And juiced to the gills so he can feel like a man.. clearly the apple hasn't fallen far. His son was purposely trying to injure the other kid cause he was mad.
I played little league baseball one season(i was terrible). Two drunk couples fought each other in the bleachers in the second inning. That was interesting to watch from right field.
As a youth coach for over 15 years, the reason most youth quit sports is twofold: their misguided parents, and their misguided coaches. Youth sports are supposed to be about providing a safe and fun environment first, life lessons second, and athletic skills third. Kids play sports to be with their friends and enjoy what they are doing. Shame on the parents who need to live vicariously through their children, and shame on the "win-at-all-costs" coaches. These two factors are also why finding youth sports referees is becoming nearly impossible.
The ref speaking out and following through with the charges is helping keep all the refs safe. People need to know: If you assault a ref there are consequences.
As a father of a student of a combat sport, your role is support,guidance, and possibly the most important of all is setting the example of sportsmanship. Accepting the officials call, & accepting the result win or lose. Theres many lessons in losing, and experiencing a match against a tough competitor. This father robbed his son a valuable minutes that will mold him going forward. Respect to this ref! Good job
It’s loud in these places, of course he needed to get close and speak loud enough to be understood. The dad was out of control regardless of what happened. I’m sure he would’ve done the same thing if it was his son’s leg being twisted.
@@juliekennedy9891exactly, idk why people get so butthurt by that type of demeanor, I am that way in my personal life and people get so upset by that 💀
14:20 Lawyer here. Sheriff (or sheriff's deputy) saying they can't do anything if they didn't see it (the assault and battery) is complete nonsense. Think about it, are crimes investigable only if witnessed by police officers? Would they say the same thing about a burglary? A murder? An armed robbery? 17:50 Glad to hear the online response is overwhelmingly positive for the ref.
Yeah. It doesn't take a Lawyer to have our Bullshit-O-Meter Explode when hearing this absolutely ludicrous Statement! I mean... Anyone with a somewhat half-working Brain 🧠 will still be able to immediately see the *HUGE* flaw in the Officers' Logic _(or total lack thereof)_ here! But I still always appreciate the Input from a Professional; a Lawyer in this Case. Thanks a lot man!
Are you really a lawyer? This incident (in NY at least) would only qualify as a Harassment. Not an "assault and battery" because there was no injury. Which is a violation, not a crime and must therefore be in the presence of a law enforcement officer for arrest. Otherwise its a turnover arrest that must be made by the victim. I can't speak to the law in Carolina but that appears to be the situation that the Deputy explained. However I agree that the Sheriff's Deputy should have made greater effort for the turnover arrest while the guy was in town.
@@zod5966 Yes, I am. New York law differs from most jurisdictions concerning assault and battery. NY in fact doesn't technically have a battery law because it conflates battery with assault. North Carolina (where this incident occurred) follows the common law definitions of assault and battery. Also, injury to the victim is not an element of either charge in a simple assault and battery in North Carolina and most other jurisdictions.
I love everything about this official. Especially the fact that he joined you for an interview. I’m so glad we got to hear his perspective. I’ve been reffing for 10 years in Illinois. I started in high school, earned my beer money in college through reffing and eventually in my adult life. Fathers (and mothers) like this are far too common at kids tournaments. Obviously, not to the extent that this guy was. I always say the same thing to angry parents and coaches, if you don’t like my calls, you come and try to be the official. It’s not easy. You may see something that I don’t because of where I am on the mat. It’s wrestling. There’s scrambling, new wrestlers doing weird things with their bodies during the match which encourages me to call a potentially dangerous because they don’t know how to scramble. I’m thrilled that you pressed charges. Actions like this are completely unacceptable and there needs to be a consequence.
This feels corny to type out, but his response to being pushed was what a martial artist is. He didn't have to "do" anything to that father he could just kick him out and let authorities deal with it. That calm and mature restraint is admirable and why you train. He knew what the situation was and didn't loose his cool.
