Unbothered by the man’s unsettling presence, Ameerah, with headphones on, continued practicing her high kicks—a challenging and essential move in Thai combat sports—when the man suddenly took the liberty of kicking the bag she was using.
After a few seconds, the man decided to completely take over the bag, throwing awkward punches and kicks that painfully landed with his ankles—a clear sign of inexperience. In contrast, Ameerah’s precise, practiced moves indicated she was well-versed in the discipline.
At one point, the video captured the bizarre gym-goer walking away, only to return and take over Ameerah’s bag once more. Visibly frustrated by his rude behavior, Ameerah turned to her camera and switched it off.

The video sparked outrage, as a TikTok user commented: “Every day men wake up… so heartbreaking.”
A person wrote: “It’s giving small w*lly x.”
Someone else penned: “Can a guy please translate the thought process in here? I’m truly really lost.”
“How old is this baby boy?” a netizen asked.
A commentator noted: “Notice that the men around him feel uncomfortable but say nothing.”

A cybernaut questioned: “I don’t understand. Was he trying to flirt? Show off? Was he mad? I truly am lost on his entire existence.”
An observer quipped: “Do you think he takes weights out of people’s hands and starts lifting them.”
An onlooker added: “It’s the disrespect that gets me like you just know they wouldn’t treat another man the same way.”

The backlash continued to grow on social media, as an Instagram user mentioned: “I’m 10000% irritated on your behalf, what a clown boy.”
A participant pointed out: “Dude was trash for acting like this!! Incredible job brushing it off!!!”
“I genuinely cannot tell if that guy has special needs and a physical disability, or what,” a critic pondered. “Is he suffering from muscular dystrophy, ataxia, Parkinsonism? …or is he an able-bodied man who is really just that bad at moving and reading the room?”
Other pro fighters weighed in on the matter, with UFC fighter Alice Ardelean showing her support

Joey Swoll, known for his commentary on poor behavior at the gym, said in a video viewed over 1 million times on TikTok that the incident was “absolutely ridiculous.”
He exclaimed: “I don’t know if he’s trying to be funny or get a reaction out of her, but you don’t just work in and take someone’s bag without asking.
“And I guarantee he wouldn’t do this to another man. So to this woman Ameerah, I’m sorry that happened to you.”

“Keep up the hard work, but to that man, leave her alone and let her work out, you need to do better, mind your own business.”
As it turns out, Ameerah happens to be an experienced fighter, as per her Instagram page. Back in July, she stepped into the octagon and is presumed to have won an amateur fight.

It's truly amazing that women refrain from stabbing men to death on a regular basis.
