Yob Smacked (woops, picked on wrong guy)
The Sun ^ | 10/7/09

Posted on 10/07/2009 10:20:50 AM PDT by llevrok

(video at link)

A YOB is a worldwide laughing stock after film of him being decked became an internet hit. He is seen hurling abuse at a man on his doorstep and trying to goad him into a fight - unaware his "victim" is a martial artist.

Amazingly, the man remains calm - until the yob kicks over a dustbin. He then floors the attacker with a lighting-fast jab, then stands over him in a fighting pose.

But the gob-smacked yob's had enough and flees in Merseyside. More than 30,000 people have viewed the mobile footage on website YouTube.

One fan wrote: "Absolute restraint and one swift blow = one sad little chav."

The Yob dropped too fast for the flurry of punches that would normally follow.

A broken nose from a well executed palm strike tends to make them drop quick.

Typical bully. Full of aggression and bluster until he gets smacked in the chops and then slithers off. The homeowner showed tremendous restraint, maybe too much. I wouldn’t have let him grab my hair like that without reacting.

Oh, and didn’t you guys notice the laughing when the man took a martial arts pose? Like they were mocking him. Doubt they’ll mock him again.

Except I think most of you are right. He’ll end up being harrassed endlessly by punks with boards or something.

It's actually called a 'palm heel strike', and yes, It can do A LOT of damage to the ol' 'honker'. Hehe.

He was in his home ... his ground started just inside that fence, the yob had invaded his ground and was fortunate to live to scurry back out again.

If you strike the nose with the base of your palm in an upward motion, like an uppercut, it tends to drive the nasal bone into the brain.

I’m sure the bobbies are on their way to arrest the homeowner for using excessive force.

Always did wonder at the popularity of the chest-shove. "Here. I want to start a physical confrontation by lowering my guard and sticking my face into punching range. Scared yet?"

Apparently not.

Next time he should apply the ‘Five Pointed Palm Exploding Heart Technique’.

(cf. Kill Bill, Vol. 2)

what that move he did

Looked like straight punch to the nose with karate like 'no follow-through'. We were always told to punch at an area approximately three to six inches beyond the actual target. Tends to go through the target with little or no loss of speed, but you stop without going beyond, then recover and be ready to punch again, if the target is still there. (usually not...)

1. Click

2. Bang

To me it appeared to be a throat strike. That would certainly account for “taking the fight out of him” so quickly.

Notice, folks, that the man had his hands crossed in front of him, open hand over a closed fist. That closed fist can come out LIGHTNING fast if you train in this move.

That video is a thing of beauty. The first time I saw it, I wanted to reach through the screen and deck that arrogant little punk, and I couldn’t figure out why that guy just stood there and took it.

So when he knocked that punk right down on his ass, I stood up and cheered. Way to go, fella!
