Hi mike

Mike, video suggestion! Do a deep dive into BREAK-FALLS. I have always been skeptical of the "Slap the mat to disburse your energy" thing. I get that it's important to NOT break your fall with your hands, because a broken arm or wrist is worse than a broken rib in a fight, but it always made more sense to me to simply tuck my arms in in a sort-of fighting stance to keep a guard up and protect my arms at the same time.

I fn love mindsmash vids lol that was great

Man...even Brock Lesnar or guys like this would be mauled like a shit by a grizzly or a lion. One hit and you are fucking out plus claws, fucking jaws etc...

Yep, I haven't been in any sort of fight as an adult because I got really good at not being in a position where it was called for. That being said, I do think that a lot of it does come down to expectations on the outcome and whom it is that you're fighting. One of my big beliefs is that if you can get out of a fight, you should always take that option. If you're not up against a wall, physical or psychologically speaking, you're not going to be as strong as you could be. When I was a kid, I'd generally win the fights because I didn't have a choice in having the fight and they weren't trained fighters. As an adult, I have more options than I did as a kid, and the likelihood of the other party having training or hardware is a lot higher.

that is good info, friend...what kind of prison did you work in?

Id add that the person that lands a solid punch first has pretty much won.

Martial arts masters and gun owners have the same mentality. "I have this incase something terrible happens and it's not the end of me. But I hope I never have to use it." Most martial artists who have trained a long time, and responsible gun owners have enough knowledge and discipline to avoid confrontation. It's a sobering reality for a martial artist to know intimately well how badly they can hurt or even possibly kill someone.

Very few times are long comments on YT worth reading. This is one of those rare moments.

@@alexanderrahl7034 Please forgive me, but I feel the need to correct you: _Mature_ and _wise_ Martial Artists and Gun Owners never want to. Many young "Primitive Minded Alpha Males" glorify it.

@@Jonathan-A.C. But it's also an unverifiable scenario. We don't know how hierarchical and dominance oriented humans are before we invented complex societies. It is wrong to outright say that humans would fight each other for dominance within groups, because its conjecture, and its also unlikely. We can't go back and directly view ancient humans to determine what groups would really look like. Our two closest related ancestors are Chimps and Bonobos who are diametrically opposite when it comes to this scenario. Bonobos are incredibly peaceful, live in matriarchal groups, and practice open "free love" sex. Chimps on the other hand are incredibly violent, patriarchal, and highly dominance based. We can't know what ancient human groups were like, and our closest related relatives are vastly different to each other.

He was in Lake Elsinore last I heard of him and was helping train Mike Tyson’s son. I’d say go for it man, Muay Thai is humbling. You’ll get swept by smaller more experienced guys and girls but in the end it’s all worth it. You learn how to utilize all your limbs, learn how to stay composed in the clinch, trips/sweeps. Overall I may be a bit biased but it’s a great all around discipline to learn. The confidence you gain after dedicating yourself for some time is awesome

@@bakedcrystal915 I might add, if you know boxing and pick up muay thai, try to get some ground game too. It's generally a bad idea to go to the ground in a street fight as the dude's buddies will have an easy time stomping your head, but wrestling and bjj round out striking well and can help prevent you from being taken down. Judo footwork is good for that too. One of the most obscure but solid non combat practices but combat effective techniques I ever ended up engaged in was to kick a soccer ball against a corner wall at various distances, aiming for weird angles. Basically horizontal foot dribbling. If you can find a buddy to do it with even better. Somehow it translates incredibly well to footsweeps and ankle picks, judo style.

It happens in high level MMA too. UFC 263 on the early prelims, pro kickboxer Fares Ziam was clearly leaps and bounds the better striker than Luigi Vendramini. Luigi comes out in the 3rd round clearly behind with nothing to lose and blitzes him - very nearly gets the knockout. Same thing happened in the 5th with Nate Diaz vs Leon Edwards. Fighting is way too risky. You might win 9 out of 10 tens against someone untrained, but that tenth time you get stabbed or stomped out.

Elaborate a little bit lol i train boxing now , almost a little over a year. Didnt quite get what you were saying.

Theres no such thing as certainty in a fight. I laugh at anyone who says they can beat 10/10 avg people in a fight. It only takes one moment of someone doing something so stupid u never saw it coming for you to get hurt.

And that's in an environment designed to make sure skill is the decider as much as possible. In the real world there are uneven surfaces, things to trip over, sun to get in your eyes at the wrong moment, etc.

