Okay, so Jason and I found some videos on line you will like!
This first one is your classic social beat down as described by Rory Miller. Great sucker-punch followed up by a beat down. Of course, no social beat down is complete without some posturing!

Next we go to "Homeless Pugilist"!
This video is pretty interesting for a number of reasons. Let me explain: A homeless guy who is clearly from the old school is out foxing this punk from the get go. His strategy is A+, but his technique is D+. He throws sloppy punches, and he looks to be drunk (or something else going on). If you were to take a guess, you would think this is Chris from the future fighting some punk while on heroin.
What blows me away is the number 1 comment. The commentator mentions something that basically says "Homeless dude clearly learned how to fight from pay per view UFC fights". If anyone sees stuff like this in the UFC, please email me. I would die to see it!

The third and final video is something to behold. It's a very classic type of fight. Shit talking, multiple people in different skirmishes, bystanders, ego, and the like. Now I want you to imagine this same fight happening in ancient Greece. My guess is that if you wanted to, oh I don't know, draw it on a vase, it would look like EVERY vase from the Greco/Roman period. Watch the ragging, the "Spear" overhead position for the fist strikes, the face first shove into the ground when a flank is controlled, a boot to the face, etc. The guy in the orange shorts learns a important lesson in this fight and makes a very good adjustment towards the end: take your shirt off. It's a weapon. This fight also falls under the "Social Beat Down" category. 3 punks cross a street and another punk and his female cohort find their pedestrian etiquette to be unacceptable. The Bonnie and Clyde duo decide to put the 3 Amigos in their place... oops... It doesn't appear to be a robbery, or any other sort of predatory attack. Very typical type of puke on puke kind of fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqMCfS8w9Do
See you at class!
