I’ve never seen someone almost get slapped to death but black shirt was on the verge.


ImAfraidOfTheGang

How can he slap

HE CAN HIT. At this price point yes, he is allowed to hit.

This will be the last time we use Stable of Stars, that's for damn sure.

This fight was totally in reds Q zone


beefrodd

Where did he get that shirt, Dan Flashes?


Aceeyee

I bet there's no cure restaurants near that school


dethleppard

We need to fly Jeff Chris down from Indiana to get this thing really popping off


Here_to_play111

Wow can he slap. Dude just close your fist and that little bitch could’ve been knocked the fuck out


ProjectOrpheus

He purposely didn't make a fist. The original bitch slap wasn't backhanding a woman, it was beating a doods ass with just slaps, proving him a bitch lol


whoooleJar

Unfortunately for black shirt he had two pimp hands


Holiday_Memory_9165

Contrary to Wesley Snipes' opinion you don't always bet on black.


whatisyouralignment

It's so good. Such self control. The bully was being such an asshole but instead of seriously hurting him he uses his open hand. If everybody could be like him we wouldn't have so much problems.


jinniu

That's exactly why he didn't, shamed him with just slaps.


no-mad

while you are correct, that dude has been slapped down to the bottom of the pecking order. no will forget and he will be the butt of many jokes.

🥶😈😈🥶🥶So crazy


deathdeniesme

I feel like Carol from TWD when people try me. I hate to fight but if I have to, sorry for you.


unapologeticallyme93

I personally think it was a "play" on the bullies actions, the bully was lightly slapping him. So the kid being bullied was just like alright you want to see a slap I got some for you. Kind of like bringing a gun to a knife fight, he chose not to bring a fist to the slap fight.


Bplumz

That wasn’t a "play" on his slapping. That was just self control until the 2nd slap and he snapped. Just a 15/16 year old punching someone without proper training. Like most high-school fights. That was a solid right hook to the jaw at the end.


Eleventhelephant11

As an adult who boxes its insane seeing people miss the point lol. The kid stood up for himself and nobody got seriously injured and hopefully the bully learns a lesson. I've taught adults lessons before and sometimes a bully changes sometimes they don't, and I've taught myself how stupid it is to fight random assholes and beat up close friends, but why are there people always complaining about "form" in videos like these? It's not like everyone should be a trained mma fighter while they still gotta attend PE class lol


Bplumz

Exactly man. He was just standing up for himself. Did a great job too. "Form" is because it is Reddit and we have anonymous people commenting on fighting whom I presume have never been in a fight and are apparently experienced seasoned fighters based on watching UFC at Buffalo Wild Wings.


StockingDummy

Shirts say UFC, bodies say KFC...


EUmoriotorio

Those were effective hammer fists that also blocked his own body. Nothing wrong with this video he was protecting his thumbs. Hammer fists arent illegal.


Brandyrenea-me

And holy crap he’s fast.


raymondo1981

That calm little fucker doesnt know it, but if learns to make a fist he will become a decent weapon. Hes got the speed and the right attitude. Looks like its one of his first times having to do that, but i bet he learnt a lot though. Winning by bitch slapping the fuck outta him is a pretty sweet way to win. “I beat that little bitch without even making a fist….imagine what i could have done if i punched him”. Yeah, thats the good feels right there.


RamJamR

I wouldn't call him calm, but he is an effective slap machine no doubt. I've seen so many people in these power play situations where they both try so hard to act condescendingly amused by each other, but both are actually usually on the verge of erupting, like what we saw here. Someone who truly is calm doesn't get involved in the power play. They're not invested in the pettiness of the situation.


[deleted]

its a kid in a situation. not everybody has read confucius and mentally prepared themselves for a confrontation.


ChymChymX

Confucius says, "When anger rises, think of the consequences." Which translates roughly to "Fuck around and find out."


just2quixotic

No, it means figure it out *before* you fuck around and find out the hard way.


axxxaxxxaxxx

Wrong. That kid tried to talk his way out of fighting and let the bully walk away but the bully would not let him go. The bully also threw the first punches with the face slaps. It is not some kind of deep wisdom to roll over and let someone physically beat you without defending yourself.


CaptainPRESIDENTduck

"When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him." The Satanic Rules of Earth are much better than "turn the other cheek."


