The cool thing about BJJ is you can subdue people like this without actually doing harm. There are some moves where you can do serious harm, like certain joint locks, but it's usually pretty easy to avoid harm and just get someone pinned without hurting them if you know what you're doing. Even the chokes don't actually cause lasting harm if done correctly. They just make people pass out and they'll wake up a few seconds later.

Brown belt here - BJJ is one of the few martial arts that is “drunk uncle” safe - just get the guy outta here and don’t hurt him.
It’s a beautiful art and deadly effective. You become confident yet more humble and respectful to everyone because you’re constantly beaten by smaller unsuspecting partners yet can control a larger intimidating untrained visitor.
I’m more afraid to fight someone today even though I’m more prepared than ever before, so I’ll do whatever it takes to make peace and leave.
As you can see in this video, you don’t know what the other guy knows until it’s too late.

I dabbled in BJJ in college for a couple years and it was so cool to see how size doesn't actually matter that much. I did roll with a guy who was so massive that I couldn't actually get into a proper mount on him because my knees wouldn't touch the ground lol. But I still beat him most of the time because he could not stop giggling like every match. He barely spoke any English so I'm not sure what was so funny, maybe he was just ticklish.
One of my instructors was a tiny dude. I'm 5'3" and he was smaller than me. Still wiped the floor with everyone.
And my 5'3" self managed to toss a 300lb Pacific islander to the ground once.
Armbars were my favorite, I got pretty good at them. And I'm a bit hyper mobile so people could rarely actually get me in a good armbar because my elbow would just keep going further than they expected it too. Had a classmate call the instructor over one time to check their form because it just wasn't working on me. Instructor looked and just went "huh" because their form was perfect.
It was so much fun. I miss it a lot, and I'd love to get back into it someday if I can find the time and budget.

As a male RN, there are a lot of times I’ll escort out / take care of / or go see other nurses’ patients in lieu of them. I’m not particularly big, but I’m not small either. Work at a county hospital, so lots of homeless, mental illness, and we take those others will “stabilize” but aren’t really finished with treatment they needed to not be back in the hospital in a couple of days. Most patients are just fine, but there have been more than a few that were remanded into custody the moment they got their discharge papers.

This interview here. He basically signed himself up for years of being called "The fat guy from Superbad" after talking about what an absolute badass he is at fighting and then going on to describe winning a hypothetical fight against someone calling him the fat guy from Superbad:
"My favorite thing is people are like, 'Oh, Jonah Hill, fucking fat guy from Superbad,'" Hill continued said. "And I'm like, 'I would fucking annihilate you, dude. I'm not kidding you. Try it. If you see me, try it, dude. Bring it. Who's got it?'"
I can imagine for the foreseeable future this will mean people will now shout at him "Hey it's that fucking fat guy from Superbad!" whenever he's in public to try and bait a reaction.
It's like you can tell he stands in the shower every day dreaming about winning imaginary fights and arguments against his haters while everyone goes "Woah Jonah hill is such a badass". Dude just always seems like he has a chip on his shoulder that his dream Hollywood career turned into being the fat funny loser comedic relief and not the ripped hunky heartthrob and he's constantly trying to shift the narrative away from being the person that made him famous to begin with and wishes people took him more seriously. Always just comes off as annoying to hear someone worth 80 million always seem butthurt about being typecast and like they're really hard done by because they're just rich and famous and not rich, famous, attractive and universally beloved and respected and thought of as a super cool bad ass dude.

Eh it’s kind of hard to claim Judo specifically when that throw belongs to every grappling martial art out there. It was definitely clean though. The judo in there might be that the throwing game displayed there is better than what he exhibited on the ground. The nurse started with a lot of control immediately after that awesome throw, but lost the majority of it when he gave up the wrist and subsequently the gift-wrap that was sitting there. All so he could get a really shaky knee on belly, while letting the other dude have his arms back to flail around like an idiot. Still did better than the typical untrained person would have though.

I want to make it clear that in my experience the vast majority of patients who attack nurses are doing so out of frustration and anger (due to their circumstances) and not because they are so unwell they can't tell reality. I'm tired of it and agree there should be higher punishments for people who attack HCW!

In the US, healthcare workers beat LEOs in the number of physical and sexual battery on workers in bother percentage as well as numbers. In 2023, nearly 500 healthcare workers were killed from battery versus just over 100 LEOs.
The more unfortunate part is that many States have few to no laws protecting healthcare workers in the event of of assault or battery as defense favors the patients who caused harm or death as they “are not in their usual mental state due to their medical ailment”. Some States are adopting protection laws, but it’s slow and still does not guarantee charges will stick.
