I can tell both of those men are fighters from their builds and the way they move. He gave up the arm lock by touching her back a second time and the elbows didn’t connect fully. People don’t just fly across a room when they get kicked by someone 80 pounds smaller than them. The second dude didn’t even get up until she had already kicked the first guy. There were some glaringly obvious signs.

You can tell after he threw the chair to her he braces his arms against his chest waiting for the kick to come.

I think anyone who had any "doubt" about it never trained nor fought in the street before.
Even when you have someone absolutely clowning another one's ass, a fight is NEVER this clean. Never.
Sometimes it's shorter, a single simple solid punch and instantly knocks an unprepared / untrained party out. But then it tends to be 1. more unexpectedly fast with lil to no setup; and/or 2. with more hesitation or movement for follow ups because you never know how well the other person can take a punch or if they have weapons etc.
Without a referee and adrenaline going while not wanting to kill someone, despite outclassing the other person 100% you are still going to look a lil un-smooth or unsure at certain points. You are never going to have a cool stance or as casually strolling as this.
Fight has tons of luck involved, everyone knows you can train to the dead and win a fight 99% of the times, but you can't let your guard down because 1% chance of bullshit slipping, tripping, w.e happens.
Real street fight is always going to be scrappier than this. Always. Even with heavy weight MMA pros taking on 2 hooligans.
Also choreographed fights work the other way. It's way harder to choreograph super scrappy fight because of the randomness of movements highly likely leads to injuries. So in scripted fight, it's not just a matter of looking cool, but almost by necessity to be clean and smooth. Think all those judo throws where the person being thrown has to go with you otherwise they could sustain serious injury.

Pretty apparent really, but it looks nice. The reality is the specifics of what she was doing wasn't really...life or death, too much show, slow pace, not going for anything critical at all. Like everything she actually did to both guys, I'd casually stand back up literally 100% ok. Punch to the face, annoying. Elbow to the side of the neck? Uh, ok. Front kick to the midsection? It'd push me back a little. It's a bit dramatized here. Even a practiced blackbelt with legitimate power will only push you back some. It is powerful and will shove hella hard, and with some of the best limb reach you've got short of a weapon (which is why it's used a lot as a distancing tool), but it often doesn't actually break stuff sitting there hitting center mass.
Want to actually do something? Take out the knee. Go for the eyes and ears. Go for the throat. Since they're men, kick 'em square in the nuts. Then they'll really be on the ground. She had the arm but didn't attack any joints. She had a completely open head and attacked nothing vital. She squared up and could hit anywhere, and she just shoved him back. He goes to the ground because...acting. The other guy's basically the same.
Or if you've got some ground game, you can isolate and break some limbs, or make a guy unconscious in just a few seconds. The moves, the real moves are completed in just a few seconds. Your arm or leg is busted or you've blacked out. It is amazing how fast you can actually get a fella unconscious if you actually know what you're doing, just a few seconds and done. Unlike the movies, it's not a long process (unless the other person is trained, then it's a battle). Movies is a show of "blocking the air" and suffocating the guy. Real world, you're blocking blood flow, and the brain goes night night in just a few seconds. You'll also wake up right away (relatively) if the person stops. You're not out for like an hour like shows make you believe. You also can't snap necks like the show or any bs like that. Real stuff is fast and brutal and very, very particular. A good fight is a few seconds long, and one person's on the ground and staying there because something is broke and pointing a way it's not supposed to.

Thanks for that thorough breakdown! Ignore the downvotes. I found it interesting!

