How did you arrive at the fact it is a Japanese woman? The blog is in Russian cyrillic alphabet and the words on the video are Chinese although the Japapnes use a lot of Chinese characters. Just curious how you ascertained that.

I don't think that's a hoax at all.

Martial arts training is quite widespread in japan.

Secondly, that throw, in which the fellow landed horribly on his neck, is exceedingly life threatening. No way someone would stage that for a hoax, the guy could die or be in a wheelchair for life.

They look Japanese to me. Both with straight black hair. Small builds. Maybe Korean.

And they know martial arts.

Martial arts expertise = an Asian of some sort.

They don't look Russian in any event.

Oh, and forget the Cyrillic writing on the site.

Check out the clearly Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Whatever characters on the tv screen itself, in bottom left.

I don't think it's real. They bind their womens feet over there just so they can't pull shit like that. I saw it on National Geographic Explorer.

Oh, and I just checked. George, who sent it to me, says it's from Japan, and I think he has some knowledge in that regard, though I kinda forget.

Inscrutable!

Women who can execute a textbook full suplex like that turn me on.

Looks staged to me.

Yo Ace, you said,

Oh, and forget the Cyrillic writing on the site.

okay, I don't know. I changed Japanese to Asian.

It's a Known Fact that it's a fake.

That's a nice hit and run, runninrebel... can you source that for us?

Man, how many times is that stupid guy going to try to take her purse? She's slammed him exactly the same way like...twenty-nine times now!

Bridging leg hook belly-to-back suplex.

This move was made famous by Yoshinari Ogawa, a Puroresu star in Japan. "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson currently employs it often as well. He might be the best Pro Wrestler in America you never heard of.

These guys can actually do this move to people and not kill them, which is nice.

Japanese women's wrestling, known as Joshi Puroresu, is quite amazing (and at a few points in the 90's was actually the finest, fastest, hard-hittingest Pro Wrestling action to be found in the world. They would do moves that made this actually seem not so dangerous. I don't doubt this could be a woman, but I do doubt it is real.

Now it's time to post this under an assumed name, so not only can I hide the shame of being a Pro Wrestling fan, but the added shame of being such a big fan of Pro Wrestling that I regularly watch tapes of it from Japan, Mexico and England as well. It would actually be much less shameful when women come over and see a box of tapes to say "oh that's part of my huge hardcore porn collection" than to admit it's pro wrestling.

This is the moron blog where lipstick dynamite posts.
How can knowledge of Japanese female wrestling be shameful around here?

The Russian text identifies this as happening in a elevator of a Tokyo office building.

"Mmm asian women"

/homer voice

Mmmm indeed Digger. http://www.fredoneverything.net/AsianWomen.shtml

So, from all your comments, I can come to the conclusion that it's fake but accurate.

Hot skirt, by the way. Looooove pleated plaids.

Oh shit, did I say that out loud?

The Russian news text indicates that its real -- that she broke the purse-snatcher's neck, who was sent to a hospital (and lived, I guess), and that the girl was praised by the police.

And you know what I always say -- if you can't trust Russian internet news and gossip aggregators to be 100% reliable, then you might as well not trust the New York Times. (Or, something like that.)

I don't care if it's not real. I just like trying to hit the pause button at the precise moment of impact.

I find all of your comments to be meanspirited, jingoistic, spiteful, and unfunny.

There's that moment when she whips him back in the elevator but he keeps his back to her. Well, that's the part you don't want to look at too closely if you're stimulated by the 'reality" of this clip.

I don't want to spoil it for you wankers, but I think he would have spun around and smacked her at that point.

Any way to download it?

THAT'S my girl!!!

Feeling all warm and fuzzy now.

Dude, I think you've outdone yourself in being late to the party this time. Even on the site you link to, you can see the date posted as MAY

It's was a viral ad for a Japanese magazine

I have to say that it does look fake.

Notice that when the elevator door opens the girl does not move a muscle. Normally one would turn a bit or shift your weight and prepare to leave, but she stands rigidly. Just waiting.

And the guy just seems to back himself into her hold.

Ah well, it's still fun to watch...

She wouldn't move a muscle if the stop was for the floor the guy pushed, right? Which is what you would expect...

Oh yeah, good point.

I guess I do put the "moron" in "moronblog".

Nah, Lipstick, only a city slicker would know about buildings with more than two floors.

It's not real. He set himself up for the fall and pushed off with his feet. Cool, though.

Man, he's still going! How long does this video take?

lol Laura, you're more right than you know--my tiny hometown had no buildings worthy of an elevator.

So yes, I'll go with the Hick Defense.

Of course it's not real. It's a damn pro wrestling move. If it were real, I don't think the girl would be holding the guy's shoulders on the floor for a three count.

Babel fish translation:

Not always the attempts to select in those surrounding things conclude with the success of robbers. The camera of internal observation, established in one of the elevators of Tokyo office, fixed the unique case, when they gave worthy rebuff to criminal. With the broken neck it was delivered into the hospital, and girl after the dacha of indications in the police station was with the peace tempered vosvoyasi.

It's clipped from a commercial for a Japanese comics publisher, hence the action. There's another one where a convenience-store clerk and a would-be robber suddenly kiss, which sells girls' "boy-boy love" comics.

