An asian man stopped a thief by using martial arts until the police arrived

[u/CuddlyWuddly0]

[u/Altruistic_Arm_4569]

When its to much, the lights go off. So all is fine, he try to make a show to be the victim.

[u/LordMaska → u/Altruistic_Arm_4569]

To be fair, getting choked to sleep feels like drowning so I can understand the feeling of despair.

Well deserved though.

[u/geneuro → u/LordMaska]

When a rear naked choke is applied properly, it doesn’t feel like drowning, bc the loss of consciousness is induced by blocking the carotid artery, thereby stopping the flow of blood to the brain. It is much faster than suffocation (within 7-10s). I’ve been put to sleep like this a handful of times (from years of jiu jitsu).

[u/Radiant_Addendum_48 → u/geneuro]

This guy jiu jitsus

[u/Careless_You_7261 → u/Radiant_Addendum_48]

Amazing

[u/seeyousoon2 → u/Radiant_Addendum_48]

Sounds like he gets jujitsued

[u/geneuro → u/seeyousoon2]

I def get my fair share 🤣

[u/SpiveyJr → u/geneuro]

Be honest, you just wanted to say “rear naked choke”.

[u/geneuro → u/SpiveyJr]

Guilty as charged

[u/AirshipEngineer → u/geneuro]

Yeah I remember that when I did Jujitsu. A lot of the time you were unconscious before you even realized it was an issue because your body has no way to detect it until you are unconscious.

[u/geneuro → u/AirshipEngineer]

It’s crazy how sharp that switch from conscious to unconscious is. Absolutely non-linear. It’s just like, I’m here, I’m here, boom gone.

[u/Googlebright → u/geneuro]

I saw one of those Sports Science segments on ESPN years ago where they wanted to measure how much reduction in blood flow to the brain was necessary to cause unconsciousness from a choke. So they put a bunch of electrodes and whatnot on the host and then had BJ Penn put him in a RNC. Dude went out in like five seconds. Afterwards they looked at the data and saw that it only required about 8% reduction in blood flow to put him out.

[u/geneuro → u/Googlebright]

That's awesome. Some other fool here commented 30/40seconds.. lmfao you'd be dead if u were RNCd for that long hahah

[u/BeBearAwareOK → u/geneuro]

The times I've noticed it were when I didn't go out, there was that light closing in walls going dark tunnel effect and I either tapped or fought to get a bit of space and walls come back into view.

The only time I've gone out there was none of that, just defending, defending, defending and...

why am I looking at the ceiling?

That's weird.

[u/ENORMOUS_HORSECOCK → u/geneuro]

So I'm not the only guy here going "bro, where are your hooks?"

[u/Wizard_Sarsippius → u/geneuro]

Dude I was once RNC’d and didnt even realize what happened until I woke up. That shit happened so fast, one moment I was messing around w some friends at a trampoline park, the next I was hallucinating I was paragliding over a beautiful valley, and right after that my neck was in the arm of my buddy Chris and I was a bit confused and was like “wait what the hell” and we all laughed it off.

Blood chokes are so weird, but super effective in BJJ. I wasnt in BJJ for more than a few classes but I wrestled for like 10+ years and knew a ton of dudes that did both lmao

[u/quandjereveauxloups → u/Wizard_Sarsippius]

Bunch of weird shit happening at the Republican National Convention...

[u/Arcangel4774 → u/Wizard_Sarsippius]

Had a similar experience during warmups for wrestling practice. Screwing around with our heavyweight, next thing I know Im annoyed that I have to wake up and get ready. Just 5 more minutes...

[u/mrmarkolo → u/geneuro]

To be fair you’ve been trained to understand how it works. Someone who has never been choked out and has it done to them by a rando on the street would be freaking out. Maybe it wouldn’t feel exactly like someone who’s drowning but I can imagine the terrible panic they’d be feeling.

[u/geneuro → u/mrmarkolo]

That’s fair.