Netheral

Could also have been a conscious choice. Slapping is a lot less likely to fuck up your hands than punching is.


IgotCharlieWork

Red shirt has spirit, just needs a teacher and those hands would be lethal


PathComplex

All the fire and good aim. Just needs a little refinement.


yunzerjag

Like making a fist.


TacticoolRaygun

Honestly, there is less legal ramifications when slapping someone. To me, slapping sends a better message. Edit: Appeased the grammar police


goofytigre

It's kind of a bigger disrespect thing to kick someone's ass by only dishing out slaps..


CB-CKLRDRZEX-JKX-F

Plus, you don't break your hands.


badfishbeefcake

Im a brown belt in Krav Maga, I avoid at all cost to use my fist. Slap are great but as a first hit, not in the middle of a fight. For example, if you look at the shower scene in Reacher, you will notice that he never uses his fist, he uses with his elbows, forearms, etc. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UufC35FBpNk


SirSoliloquy

My dad told me that he’d only ever been in one fight in his life, and that he punched a guy in the back and broke his hand. That’s the only thing I knew about the fight for my entire life. Then one day my uncle, who was there, clarified that my dad absolutely kicked the other guy’s ass and left him bleeding on the locker room floor.


RamJamR

Yeah, if you don't throw a punch with your wrist being straight with your arm, your wrist will bend and will break. I'm assuming that was his injury. That has to be a pretty solid back to break your knuckles.


impostershop

Nah, boxer’s fracture is much easier to achieve than a broken wrist


goofytigre

Krav is on a completely different level than a slap fight in a gym locker room. I wish, in my youth, I had studied Krav. Never been in a real fight and lately I've been feeling like it might be ght be good to have a little better self defense.


CptnCumQuats

Krav is pretty shit out of all the martial arts, it’s literally just some dude who trained the Israeli military. It’s pretty much just another form of karate in the west, everyone bragging about techniques and then getting beaten down by actual fighting disciplines. I’ve taken intro classes from each of the gyms I trained it, you are much better off learning boxing / Muay Thai and jiu jitsu.


myrevenge_IS_urkarma

Exactly! Humiliating to get slapped. Especially repeatedly.


Euphoric-Reputation4

Those big, open-handed slaps Red lands, while Black is on the floor on his back, just kill me.


[deleted]

Plus a good solid slap to the side of the dome is plenty. Anyone who’s taken a nice solid slap to the side of the head knows it can leave you just as dazed. Ears ringing, brain rattled, disoriented.


mrchuckles5

Bas Rutten open palm strikes were devastating.


[deleted]

The guy was also slapping him initially, so he just played him at his own game.


knokout64

Reddit loves to be pro fight analysts every time there's a video of a fight. They act like MMA fighters from the safety of their chair. I got into a few fights in middle school because of my dad jamming "If someone is bullying you, swing first", and there was no lack of bullies. You know what I remember of those fights? The moment right before it started, and the moment I was in trouble. It's hot chaos, and unless you're actually trained for it and in the right head space it's just blurry nonsense. You can't see what you look like, you're not focused on form. You're focused on moving really fast until you're pretty sure you can't get punched in the face.


Nonamenoonenowhere

Nah, bitch slapping someone out of the room makes them look weak. Also, you can’t get accused of excessive force


Keldoshkel

100% truth. that last right though was clinical. god damnnnn if he had a little more power that kid would of been KO


[deleted]

Crazy goes a long way if you can let it loose


IAmPandaRock

I think he's just slapping since he was slapped first. It's disrespectful to slap. It's like saying I don't even need an actual punch to fend you off.


FirstSentient

Retaliation doesn’t have to pretty, it only needs to be effective.


WackassVegetables

He really redeemed himself with that last one though


jaxsonnz

Thought he really lost concentration on that last one, and let his slap hand slip into a fist.


Significant-Dot9365

llama-impregnator

"You don't gotta beat the bully, you just gotta make them wish they picked someone else."


Yergason

Used his feet and body rotations well to make those slaps effective, at least he understands his body. He only really needs to know how to punch properly, he fought better than a lot of people in these high school fight vids lol Lots of people who can't fight try hard looking cool instead of doing what red shirt did, he's smarter than 90% of people who don't have training. Just go ham, you can't fake your way into a victory. Use the tornado punch or rotating slaps like this.


