“Jesus Taught Me” is a notorious video of a fight posted to YouTube.
Edited version here:
Full versions still around via search.
The video was posted by gay rights activist Bobby Joe Blythe (c.1946), a former marine, karate instructor living in Hanford, California. Blythe’s narration suggests the video was shot on 13 December 1984 and is believed to have been filmed at his karate dojo in Dumfries, Virginia. The video depicts one of Blythe’s then students assaulting an unidentified man, beating him unconscious, and stomping on the man’s head. The victim could clearly be heard stating that he did not want to fight. In the description of the video, Blythe claimed that the victim was then dragged out the back and left in a dumpster.
YouTube removed “Jesus Taught Me”, citing its extreme content, but the video has since reappeared on several web sites. In many cases, the descriptions accompanying the video allege that the victim was mentally challenged, because his claims of having been taught by Jesus.
The victims whereabouts following the incident remain unknown. Some online commentators have interpreted comments posted by Blythe in text accompanying the “Jesus Saved Me” video as meaning that the victim had died, but a retired police detective stated that the victim was seen a few days after the incident limping but declined to pursue charges.

My comment:
At first, when I found out about this meme, I was outraged. The video was shot in 1984 and went viral on the net in 2009. By saying that Jesus taught him, he earned the media label of “mentally-challenged”. But then I had this thought……
Jesus really DID teach this man. Little did anybody know that a man of unknown origin would walk into a karate dojo in 1984 only to have his actions and demeanor filmed along with all the dojo participants that day. Little did anybody know that the video would go viral on the internet 25 years later. Little did anybody know that this man would publicly expose the character and hearts of men that involve themselves in martial arts and stir up at least 128 pages of discussion about the topic to be viewed by the world. I firmly believe that there is a spiritual component to karate, tai-chi, yoga, and other such practices.
Twenty-eight years later, the identity of KFG is still not known. Nor is it known whether the man is dead or alive. But I would say that he did accomplish his mission.
Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Mat 25: 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