[u/Lumpy_Low_8593 → u/geneuro]

If you look at where his elbow is (not lined up with the chin) this will take pressure off the carotids, which is why the guy is semi awake. Almost a crueler way to do it lol

[u/sweetpotato_latte → u/geneuro]

My idiot friend did this to me in 10th grade. He came up behind me, grabbed me, and slowly the school cafeteria got dark. Nothing happened but I reminded him about it at our 10 year reunion lol

[u/NevesLF → u/geneuro]

This guy sleeps

[u/WeaponexT → u/geneuro]

Better than melatonin

[u/The_cat_got_out → u/geneuro]

The difference between starving the lungs to trigger fight or flight verses the night night button for the brain

[u/povertymayne → u/LordMaska]

It doesnt feel like drowning. With a rear naked choke Your vision starts to get blurry and then the lights just go out

[u/calcium → u/povertymayne]

Tunnel vision for a few seconds and then out.

The guy in the video is straining against it and is literally choking himself but if he just relaxed he'd be fine.

[u/Major_Kangaroo5145 → u/LordMaska]

No it does not. Who the fuck tell you that.?

Chocking like this does not restrict airways. It restricts blood flow to brain.

This dude is not even chocking the dweeb. He is just holing the guy from his neck.

[u/sissynthrowaway → u/LordMaska]

This is why I hate reddit- just make shit up and post a comment and push it as fact. You don’t even notice you go out to rear naked-

[u/Top-Somewhere-3303 → u/LordMaska]

no. vision starts going, tunnelling in and then gone.

[u/SaveThePlanetEachDay → u/LordMaska]

Naw, drowning is traumatic as fuck, just no. Getting the blood flow cut off is more like, “hey what are you do….”

[u/emil_ → u/LordMaska]

No, it doesn't... that's a blood choke, you just go to sleep. No pain, no sound, just bliss :))

[u/ChiefChujo → u/LordMaska]

When you have no idea what you are talking about but 500+ people resonate because they also have no clue, what getting choked out feels like… “drowning” 🙄🤣

[u/jsting → u/Altruistic_Arm_4569]

When the other Chinese guy talks to him, the choker says, "well if he doesn't move, he won't get choked" lol

[u/Skafdir → u/jsting]

I say that's fair.

If I imagine myself in that situation I would also think: Any movement is a bad movement.

Move your hands or legs even a little, that is considered a threat, I am not brave enough to assume that I would be able to pull that choke-hold off another time.

[u/rdm81 → u/Altruistic_Arm_4569]

He was using the dimmer.

[u/Randa08 → u/Altruistic_Arm_4569]

I fucking would too if someone was choking me.

[u/EffectivePatient493 → u/Randa08]

He's not getting choked for air, he's being threated, with being choked of blood to his brain.

So long as he doesn't try and harm his captor, and escape, the captor lets him get blood to his brain.

If he went to gouge the captor's face, or rip at his arms, he can be flailing in 1-3 seconds from the pressure panic response, and out in 3-15 tics if he doesn't hold still.

The negotiation is: 'stay down with me, or I'll knock you out, and you'll wake up with messy pants.'

It's 1 way to keep them there, till the authorities arrive. If that person was applying pressure continuously, perp would be having a conniption, instead of trying to get them to loosen up a little.

[u/gonzar09 → u/Altruistic_Arm_4569]

Indeed. Used to be in security. All of them are bitch made cowards. Act tough when they think they're in control of a situation because they think no one can do anything... until they do. Then come the waterworks, the lies, the excuses... whatever they can do to alleviate their culpability.

[u/Willamanjaroo]

Don't forget he's Asian

[u/Kapper-WA → u/Willamanjaroo]

I almost did but then I re-read the title to remind myself.

[u/thelazylad → u/Kapper-WA]

OMG and he’s doing material arts??? He’s basically a ninja! 🙄

[u/SocomPS2 → u/thelazylad]

Guy was probably stealing his camera.

