In a viral video, a young ATOS BJJ black belt was involved in a street altercation when a drunk guy approached him, instigating a fight.
The black belt defended by taking Mount, setting up an Armbar – and breaking the drunk man’s arm.
All the while throwing elbows to his head.
Some have said that he’s overdone it and that he should’ve just controlled the man…
But Gordon Ryan doesn’t believe so.
Here’s what he had said about the incident, according to BJJDoc:
A guy walked up to a guy minding his own business and tried to beat him up, and he got his arm broken.
If he would have gotten killed, that would have been too much.That was not too much.
Ryan believes that the measures like that are the only way to lower the amount of similar incidents on the street:
If people like that attack you, and you are capable of defending yourself and teaching them consequences, and you don’t do it, it’s a very selfish thing.
He should have been beaten so badly that he knows that, if at any point ever in his life again he tries to attack a random person who did nothing to him, that he should have PTSD.
That’s the only way that’s going to fix this problem of random people attacking innocent pedestrians and citizens.
The only way this is going to stop is if they’re brutally beaten to the point where they’re almost dead.
