Days after the Montgomery Melee popularized “ChairJutsu”— the long-practiced art of absolutely whooping an attacker’s ass with the help of a folding chair — the fighting style has officially entered its renaissance, serving as a key component of a recent Detroit brawl.


“The era of the folding chair: Downtown Detroit yesterday,” a local Instagram page captioned a since-deleted video depicting one man beating a white, snapback-clad attacker with a yellow folding chair.



Despite several warnings from passersby along the lines of “stop” and “you’re gonna get fucked up,” the hat-wearing fighter refused to acknowledge the power of the folding chair, a decision that led to him landing on the ground, facing repeated blows to his head and back.


The Instagram page ultimately opted to remove their clip, yet footage of the brutal chair beatdown quickly spread throughout the internet, proving that the new chair-based martial art was here to stay.


“He has great technique,” observed @notslicka_333.

“Folding chairs were white people’s weakness all along???” asked @Marzuh_13.


“They are about to start banning folding chairs,” joked @BigCeobeau.

Meanwhile, several others were inspired to get in on the fun, snapping up folding chairs of their own … just in case.


“Say less,” @thatguyfausi captioned an Amazon receipt for their newest portable seat.



So remember, fighting friends, folding chairs were made for brawling, and as we’ve all learned this week, that’s just what they’ll do.
