Takanakuy: Fistfighting in the Andes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2012
- Once a year around Christmas in the Peruvian Andes, the whole town gets together to dance, drink and beat the hell out of each other.
Christmas festivities vary widely around the world, and are widely a steaming crock of boring shit. Ooh, Swedish girls wear a crown of candles the night before Chistmas? Please tell me more about this scintillating national cust-snzzzZZZZZZZZZ.
In the Peruvian Andes, folks know how to celebrate the season right. What they do is, they put on a colorful ski-mask, dress up like Mad Max mountain bikers, tie a dead eagle to their heads, and get drunk and dance for about a week straight. Then, come Christmas morning, they all gather together in the middle of town and beat the baby bejesus out of each other. Now we're talking, right?
The festival is called Takanakuy and its equal parts sporting event, indigenous display of hypermasculine defiance in the face of all the lilywhite metropolitan sissies in Lima, and makeshift judicial system. The province of Chumbivilcas, where Takanakuy takes place, has about three cops total and is a stomach-wrecking 10-hour drive through the mountains to the nearest courthouse. So if you've got a beef with a neighbor or someone's taken your girl or sheep, you don't go crying about it to some judge. You bury it away until Christmas, then get yourself all beered up and exact some Andean justice with your fists and feet. Guys, girls, little kids, old drunk men in high-waisted pants; everybody in town fights at Takanakuy.
This year we decided to forego the annual family snoozefest and head into the mountains of Peru to test our mettle against the some of the hardiest people from one of the harshest environments in the Americas. We hope you like it, since it broke our mothers' hearts.