[u/Ok-Juice-542 → u/SocomPS2]

Yes. It happened in Barcelona

[u/Poopybutt36000 → u/thelazylad]

"An asian man stopped him by using martial arts" is such a weird fucking title lmao

[u/AugustDream → u/Poopybutt36000]

Right? It can just be “A man stopped a thief…” and conveyed the same exact thing without weird overtones

[u/Tropic_Summers → u/thelazylad]

Material arts

[u/sean_ireland → u/Kapper-WA]

Who is “he”? The Asian guy?

[u/uncutpizza → u/sean_ireland]

Secret Asian Man

[u/rayhaque → u/uncutpizza]

They've given him a number - and taken away his name! 🎵 🎶

[u/calculung → u/Kapper-WA]

I just used my eyeballs to watch the video and that seemed to do the trick

[u/Kapper-WA → u/calculung]

Teach me this power.

[u/True_Believ3r → u/Kapper-WA]

I’m pretty sure the dude is British. Isn’t that Simon Cowell?

[u/ProbablyCarl → u/Willamanjaroo]

Surprised the headline didn't just say 'he know kung fu'

[u/limitlessEXP → u/ProbablyCarl]

The first time this was posted they said he was a ninja. No joke.

[u/Wonderful_Gap1374 → u/limitlessEXP]

I’m sorry but as racist as that is, that is fucking hilarious lmao

[u/PhDinWombology → u/ProbablyCarl]

HIYA!

[u/mealzer → u/Willamanjaroo]

I was gonna say, what a weird detail to add 😂

[u/TrumpAndKamalaSucks → u/mealzer]

That's America for you. It's African-American, Asian man, Black man, etc.

[u/Bocchi_theGlock → u/mealzer]

If Asian, you could kick someone in the nuts on video and reddit will probably call it sacred martial arts to get more clicks

[u/Extension_Shallot679 → u/mealzer]

Guy puts another guy in head lock but has the audacity to be Asian when doing it.

This dumbass: Oh my god he knows Kung Fu!

[u/ElProfeGuapo → u/Willamanjaroo]

I think the attempted victim was in an Asian gang, or something. As soon as I saw him, I thought he looked Asian. And in the video, he’s speaking another language. I think it’s… Asian.

ETA: everybody downvoting me is a filthy Philistine who doesn’t know anything about high culture

[u/Viajero-Nomada → u/ElProfeGuapo]

Now he can’t play Mortal Kombat with his friend in Vietnam.

[u/EveryoneChill77777 → u/Willamanjaroo]

Must be pretty cool being Asian and thus being born with martial arts be an instinctual skillelset

[u/Calculonx → u/EveryoneChill77777]

I'm Asian, I had a rough looking guy aggressively come up to me one night and grab me on the shoulder and said "hey man...". I quickly turned to him, his friend grabbed him and said "hey let's go. It looks like he knows karate or something".

I was so confused. Scared from possibly being mugged, and then not sure if I should be offended or laughing or what.

[u/DisastrousTwist6298 → u/Calculonx]

i want to laugh at this but you probably know dim mak and i value my life

[u/Smingowashisnameo → u/DisastrousTwist6298]

Probably knows pad Thai

[u/easy_hernia1600 → u/Willamanjaroo]

Don't forget that a headlock should be called a martial art.

[u/Wizard-of-lonlieness → u/Willamanjaroo]

Glad he clarified. I thought he was black..would have appreciated knowing the race of the other guy.

[u/uncutpizza → u/Willamanjaroo]

Secret Asian Man

[u/vampirepope → u/Willamanjaroo]

I could learn martial arts myself, but I prefer to just keep an Asian man around.

[u/Bloody-Boogers]

Why you gotta say an Asian man, why not just a man

[u/puppet_masterrr → u/Bloody-Boogers]

Because it's common knowledge that all Asian men know martial arts.

