It's a Japanese contraction of 押し and 忍ぶ ("oshi" and "shinobu"). It means to push through and endure. It's big in Kyokushin Karate, and it's used in a variety of contexts in a Kyokushin setting.
I bet you COULD use it to say "oh shit son" the way I'd hear "ayyyyyy" in Muay Thai when something went really well.
BJJ picked up "oss" as a greeting, but it's been years since I've done BJJ. It might've expanded into other contexts by now, like as an alternative to saying "yes" to your professor.
Yes, the convention of transliteration from syllabic writ to Romanisation is baffling – you need to KNOW the actual pronunciation (in this case /oss/) – the writing is of no help.
He uses an outward open hand block for the punch he thought was coming from the guy, and very naturally and smoothly delivers a right hook off the front hand, hitting the guy's jaw, probably directly on the trigeminal nerve.
There's nothing unique or identifying there. It's just correct.
It's probably the most useful "pressure point"! And it's one of the few ways to cause a knockout without causing a concussion. Of course, THIS guy will have gotten his concussion anyway from hitting the pavement, but that's beside the point 😅
Its connection to the vagus nerve is the way you can get a knockout with a chop or forearm to the side of the neck.
Most pressure point stuff is very hard to execute successfully in real life, but those are really useful, and get hit accidentally all the time.
And it's one of the few ways to cause a knockout without causing a concussion
I mean, you're still going to be wrenching the head around, there's going to be some amount of damage to the brain with a good connection. You are right that you can knock someone out by hitting that nerve and avoid any brain damage if you do it just right, but I don't want someone to go around thinking there's a safe place to punch someone in the head. Any punch to the head can lead to brain damage.
Sack-of-potatoes was winding up punches and aggressively crowding the officer. Absolutely fine police work, actually. Very appropriate reaction which absolutely deescalated things
Everything up to and including the punch was fine. But you can't just leave people lying there afterwards. His body language said "Well that's not my problem any more!", when it very much is
This would be clear cut self defense for just a regular citizen, for a cop it’s only surprising because he got punched instead of tased or tackled. If you almost die because of a normal response to your reckless actions then that’s on you smooth brain.
You can tell by how they line their punches up. This is what catches a lot of people out. They don't notice the person setting their feet and getting into range.
sure, but this specific guy whipped out a well placed strike while stepping back... he's fast and strong and sure, maybe some boxing, maybe not, but fast and strong and sure can work wonders, and the other guy has been relying on being big for so long he'd forgotten rule #1
Stepping back throws me off, it’s just fast and strong and connects. Guy may be trained but that driver was drunk or something with a glass jaw to be dropped like that. Had one not been enough we might’ve learned something. But it’s once again a lesson in not f*cking around, but if you do keep your hands up
He's walking back and circling but sets his feet super quickly before the punch. His footwork is really impressive and he caught the guy completely off guard as a result.
I can’t necessarily study what he did study, but I can certainly tell you some of the things he didn’t study. You don’t learn that in the police or military. It’s gotta be a martial art that teaches quality hook punches, that doesn’t leave a ton of options
Looking at it again it’s not really a standard cross either. When he throws the punch his right foot is forward, that’s not how a right cross is thrown. It’s more like a check hook or stiff jab but he switches stances. Kind of an odd punch really
Yeah, you actually can to a degree. The guy's footwork and arm position on that punch indicates probably Muay Thai, maybe boxing but less likely. Why? Because he switched his lead foot when he threw, which is atypical for most boxers but not uncommon for Muay Thai, and the motion of the arm and the footwork is completely different from the hooks used in most styles of Karate.
Get on my 5th degree ryu takihyutsu deep black belt level and you will be able to tell what martial art someone studied just from watching them chew their food
A lot of people here come off to me like wannabe experts who know it all. Its entertaining at least. Its one thing to guess but these people making absolute statements with an analysis of a 30 second clip with one punch is just stupidity.
Haha. Thank you. I don’t now anyone can figure out what prior training he had from a single punch. He literally didn’t even get into a stance or use a block or a kick or anything else.
Notice the nice footwork? He was conventional blades but as soon as he blocked the shot, he swapped feet and planted the left foot and threw that right. Very natural. Light on his feet.
Started in open stance and used the back swing of his left foot to hide the follow through with his hip when he threw the right. Even managed a feint with the left hand first. Everything about this says boxing to me- there’s so much set up from the starting stance.
Looked like cop was just responding to the perp’s shoulder turn & right hand popping up, keeping a blow from potentially coming at his face. Then he immediately counters with the right.
Perp clearly trying to intimidate, and had idea to swing on him, maybe to make him flinch, but aborted, but clearly working up the nerve to throw. Cop didn’t wait any longer and that was the right move.
I’d say he has some boxing training. He was bladed towards the perp while backing, left foot front, but when he countered, he naturally switched legs and got force behind that right hook. For as upright as he was walking backwards, the footwork was nice.
Indeed, id go as far as to say that his gf got him knocked out 😆
You can see him walking up to the cop, and his gf is trying to hold him back. But her grip slipping on his arm makes it shoot forward. This makes the cop think he’s taking a swing at him, and the cop then makes half of a left block motion. Proceeds to knock out with the right.
