Angry Skinhead vs. Unbelievably Calm Goatee Man in Khaki Pants. Who wins?
Like Goatee Man, have patience. Video doesn’t really get good until about 2:16.

These videos are so satisfying it’s criminal.
I think that’s a Yamaha XJ series, called the Diversion over there and the Seca II here. Not a terribly exciting bike, but they say it’s practical and sensible. What I can’t figure out is whether that is definitely trash or recycling in the brown bin. Don’t you hate that some of our recycling bins are brown or black or gray, even though those colors ought to be only used for trash? And we have (some) trash bins that are green or blue?!? Think, people. Think.
i love when it looks like they are about to kiss
Nice arms. But I was hoping that the guy was going to pull a gun at 2:16 and shoot the asshole in the face.
I would really like to know what their argument was about.
Fokking brilliant, innit.
I bet that young fella wishes he hadn’t confronted his little brother’s youth pastor quite so directly.
It’s so interesting how this happens. I’ve seen fighters like this in the past, and they’re able to just — I don’t know — chop chop, and it’s all over in a half-second. I wonder how it works, exactly; what part of the neck/head can be jabbed in just such a way that you’re instantly on the ground?
That was shot in the UK, Dan. Nobody has guns in the UK, not even the cops.
@ 9, I was wondering the same thing. It would have been nice if they were in profile to the camcorder when goatee man nailed skinhead so we could see how it was done.
A southpaw will fuck you up every time if you’re not used to them.
EXACTLY. The left hook is rarely expected.
@9, 11 – it looked likke the heel of his palm to the point of skinhead’s chin. if you absolutely have to hit somebody in the jaw, that’s the way to do it without breaking a knuckle
Look at the guy’s stance. He has had some kind of training. Many martial arts teach you properly that all you need is one hit. A proper slug with the follow through was all that was needed here. Plus, the skinhead obviously was a pussy who thought he was tough.
@9- I don’t think there was anything very fancy about the strike to the face, the skin head just wasn’t balanced and was way out of his league when it come to actually fighting someone.
Palace guard’s a mean southpaw.
And the children watched …
There is also the fact that the skinhead doesn’t like fighting — if he wanted to fight he would have gone ahead and hit the guy at 0:01 instead of dancing around and posturing for what seems like forever. Hence when the actual fighting started, he left, presumably to go somewhere where you can dance and shout without worrying somebody will want to fight.
Okay, what martial arts style was he using? Because I’d be very interested in learning the one that includes The Destroying Bitch-Slap, which he’s clearly good at.
Looked like Win Chun to me, but it could have been almost any martial art, including Krav Maga or Xingyi. Great balance, hands in front, guard up, moving forward, striking when the opponent leads with his head.
His demeanor and decision making both indicate someone who’s spent a lot of time training and sparring.
Despite the belty overhang…
GOLD! That’s how you deal with bullies, stands up to them and punch them right on the nose till they retreat slithering like the snakes that they are.
So Loveschild,
Next time you start spouting your ignorant racist hatred we can just punch you once and you will slither away and hopefully never be seen again?
Can’t wait.
I don’t think thats a skinhead, BTW. He’s just got a shaved head…and that doesnt mean hes a skin.
If I didn’t know better I’d swear the Stranger office is full of a bunch of 5th graders
28 Funny Akbar, cause that’s precisely how i picture you, a wimpy, loudmouth, cowardly gay skinhead. If i ever come to slog happy i want to see your cold blooded scaly carcass there as well as the vicious pitbull or whatever breed you use to intimidate others. Will see then who ends up following their true nature by slithering away, you trash.
Gay skinhead…… isn’t that almost kinda like calling someone a jewish nazi or compassionate conservative?
Btw, feelin’ the love, loveschild. You turn that other cheek.
This is my FAVORITE episode of East Enders!
@31.
HA! like you would ever have the balls to come to a slog happy.
1. You probably don’t actually even exist as you claim you do. The good money on you being a troll and a figment of someones imagination is the best bet to take.
2. Even if you did exist, I can hardly ever imagine you leaving the safe confines and anonymity the internet provides you.
As for me? Wimpy? I’m no muscle bound adonis, but I can handle my own.
Loudmouth? I don’t think it’s fair to say that compared to the ignorant shit that spouts from your lips.
Cowardly? Again…not hardly. You name the time and place you would like to have a face to face debate. I will be there.
