The Cage Page #2

---

It's not enough to put on

a hooligan t-shirt | and be good at fighting.

In a melee of 20 or 30 people | on each side,

20 guys are a fixed group.

If there's more than 20 guys needed, | there's a possibility

we take somebody with us.

We have 21 men...

...I'll go tell them we are here. | Then, we'll do a normal warm-up...

But if any of you have any problems | with knuckles or legs

he'll take care of that.

When did you begin | training martial arts?

I was in 7th grade. | But it was only Karate then...

Later came boxing, judo | and kickboxing and others.

And from these several disciplines, | I created my own style.

We wipe these motherfuckers | out of this planet. Right away...

...Wham-bam... and they're dead! | Then we cover one another.

...I'll tell you about that later.

Slightly worn, isn't it?

Most of the guys are training | various martial arts.

To be honest, to become | a hooligan you'll need

something more than just guts.

You need to know how to fight. | It's important.

Everyone wants to cope | with his life somehow.

If you work out at the gym...

...or train martial arts | it gives you a sense of security.

Because this grey reality | is not so beautiful...

not as they show you on TV.

Every style of fighting | requires training.

Guys who train only for brawls... | ...are using different techniques.

They learn how work as a team.

They prefer to fight in an | upright position.

You'd hardly see any fighting...

...on the ground, because it easier | to get kicked in the head.

Hooligans choose styles that are | suitable for brawls or street-fighting.

Kick him in the head, | but just for a starter.

Don't jump on him...

...or better don't kick at all. | Grab him and hit straight in the face.

Remember-use you elbows.

No jumping on anybody. | That's a rule.

If anyone falls down-watch his back. | If you see anyone on the ground...

...help him to fight of the guy. | But don't kick in the head.

Jump on him, three fast blows | and the motherf***er is out.

Do you teach anyone?

Yeah. I show them some tricks

but not to attack | accidental people.

You know why I do this?

My boxing coach used | to be a gymnastics teacher...

...in a primary school.

He told me he was showing | some basics to his pupils.

Remember, keep your head | low and...

And use your elbows, f***!

Keep shields on the other side.

Why do young people | train martial arts?

Some want to impress their friends, | others just need competition...

...or they want to learn how to fight | in order to defend themselves.

They do it for many reasons.

To be honest, I haven't | thought much about it.

They are in every section.

Each boxing, kickboxing | or judo section has a few...

...guys that fight in these brawls.

Some work out in a gym, | others train fighting...

...Anyway, the times when the fan | was associated

with a liquor bottle, are over.

Nowadays, football fans | are sportsmen.

They don't drink or do anything | to degrade

...their capabilities. | Otherwise, it would be pathetic.

A group of bums against | a group of fit men...

...can have only one result. | 30 seconds and it's all over.

They struggled to even get here. | Only 21 of them came.

They are f***ing sissies. | We've got to waste them right out!

I don't do it just because someone | made me do it. I really like it.

Probably most of my friends | would tell you the same.

Some do it to just show off and attract | someone's attention, that's for sure.

But me - I simply enjoy fighting. | That's what I am training for.

Brawls are just a break for me.

What do my parents think? | ...I'm sure they aren't happy.

Actually, there's nothing | good in being a hooligan.

Mom knows what I do | and what it's all about.

...Once she saw a tape by accident. | It was a year after a brawl.

She watched the tape | and finally understood...

...what had happened to me before.

She remembered how bad | I had looked then.

She noticed a date on the screen | and simply associated facts.

She was crying when I came home.

"How could you do this to me? | Why did you lie to me?"...and so on.

My father had a different attitude | because he is a man.

I'm not sure they ever | got used to it.

Every time I go somewhere,

my mother tells me to be careful.

I try not to talk about it to her.

...If I go out, I just say we go to | a match and stuff...

But I don't tell her about the brawls.

Do you love your parents, | your mother?

Yeah. I do.

- Why do you fight? What for? | - For pleasure. It's very relaxing.

You know, some like Mc Donald,

others watch porn movies | and feel pleasure.

I take pleasure from putting | on boxing gloves

or fighting on the ground.

This is my own pleasure. | And a break from reality.

It's an extreme form of a fight sport. | Similarly, you can ski for recreation...

...or jump on a parachute when | skiing in high mountains.

Every discipline has it.

Generally, people look for something | more challenging or choose simple things.

I do enjoy it.

It's not that I take pleasure | from kicking someone's ass...

It turns me on. | And it's a way to relieve stress.

You work several hours a day... | ...and you can let off some steam.

You sweat, give yourself | a physical strain...

...and, instead of being mean to | you family, you start feeling better.

Yet, some guys become | permanently disabled...

I'm not going to talk about | in front of the camera, Sylwester.

Let's just say that a few guys | were injured at one time or another.

But you can experience | the same on the street.

You can be beaten by some freak... | ...with a bottle or a bat.

It's just an example, you know.

But this may happen.

You don't regard yourself a bandit, | as people think hooligans...

No.

Why should we show it publicly? | We're not doing it for anyone...

...But you make films | and take pictures...

Yeah, but we do it only | for us-just to have a keepsake.

You take these pictures, right?

I can't afford a decent equipment

but I'm trying to make | it look professional.

Maybe in a few years we'll show it | to our kids or something.

Either it will be normal then,

or they'll be shocked to see | what we used to do.

When sixty people are fighting, | it's pretty hard to see everyone.

But the camera catches everything.

And we had cases when | guys proved weak.

Someone was kicking their friend | on the ground

and they were turning | their back...

Anyway, it would be nice to | watch it someday.

Just to see who we were.

It's not about fear or shame.

We simply don't want | people to watch it.

It won't change anything-even | when they see what it looks like.

Either way, they won't accept it.

It's brutal, full of coarse language,

there's blood-like in a real fight.

You beat as hard as you can.

And people are not going | to like it-that's for sure.

Still, I think, many people | understand that.

It's just a popular opinion | they don't.

It's even convenient for them.

We don't fight at stadiums anymore...
