Yeah, looks like Wing Chun based on the clips Google threw my way. Pretty intense stuff. You think there's any schools for that in NYC?

The bouncer just stayed down while the guy made a smart move and dipped right when two of the victim's buddies showed up. He got lucky the whole thing went down near the restrooms while the bouncers were all hung out by the bar. Then again, if the guy actually knows what he's doing, maybe the bouncers just got lucky.

They picked him up and hauled him off somewhere deep inside the club, I'm guessing. Broken nose, split lip—looks like his temple might have cracked too, but it’s hard to tell when the guy's face is basically a bloody mask.

It looked brutal. Way more explosive and, I don't know, violent than your typical bar fight where someone just catches a punch to the head or gets stepped on by some boots.

Not a boxer. I’ve trained in kickboxing, and there wasn't a single hook, uppercut, or rear straight in sight. Every strike looked like some kind of short jab (at least, as much as I could tell at that speed). If he is a boxer, then he’s easily the fastest one I’ve ever seen, even watching pros on TV.

Plus, his stance was all wrong for boxing. He kept his head high and his back dead straight, like he'd swallowed a broomstick.

Can someone help me ID this martial art?

It went down last night at a club in downtown Chicago. This guy—looked totally unassuming, just an average Joe—gets into it with this massive, gorilla-looking bouncer.

The bouncer lunges at him, throws a swing, and the guy just blocks it with his hand before unloading this insane barrage of punches right into the bouncer's face. And when I say insane, I mean it: his hands were literally a blur from how fast he was moving. As the bouncer staggered back, the guy caught him with a front kick to the hip or pelvis (maybe he was aiming for the groin). Once the bouncer hit the ground, the guy leaned over him and just unleashed another volley of strikes to his face. I’ve seriously never seen anything like it. Anyone know what style that might be?