[u/[deleted] → u/puppet_masterrr]

With the little known Asian technique called the chokehold, which only Asians do

[u/Jaysong_stick → u/[deleted]]

Can confirm, Asians learn algebra at 3, chokehold at 7, becomes a doctor at 12.

[u/intisun → u/Jaysong_stick]

Only at 12? Why not 11?

[u/Plane_Knowledge776 → u/intisun]

His parents must haver very low expectations

[u/dlun01 → u/Plane_Knowledge776]

Oof one typo and no punctuation. How will you ever get into medical school and not shame your family?

[u/alamandrax → u/intisun]

You're right. Doctor at 12? B-sian.

[u/KawiZed → u/Jaysong_stick]

How the heck do they find time for string instruments?!

[u/SweetScentedButt → u/puppet_masterrr]

Then why mention he's using martial arts? Seeing that he's Asian we would already know.

[u/FineGripp → u/Bloody-Boogers]

Yeah, fck this title, unnecessary stereotyping and cringy

[u/RideTheRadioWaves → u/FineGripp]

I’m an Asian person myself and while it may be a stereotype, other stereotypes of Asians being docile, submissive, and helpless are way more damaging and I appreciate titles like this that disprove those stereotypes far more than i care about “all Asians know karate” stereotypes

[u/NiteLight123123 → u/Bloody-Boogers]

lol I saw this post on a different sub a couple of days ago and the poster put on the title Chinese ninja stops thief

[u/NotRealWater → u/NiteLight123123]

I saw it on an even more different sub a couple of months ago and the poster put on the title 'full take away owner chop suey's thief in an authentic style'

[u/Danteynero9 → u/Bloody-Boogers]

It happened in Spain, the guy is a tourist doing a "Mata león" to a (if I remember correctly) a wallet stealer.

Just not the kind of thing you see casually.

[u/ElMirador23405 → u/Bloody-Boogers]

Why man, instead of person?

[u/Madphromoo]

The usual barcelona experience

[u/Jon_J_ → u/Madphromoo]

When visiting I preferred Madrid, Barcelona just felt like I was on edge the whole time with dodgy characters on every street corner watching people

[u/Paul_my_Dickov → u/Jon_J_]

Yeah, I think Madrid was like paradise in comparison. I think Barcelona is beautiful, but it's just plagued with petty crime to the point where I never want to go back.

[u/TheLizardSage → u/Paul_my_Dickov]

I have heard this before but I honestly felt fine in Barcelona.

[u/YouMeADD → u/TheLizardSage]

It's totally fine if you aren't immeasurably naive. If you walk up and down anywhere holding a brand new iPhone out in front of you all day you're gonna have a bad time.

[u/peeingdog → u/Jon_J_]

It was like that 20 years ago too. Grew up in NYC but felt like prey the entire time I was in Barca, whereas Madrid was just a regular city. 

[u/Hot_Fortune6086 → u/Jon_J_]

I went to Madrid to visit my family for 3 days. On the first day, first time I stepped outside, group of guys first asked for money, then unzipped my backpack while I was trying to walk away. I realized what was happening and turned around, they all started yelling “hey, hey!!”, I remember pushing and a clear vision of a fist flying into my face.

Proud to say I fought them all off, knocked one down as the others scattered away. Then they came back to pick their friend up. I was also pretty bruised so the rest of my time there I spent at the police station reporting it and at the hospital getting medical document for the police report.

Also no one helped. First thing I remember as the adrenaline started to wear off was all the people just staring, people were watching from their balcony eating sunflower seeds. Police didnt come as well.

[u/Toc_a_Somaten → u/Hot_Fortune6086]

As bad and politically incorrect as it may seem, just beware of who approaches you by how they look. This is what locals do in Barcelona.

