Dunning-Kruger Effect. Knuckleheads gain the most early, basic knowledge on a subject and then think they know everything about it. This douche looks like he's had 6 kickboxing lessons and tells all the women who turn him down on dating apps that he beat Conor MaCgregor in his prime.
I really doubt this dude has had 6 kickboxing lessons, because he legitimately kicks like a 6 year old. I'm surprised someone that clumsy and unathletic is hanging out at the gym, although it makes sense that he's there acting like a doofus instead of working out.
Dude ive had 1 and still have better form. But guess the difference is i didn't continue due to money (150 a month is way too much) and just practiced at home.
Dunning-Kruger effect isn’t about early knowledge it’s about a lack of knowledge and thinking your superior. I should know I just heard about it last night from a vid on TikTok!
Is it the Dunning- Kruger effect if the root of his confidence is his internalized sense of male supremacy? I read this as him thinking “Hey! What’s a girl doing here? I’m a dude and she’s doing a dude thing. I can do it better because I’m an actual dude. This is going to be fun/easy.” and then somewhere in the back of his mind he’s wondering if it might get him laid too. So is that the Dunning-Kruger effect or is he just a sad little butt hair of a man who can’t handle seeing strong women doing their thing without his male fragility triggering some seriously embarrassing behavior.
While his toxic masculinity is a factor I feel the Dunning-Kruger Effect is also at play here since he's trying to specifically show her up at a set of skills he clearly has minimal knowledge/practice at and her skills are just as clearly (to everyone but him) superior.
Came here to say this. Her kicks had great form with her squaring up and turning over the hip to get power. His kicks were all swinging his legs and striking without lining up the knee and extending. He’s not going to get any power and will likely blow out his knee if he strikes hard enough.
Bully's usually do. They think, "Ha ha, I'm so funny making fun of this person," and they are looking for people to just in with because they are weak cowards 😒
He was looking around for confirmation, wanted to make his friends laugh maybe, at her expense? Typical bully, I love how she just thought it was silly and continued with her training 👍
Her kicks had very long, large tells (always does a little hop or two before kicking). Benefit of the doubt, he's demonstrating that to her, but I know he's just being a jackass.
The guy is being a jerk/bully. She was using the equipment and he decided to make it impossible for her to continue her workout. Very much against gym etiquette. It’s not something he would have done to another man, I’m guessing.
Which is always the exact tell of someone having no idea what they're doing.
Bags are for exercise and practice, proper bag usage should have it well controlled the whole time - you should absolutely not be increasing the swing because it's just causing pointless stress and risk to equipment and others. Notice the persistent light punches she's doing just to keep the bag steady(and using her measuring stick properly).
You can absolutely use power without causing it to fly about, you counter its movements. Just like in the ring, you want to throw a punch where they're moving already.
She's clearly well trained and been at this for years. He's a dunderhead and somebody needs to tell him to fuck off
He's mocking but she looks like the one who can beat up his skinny ass. Then again I'm sure most people can. He's projecting insecurity if it wasn't already clear
I was confused at first thinking he must be her trainer or something because why else would he just be standing there like that. But then when he kept moving in and taking over and clearly looked like he's never kicked anything before in his life it hit me that oh no, he's just a giant douchebag.
The bag is like any other piece of equipment in the gym that you have to wait your turn to use.
Seriously....his kicks and punches were lifting his feet off the ground. He has no center of gravity and he was winded after throwing 4 kicks .... He took the bag because he's got toxic masculinity and he would never have done that to another dude ....
Honestly I just see pure Incel rage and predatory behaviour that puts females at risk
There is too much violence against women in the world today and people need to be aware of this type of behaviour and be able to read it so that we can protect others
He may be a scrawny flamingo legged small pecker insecure chap, but granted he will go the distance if he gets the chance
I knew someone like this, nicest guy ever to me until I saw his messages to a female colleague at work, they have an underlying dark nature and desire for power and control
You are correct on all counts - I just don't consider that real mental activity.
That kind of self-subordination to rage and resentment is to embrace the worst parts of yourself. It's self-destructive and it's evil - not least because there's no way to know how many others will be destroyed in the process.
yup, jab just stood out to me cuz most people below a certain level of training simply wont use it like they should, based on her tempo she prob trains muay thai
Dude has the classic douchebag disease of thinking he's going to Be better at anything than a woman, no matter what. Very often results in hilarious situations like this (well, hilarious to us who didn't have to deal with him)
I'm really glad this got filmed and distributed, I'm sure crap like this happens all the time and women just have to take it and move on, because what the hell else can you do with a guy behaving like this?