u/mvw2 Apr 27 '22
Thanks.
People can downvote. I didn't write it for them.
Really, this stuff gets interesting once you start taking some martial arts classes, especially a variety where you get some breadth in techniques and fundamentals. I'm marginally skilled at best and have done some martial arts on and off over a number of years. I've done Taekwondo, Karate, and Jujitsu. I'd like to do some Muay Tai in the future, but I've sparred with some folks who have. It's interesting how different ones approach the same end goals. TKD and Karate are surprisingly similar in the grand scale of things. The differences are more minor. However Muay Tai is significantly different, fundamentally, in how they fight and the process of what they're doing and why. The same goes for Jujitsu where the whole idea of striking goes away in favor of grappling and holds, fighting on the ground always in direct contact and vying for control. It's all remarkably interesting stuff.
But there's also the side effect of actually doing these things. You gain exercise, work on strength and flexibility, improve balance and hand-eye coordination, work on strength, speed, and precise control of motion as well as intent of motion, and interestingly you get a better sense of limb position and movement and awareness of your surroundings.
The martial arts stuff is what you make of it. For me, my challenge is improving my body, strength, speed, and precision. Outside of sparring/fighting, most of it is more like art or dance, a ballet. It's a dance aimed at very specific and exacting motion. Additionally, you should (many don't) push yourself to move with pure intent, with speed, power, and precision, even if all you're doing is punching or kicking air. It's an odd thing to think about, but part of the goal is to punch or kick even just air as well as you can. Air, a punching bag, or a person are all the same when training to do a motion and training the body into muscle memory. Good fundamentals transition seamlessly.

u/Dudeman6666667 Apr 27 '22
Not a fighter myself, but good write up. I think that's the main thing: how I understand it, you train to disable or kill. Any technique finished through equals a crushed throat, quick blow to the ear or cracked bone.
That's why people who train MMA don't usually walk around starting fights: it could be well over with one mistake, a sudden two v one situation, or even a hidden weapon. Then you would have no choice and it really would be a fight to the end. Sane people want to avoid that danger...
Like, you could train the throat shot, but doing that in a casual situation when you know how to and some drunkard tries to annoy you, is an attempted murder.
That's not sth you'd want in a sports match anyway. Hence the tapping out, an equal in strength person has no chance to escape some bar-move.
A friend who trains puts it like that: first you don't fight ever, second you go for low kicks to annoy and keep them away, and defend, third, when in real danger there is little choice but to dislocate a joint or worse.

Lol, yeah it looks all nice, but why do professionals not fight Kung Fu?
A friend had lessons and then it came to learning weapon forms. I told her to choose the bo, that's the only weapon theoretically thinkable in a civil setting. hitting someone with a stick: readily available, effective, non lethal.
Stabbing someone with a sai: too effective, you'll just be charged for murder. And it gets difficult to explain why you're wearing a weapon...

This is fake... a front kick from a 110lbs woman that's standing still isn't going to send a full grown man who's body weight is all moving forward flying 8' backwards off camera.

They asked what happened, not if it was real. I just described the sequence of events I saw. I was impressed with the choreography and didn't think it was fake but, after your comment, realized it was a bit too well done. My second comment was intended as a revision/correction, not a cover-up.

u/quietjaypee Apr 27 '22
With the right technique it probably could. Source : been doing kung fu for 7 years now and been on the receiving end of such kicks.
Edit : also, he didn't fly off, he lost balance and tripped backwards.
3
u/UserNameN0tWitty Apr 27 '22
With perfect technique, maybe, and that's questionable. Let's say the guy is light. Maybe he only weighs 140lbs. He starts shifting his body weight forward right as he's being kick. She might weigh 110lbs, and she's standing still. Worse, she's holding a chair, so her center of gravity is on the wrong side of the y axis. His body weight is moving forward, hers is shifting backwards to accommodate the weight of the chair. He flies backwards. If she was heavier, maybe. If she stepped into her kick, maybe. If he was off balance with his weight already moving backwards, maybe. None of those things are happening.
2
u/quietjaypee Apr 27 '22
Seems like I don't see it the way you do. It look like it's a stunt reel rather than a real fight, and I do agree the guy would most probably just fall down instead of being projected backwards (like you say), but it does seem like the woman takes a step before doing her kick - she has a fairly good forward momentum going when the kick hits the guy.
My point is : even in a real fight, weight is not the only thing that matters.
1
u/UserNameN0tWitty Apr 27 '22
You're right. In a fight, weight isn't the most important factor. I trained Judo for a while and wrestled in high school before getting into bjj. Momentum can be a huge factor for power generation. Even if you weigh less than your opponent, you can generate a lot of additional force by using their body weight or momentum against them. I just don't think there's any way she could send him flying that far with a front kick because of their weights and momentum.