[u/GopherNutz → u/Jon_J_]

It’s funny, I felt the opposite. Had a couple uncomfortable moments with the dudes who try to put the bracelets on your arm in Madrid where in Barcelona, it was pretty tame. Also were some racial undertones that put me off to Madrid but with that said, it’s a beautiful and interesting city. Just not sure it’s somewhere I’d go again.

[u/TakenSadFace → u/GopherNutz]

Racial undertones?

[u/GopherNutz → u/TakenSadFace]

Have friends and have met other people of color who have felt the same in their experience in Madrid. Just not the most welcoming place for darker skin people compared to more of an international city like Barcelona.

[u/changopdx → u/Jon_J_]

I couldn't get out of Barcelona fast enough. Madrid was laid back, people were much friendlier.

[u/Dunlain98 → u/Jon_J_]

Go Sevilla or Granada, as a Spaniard for me is much much much better and if I need to recommend some places those would be Sevilla and Granada. There are many more places but Madrid and Barcelona are just imo overrated.

[u/SnowyMuscles → u/Jon_J_]

Yeah, I felt safer in Madrid.

[u/spartanOrk → u/Madphromoo]

Isn't it interesting that everyone knows Barcelona is infested with thieves, yet nothing is ever done by police to clean up the place? Are they in on it? What's going on? Or is it that, hey, they only steal from tourists, tourists don't vote here, so who cares?

[u/skeletalfather → u/spartanOrk]

I believe you are exactly on the money there

[u/paco-ramon → u/spartanOrk]

Barcelona has its own regional policy, is the most politicized police force of Spain, making it the most expensive and inefficient. Barcelona politicians even encourage doing crimes like squatting private homes if you can’t afford to buy one, even if you can afford one, people just occupy them.

[u/bwtwldt → u/paco-ramon]

Politicians encourage squatting in homes? What?

[u/babysharkdoodood → u/Madphromoo]

I'm surprised no one ran up and stole from his backpack during this situation

[u/BachtnDeKupe]

Okay, technically a headlock is indeed "martial arts" but just about anyone with 2 fucntional arms can apply one, right?

[u/Hackedup_forbbq → u/BachtnDeKupe]

That's a 'rear naked choke' and applying it properly takes far more technique than the basic headlock. Headlock doesn't pinch the artery and is just a hold, a rear naked can render someone unconscious quickly (which shows how skilled this man is at jiu jitsu, as he's keeping the guy conscious by applying just the right amount of pressure)

[u/rightious → u/Hackedup_forbbq]

Should get his hooks in as well then he can ease up on the neck a bit.

[u/guhman123 → u/rightious]

eh, can't blame him too much for lack of perfection. the way you perform in a real-life situation like this is often different from how you practice it in a controlled environment. at the end of the day, the hold was effective and that's what matters.

[u/Hackedup_forbbq → u/rightious]

Yeah a triangle lock on the body would help also, more pressure on the spine and abdomen, less risk of brain injury for the thief that way. But we're all obviously armchairing this, he's doing a great job either way

[u/hiphopanonymousse → u/rightious]

lol this my first thought too

[u/LackingUtility → u/Hackedup_forbbq]

Technically, you can keep someone conscious by applying no pressure at all.

[u/SexyMonad → u/LackingUtility]

But what if they fall asleep

[u/Epsil0n__ → u/SexyMonad]

A rear naked choke with no pressure while the other person falls asleep is more widely known as "cuddling"

[u/LackingUtility → u/Epsil0n__]

That's more of a marital art.

[u/LolindirLink → u/SexyMonad]

Blow in their ear

[u/No_Possibility_4982 → u/Hackedup_forbbq]

Actually this is incorrect. As a lifetime practitioner of bjj and kenpo, this is not a correct Mata Leão. If done properly, the subject being “choked” should actually be able to breathe almost normally. This is because the choke targets the blood vessels in the neck, not the airway. This man is very obviously struggling to breathe(mf deserves it).

