thug 

A person, usually a man, who has taken to a life of violent crime. Usually raised in a hostile, deprived environment. They could be hanging with gangs on street corners. They differ from gangsters in the respect that hey are not into organising crime. A thug could graduate into a gangster and may work for one, while still doing spontaneous muggings or dealing.
When in gangs they can be proprietary about their turf.

NOUN: 1. a ghetto dweller or hip hop aficiando who enjoys martial arts. 2. an urbanite who plays an unnatural amount of Tekken, listens to Wu-Tang and mixes his breakdance moves with martial arts. 3. A Wu-Tang Clan lover

Anthony was a total karate thug, playing Tekken Tag then doing that cheesy crane kick from "Karate Kid" in the driveway with Pookie and them from up the street.