My philosophy is: Too many shows and things teach people about what to do when they get lost in the woods. Not enough teach people about how to not get lost in the woods in the first place. Learning martial arts and all is good for both health, competitive, and self-defense purposes, but there are reasons why they say that martial arts should always be the absolute LAST line of defense, and never any earlier than that. No matter how good you are, the enemy/opponent only needs to get lucky once.

I agree! In a way getting better humbles most people to not underestimate others. And as an added positive of expecting the worst; You might not get caught off guard by somebody pulling clinch, getting full mount or sending a kick when you're out of range of punches.

This right here! I think that's the right mindset to have. Always assume your opponent is faster, stronger, and more technical than you. Always strive to improve yourself. And if that day ever comes where you are put in a self defense situation, you will probably be able to protect yourself and your loved ones just fine.

I've seen so many people bluff or get lucky in a fight or match that I long ago gave up on the idea of skill as a sure thing. It's great to have but it's not a cheat code.

As far as I am in, there are key skills that guarantee you will win more fights, and a crapton of skills that may help you or not. Key skills I listed are : - knife blocks - quick knock-out punch - kicks/knees to the groin - basic armbreak locks You can apply those four sequentially against one or more opponents and win most fights. First block, then disturb, then disable. Rinse and repeat. Distance mastery is mandatory. Doesn't apply to sports for obvious reasons.

Great intro but I highly disagree with Emerson. Not just on that one quote mind you, I think Emerson in general is a philosopher I rarely agree with. But the idea that the love of testing one's self against an opponent is primitive, or childish, is an incredibly narrow minded view. How on par for Emerson.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 I don't think he said that testing oneself(as in a sport) is primitive, but the constant urge to show that you are a superior fighter is quite primitive... Physical superiority is rarely useful these days Just my humble opinion

@@jayaphukan07 well let's break apart the quote. "It is the ignorant and childish part of mankind that is the fighting part. Idle and vacant minds want excitement." So right off the bat we can see he doesnt discuss the frequency of combat, nor does he disparage fighting as a sign of insecurity. Rather, he calls the desire to fight ignorant and childish. He further clarifies that the desire for combat is fueled by an idle and vacant mind. Meaning either a lazy or an uneducated mind. Yet those of us who do fight know that combat sports are some of the most mentally intensive endeavours you can take on. Its like a game of chess, only faster and with less room for error. I adore combat because I revel in the opportunity to test myself, as I said, and the bible articulates this point very well, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." - proverbs 27:17 Emerson is insinuating that the fighter does not preoccupy himself with the philosophy or mentally intensive aspects of combat. He sees fighting as a brawl between two bored children. And that could not be further from the truth. But that was always Emerson's flaw as a philosopher. He sees things from his perspective, rather than trying to understand the perspective of those who engage in whatever topic it is he wants to pontificate on.

@@jayaphukan07 I do think emerson was most likely discussing this from the perspective of two guys brawling in the street, rather than in a war, combat sport, or defending the honor of another. But that's literally why I dont like emerson. Because he looks at one very narrow perspective, then creates a blanket statement that he can wrap over every aspect of that one philosophical concept. Its like a child hating brocolli so he writes a thesis on why all vegetables are disgusting and horrid to mankind, nevermind the countless people who are happier and more satisfied being vegans.

It's okay, life isn't always about beating things up.

It's people like this guy that kill confidence in men who just simply need to know they still can fight to either protect themselves or their loved ones. The moment you doubt yourself in front of an attacker is the moment you lost, so it's a thumbs down for this video from me if he thinks all people who think they can fight are just looking for a fight for no reason. I had to leave training martial arts because you can't have the time for ALL the things you'd like to do in life and at the time I was confident what I learned was enough for the streets, in case I ever had to fight some douche that couldn't be persuaded otherwise. It's been a while since last I've been to a gym, though, but I like to hone my technique from time to time, when I feel like it, so that muscle memory can get some dusting off because I might soon need to be sure of my own movement.

Couple of years ago I had to deal with a guy younger and even bigger than me (and I'm big), a typical camper/brawler who was used to fighting and not losing......he had the chance to just leave but dumb as he was he took the swing at me and then I proceeded to beat him to pulp, not taking any risk.....and pulp he was, off to the hospital. I was like hmmmm approaching 50 but I still got it. 🤣 Never did any martial arts, not necessary. Experienced fighters tend to overestimate themselves waaaay too much. This list I can win against an elephant or a gorilla......funny, very funny. 🤣

There's a reason for that, over the long term even the best fighter will lose.

