A scuffle breaks out in the streets of NYC in front of the Letterman studio. Nice takedown by the taxi driver! Somebody’s been watching a little youeffesee.

Just because their wearing women’s clothing doesn’t mean they can’t kick your ass. That’s the moral of the story for UK’s Dean Gardener and Jason Fender after they attacked two transvestites one night only to find out their targets were trained mixed martial artists. CCTV footage captures the incident. The fun starts at about 0:50.

Here’s some security camera footage of Stephen, a Korean American attorney, using MMA/BJJ to subdue a drunk attacker in the lobby of his building on Wall Street.

From angryasianman.com

am a Korean-American attorney who lives on Wall Street in the Financial District of NY. I was out getting some icecream late at night at the corner store when I was approached by a big drunk guy who asked me if I was Korean. He went on to tell me that his wife is Korean so he “knows all about Koreans”. I tried to humor him and nod but he started getting offensive saying that Koreans get pushed around all the time but never fight back. Then he started telling me all Korean parents are insane.

At that point, I told him I didn’t want to continue talking to him and left the store. He followed me out onto a dark street off of Wall Street and started getting in my face. I told him to take a step back and he socked me in the face. I used to box in college so I responded with a pretty brutal set of punches that put him on the ground and told him the fight was over.

As I walked away, he got up and followed me into my apartment building at 63 Wall Street. I tried to get the doorman to call the police but he refused because apparently the guy lives in the building. The drunk guy then came at me again and hit me in the mouth, breaking one of my front teeth off, and called me a chink. We ended up fighting on the ground where I subdued him using Brazilian Jiujutsu and MMA. I held him in a chokehold and told him I’d kill him before the police arrive if he didn’t stop struggling and clawing at my eyes.

Pulling guard in a street fight is risky in most street fight situations, but proved effective for Stephen against a drunk, unarmed assailant. Additionally, this altercation ended with Stephen suing the building as well as the attacker. The security guard refused to call the cops initially, which resulted in the scene in that video. He won settlements from both.

Had Stephen gone for a takedown and proceeded with a ground and pound assault, I can see this going the other way in the courthouse. Either Stephen is really smart, or just really lucky.

Drew Heredia of Bakersfield, CA is nine years old. Upon seeing a 12-year-old girl and her dog being attacked by a pit bull, he promptly jumped on the dog’s back and slapped on a rear naked choke, stopping the attack a la Ralph Gracie. Apparently the boy was able to restrain the dog until animal control arrived.

Heredia had been training BJJ for just a few months at Bakersfield Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It was a brave thing to do even for a grown man, so for a 9-year-old to decide to take on a 50-60 lb dog is just amazing. Also, it just goes to show how even at 9 years old boys will do just about anything to gain the favor of a girl. :)

The dog is in custody, and will be put down in 10 days. As a new dog owner (a pit bull mix), I find this to be the real tragedy in this story. I feel badly for the girl and her dog, but in most dog aggression cases, it’s really the owner who should be responsible for this. The fact that the dog was a pit bull should have very little to do with what the dog did. It’s sensationalistic journalism at its finest.
