Some Great Streetfight Footage

All Ya'll,

So far, this "Fighting & (not necessarily) Drinking" section of the Insurgence Records message board has been pretty under-utilized. I would love for their to be more discussion of various fight sports (NHB, BJJ, boxing, muay thai, submission wrestling, etc.) since a lot of folks in our movements train and even more are casual fans.

In the meantime, here are links to footage of two of the FUNNIEST street fights I've ever seen (and if you think fights aren't ever funny, you're wrong):

This is video of Glenn Danzig getting knocked out by the singer of the North Side Kings. Apparently, Danzig bumped their band and then decided to step to the NSK's singer. Ha ha!

This is footage of pro-skateboarder Mike Vallely mixing it up with 4 jocks who called him "skater fag". He wrecks shop! It's been years since I've skated, but I just might dig my Mike Vallely deck out of storage! He's my hero!

Thanks to ifilm.com. There's so much awesome free footage on their site. Be prepared to waste a lot of time!

Here's a link to a video of a bonehead getting his ass handed to him (by a "gangster" apparently).

I'm curious to find out the story on this one. The fight is definitely real, but seems to have been prearranged (i.e. there's a crude 'ring'/fighting area). There's a nazi flag in the background, so it's safe to say the skinhead here is a bonehead, but I'm wondering who the other guy is and how/why the fight was set up. He looks like he could be hispanic, so I'm hoping that this went down for all the right reasons....

The first rule everyone should know about street-fighting: don't RUN IN with your hands down! I really can't stress this enough. In 95% of the fights I've seen where there's been a quick knockout it's because assholes charge in standing straight-up and get nailed. There's a reason the jab is the first punch you learn in boxing! And keep your hands up and your elbows in tight!

That site is pretty sick. Hours of footage. I was also pretty happy to see some of my sparring partner's fights on there, and some folks I've rolled against. Most of the Ultimate Fighting stuff seems to be Northeastern US.