“He owns a pet eagle, has two girlfriends, and rides a motorcycle”
Damn that dude really be living his life💀
That's cuz he maxed out his man stats
Basically a chad
I wanna be his friend....
maxing Charisma be like
For Americans would be a Lad, but in Peru is a normal Chad person.
Even though this guy can’t fight for shit. I like his courage.
I guess he followed the yellow brick road
I hope he got paid a shitload
Fighting in public is just a frightening as speaking in public
What courage? It was staged lol
Embarrassment to Gringos everywhere. Nerd.
A story for The grandchildren.. The time you went to The andes and had a fistfight while the whole town was cheering you on. This was awesome and you are a badass
Thanks to technology now, you could show them what happened in 1080p
He’s not a badass he just had a fun time. Not everything people do has to be badass
@@crywlf9103 this IS pretty badass tho?
@@DROUVAcualquiera en Perú lo ubiera hecho
"Once you've taken a few punches and realise you're not made of glass, you don't feel alive unless you're pushing yourself as far as you can go."
thought about this quote after the reporter finished his fight, mans Brave.
This is exactly how i imagined a guy from Vice would fight.
Rasmustheforest says the guy in a beret lmfao
@@SS-lm8fv or a six pence / paper boy cap, but close enough i guess. Was that a putdown?, if you want my come back you're gonna have to ask your father to go against my demands, and spit it back out.
I was embarrassed for the gringos til reality came back and I realized he works for vice. Hahahaha
When he said that his last fight was wayback from middle school. I knew it.
I fight like that and I don't work for VICE
Supzriseeeee b ayyy chh! 😆
respect for his fighter for being easy on him. he knew he could've sent him back to his fathers balls
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
😅😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Well done dude! Takes a lot of courage to wait to fight, and then fight in public. Glad you got off lightly. 🙏🏽
It was nice that they went easy on him lol
Reporters and journalists are the real deal. They're out here uncovering the truth, exposing lies and corruption and showing the rest of us parts of the world that we would have never been able to see otherwise in the most genuine way. Shout out to the reporter and everyone else involved with this video and shout out to Peru! Love your long-standing traditions and culture
this video was 10 years ago. not so sure about the "exposing lies and corruption" part
Yes, some of us may laugh at him because he doesn't know how to hit someone, but we should commend his bravery and the respect he has shown towards their tradition. Bravo!
As a chilean from the north...I know how good fighters bolivians and peruvians are because of this kind of tradition, and I would never join this fights
I don't think he joined out of respect. He didn't really seem to respect the tradition, just likes a spectacle and to feel important.
@@bjaapi that's something I can respect
@@BRobMorris yeah that could be true. Still, I won't discredit the guy. He clearly is clueless when it comes to fighting and he still went there. That's enough to gain a man's respect.
@@serkg4672 yeah I'll give you that
The fact that they embraced him and really gave him a part of there culture by socializing him and including him is a experience you cant forget or regret nice vice !
They have no hat because they have no confidence problems thats what fighting brings I wish more country's allowed fair controlled fights
That's why in a sense even if you lose you don't lose because you're the first one offered a drink and a pat on the back
They didn't see skin color, they saw another one of their own that wanted to get drunk and have fun
@@KK-bt6nc unfortunately the same doesn't happen if they visited
He'll never forget that ass whoopin. #tookthel #betterlucknextime
The good old days when Vice was great, original, and interesting.
I love the community aspect of this tradition. Its amazing to see the entire area come together to resolve its differences through a festival of brawls and booze while staying connected to its past. There's something very pure and wholesome about it.
"He owns a pet eagle, has two girlfriends and rides a motorcycle" damn.
I'm pretty jelly right now.
MrBumperlover 😂
“And is talled than me” 😂
He never had a chance!
MrBumperlover big time jelly
“Has a pet eagle, has two girlfriends, and rides a motorcycle” he also won a fight to an American Gringo. That guy must be cool to his neighbors 🤣
My new bucket list.
Pet Eagle, multiple spouses, motorcycle? With that victory he should just fuckin' be an honorary American.
Lmfaooo life
Don’t forget the long hair
that guy didn't even try to hit that gringo
this makes me so happy to see so much love for my culture in these comments, and this was such a well put together documentary, I'd love to see a revisit sometime soon. Arriba Peru!
Beautiful Peru, love from México 🇲🇽 I’d love to visit there someday
Wait that ain’t native
@@dizzydub8446 huh
@dizzydub8446 what u say homeboy
I don’t know wouldn’t recognizing the fact that you’re an awful person going out to make things right be better to smooth over disputes rather than some flailing fists that lasts for no more than 2 mins
17:47 mad respect for this MAN, knowing what he could do to the reporter, but only doing enough so that the reporter could get a taste of what it was like, without treating him like he was a joke. OG
Dont be naive, he was paid not to wreck the guy lol
@@Mario7p lol. Maybe. He still could have done more to him.
Still respect for a fighter who wouldn't find any glory in smashing the helpless. That was my point.
I agree. He knew that dude was not skilled and let him work.
Besides the eagle and two GFs thing, dude was also sporting long hair and a shining pink shirt during a bare knuckle tournament - without being sarcastic, dude is a giga chad.
He sexy
My man was terrified had no clue how to fight and still stood up and went in there!!!! Respect 🙌
Yep....a lotta people making fun of him...but he really got balls
I dont think he did that bad. Also, I dont think there were any professionals there.
Absolutely, takes a lot of guts to lace up and fight. Good on him, really lost himself in the culture at the same time, too
and exhaustion from the hight probably
favorite vice reporter, maybe a tie with that one dude tripping acid at the monster truck show
I love Peru, out of the 27 countries I visited, Peru is my favorite. Nothing beats the incredible culture there!!
LOL and I am the king of Siam !
I would LOVE to take my evil stepmother there ,take a few shots and then beat the crap out of that witch..Life would be great..
Except for the people I guess 💀
@@jackcutter2 what is wrong with the people?You vae no idea what you are talking about
your comment win a cebiche with sweet potato and canch.
Im mexican. Me and my father love watching these festival videos. We even talk about one day going and participating in one.
Dude he fought even though he never has. He has my respect
Keep in mind, I am sure he had a few pillow fights with someone who spent the night. and that would be great practice. No!!! wait, they were throwing blows Bro. in them there hill. Mexican style. and remember thay people there could not afford boxing glove, so they just went bare nuckles. ayiyai!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Johnny Yang Alright then, lets get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS, Hey Johnnny Yang they can throw in there some KUNG FU!!!!!!!!
@Johnny Yang Which martial art are you an expert on?
The way this Gringo fought there is no respect to give, but only these Words: ARE YOU SERIOUS????? DUDE. you are a girly dude.
My family must be of Peruvian lineage. We only fight on Christmas too.
lmao
lol
lol
RC lmao 😂😂😂
RC - lol who's doesn't
This guy has always been my favorite journalist on vice. Very impressed that u got in the ring and celebrated the culture when most others would be scared
YESSSS ‼️he did GREAT & he's got heart 💪🏼😩💚
This is beautiful. As a Peruvian myself now I understand that my country has so much to offer and discover outside Lima. Thanks Vice for showing me my roots and culture, I hope I’ll visit them someday.
"I haven't done any training for this. I don't think my opponent has either, but I'm pretty sure his life is training." 🤣🤣🤣
jajaja
💀
YAYAYAYA
I see you bro 😂
😂😂😂
A drunk town hidden in mountains with dance, music and fighting? This was fucking beautiful.
TheFileRaider You can find that in Ireland too
Hank Williams lll playin in the background
An Irishman's heaven.
LMFAO
👍
9:09 that firework fight with the neighbors was hilarious scene, such a good video they really took you in as one of there own, well done.
I saw this documentary years ago yet still amazes me until today. I wish we also have this kind of tradition here in the Philippines!!!
You can fight someone that you hate fairly then after the fight both of you were still friends.
So it’s “The Purge” without weapons. Now I know where I’m bringing my mother-in-law on vacation.
Haha" hey have you told your mom were attending takanawua this year!!!ALL OF US!!!
Lol
“ hey so I checked it out on RUclips and there is a beautiful parade in Peru that I think your mother would love.”
Ends up whooping my ass lol
@@marshallmatters69 haha mother in law ends up unleashing built up anger from over 20 years lmao!!
Realistic Optimist I laughed so hard at your comment! But you have to go at Xmas though!!👍🏼😂😂😭😵
Props to the gringo getting in there and fighting. That takes a lot of courage. Even though he fought like he didn't play outside as a kid and that his favorite sport is jacks.
Gringo is racist.
@@enniopaone no its not
Gringo? He is jewish, not white. Cant you tell? He is short, skinny and weak.
WHO FUCKING CARES IF IT'S RACIST?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful native culture ❤️💯🙌🏽
it's a beautiful way of solving conflicts. starts and ends with a hug is totally 10000% awesome.
Can we appreciate the fact that this reporter did not spend his time to celebrate Christmas with his family...
Thumbs up for this Reporter
Jewish?
AND Vice fired him a couple years back too.
Infinity wait seriously???
@@Joseph-kh8um Yup. Google Thomas Morton. I dunno the reason though. He mentioned it on His Twitter.
His nose says he doesn’t celebrate Christmas. This is his Yom Kippur.
This guy is my favourite reporter. He reports on someone's culture and way of living but also respects it at the same time.
Watch his prom episode it was amazing
i also love how he takes part in it and embraces the differences.
@@npierce14 what is it called?