To me it's similar but different. When I was young and untrained I was always fighting in the street, and losing something like 40% of the time. And ever since I started training MMA I haven't fought anyone except once in basic training. Unless you count sparring in which case I still lose quite a bit lol but nothing like before

I have never been in a real fight in my entire life, just pushing and shoving stuff. I was in the martial arts my last 2 years of high school, and then on and off through my 20's. Then when I was 50, I wanted to try some sort of sparring again, while my body still had some physical ability left, but didn't want to have to start over as a white belt again. I always liked to watch boxing, so I found an old school boxing gym nearby (not a cardio kickboxing thing with a bunch of young girls, but the real thing). Anyway, I started training there, and we quite often sparred during class. We would spread out across the floor and pair up with someone, switching partners after each 3 minutes. Even though the style and rules were different from karate, and I hadn't sparred in over 20 years, I was able to hold my own with guys half my age. Muscle memory, and the knowledge of how to keep or close the distance was still in my brain. I fought a little differently from most the guys. Instead of just bobbing and weaving, or just absorbing punches on your arms (instead of your face), I used some martial arts blocking techniques to deflect some punches. I wasn't skilled at pure boxing techniques, and I would get nervous sometimes, so I would just tell myself, "You know how to fight, so just fight without thinking about it. Just react." Doing that, I did just fine, except that I had to "unlearn" a few things, like don't throw a spinning backfist (like I did a few times, but luckily stopped just in time before it connected). After the first month, because I was an "old man", when we sparred, the instructor would tell guys who hadn't sparred with me before, "Hey. Don't underestimate him!" That made me feel good.

Yeah I never saw it that way, maybe that's the difference between a kickboxer and a karate accompanist, you see it as drive, I see it as ability.

LOVE THAT, starter!

@@hafnium4358 im curious as to your perspective. I agree with the op. Is your statement a legit different perspective? If so I'd like to learn. Or is it just a pissing contest statement?

@@MadHeadzOz It sounds exactly like a pissing contest statement to me lol.

If that was true there wouldn't be weight classes.

@@redrick8900 weight classes exist within trained people. Physical strength is in most cases peaks within certain weight classes. There are exceptions some people have the ability to output more raw strength then their weight class. An untrained opponent is not going to have the pure strength or speed to back up his weight. Theres a difference between being 120kg of muscle and 120 kg of meatbag. A 70 kg person can manhandle the second but probably not the first. Weight classes only matter between people of relatively similar training. Its a marginal advantage that has to be considered in a competition environment but its not as big as people make it seem. An example is strikers if 2 strikers face off it has almost no impact in fact a larger person is just a larger target theres a reason striking only martial arts dont often see weight classes boxing happens to be an exception.

@@texascultdeity8904 Nope. Your average 220 pound man can beat the crap out of professional lightweights. Larger strikers have a huge advantage. They have reach and strength on their side.

@@texascultdeity8904 You can't beat any health man up. "the average 220 pound man cant pick up another 220 pound man." You have us confused with the weaker sex. We have upper body strength.

​@@redrick8900 i can and i have on multiple occasions. and theres no such thing as a weaker sex the difference is just the average woman trains less then the average man the line where muscle mass % actually matters is body building territory which isnt ideal body typing for fighters regardless. heres the thing most lesser trained fighters dont know how to utilise their weight they only throw 5-10% of their body mass into strikes and 30-40% of their mass into grounding themselves or proper grappling. if ur only utilising 5-10% of your weight against an opponent half ur weight thats properly utilising their waist hip shoulders and back muscles to make use of 20-40% of their mass then your weight difference does nothing mroe then somewhat compensate for your bad form or technique. and if u dont have proper technique your strikes are just slow and cumbersome and will probably not have reach. stuff like knowing how to plant your feet and how to utilise your waist is all about making more efficient use of your mass sure u theoretically have longer arms but if you dont twist your shoulders and hip properly or know how to dropstep then your reach is significantly reduced and weight does not mean shit for reach thats ur height. i am a little too tall to show the reach disparity 187 cm is my height. but if i purposefully use bad tecchnique my reach is going to shorter then someone of 160 cm utilising proper technique. the difference with kicks is even more massive proper technique will double your range

My first fight taught me a lot of things. 1) I'm actually pretty tough, I can take a lot of abuse and keep going. 2) I'm a dog shit fighter. I got dog walked by a dude in dress shorts, and bled all over my new Affliction shirt. It was a rough night, but I wouldn't trade that ass beating for anything because those 2 pieces of wisdom have paid dividends in my life, knowing I'm not made of glass and that I can handle adversity, and knowing anyone can get it, any time anywhere, from anyone. I stand by my belief that every human should be punched in the mouth at least once in their life. It changes your whole world view.