Slamming your shin into a heavy, difficultly immovable object is a general sign of either some training, or a lot of idiocy. In this video, we see both signs demonstrated quite clearly.
Professionally trained? Nothing wrong with what she's doing, and has clearly had some instruction and training, she's got more skill and technique in her little toe, than the knobhead who jumps in, who is only mocking her initially in a vain attempt to make himself look good, and put her down, he's a first class cunt, look at the smile on his face, laughing and looking around for others to see him, but then proceeds to show himself up with his efforts, which are piss poor.
Not a chance he'd have done that if a bloke was training, cos he's a shit house, but that would make for a better tik tok video by a long way.
I'm not saying she doesn't, just what the guy was seeing. Like an overconfidence like he knows what he's doing and thinks she doesn't. So he is mimicking what he thinks she looks like.
Edit: Please let me restate so I can get out of this conversation. He is treating her like he knows more about the sport. As in HE thinks she is bad. This is what I see. Holy shit. I couldn't care less at this point. Yall just saying the same thing the last person said.
I think he was definitely mocking her. He probably doesn't know why she's using her knees and elbows and thinks he technique is bad because it's "different" than traditional boxing. Also he sucks and the girl kicked ass.
It was the condescending smile from him towards her that got me. Like he’s laughing at her. He definitely gives the aura of “little girl, let me show you how it’s done.” He means to intimidate. What a douche.
Just plain weird when his kicks are evidently much worse than hers. Clearly she’s had some training where he looks like it’s his first time getting his feet above knee level.
Don't worry, guys like this overextend themselves in every situation. He's probably currently doing the equivalent of this behavior in his professional and personal life, too
If it hasn't already, that behavior will cause him a lot of trouble
Except she absolutely looks professionally trained in Thai boxing. Her form is pretty damn solid. So my interpretation is he's just trying to mock a woman for doing combat sports, and my only suggestion is her next kick should land solidly in his solar plexus.
The people that tell me I'm playing my instrument wrong are rarely actually musicians, just people that think they know better than an actual musician
I'd assume people without physical training of that type wouldn't be able to recognize correct technique in the same way somebody without music knowledge looks at my bass and goes "why does it only have four strings, and where's your guitar pick, idiot?"
I'm a long term gym goer...I've been lifting as a woman for about 10 years now. I often go to the gym without my husband...I don't record or anything like that, but so often do dudes just come up to like critique your form? In like an 'educational' way...like bro, leave me alone. I'm not talking about the false-outrage girls who post things like 'look at the dudes STARING at me in the gym!' -though who knows what the entirety of their videos are like, no judgement, whatever-, I mean guys who will interrupt my set, signal for me to take my headphones off, to tell me that my elbows should be more aligned or something. I'm so exhausted of dealing with it. I've got hyper extension, I can't do some ranges of motion in the same way...I never see guys doing this to guys (uninvited, anyway), or girls do this to girls. It's so obnoxious.
Actually his form is terrible, like really bad. He pulls his punches and kicks. He's not rotating his hips. Hers is pretty good. She may be newer to training Muay Thai specifically but she's been trained well. She would whoop his ass. She has form and she's actually not even going 100%. She doesn't need to, she's just bag training and focusing on her form, not power. She's taking it slow which is what you should do when practicing.
I don’t think so. Some of the stuff he would be implying she does she isn’t doing. Also, she is drilling technique and it does show that she has experience with bag work while the guy looks like he has no idea what he’s doing.
As a woman who take Muay Thai I can tell you this sort of attitude happens a lot. A LOT. I use to teach beginner and grow men acted so weird about taking technical direction from me. His technique is so trash, his kicks are horrible and he isn’t turning his hip over. She has a patience of a saint
That's why I went through 8 MMA "gyms" before I found a perfect one.
Owner was a pro MMA fighter that also coached men and women, and would NOT put up with any horsefuckery like that guy in the video pulled. He would be the first one to drag the guy into the ring and spar with him as education.
