Very cool. Looks like extreme martial arts - a mixture of eastern martial arts, gymnastics, and even a little capoeira in there, I think?

Excellent physical specimen -the aliens should take him and leave me alone.

Seriously though, that guy would get his butt handed to him in a bar fight.

WOW! or MOMi

mbeach, so why do you think a guy in a bar fight has an advantage over this guy? In any athletic contest, I'd put my money on the BETTER athlete any day. That's not to say the better athlete will win everytime, but he will win more times than not.

Peace.

Not to take anything away from this guy, he's a tremendous athlete.

However this stuff looks amazing in movies, but in the real world of dark alleys and bad neighborhoods, it just plain doesn't work.
I've worked as a bouncer off and on for over 8 years (I finally quit the biz for good this week -I'm getting too old), and I've never seen any showboating high-kicker win a fight in close quarters.
The guys you have watch out for are wrestlers/grapplers and those willing to smash you in the face with a pint glass.

Agreed. You do need to watch out for the guys that take it to the ground (aka: wrestlers/grapplers)
Peace.
