Does a video watermarked "ZXHK EDITX" authentically show a fight involving multiple adolescents? No, that's not true: A 2025 post recycled old footage. It was originally published by an account of a French stunt school.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) on X where it was published on May 1, 2025. It opened:
They didn't expect this.
The entry included a video with the following inscription:
ZXHK EDITX.

The post implied that the 25-second clip that appeared to show a fight captured a real-life scene.
The video originated (archived here) from the Campus Univers Cascades account on Instagram where it was published on September 15, 2024, under the caption that incorporated the word "cinema".
That account's description (archived here) reads:
🇲🇫 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺
Stuntmen | Fighters | Performers
The company's website (archived here) further clarifies that it is:
a professional training center dedicated to stunt techniques in cinema and entertainment.