@@oprahsbullets6551you have no idea what american top team is 😭😭 IF HES A COACH HES TEACHING LITERAL CHAMPIONS IN UFC ONE CHAMPION PFL/BELLATOR 😂 just say u don’t know shi if u think that meatball could beat him
The "tough guy" didn't look so tough while getting arrested, but it was clear he was actually a coward the whole time, I mean, what kind of tough guy initiates a confrontation 1 vs 1 by surprise from behind?
The police: "Crime rates are down, and all that crime you're seeing is a lie." Also the police: "We're keeping our numbers down by not arresting or charging anybody."
LOL Ref is a D1 wrestler. That's awesome. It would have been awesome if he got up and absolutely handled the guy, but in the end we know it's better that he didn't. Good interview.
I’ve seen this type of comment on here several times. It’s pretty silly to think a former D1 wrestler who is in his fifties and out of shape is going to do anything against that dude. He has him by 50 lbs of muscle. Wrestling has weight classes for a reason. Also, what happens if you do pin him? Then what? Does he know any striking or submissions? You also assume psycho dad has no skill. He has his kid in youth wrestling so it’s a safe bet he has a background. In the end…mass matters…..a lot.
@@AlphanumericCharacters you're making a lot of assumptions yourself. You assume the dad has skill just because his son is in wrestling. Do all of the parents at the meet have wrestling backgrounds, then? Is that a "safe bet" too? You're also assuming the ref is out of shape. Why is that? He doesn't immediately look out of shape to me. He looks lean and limber. Does he know any submissions or striking? Your guess is as good as mine but it's obvious you're assuming he doesn't. Maybe there are reasons you've seen this same comment on here several times. Bodybuilder dad would have his work cut out for him. Mass matters a lot but so does skill.
@@Mongo966 all we know is that he was a D1 wrestler. You acting like that means he kicks the dad’s ass. Ref has a potbelly and weak looking shoulders. Hard to tell much more with the baggy shirt but he would be a lean 170-175 with that build. The strength differential is huge and makes all the difference. Reminds me of a debate I had with a karate black belt. He swore I would get my ass kicked by Rhonda Rousey in her prime. I have 80 lbs of muscle mass on her. My very mediocre fighting skills be damned. The only chance she would stand is because of my aversion to hurting a woman. Like I said, wrestlers don’t even stand much of a chance against dudes with more than ten pounds on them. Why you think they have so many weight classes? You have to be a smaller guy. It’s crazy to me how many smaller guys don’t understand the strength differential. Hell look at the video. Dude literally launches the ref through the air. In no way am I taking any moral side with the guy. He is a psycho. I hope he does some time. He deserves it. It’s just the reality of the situation.
Man i feel so bad for that kid. You know his life must suck so bad because his dads such a POS. You know that roid rage is usually aimed at him and his mum.. such a shame there are dads out there like this
I’ve not seen it yet in the comments, but kudos to your guest. He comes across as a very sensible, level-headed and considered bloke. Exactly the qualities you want in a good referee.
This guy clearly is knowledgeable, concise in his description, attentive, and very experienced coaching and wrestling. Sorry he threw you, especially in front of his child. Great interview.
Great interview from both of you! I’ve followed this incident and it was and this ref had it together and articulated what happened in great detail! Very enjoyable to watch.
My 13yo has been wrestling for 3 years. We have been to literally dozens of tournaments by now. I’ve never seen this sort of behavior. I have seen parents.coaches yell at refs, which is bad enough. But parents putting hands on someone doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue, at least in my neck of the woods. That behavior deserves legal consequences.
Holy crap I wrestled for BU too, but must have been at a different time. Having coached now for 26 years this is one of the worst incidents I’ve ever seen. Incredible restraint from the official.
What's crazy about this is that it seems that the local sheriff really didn't want anything to do with it. If it wasn't for the persistence of this referee, basically nothing would have been done by law enforcement!