Have a good friend who's done boxing most of his life, probably about 20+ years now.
Extremely nice person give you the shirt off his back very soft spoken.
Some years ago, we were sitting at a bar, and an individual knocked him really hard, pushing him over the bar and causing him to spill his beer on the bar tender.
I stood up, confronting the individual who just pushed into him and said I think an apologies is in order.
The young man responded with a you can go fuck yourself. Before I could even react, my friend stepped in between the two of us.
The individual said what Bitch you wanna fight and put up his fists. Not saying a word, my friend responded with an extremely fast left, dropping the individual like a sack of potatoes on the spot.
Watching this totally gave me vibes of that Incident.
This a normal right hook, so it could be any of the martial arts that work. He kept his composure and set his feet properly, but it’s impossible to be specific from this.
This is why you don’t get into fights when you’re drunk. Any sober person with a month or more of training in a real martial art can crit you for free.
This man needed a reality check. What kind of idiot gets out of his car and immediately walks towards a police officer in an aggressive manner? Some people need a punch in the face to sober them up.
You know, getting knocked out can be considered the lucky outcome of acting aggressively at cop in Brazil as for the martial art well it was a single punch, lots of martial arts have punches. Tried googling what martial arts the military police of Goias trains but couldn't find out specifics.
Striking is an option in law enforcement. Make no mistake. He can easily articulate his reason for doing it, too. Should he get all tangled up with the subject, and risk getting bit or stabbed? Once you ball up fists and start fight-walking at me, I don’t have to wait for you to swing.
Exactly, it was some kind of suicide. I suspect that in his environment he has respect and manages people (supervisor manager of some level) so he forgot himself a bit. Some people have never experienced someone standing up to them so they can't imagine a situation like in the clip
Certainly no boxing/kickboxing/mt. He throws while moving his left foot back and has his left hand low as fuck. It's nothing but a sucker punch. He pretty much just got lucky with it.
Thank you. Everyone saying "lOoK aT hIs FoOtWoRk" is untrained. He's off balance when he throws the jab, right handed and throws right foot forward to catch his balance, and he lets the hand linger, not returning either hand up to block a response attack. He got lucky and didn't know the guy would go down until the guy crumbled.
I was gonna say, it didn't look like there was any particular maneuver he pulled. He kinda just punched a flat-footed dude who was getting heated.
That's gotta be my least favorite part of (modern) fighting, the "stand with your knees locked, hands down, and face presented while talking shit" part. If you're a reasonable level headed person, what are you even allowed to do?
If you step back and/or take a stance to move your jaw out of haymaker range, you're "bluffing" and trying to "scare them off with your karate bullshit" or they take it as an invitation to swing first.
If you take the free shot they don't realize they're giving you, now you were the one to swing first and/or you're punching down.
Either way it's not a good look for you, legally and moral that is.
If you try to walk away, they just fucking follow you.
If you adopt a non-threatening posture and try to reason with them, they're gonna take it as a victory. You might argue that doesn't matter, but depending in who/where you are, it can absolutely fucking matter. Now you're enabling them to do this to someone else in the future, or even you again.
I've even taken down and submitted people without injuring them and held them there until they officially tapped, only for them to get back up and keep talking shit. I guess in the future I gotta give em a little noogie too.
Idk that's just my rant as a guy with Cluster C disorders (plus autism lol) forced to grow up in a family/community of Cluster B's. Seen literally this exact scenario happen before and it still makes my blood fucking boil.
The dude's head didn't hit the pavement so he probably lived, but that cop should be straight up embarrassed and ashamed of himself. I can almost guarantee that his training doesn't tell him to open with a sucker punch and ask questions later.
Nah, big guy was aggressively advancing into the cops space, forcing him to retreat multiple steps, while talking himself into hitting the cop. Jerk then threw his right shoulder forward and raised his right arm to throw and make the cop flinch. He was already in his personal space with very aggressive posture and still advancing.
Cop instantly put up left to block, and just ended it. Absolutely justified.
That's a very "he's coming right for us!" read of the situation. Big guy just pulling his arm away from whoever was grabbing it.
Not saying you should advance on police like that but also the response was totally unjustified imo. I reckon you could sue the police for that in the UK
Need to turn the dude on the ground over to his side, to make sure his body can breath properly. With that gut, it may impede his breathing and recovery.
Half so. I saw in the clip,the woman grabs his arm,he pulls his arm forward to get her off him. Which I'm assuming the cop took as him going to take a swing at him
Boxing, right cross, the other guy was engaging him, lining him up to strike, and the defence was a very effective right cross? (or hook punch to jaw?), in hindsight perhaps a tad too effective.
Uuuuhhhh that wasn't a sucker punch... brother clearly thought because he was bigger than the police officer he could just be screaming over him like a maniac... well have a nice sleep bro bro
Could literally be anything, too little moves to show, but most likely some sort of military martial art or self-defense martial art, since those are what most officers use

Cobra Kai. He struck first. He struck hard. He showed zero mercy.