also the other gurl izuel something shes from vice andbritish
My Boxing Day tradition is watching this video again. Always worth the re-watch. Thanks, VICE, for the best 20 minutes of my year.
At least I'm not the only one who watches this annually.
@@gregorybower2759 yesss!
It’s Boxing Day, and here I am again to watching this for maybe the 10th time. Happy Takanukuy everyone!
i hate violence it disgusts me, but this is oddly heartwarming it represents humans getting over it the most natural way
Christmas in USA: "Man socks? Ugh...thanks grandma..."
Christmas in the Andes: " *O P E N T H E F U C K I N G P I T* "
Grandma: *Every man for himself my motherfuckin grandsons*
lone star lol who the fuck says love tunnel. Quarantine got these motherfuckers thirsty
😅
😆true!
Lolol
"I had to put together an outfit that wouldn't mark me as a total gringo"
Outfit literally has a huge G on it.
"He owns a pet eagle, has two girlfriends, and rides a motorcycle... he's also taller than me, and has long hair."
Bro is comically superior
Peru is amazing. I love it there.
This is basically a slightly less murderous purge.
Thought the same shit, guess it's not much of a fake story
@@chimeraproject9481 facts is stranger than fiction
It was the purge alright when they beat up the boss and land owners. hha
Si webon, se copiaron de nuestras tradiciones 🇵🇪
@@pieroalvarado4311 hahaha
As soon as one of them learns a straight jab, hell be a national hero!
Must be some kind of restriction on the kinds of punches you can use. They mostly look like you can just kinda windmill your arm. I was waiting for someone to get blasted with a random hook eventually.
JustACrabGaming most people don’t think straights work for some reason. Street fights and all that, you’ll almost never see a straight so that’s probably why.
L mao
I think its harder to throw a straight bareknuckled then with gloves on. Bareknuckled boxers rarely throw straights to the face too.
Elijah Hugo M Guntingan on the contrary it’s easier on your elbows
I am from Peru and it is awesome seeing Thomas out there other than the capital Lima. Love his humor and his thoughts on Peruvian traditions, dude is hilarious! Props to him for actually fighting too :D
That was extremely graceful for such a young guy to have mercy and really let you try and get some in, especially after he just got the worst of his last fight...
We should do this in America every 4 years during election season.
I whould pay for that lol
I second this motion. Seeing no disapproval, fighting will commence every four years on the white house lawn
Doesn't this happen evey election.
All the trump supporters would’ve been on ASS 😂😂
Naw . Ppl will brings guns and partake in mass shootings.
“So... this is the guy I’m fighting, he has two girlfriends, a pet eagle and rides a motorcycle” hahaha
sounds very American
@@sierraacharlie sounds pretty peruvian
Still kicks his assss
@@canofsouls282 sounds very American
@@Darknesss2132 He wasn't fat and arrogant so not American
Peruvian culture is beautiful, bad ass people with warrior bloob in their veins, true legends.
This is a fantastic tradition. I love it! Would be nice if other countries also did something similar to this.
@@J.G.Wentworth69420 That’s not very nice. I think it’s better method than the standard court system.
This is a village not a country. If you’d listen you’d hear that the rest of Peru don’t do this.
Town*
Would be fun to watch Putin fist fight with Zelensky
@@mtbman5407 My money’s on Putin. Zel wouldn’t stand a chance.
Every town needs this...I'm tired of my neighbor not trimming his fence line. He is gonna catch some hands
Bgb
Lol @ catch some hands
Best comment! 😂😂😂😂
Lmao how funny
LoL
As a peruvian is refreshing to see an american engage in our customs, mostly they just come and "see" but he wasn't just an observant. He fought with honor and even tought he lost, he lost well.
Sure he's Irish, rather than American.
@@RobHug01 well that explains 🤣
Lol don’t think he will go back
He did!
@@RobHug01 no hes american
Seen this video like 10 years ago, and it pops out every year, still fun to watch.
Dude was like “y am I fighting this white nerd?”
😂😂😂😂😂
Ryan slave owner killer as well fam ✊🏿
😂😂
Making America look bad
Lol
Big ups to this guy for even trying. Much respect.
I guess Im 13 ill love to be there ill kick ass. Not gonna lie
Also big ups for the other dude that he was fighting against for recognizing the situation and not just fucking his shit up. I was for real legit worried for that dude
Seriously though, he gets my respect for putting himself in that ring and actually going at it. He was shaking afterward too when he went for that drink lol. I haven't fought since my freshman year of high school and I'm 31 now so I'd be a bit nervous to go fight someone at this point too haha.
@@bjamiork thats crazy dude.. Literally the last fist fight i was ever in was in the summer before 10th grade.. Got my ass kicked by a dude and his boy that each had 100lbs on me easy. Now Im 32, and I'm wondering if i could hold my own in this massive Peruvian fight club.. Might have to go some day and find out. (Doubt it)
Huapango it's just a fight.
The fight at then end was worth every second of this watch.
Much love to the people from Peru and their traditions. Now thats entertainment what a way to let anger out and forget grudges after. I feel like most beefs can be solved with a simple fight after that move on. Salu2 de un Mexicano
The US needs this. No guns, no knives just good ole ass whoopins