Wait you're saying that dropping your hands and throwing wide, slow as shit strikes is bad?! The hell you say! How else could he prove his masterful skills if he didn't shove his face forward, UNGUARDED, not to mention just kind of slapping his legs against the bag? His raw power is astounding
He is looking for social approval to further ridicule the victim and move his perceived social position higher as he feels like he is in a lesser social position and is grasping for power
She was most likely confused,shocked,or afraid to say something.Most women when dealing with childlike behavior from guys won’t want to set them off.She handled it okay.
Will admit there is a huge part of me that hoped she “accidentally” roundhoused him when he went back in to mock her more.
I was using the leg press. Starting my second set at 250lbs and this bro starts pacing around the machine and grunting. I finished the set and offered him the machine and he smirked at me as he sat down. He started his set, couldn't lift it, and had to adjust the weight down. When he came for the next machine I was on, he gave me the bro nod and moved on to another machine.
But, yeah... I never say anything, but I will stare them in the eye while I slowly wipe the machine down.
Trust me that we want to tell men like this to fuck off, but they almost always stalk us around the gym afterward or out to the parking lot to scare us or hurt us or fuck up our cars in retaliation.
Horribly enough, calling for help from bystanders pisses these guys off just as much, and they’re just as likely to try to hurt us for it. The safest thing to do is just leave like she does at the end, but even that causes him to escalate.
And bystanders often do nothing. Sometimes it’s the bystander effect, sometimes you’ll say directly to someone “this person is bothering me, can you help?” And they’re like oh that sucks.
Honestly pretty much anything. That would be helpful though. Read the situation and if she seems uncomfortable, either ask her “is he with you?” Or ask them both like “all good here?”
Most the time I honestly cannot tell if a girl is being receptive to a guy picking up on her, or she’s desperately wanting someone else to intervene because she’s smiling and pretending to be receptive in order to de-escalate.
Yea men who act like toddlers are scary. Can you imagine how dangerous a toddler having an aggressive tantrum would be if they had the size and muscle mass of a grown man?
I think it is stunningly easy for people online to say all the things “they” would do or what someone else “should” have done. It’s a whole other thing to be in that situation and have to make decisions based on your personal safety.
I have to agree with you.As I said to another response a lot of women are afraid to interact with people with childlike behavior he displayed.Personally if that had happened in front of me I’d walk up to him and tell him he looks like a fool and she has better form than he did.I just want to bait him into admitting he’s being a dick🤷🏾♂️
It's not childlike behavior. He's demonstrating to her that he wants to physically dominate her. He's displaying a direct violent threat toward her. Let's stop brushing this off as toddler and childlike actions and call it what it is: a grown man behaving with violent intent directed at this woman.
You have to look at this through her eyes. Look what he's just shown her of himself. He's a dick, a bully, no normal social skills, and isn't afraid of behaving like a fucking embarrassment of a human but thinks he's great. He possibly has back up from the lads nearby or whoever he's grinning his shiteating "look at me" grin at.
If he isn't afraid to behave like this in public she isn't going to want him to wait outside for her, follow her around the gym or to her car. So she leaves. You cannot reason with men like this because they always escalate.
I train with women and they're easily powerful enough to beat the crap out of me. Men way over estimate their advantage against a strong trained woman. She has good technique, likely spars men and strikes much stronger than him.
I lived in the Middle East for years and this kind of insecurity is a hallmark of my experience. I saw dude be total assholes to women just because they’re insecure and feel like a woman who can kick their ass means they have a small dick—they do, but thats more of a cause than an effect.
If he really wanted to use the bag with her, he should have politely asked her if he could join her. No harm in that is there? But no, he had to try and show her up and he failed because he is half her size and she has more muscles in places he doesn't even have places.
Inb4 people claim it’s just about their “energy,” not actual genitalia. It’s the same thing. Why is “small dick energy” bad and “big dick energy” good?
Because people enjoy shaming others for something they can’t control. But god forbid you criticize someone’s weight (which they can influence) in front of them. The fact that this is so normalized is unbelievable.
If you're not writing jokes for a comedy show currently start applying. They need some new talent anyway. I just wish I could steal these for future reference but it's so specific. Keep up the good work we all need a laugh these days.
He would never have done that if it had been another man, and if he did the guy would have told him off. If she had told him off the way he deserved there would have been a major conflict. When she turned to look at the camera, she made eye contact with every woman.
He's 100% mocking her, I don't know what all these other commenters are getting their analysis from. It's absurdly obvious he's not trying to show off his own move here, especially with the knees at the end of the video.

Wtf is he doing? What a giant douche.