Skinhead? Don’t you need to be a white guy for that? Little hard being 1/4 Portuguese.
Me own a pitbull? While I find the over-reaction people have to the breed to be a bit ridiculous at times, I am not a dog person. Me, I love my Manx Cat.
Again I say… come to a slog happy. I would come knowing you would be there to see who is going to slither away. I guarantee we would see your fat ass shuffle its way out before I ever stand down to ignorant racists who hide behind christianity.
What 34 said. Picturing LC coming to slog happy is just the incentive I need to plan a trip to Seattle.
@Stranger Staff
How about it? Lets have an official “invite Loveschild” to slog happy event! It would probably be the best turn out ever.
Everyone would come.
Except Loveschild of course.
Clearly a scouser (Liverpudlian) – probably fighting over who will win this weekends Chelsea Liverpool game
34 Yeah portuguese are not white, not at all, portugal is not in western europe, nope. Portuguese were not the first, most involved and last europeans to stop trafficking with people of African descent. Let’s not even go into the Angola, Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, Mozambique and Cape Verde atrocities they inflicted in the Motherland. Be proud of your heritage Akbar, I’m sure you are.
As for your other pathetic accusation, I’ll take it for what it is, coming from someone who uses the name Akbar Fazil, while clearly having no relation whatsoever with the Muslim world. You clearly get a kick out of insulting them. I will come to Slog happy when i deemed it safe for my family and when i do, i want to see your trailer trash ass there Akbar. The best guarantee are facts, so when the time comes everyone will see how you eat your hereditary racist crap, “your fat ass” (no doubt instructed in your mind since childhood) and your sickly frame covered in your on pee. Actions speak louder than words, you racist trash.
19th century pugilism makes a comeback.
Brilliant!
Hey! Maybe we could even film a video like this of Akbar vs. Loveschild.
“You got knocked the fuck out!”
So…this bald guy prolly ain’t a skin.
@31, 32 34 – Skins can be black AND gay and still be a skinhead. It’s not a white guy thing, it’s a working class thing. I know black skinheads and I know GAY asian skins.
I’ve had unrequited crushes on straight guys before (big mistake; long story), so I can sort of sympathize, but shaved head boy really takes it to the next level. Girl, he’s just not that into you.
In America Skins are almost always racist, I knew some non-racist Skinheads back in high school (decades ago) but they are very much the exception.
The whole skinhead look was ripped off from Jamaican Rude Boys back in the early ’70s. Rude Boys were gangstas, working class white kids wanted to be gangsta… It’s an endless cycle.
Everyone was laughing when that dude put up his defensive stance like he was some chump playing karate. Then first blow he knocked that prick to the ground and the laughter changed to “oooohhh”. You could tell the bearded man was skilled in martial arts just by the way he was holding his own and waiting for that guy to make his first move. Awesome video.
Okay loveschild. You want to hold my heritage responsible for shit people did hundreds of years ago? Wow. But then I shouldn’t expect much else from you.
For the record “my people” are from the Azores. They came to California in the mid 1700’s and stayed.
And as for my “name” I think you should realize that there are probably lots of people named “Akbar” that aren’t muslim at all. This was just a silly nickname that stuck with me over the years.
and to add… how exactly do I enjoy insulting muslims?
@44 not exactly square on your history, it was late ’60s and they descended from Mods. Not wanna be “gangstas.” And I know tons of “american” skins…none are racist.
Note that there are at least three kinds of skinheads in the UK that shave their heads to make a statement (as opposed to those that do as a brief fad thing). The UK is pretty diverse that way.
The casuality of Unbelievably Calm Goatee Man‘s style position could be anything, though Tai Chi Chan experts tend to fight with that level of nonchalance. It is particularly crushing to the egos of the grand masters whose asses they regularly kicked throughout the ages. It’s not the stance that implies Unbelievably Calm Goatee Man has been studying Tai Chi for years and years, but his unbelievable calm.
But yeah, Angry Skinhead didn’t want to fight. He just didn’t know how to back down.
Did y’all watch with no sound? Northern Engerlanders have funny accents, but that was some Mitteleuropa action, wasn’t it?
loveschild, you are lying. blatantly lying, which is a no-no if you are a good christian. guess you are a bad christian. you will never go to slog happy, because you don’t exist. and you’re not black. and you’re not a woman. there are several black women in my immediate family, and you don’t even COME CLOSE. so fuck off!!!!