It's a damn pro wrestling move.

It may have been used by pro wrestlers, but it's a variation on a classic jujutsu throw -- ura nage, a.k.a., "rear throw."

Normally, you use it when your opponent has turned his back to you (as when he tries to throw you forward but doesn't execute his throw properly). But here, the woman simply grabbed the man from behind. The result is much the same -- the opponent lands on the back of the neck.

My apologies to anyone who says that this is genuine, but I'm afraid that it is most certainly a fake.

The man is slightly larger than the woman, and he's running full out when he grabs her purse and exits the elevator. She should have been jerked off her feet even if she managed to hold on the the purse, but instead she easily pulls him back in to the elevator.

Classic martial arts move or not, the assailant meekly stands still while she sets it up. He's not punching or kicking, or even making any attempt to leave after she pulls him back into the elevator. This simply wouldn't happen if he was a desperate criminal that's facing jail time if caught.

The thug is extremely cooperative in other ways. He gives a little hop when the victim hoists him into the air, allowing her to lift him high enough to complete the move. If he didn't jump at just the right time, she wouldn't have been able to do anything but fall down and drag him down on top of her.

So why should anyone listen to me? I'm a professional self defense instructor with 14 years of experience. It would be nice to think that this is a visual record of a purse snatcher getting some badly needed payback, but the simple fact of the matter is that it's fake.

James

It's fake? It's fake? How can I go on...?

And what's with all this babbling about pro wrestling anyway? Sweet Jesus, you guys aren't insinuating that pro wrestling is also fake, are you?

What's left to believe in?

Well, Jimminy Crickets! If you can't trust obscure Russian websites for accurate news who can you trust?!
Ah well, I guess there's always good ol' Reuters.

George: Good input. I'm an ex-Judoka now studying Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, so I'm very familiar with the uranage.

That's no uranage though, as I'm sure you know. You'd never get that kind of height with a uranage, (nor would you want to, you want to throw for speed and distance, not amplitude) which is why I identified it as the Puroresu move and not the legit throw.

Plus, with a uranage there's no need to hold a bridge at the end like you do with the Pro Wrestling move. That's the dead giveaway this is fake right there.

If you were trained and capable of executing that move for real, you'd either try to escape immediately, or float into side control or the mount and finish the fight, which would have made for an even more interesting video!

AN, what struck me was the fact that, several beats before she executes the throw, she retrieves the handbag and tosses it behind her into the corner of the elevator. Then, there's over a full second of purely preparatory movement (tsukuri) that has no self-defense purpose. The "assailant" is trying to escape, the bag is recovered, there's nothing left to do but let go and watch him run off.

Now that you mention it, she does get some excessive altitude. The arc of uke's body in a proper ura nage is more diagonal, not straight back over the top. The arc is supposed to be almost the mirror image of the arc of uke's body in a seoi nage, which goes diagonally over-and-around nage's shoulder, not straight over the top of nage's head (the way that beginners always want to do it.)

I've been in jujutsu for a while. At my old school, there were a few people who were getting into Brazilian (this was 1995-2000, when BJJ was really taking off). They were great athletes, and impervious to pain as far as I could tell. But they were also getting involved in spectator fight promotions as a business venture, which I had no real interest in. I went the other direction, spending more time on the more classical, aiki, tachi waza kind of thing.

Brazillian is lots of fun. I'm too old for competing/hard training in no-gi MMA-type shenanigans now, but the classic style BJJ is great. The guys I study with are pure class acts, and I have managed to avoid injury while training pretty darn hard. We do have one day of no-gi that I attend, but my training partner is also older and doesn't try to kill me so much.

Actually, MOST of the MMA guys are really great martial artists, and even most of the young guys seem mature beyond their years. I had some negative feelings about the sport 10 years ago when I was strictly judo, but knowing these guys and seeing their attitudes has turned me into a fan of the sport. I've even started doing some light muay thai cross training now, inspired by these young guys.

In Judo, where I first came across the move, we were taught to throw a little less on the diagonal than in JJ. Also, in Judo, the move is almost always done released at the end, just sending your opponent flying/rolling onto his head and neck. In BJJ we are taught to hang on if possible and roll with the opponent, which can put you right into the mount if you are good.

Nice to hijack this thread w/ you, George.

Thanks for the links, and thanks to all who strove to clarify the physics and martial arts ideals. I subscribe to a basic skepticism, but hope this is an actual capture of a dirtbag getting his clock cleaned.

Parenthetically, my Russian was just good enough that I noticed another item on the left--- turns out to be a video advertising a new perfume — “Vulva.”

What a world!

This has been around for a while, actually.

It's a Back Suplex with a bridge. Even though it's commonly done in pro wrestling, that move WILL mess you up if you don't know how to protect yourself from the fall, or escpace it before it gets taken to that point. It's a high-amplitude throw, and if you don't take all the delays a pro wrestler gives so the other guy can get physically and mentally prepared for the throw, you can hurt someone with it. Lou Thesz used to do a similar move he called the Greco-Roman Backdrop. He actually used the move on a guy who ridiculed him/pro wrestling and knocked the guy out with it.