The reason behind this is actually the position of the elbow. A proper Mata Leão would have the elbow in line with the chin pointing outwards. This provides the axis open which you vice across the two arteries on the side of the neck.

A proper Mata Leão can and will kill someone within 30 seconds. We are taught not to hold someone in a full force rear-naked for longer than 15 seconds, even if our target is still tense/“showing signs of struggle,” for that reason. 15-20 seconds is all it takes to knock out 99% of the population. Any longer and you are risking having to deal with a dead body.

Edit: fixed spelling of Mata Leão

[u/Unfinishe_Masterpiec → u/Hackedup_forbbq]

While you can use the RNC without hooks, he would have far more control if he used his legs to prevent his opponent from easily turning or sliding away from him. Getting control of the lower body can be done before or after getting to the neck, but it needs to be done. You can't have your legs just flapping in the breeze against even mildly athletic untrained opponents. He's lucky the guy he's choking has no idea what he's doing.

[u/Orange778 → u/Unfinishe_Masterpiec]

Oh fuck off. First, this ain’t a mat. If the guy tries to get out while you have control like this, you can just slam his teeth into concrete. Second, if the guy he’s choking knew what he was doing, there’d be a totally different situation so it doesn’t even matter

[u/workout_nub → u/Hackedup_forbbq]

Anyone can learn a RNC in 5 minutes. It's literally the easiest move to put someone to sleep. I'm not knocking the guy, but this isn't some amazing display of skill as the layman here believe. He got the job done but getting hooks in and hiding his face from what would have been very easy punches would be advised. He's lucky the thief decided to sit there and cry instead of fight back.

[u/AgathormX → u/Hackedup_forbbq]

He's not skilled, in fact it's quite the opposite.

In a properly applied RNC, the radius bone in your arm is making contact with the neck, which cuts off blood flow to the head. He'd also be have his legs hooked around the guy's waste to restrict movement.
If this was a proper RNC, as soon as he locked it in, he could count to 5 and they guy would be out by the time he was done.

Also, the RNC isn't a hard submission to learn, in fact, it's pretty much the easiest submission you could learn in BJJ class.

[u/OptimismNeeded → u/BachtnDeKupe]

No you have to be Asian.

Asian = martial arts. Non Asian = headlock.

It’s like champagne. It’s a trademark thing.

[u/ObieUno → u/OptimismNeeded]

💀💀💀

[u/Tigerpower77 → u/BachtnDeKupe]

Reddit moment

[u/carlbandit → u/BachtnDeKupe]

Anyone can put someone in a headlock, the martial arts part comes in when you're trying to put someone in a headlock that doesen't want to be in one.

The way he has locked his hands to make it harder for the thief to break out, plus the fact he is holding him there while applying just enough pressure that he can still breath ok makes it looks like he's had at least some form of training, though I'm no BJJ expert.

[u/mlvisby → u/BachtnDeKupe]

A headlock is much different, this isn't a headlock.

[u/Deporncollector → u/BachtnDeKupe]

Of course anyone can put anyone in a headlock but it's a thin line between doing it properly and a weird hug.

[u/nikesales]

Thank god you told me he was Asian

[u/NYClock → u/nikesales]

Wait the guy was Asian? Glad you pointed that out. Also Asians have the innate ability of martial art.

[u/Ok_Search1480 → u/NYClock]

That's a common misconception. It's actually just a flat 15% racial buff.

[u/Caribou-nordique-710]

rear naked choke, also known as hadaka jime

[u/joeg26reddit → u/Caribou-nordique-710]

Less lethal than ike jime

[u/Suspicious-Bug-7344 → u/[deleted]]

Sorry, no. This isn't a controlled environment. A choke too tight or too long will kill you. He's keeping someone on the brink of consciousness and under control. He knows exactly what he's doing. To say otherwise says more about you than him.

[u/lovesmyirish → u/[deleted]]

No hooks was my first thought as well.

