Vid is making its round on the net...the "dojo master" and black belt guy have already taken down their facebook and myspace pages as they are getting threats and being harassed.
HERE is a summary post of the events regarding the video from www.bullshido.com.
It is very concise and accurate: From Bullshido:
Here is a summary I sent to some media sources. It already seems a bit out dated as this story is moving fast:
Quote:
Last week a video poped up on youtube (it has now been removed, but is still viewable elsewhere) posted by a Dumfries, Virginia martial arts instructor named Bobby Joe Blythe. The video, while only just posted last week for the first time, was filmed in 1984 and highlighted the near fatal assault of a yet unamed mentally challenged man by one of Blythe's students named Willie J Dennis. Since 1984, Mr Dennis has accumulated a bit of a rap sheet for domestic violence, battery, and assault with a deadly weapon...with a court appearance as recent as August 18th or this year. It may be that Mr. Dennis still teaches martial arts in Florida.
In the video, which is the closest thing to a snuff film I have seen, a clearly mentally challenged man who believes he is a martial artist trained by Jesus is lured into teaching a martial arts "lesson" at Mr. Blythe's dojo (now closed). Circumstances which led the man into the dojo are unconfirmed. However, on the youtube page, Blythe bragged about the incident. The victim, who clearly had no intention to fight anyone, was subsequently beat to the point of severe head trauma, breathing difficulties, and blood loss, despite his continual protests that he was not interested in fighting. After the victim is left with labored breathing and bleeding head woulds (from foot stomping against a mental surface) on the floor, he is dragged out of the gym. Mr. Blythe then proudly videotapes the trail of blood left from dragging the victim out of his gym.
What happened subsequent to the assault is not known. It has not been confirmed if the victim is dead or alive, or who he was. What is known is that Blythe and Dennis (two USMC Veterans - Blythe a Vietnam Vet) were never charged for the crime and that members of the local sheriff's department were students at Mr. Blythe's dojo at the time...and possibly present to witness the assault (there were several witnesses evident in the video). There is suspicion that the crime may have been covered up, but no facts to that effect yet.
Why the video was now posted 25 years later is a mystery. Furthermore, during the same period (1980's), Mr. Blythe has been highlighted in People Magazine and on the Today show in the past with regard to a bodyguarding course for women he used to teach.
The today show clip can be viewed here (you can see Blythe and the dojo are the same as in the assault video):
We (interested parties and volunteer journalistic, legal and law enforcement persons) on Bullshido have been trying to establish Mr. Blythe's whereabouts and spread the word to any current students he may have via the internet martial arts community. We have contacted legal, mental health, and law enforcement authorities in Virgina as well as several media outlets...with no apparent follow through by them at present due to lack of interest or possible statute of limitations for the crime. In short, the lack of interest in this story has been appauling
We have also attempted to contact Blythe and Dennis at their respective youtube/myspace/facebook pages for comment, but they have not responded and have shut down their pages and deleted all content. Though most content had already been saved by Bullshido.
Mr. Dennis now resides in Florida. My Blythe's whereabouts are unconfirmed, though he may be in California.
You can read the entire discussion/investigation here with confirmation of the above facts, police reports, criminal records, screen shots of Blythe's deleted videos/comments, etc:

We would really like to get this story more press and make sure these men are exposed for the crimes they have committed and brought to some kind of justice...moral, if not legal.
that is the most cruel thing i have ever seen in my life, everyone in that room that allowed that to happen should sit in prison for life
+1 agreed!
First, I thought the guy in white was the mentally challenged one. After the "kung fu master" was saying he guy in white won, and was trying to give up. It was confirmed to me the guy in white is mentally challenged.

I'm all for a good fight with two consenting fighters. This guy just got destroyed and didn't even know he was in a real fight. That's jacked up. He wasn't getting owned until he fell. I can't believe the dude did the head stomp. He was trying to kill him.
the mentally challenged guy actually had some pretty good form. he's obviously taken some classes before, or practiced in his bedroom a LOT. but there's NO way he was capable of competing against the guy in white, and the guy in white knew it; everyone knew it.
i cant believe he kept kicking him while he was already down. what a dirtbag where is the honor in that?! both of those dbags are a disgrace to the Corps!
just drag him out the back door?? un****ingbelievable and to think there might have been some cops in the room??
this is like a real life version of the Cobra Kai dojo!
if that guy died as a result of his injuries, then it would be murder. there is no statute of limitations for murder.
I hope those two and the worthless witnesses all die a slow and painful death

Dam, as i was watching i was saying to myself , Mental dudes not doing bad! Then mr ********** must have been a little angry mental dude was throwing with him.There is no reason for the last part of that vid. That should have been stopped after the mental dude fell the first time. Hope these giganta-douches get what they deserve!

for the record that black belt sucked ass.....feel sorry for the mentally challenged man. Once you get "good" which obviously this black belt wasnt, you learn that just because you can kick someones ass doesnt mean you should, and fighting should be the last resort because you COULD kill someone. Add to the fact that this guy was not "normal" and they shouldve politely escorted him out of the dojo, if you want to call it that. IU wouldnt call the black belt a martial artist at all from what I saw. I agree guy should be locked up as well as those who watched.
holy **** that was disgusting. I can't believe somebody with a martial arts education would do that. Wow

1st that was not kung fu, in any way shape or form.
2nd I do kung fu and i work hard at it, please dont mislead people to think that is kung fu.
3rd I seriously doubt either of those guys are "masters" at anything. Just another couple guys who bought belts to wear and show off.
As you can tell this is my first post. I usually lurk around on here checking out stang pics and getting info, but i just had to comment on this because it really pissed me off.