@@user-cz1yg9tp5o Ears chewing time!!!
He might get his ass beat if he fights someone with skill whos adapted to the altitude
Genocide
I was impressed by this reporters spirit to join in the festivities and the fighting as well. It shows true courage to go to another country with another language and culture and get into hand to hand combat in order to fully understand the people.
Although I’m sure both fighters could have done more damage they had a good time and still got a few hits in which in the end there’s nothing better than making a friend out of a fight.
Mad respect!
Indigenous people are so beautiful . Their look is so puré .
He went all the way up there to get his ass kicked
The guy he fought was quite polite didn't really hit him
Noob fighter
But he went.
CANT SAY THAT WHITE BOY AIN'T GOT NUTT'S . BUT THEY MIGHT B THE WRONG KIND.🤕😂
@@CastleVaniak I kinda feel bad for the guy he's just not experienced
As a Peruvian, I'm really enjoying this comment section bc it's mainly full of foreigners who welcome our tradition with positivity and non harmful jokes. On the contrary, if the comments were made by ppl from here, Perú, this section would be flooding with racism and hate, sadly.
What Mr. Laime says at 2:24 is completely true.
Bro fighting at Takanakuy is now my new life mission. See you in a couple of years.
No te preocupes wey, entodos lados hay racistas, los mexicanos lo sabemos mejor que nadie
What's up with the whole dressing like slave masters set up? 🤔 I need answers
Vamos Perú
@@captain711 it was a way of making fun of the whites, you will find in many peruvian dances the clothes and masks are a mocking of how the whites dressed
Nothing but love for this tradition. Journalist is a good one
You know, this actually looks like something fun. I'd definitely want to participate in this one day if I ever get the chance to.
"a bit of car sickness and a sore ass, however, seemed a small price to pay to get to see an entire town fight itself".
Rohman Ashari 😂
Lmfao he looks like that's not the first time he has had a sore ass
Ya a small price to pay to get your AAAAAAAAAAAssssssss Kick
Haha when he said that I laughed way to hard
nah, that will ruin the spirit. that will make it a sport. it's not meant for that. leave them the way they are. they look happier that way.