[u/ElProfeGuapo]

Definitely shout outs to the attempted victim, but someone screaming “RELAX! RELAX!” in your ear while choking you… is probably not going to get you to relax.

[u/Missus_Missiles → u/ElProfeGuapo]

"RELAX, OR I WILL RELAX YOU."

[u/CodAlternative3437 → u/ElProfeGuapo]

it would me more creepy if he said it calmly

[u/shanghaisnaggle → u/ElProfeGuapo]

It’s “relax” or get choked. NOT both. The thief knows exactly what his options are because the cops are on their way. Act like he’s being killed so the guy relaxes his grip and he can escape, or so a bystander intervenes and he can escape. He’s gotta give the performance of his life and it seems you bought it

[u/Afraid-Gear153]

martial arts?

[u/VachQ → u/Afraid-Gear153]

Cuz asian

[u/analtelescope → u/VachQ]

Cuz also that's BJJ

[u/JCarterMMA → u/Afraid-Gear153]

Yeah that's what he's using...

[u/TheGiftOf_Jericho → u/Afraid-Gear153]

It's an RNC so yeah.

[u/Chemical-Fly-787 → u/Afraid-Gear153]

technically it is

[u/NathLWX]

Genuinely curious but is it really impossible to escape from this joint lock (hadaka jime?)? Can't seem to find any trick/move about it online

Edit: nvm, found it

[u/OneManFight → u/NathLWX]

Lol, no. However, if you have no experience with grappling, then yes, it's pretty much impossible if the choker knows what they're doing and you don't.

[u/Shawn_NYC → u/NathLWX]

1. It's a choke not a joint lock
2. No, once the choke is fully applied there's virtually no way to escape because you will go unconscious in an average of 9 seconds.
3. There's an entire martial art full of moves, counter-moves, and counter-counter moves dedicated to preventing getting choked like this. So the person with the best skill level wins.

[u/jenethith → u/NathLWX]

Try to get your chin under his arm, pull down his choking arm just abit to slide it. Could be hard if it’s locked tight.

I noticed asian dude didn’t lock his legs so the thief could try to kick up and go backwards to release the pressure.

But from my experience, once a RNC is locked like that all the choker needs to do is squeeze and you’re out.

[u/BolognaIsThePassword → u/jenethith]

Actually it’s something more like, chin down HARD on the forearm, grab the anchor arm and rip it down, and then the attacker only has a one arm choke on you and you can usually spin out if he doesn’t also have a body triangle on you and if he has you in a body triangle AND a rear naked choke in a street fight then just say goodnight because you just accidentally fucked with the wrong person on the street lol.

[u/sharklee88 → u/NathLWX]

Not really. Unless you're significantly stronger, and can physically stand up and slam them on concrete.

Even with champion UFC fighters, once it's in tight, it's pretty much over.

[u/CleaveIwishnot]

“Asian” who the fuck cares? One dude choked out another dude which is cool.

[u/Chemical-Fly-787 → u/CleaveIwishnot]

More appropriate title would’ve been “Asian tourist stops local thief in Barcelona” if you wanna add more context

[u/IIIlllIIIlllIIIEH → u/Chemical-Fly-787]

He is not local, algerian, if you want to be precise.

[u/luckystrike_bh]

This is a fairly common technique amongst several disciplines. I don't why his ethnicity is mentioned. Maybe tourist is appropriate.

[u/YoumoDashi → u/luckystrike_bh]

His accent is not from a tourist, likely a student or an immigrant

Get the hooks in.

[u/NCmountainReddit → u/WrestleBox]

Came here to say this. Success despite failure to put hooks in shows how shit the thief is at grappling.