@@michag4337 LOL! "Dog Walked!"

no that .01% is why you carry a gun

a golden triangle? can we get a gnomon too?

A squared plus B squared equals C squared.

Anyone who can't remember how to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, given the lengths of the legs either grew up in an Amish community or is developmentally disabled. It is so incredibly simple.

@@tzaphkielconficturus7136 That's hysterical. The Amish are much more likely to know that than you. They build barns to survive.

i majorly suck at geometry, my lowest grades in school were all during geometry classes and its been over 10 years since i've finished highschool and I could still do geometry today. And given that I don't have to learn formulas by hearth and I can just google them, things become a loooooot easier His example with electric circuits is the same. I suck at physics , I don't even know how to interpret a drawing of an electric circuit, be it a board or a design for a house or device. But I still understand that if I put this cooper wire there, electricity will go thou it...

well, it’s better to know how to throw a punch properly than don’t know at all although when faced with a gun, there’s no choice but to just run

I was taught that the purpose of martial arts is avoiding physical altercations. Getting punched and punching hurts.

Pro tip that always worked for, when someone comes looking for trouble, I just look them in the eyes and go "Daniel?" or any other random name, and then ask them if they went to the same school/sport as me a few years back. If they do, instant defuse, if they don't, you just say they look A LOT like your known person and you thought they were them, sorry, and 9 outta 10 times that's that

Definitely best to keep your head down, then, but also carry.

"I'll get all the less primo cave babes"

Were we? Lol

@@hard2hurt I kinda was, it's good to know why.........everybody else but me can't fight. ;)

I could kill a gorilla with my bare hands. The trick is to fight them, when they are infants.

I’m impressed 😂

The childbirthinest women do be thick though

"Cave Babes"

Imagine every ufc match had already happened in cave age

Lol same

They didn't punch they fuckin clobbered each other using their arms like clubs

Yeah, just like that guy on the internet, he pretends he knows history and human evolution without any schooling whatsoever and makes a babbling video about how others don't know what they're talking about...

this even pops up in modern military conflicts where a lot of soldiers deliberately miss their enemy.

@@ravenof1985 Yeah, something like 70% or more, I think is what I heard.

Against our fundamental nature? In what way?

I think you're confusing cutting with slashing. Like, if you really cut someone in a deep way it's gonna be way worse than a stab (unless the stab is aimed at the heart or head, which would lead to death from either cutting and thrusting). Slashing on the other hand is the least lethal technique in sword fighting. It leads to a lot of blood but the wound itself isn't very very deep like it is from a cut or thrust. Anyways, sorry to bother you about this comment from a year ago. Have a great day :)

@@yoavjacoby8246 No, people like Musashi explicitly state that it is far more natural for a person to execute a cut than a stab. We also see this in afghan bladed weapons used against the British. A british doctor treating the wounded once said, that they would have experienced far greater casualties if the Afghan's had stabbed instead of cut with their blades. For whatever reason, however, they didn't. You're no bother to me.

so good haahha

I mean, there have been people who survived alligator and shark attacks by shoving their fingers into their eyes. Maybe that could work with a bear or moose if you're lucky enough to somehow get close enough without getting mauled before. Fending off an animal attack is a win in my book. If you want to go mano-a-mano for a death match, that's something different though.

@@angelsjoker8190 nah The bear would just strike you into two pieces and Mosses have big horns protecting their skull which even Tigers and Lions can't reach so it would be foolish for you to try It works with Sharks because they cannot swing an arm at you

@@therealslimshady6763 Yeah, that was the "If you're lucky to get close enough without getting mauled" part about 😅

@@angelsjoker8190 which is impossible

@@angelsjoker8190 with a gator on land you could jump on its back and hold its mouth closed and basically shove your fingers in its eyes all day... that would probably cause death, but in the water with a gator god that would suck

"onion have many layers"

Until a group of dudes pound on your head. Street fights are never fair and completely dangerous. Some dude recently was on the news for getting jumped at a bar and is in critical condition, he was also a bjj black belt and mma fighter. Which is best to avoid fights and only fight as a last resort.

@Spodo bbb don't worry there disrespectful asf you should even waste ur good time trying to explain why you like something to some idiot bro.

@Spodo bbb and mma is not end all be all fighting style u can research to find your own bc and the end of the day you should be enjoying yourself that's what makes fighters go all out (its to be fun after all).