Imma test my trickshotting skills ma!
Peruvian here. Not all of Peru celebrates christmas like this. Even among the andes, different communities celebrate it differently. That also means that you get exposed to a never ending set of new experiences, food and culture. Come visit anytime of the year, Perú is an amazing place!
First discover this from Vice news, now i getting more interested with this culture. God bless Peru, greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩 ❤️😊
come to peru my friend lots of food to taste

Their way is a just way for their own governing of the people. It is refreshing to see that somewhere in the world all come together and celebrate all as family. If I was to travel outside the states I would want to go there.
Shout out to all my Peruvian peoples from all cultures and walks of life, keep your traditions going.

I actually really like the concept of this. it's just natural to fight really isn't it. But fighting without shaking hands and hugging afterwards leaves you feeling more hurt than before. If you win you feel bad if you lose you feel bad.
A true warrior doesn't hug the enemy, and has no emotions in combat.
@@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate try not shaking hands with someone that does jiu jitsu
@@sophisticatedluna6503 im just saying a true warrior doesn't feel anything when killing the enemy.
I’m not sure how natural it is.. a form of wrestling maybe, as a skilful way to overpower an opponent, without the need to inflict serious pain.
We’ve lost the awareness that we are One, and what hurts another only truly hurts the self 🤔
In my opinion, any culture that is open to a complete outsider (both in language and skin color), is an A+ group of people.
They welcomed this pasty reporter into their homes and into their unique ways of life. This community was built on defiance from outside control, and their welcomeness just speaks to the beauty of these people.
He was pretty much alone, show up in a group of a dozen or more as the gringo and you'd probably not have such a warm welcome.
People forget how damn high the elevation is there. That's why he was so out of breath after a few seconds of adrenaline 😂
@@Gabriel-px8cv but breathing at that altitude when having lived your entire life so much lower legitimately affects one's breathing, it's quite difficult.
@@Gabriel-px8cv it was pry a mix of both
@@Gabriel-px8cv elevation has a much bigger 3ffect than no skill. Look at Cain Velasquez from the UFC that's where sea level Cain came from he gassed out due to elevation even though being born in Mexico at high elevation. Yes untrained people gas out in under 2m8ns on a heavy bag, try that at 9000ft elevation Goodluck getting 1 min.
Climitisation and decent training wins.
so, they should still use technique sheesh
“At least they got to see a Gringo lose” this dude is too cool. I’d welcome to the Native American community to see what he thinks about our culture.

respeezy until they suprise you and you get KO
respeezy bitch you ain’t going full mma fighter when you are 3 days balls deep drunk and wasted, obviously this guys are fucked up and have no real fighting school, and this fights are friendly and made for peace, maybe you fight because people bullied your ass at school but don’t bring that drama here
Wamy Ram is not as easy as he painted it to be for is not a fight to hurt but to relieve the pent up anger the point of the fight is never to hurt them or kill which is what most actual martial art do teach how to hurt your opponent as fast as possible that way none would want to fight that's why there's no kick to the face or grappling unless the other hand is used to punch

Christmas. fighting. dancing. getting drunk. wearing crazy masks. I'm in
+ronindog sounds like my typical family reunions
Take me with you
It's no different here in Ireland at Christmas nothing like a good scrap to bring us all together.
Great story by a great story teller. Thank you!
"The lead up to to the fight is a week of *drinking* and dancing".
Exactly👌
This guy is more brave, than most of you comment warriors.
Got that right
Ikr :v
Given real situations most of these fuckers would back down
Ya right, even braver then you with your Pillow fights.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah whatever guys. I’m 49 and spar harder than this every week. Kudos to those who participate though, looks like a great celebration. Bit of biff and a few brews after. No harm, no foul.
You Goddamn right
This looks like the coolest way ever to celebrate Christmas.
When they are all dancing it really made me happy
I appreciate the fact that he tries to immerse himself as best as he can when visiting these other countries and experiencing their cultures. By far one of my favorite vice reporters.
last Christmas I saw my sisters fight just like that. didn't know we had Peruvian blood

Classic, were they drunk though?