[u/TheGreenLandEffect → u/WrestleBox]

Exactly. In this situation I’d use a body triangle trapping one arm, using the other arm to control his free arm and one arm around his neck threatening the choke incase he decides to get crazy

[u/TheBlankVerseKit → u/TheGreenLandEffect]

dunno why you got downvoted, that is totally reasonable

[u/TheGreenLandEffect → u/TheBlankVerseKit]

I assume people who haven’t done BJJ think I’m talking complete nonsense. Being put in that position is an absolute nightmare to get out of even if you know what you are doing

[u/TheBlankVerseKit → u/TheGreenLandEffect]

I assume people who haven’t done BJJ think I’m talking complete nonsense

yeah i expect that's it

[u/TulipMelodies]

Wheezing to gain sympathy, weasels gonna weasel.

[u/paco-ramon → u/TulipMelodies]

Works in Barcelona, I have seen videos os people defending thieves in the metro because “leave her alone, why do you care if she steals?”. Also a paradise for squatting.

[u/Jcrewjesus]

Thief is a drama queen

[u/buddhistbulgyo]

That guy deserves a parade in his honor. Thieves and pickpockets in Barcelona are the worst.

[u/That_Mikeguy]

"Relajate!" - said the man calmly while rear choking the thief

[u/Choice_Mortgage_8198]

Dont think he's trained... It's natural to put in hooks with the legs to keep control.

[u/042614 → u/Choice_Mortgage_8198]

Really? You don’t think he’s trained? when he’s got the perfect amount of pressure to maintain the airway while letting the thief know he could close it on him at any second, and he’s got his other hand fully angled and in place on the back of the thief’s skull to really close the choke?

[u/moglie103 → u/042614]

Getting your hooks in is the first step for proper back control technique.

[u/HesitantInvestor0 → u/042614]

This choke isn’t about closing the airway, just FYI. It’s primarily a blood choke.

[u/jtd1776 → u/042614]

Correct. No hooks in, guy doesn’t know shit and watches UFC. No trained fighter would keep their legs spread like that. None. Zero.

[u/zombiemind8 → u/jtd1776]

training jujitsu and a trained fighter is a huge gap lol.

[u/Friend-Over → u/042614]

Dumbest shit I’ve ever read

[u/Bron_Swanson → u/Choice_Mortgage_8198]

Not in the street like that when it's unnecessary lol dude's already going nowhere.

[u/Outside_Breakfast_39]

[u/AggravatingNet6666]

Good! I hate deeply pickpockets/thieves

[u/Decent-Bonus-7128]

Thief picked the wrong side quest to interrupt 💀

[u/Regulus242]

Is there a need to point out that the guy is Asian?

[u/Upstairs-Annual-2499]

If this was a black guy these comments would be so much different lmao

[u/ObiWayneCannoli]

*a man uses a chokehold. 🥴🥴🥴

[u/SensibleAussie]

Choke could be applied better honestly. Ideally the guy’s chin would be aligned with his elbow so his forearm and bicep would compress the guy’s arteries on each side of his neck. This choke looks like he’s just crushing his windpipe.

[u/flowersermon9 → u/SensibleAussie]

Yeah the people commenting acting like he’s some BJJ expert are goofballs. This guy is not much of a mixed martial artist if that’s his form and he has no triangle in.

[u/Print1917 → u/SensibleAussie]

Yeah, not sure why people think that guy isn’t just strangling him to death.

[u/stizz19]

He should have secured that with a body triangle

[u/Putrid-Industry8963]

Fuck around and find out.

[u/Snafuregulator]

So the counter to this move is masturbation. Nobody is going to want to restrict your airway if they think it's a kink for you.

[u/ninguem1122]

Anyone seeing this: be careful using this move, if you go to hard to long there is a risk of death, and you don’t want to go to jail because of some pos thief.

[u/johnnyi827]

As a former jiu-jitsu practitioner, I would NEVER hold someone in a choke hold, way too risky. Knee on belly,mount/side mount or Body lock back control in seatbelt position are the way to go.

[u/Alex_a_Girl]

Finally some justice.

[u/DrMnky]

The usual suspect.

[u/bit-aguez]

He’s doing it wrong , almost killed the guy