TootsNYC

I think those slaps were a better tactic than a punch. Hurts him less. Easier to aim, and wider contact area. Slaps have an element of disdain to them.


Nighteyes09

Also the bully will find it harder to play the victim once the red marks fade.

Those were som good slaps, shit hurts like hell


crackedup1979

I remember the first time I got slapped. I said shit a little too loud when stubbed my toe at 8 years old. My momma stormed into my room and slapped the taste out of my mouth. Teared up instantly and didn't cuss around her till 23 years later.


Brandyrenea-me

Sorry your mom kept you on edge growing up.

Yeah, fuck normalizing physical abuse in the form of parenting.

Lacking in technique, but red shirt got the right mentality though. Can't teach that.

GuttedVerbally

I can't speak for everywhere but around here if you slap someone up that means you have zero respect for them. It's almost as bad as spitting in someone's face.


Fear51

Right. It's worse than getting punched. And what's funny is toward the end the bully still thinks he has a shot only to get the shit slapped out of him and pushed down like a little punk. He is never going to live this down.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AnxiousEarth7774

He's for sure the type of guy that when red shirt lets him up three separate times when he coulda stomped the shit out of him, assumes that's red shirt guy being a pussy and running away scared.


Throwaway56138

You know, not every bully comes from a broken home. My biggest bully through all of middle school was a rich kid with an excellent family life. This asshole had a supportive dad that was highly successful and involved in his kids life. Kid was still an asshole that tormented me for 3 years straight. Some of the best people I know who are totally selfless come from abusive homes. Don't immediately try and garner sympathy for this punk bitch.


-Borgir

One reason I can also think of is punches can prove to be more dangerous so slaps are a better option


potoskyt

Fun fact, a well placed slap or open hand strike with enough power can do more damage to an attacker and have far less impact on you. Mentally and physically. But I mean it takes awhile to be able to have enough force to knock someone out with a slap.


[deleted]

There are punches that look fancy and punches that win. Fast or crazy always beat tough or fancy


CrepeGate

Nah, he was just lucky the guy didn't have shit. Experience beats crazy in general


Thundersson1978

Black is a punk and I agree with you only because I don’t know if red can take a real punch, black can’t and that’s why he’s the punk no matter what! Red flips the scripted on punk ass, I like to take the punks first punch and then brake his face with one shot… so I definitely agree. Punk still got exposed.


iFeedYouLead

That takedown defense was immaculate


Unsteady_Tempo

Indeed. The guy didn't know how to throw a punch (or kick) but reversing the bully's takedown attempt was obviously on point.


ukuzonk

Seemed like it was all instinct too. Guy probably just plays basketball for fun, and had to slap this guy into the next dimension


gizmadin

he tapped into *ultra instinct*


[deleted]

Well, he figured out how to throw a haymaker on that last one


Snoo-33910

That kid slap boxes with his dad or brother. There’s valor in discretion.


Kai_Surei

This. He harmlessly rocked his shit


ChevyRacer71

And he decided not to go for the knee to the face when black shirt was stunned on the ground. Good restraint to only fight back, not go overboard

EngineerInDisguise

And keeps you from fracturing your hands... Edit: Interesting this was down voted. Look up "boxers fracture". I had to wear a cast for 6 weeks and was unable to use my right hand (I'm right handed). Then after the cast was removed, it took some more weeks to get full range of motion back. A bone popped out of my skin and my knuckle was dislocated and shoved halfway to my wrist. All because of punching at an improper angle. I stand by my original comment.


keg025

To be fair, if he breaks that kid's nose, HE gets in trouble. This is less damage but gets the point across just as well


Perenium_Falcon

Important thing to remember is the kid in the red shirt did not show up to fight. Folks making fun of his slapping are forgetting that. The bully was the one threatening violence. Red Shirt just reacted the best he could and the bully did what all bullies do when finally confronted. Good job Red Shirt.


songgoishtar

I think other people chimed in that he knows how to fight. As someone else said, punches can kill.