@@Drummermedic. "Extradition refers to the process by which a person accused of a crime in one state may be taken into custody in another state and transferred back to the charging state." Literally the very first sentence at NC Prosecutor Online website. They talk about the extradition warrant @15:40, from VA to NC. You should make some attempt at being correct _before_ trying to appear clever.

If you google Joshua Hammond wrestling arrest va, you will also find out that his wife was busted back in 2022 for taking Covid unemployment benefit funds fraudulently. Easy enough to see the numbers of the business address in the shop window to confirm. Lolz 😂
I feel doubly bad for his son! He's learning a dangerously ignorant lesson from dad AND mom -- rather than effectively and maturely address the problem, IMMEDIATELY walk up and assault someone without warning and without ANY justifiable reason... and mom shouting incredulous and unfounded comments to the ref. They're BOTH cowards! I can only hope their son chooses ANY other path than theirs.
that dad looks like a blow up doll, that ref looks like a dude that can actually handle himself....and had the wherewithall to not lose his cool. I love the subtle flex of the three medals on his wall behind him
Yeah I noticed the medals in the background too. Dad’s a douche nozzle who embarrassed himself and his son, and the referee acted like a professional. He walked off the mat so that he could calm down and compose himself.
Lol lazy cops are the best "Sorry man, we literally can't do anything about any crime unless we physically see it happen, with 3 forms of ID, and the suspect's mother on hand saying "Yep that's my baby".
for real. And what I don't understand is, apparently they CAN arrest him, but the victim has to go down to the station to report it himself. So really, that's the difference? Why aren't officers who show up given a way to allow people to file right then and there? I don't understand why a person making a complaint at the station vs to an officer on the scene would change how the crime is handled.
It's not lazy cops, in this case. It's the constitution. If the incident didn't happen, "in the officer's presence"; then they can't generally arrest someone for a misdemeanor offence. The officer has to have an arrest warrant, which they can't get without probable cause. The officer wouldn't be able to get the warrant, in this case, without the witness swearing to the warrant.
@@KnightoNi18941 You really and truly known nothing about police procedure, the law, or the Constitution. VIDEO FOOTAGE OF AN AGGRAVATED ASSAULT HAPPENING IS ABSOLUTELY, 100% PROBABLE CAUSE FOR AN ARREST. By your logic, if someone is caught on camera committing murder, they can't even be arrested, let alone prosecuted or convicted.
Hey brother, anytime you wanna do another interview let me know! Your interview was definitely the best because I had a chance to talk about everything and you hardly edited anything out! All the news stations cut everything that I said , and basically kept the clip of me saying, “no, I was not expecting that” lol
This dad is totally Martin Kove from the Karate Kid. You just KNOW he's taught his son to fake being poked in the eye, hold someone's ankle in a way that could seriously injure the other person, etc. Considering the wife defrauded the government during COVID, it's absolutely not a jump to say these are terrible people. And they're raising their kid(s) horribly.
@disturbinglypragmatic not surprised that the roid raging dad has a leeeenghty criminal history complete with firearms crimes, probation violations & revoke, assault & battery, pages of speeding violations, escape attempt, public intox, abusive language, threats of bodily harm, obstruction of justice, destruction of property, Grand Larceny, etc. Sadly, the kid has the cards stacked against him.
Exactly what I thought. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The son has a bad nature. Father and son agreed to make up the story of the eye poke.
I was a mom coaching my son’s soccer team many years ago and we defeated an undefeated team with a shootout. A parent and a coach walked up to me and the coach punched me hard in the face. The local police would not charge him but the team was kicked out of the league for the next year.
The only cops I know I know personally. I am confident in saying that some random cop won’t see me online and say “I know that guy, get a warrant and I’d love to pick him up.” You have to be a real POS for some cop to recognize you from a wildcat tourney video and volunteer to make sure you get arrested.
