Muay Thai to Pankration, to Silat - plus about 13 other styles that you may or may not have ever heard of. The show is just plain bad ass, and luckily you can watch a lot of the clips over on the History Channel site.

Guest Star!Author of this article, Hrafn Th. Thorisson

By Guest Star: Hrafn Th. Thorisson of Think Artificial

Boxer with his glows showingIt’s a relatively well known fact that to throw a heavy punch you should put your body into it. This might sound simple enough in theory. Yet, during the years I used to practice mixed martial arts I observed quite a few people understand the idea, but still utterly fail in its application. Here’s a summary of how to throw a heavy punch, and a couple of nifty tricks I learned to help get it right.

Bruce Lee Kicks Chuck Norris’ Ass

How cool is this? I didn’t even know Bruce and Chuck were ever in a movie together, but someone found and posted this excellent clip of the two of them going at it!

It’s a little slower than the “Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger” action sequences we see today, but I tend to like this a little better anyway.

By the way, Chuck commits one of the classic blunders right behind never get involved in a land war in Asia. Never go up against Bruce Lee when death is on the line!

Chloe Bruce, Martial Artist Extraordinaire

Chloe BruceGenerally speaking, my personal philosophy is to never make a woman mad if there is any way to avoid it. This is doubly true when it comes to Chloe Bruce, the martial arts expert.

Not only has Chloe won… well, like every major martial arts championship on earth, she is also a model and actress who serves as a double in martial arts films.

So basically, this makes Chloe the hottest woman on earth who can definitely kick your ass!

Breakdancing as an Olympic Sport

Video CameraAnyone that thinks that break dancing died in the 80’s is seriously mistaken.

These guys are serious athletes and are elevating break dancing to a whole new level. I’m wondering if these are the same guys that are doing all of the insane gymnastic-like karate moves..