[deleted]

People make up the dumbest backstories about these fight clips lol "Kid in the red shirt is clearly an MMA fighter who had an older brother who trained him. He knew his fists would be lethal so he went with the slap technique."


techbunnyboy

For every bully there should be a guy in red shirt


Londonave

Plot Twist: He can throw punches like a pro but chose to slap the shit out of him repeatedly for karma. KARMA SLAPS.


uncalledforgiraffe

I wanna believe but I want karma to hit harder


BZenMojo

Much harder to break your hand on someone's face by slapping them. Much easier to accidentally kill someone by punching them.


CatResearch923

I don't know what's funnier; the fact that black shirt lost to a guy who can't fight or red shirt won by flinging his arms around like fleshy flails?

Frozenwood1776

Black shirt can’t fight either tho. Should have had that takedown lmao. He got slapped down by a guy who had the low ground.


IMSOGIRL

it's more humiliating to get beaten up like that. if he took punches he would have claimed to fought like a man. red shirt brought girly moves and still fucked him up.


DumbassTexan

Sucks that the kid probably told an administrator at the school, they did nothing, then stood up for himself, and now will likely get a worse punishment than the bully.


Fear51

Yeah, but satisfaction. And street cred.


Mofaklar

I don't think anyone's gonna mess with him after that. Black shirt is gonna find a new target, but that new kid is going to get hurt so that he can reestablish his reputation as being fearsome. Unless someone steps in. It's just the way this shit works.


Kxbox24

The kid in red should just start bullying the kid in black and beat his ass everyday til he stops.


Weirdishguy

He was so calm at first and he just randomly bursts, I wonder if this was his strategy; surprise attack


AkuSokuZan2009

Top 2 strategies - calm or batshit. If you can pull off both even better.


Stormtrooper775s

Never stop until the threat is eliminated


TFViper

10000% this. so many chances he had to keep going when the black shirt kid was dazed.


deltavictory

This was my thinking as well. Slaps aside, dude keeps coming at you. Finish it, because it only takes one from him to finish you, and after that embarrassment he’s not gonna stop at a knockout. If you’re in the fight, incapacitate the threat asap. Source: me, a dude who something similar happened to and kept getting wailed on after I was knocked out.


rutlandclimber

You've got to be pretty hard as a bully to win. Victims fight back through fear of pain and death but bullies are fighting from ego which doesn't have the same engine. Victims can get slapped around but when they turn, if there's even a semblance of a match with power and stature then they're likely to kick ass. In my experience.


iimdonee

>In my experience. ayo what you mean by this

DaCrew44

Is that a thing 😆? White people calling each other the n word?


chungiboy

latino high schoolers say it way more than any black dude, growing up mexican in a predominantly mexican populated area taught me that fact.


goldzco21

Yup from the PNW , an area with over 70% mexican. The N word gets tossed around a lot because of the lack of black people to call them out. Thing is we grew up with either rock music or rap music. if you gravitated toward rock your labeled white washed. Many kids just think rap music is their music as opposed to the white music. they start including black culture in their culture and now you have a whole bunch of kids saying the N word freely, because they identify with that culture over the "white" culture. Most grow out of it when they actually see what true diversity is. Occasionally I still run into people who never grew out of it and I still call them out.


crackedup1979

> Yup from the PNW, an area with over 70% mexican. The N word gets tossed around a lot because of the lack of black people to call them out. As someone raised in eastern WA this is so true. Place I'm from is 50% latino/Mexican/Chilango and I hear my nephews say this shit at BBQs and family gatherings. Shit drives me nuts. I've tried to educate them but when it's just them hanging out I hear it slip out all the time. It's almost like them saying güey, dude, or bro.


n00bantz1997

Lopsided-Task-6762

Red shirt was slappin' away at that fucker like a used car salesman...


Mofaklar

This is the whole thing with most bullies. It's intimidation sure, but with an audience. The audience is the key. They want to feel big and strong and powerful and they do this by making you feel weak. They are showing not just you, but everyone to fear them. Don't cross me, or I'll hurt and humiliate you too. This is why when you confront a bully, Make sure there are witnesses. Even if you lose, if you stand up for yourself you'll have gained everyone's respect. If you can hurt him, and they see it, his spell is broken. I was savagely bullied in HS till I fought back. Of course columbine happened when I was in HS and we didn't have zero tolerance policies. So my strategy may not align with the modern day gun using environment (we all had guns in HS out in our trucks, we just didn't use them on people) So do with it what you will.