The fruit didn’t fall far from the tree. The kid didn’t get poked in the eye, yet dad egged that on. The Kidd had a temper like mom and dad. The kid didn’t stop on the whistle. Dad and mom will pass on their “Egos” for generations to come. I hope many learned from this experience!
This is a good man. You have no right to put your hands on someone else, especially blindsiding him. The ref. did the right thing. He didn't escalate, he stayed calm, and he pressed charges. The person I feel most sorry for is the son. Parents are supposed to teach their children how to act properly, and his parents are teaching him to be a bully. Since this incident has gone viral, it will be even harder on their son. He will be ridiculed for something he has no control over. This man probably needs some anger management, and as was pointed out in the video, he probably needs to lay off of the steroids. Sadly this family had a run in with their hair salon and covid relief funds.
My first thought when I saw this was who in their right mind would attack a wrestling ref because that's a fight you're gonna lose. Basically anyone that involved in wrestling has serious experience wrestling and they are absolutely no joke. How can we prevent these types of incidents? You have to do what this ref is doing and go through the full legal process to get him some sort of punishment, maybe then parents know they can't get away with this stuff anymore
Buy your comment that sounds like something you would do fake an injury to collect money! But the ref didn't do that because he has more class than that, unlike some people!😂😂😂😂 He handle it the way he should have handled it! 👍👍👍
My wife and son drove two hours to watch me get my ass handed to me at my last jiu jitsu tournament. Made me happy anyway tho cause up until then hed only seen me win at tournmanets and i had a chance to model for him how to lose appropriately.
Stopping this type behavior is nearly impossible. Start banning parents on the first incident, publicize the zero bs policy. Then ban the kids if needed.
I'm still trying to figure out what dad was mad about. His son whether knowingly, or unknowingly put his fellow wrestler in a position to receive a potentially serious injury. Ref had to yell at the kid to get him to release and it appears was letting him know to stop immediately any time the ref blows the whistle. And this pissed dad off because?? Nothing can stop stupid people from doing stupid things unfortunately. Hopefully a criminal prosecution will teach the son that it's better to control your emotions than to play the fool.
Should be understood. You're making it sound like telling everyone would have changed things. In this case I don't think so. The Dad crossed more than one line. The fact that he stepped on the matt at all literally crosses the line, and even I know that! Same as if you were at Basketball or Football game. As a parent, or coach, you don't run onto the field. everyone knows that. Everyone also knows that you don't physically assault the ref for not agreeing with how he is speaking to your son or that you don't like the way the calls are going.
toxic parents and coaches are a huge problem in all sports. a few years back there was an incident at a tournament, where my purple belt student was reffing, and 7 year old student had a match with a kid from another local gym at the intermediate level. the kid from the other local gym won 14-10, but the opposing coach thought he should have won 14-8 and was upset about two points scored that should not have been. it literally had ZERO effect on the outcome SMH. in the middle of the match the coach said something and the ref (my student) brushed him off and said to wait until the match is over. at the end of the match there was 2 people holding back the opposing coach from trying to fight the ref (my student) because he was so infuriated. the parents were all horrified. this was the last time i took an organized kids team to a tournament. i prefer to keep my program isolated and issue free, its a shame though.
Fully understandable. It is great that this referee is holding the Dad ACCOUNTABLE for his actions. It sets an example, and a legal precedent, for acceptable conduct at sporting tournaments. Keep things professional, and reasonable. 👍
Football Official for 25+ years starting with youth football to D1 NCAA.. I’m also a 30+ year retired state LEO.. In all that time I had one (1) parent in a youth game put his hands on me and another member of the crew.. The home team coaches proceeded to give that visiting team parent a street lesson on the rules at their field.. The league ended up baring that parent from any event in their league.. You see mouthy parents, players and coaches in youth and lower division high school sports but rarely in NCAA and above..
Give this guy a podcast, very articulate. Also mad respect for pressing charges. I got sucker punched in a bar by this dude that immediately backed down when confronted, but it was shocking how little the police have a shit about helping me press charges
Glad ref didn't let it go and made the parent legally accountable. It sends a message to other parents, the kid also learned that move was illegal, that you stop when the ref whistles and that leaving the area disqualifies you from continuing the game, the school may consider mat placement a little farther from the wall. Poor kid. From dad's behavior, kid is likely under pressure to win so bad he would risk doing that move.
Absolute disgraceful behaviour from the parent. He definitely deserves a lifetime ban and to be charged. That’s not on at any comp but at a kids/teens event is even worse
It's too bad because the green wrestler looked like he's pretty new and was just frustrated he was losing. Dad probably was mad he didn't put in more time earlier in his kid's life to 'make a man out of him'
@@heyitsporothat is a very possible situation. Non wrestling parents, unfortunately, can be really bad. Crazy thing is, kids most likely end up quitting cause too much stress and not fun because of that.
😂😂😂😂 what?? Kid wasn't the problem, his man hood isn't even in question???? The dad may have acted ridiculous but the ref WAS LATE (at least a 5 count) and then the dramatic shout lol ref def has fragile ego, kids leg was in an awkward angle for some time befor to raise his voice in any way honestly
Reading most of the comments, there is an underlying theme here. Notice at the beginning, the young man in white does not shake the hand of the young man in red. The young man in red OFFERS the handshake in good sportsman-like conduct. Now, I haven't introduced race as a factor here until now. This needs to be investigated further with this issue. Now, I'm not a lawyer, not a LEO, but, IMO, there could be an element of bigotry involved with the young man in white. Why? He refused to shake the hand of the young man in red (African American). I'm curious to see what the dude in white did when in a match with other participants who were white. IF the "white" opponent shook hands with other participants NOT African American, then....as Mr. Miyagi said in The Karate Kid: No such thing as bad student. Only bad teacher. Teacher say, student do. In this case, the son is the student and the male parent (also female was belligerent towards the ref) is the "teacher". This kind of behavior (bigotry) is TAUGHT. Also, the male parent definitely has anger issues. He needs help.
McDojoLife coming in clutch as usual with a direct interview with the person involved in a viral martial arts video. Massive props to the ref. So classy and composed. I admire how articulate and rational he is and his passion for wrestling and combat sports. The parents are obviously out of control. A clear sports dad trying to attack people because his son didn't get the success he wants. Let the kids learn, have fun, and lose. They can grow in character from defeat.
I can't stand when cops say they weren't there, so they can't do anything. They pick and choose. So can you rob a bank? You won't get arrested because the cop wasn't there to witness it?
Cowards like that should be forcibly taught a lesson. It the referee is a complete pro. I imagine the guy would have ended in a stretcher if he had attempted anything face to face. Poor kid, probably will be banned because of his idiotic dad.
Well, we can only hope that the Kid won't suffer the consequences from his Royal Douche of a Father having a access of 'Roids Rage! I wouldn't be surprised if the Kid won't get penalized _(more than having been DQ'ed by leaving)_ because as the Ref said, when Events of a similar nature do occur, they're very careful to distinguish between the Parents' or Coach's Behaviour and the Kid's, and to never have a Kid suffer from other people's Actions/Foul Words. So, at least in this Tournament, I'm pretty confident that in the Future, the Kid will be allowed to Compete. His Dad will definitely have trouble getting in, at the very least! His mom too, to a lesser extent. And as for other Events held elsewhere, it all depends on whether this Viral Story got to their ears or not, and if so, if they're going to use good judgment and allow the Kid to Compete, unless he develops an Attitude Problem, since it seems to run in the family, and that the Apple *RARELY* falls off far from the Tree!
SO I understand the instinct to punch someone for yelling at your kid.... But this isn't a random dude, he is a ref... It's his job to yell at your kids lol.
The dad has probably never been to the kids wrestling practices. My wrestling coach was a marine drill sergeant that got us to shoot for 2 hours because of that Gotdamn drill voice.
in 1997, I was at a martial arts tournament. this is the first time i had ever seen grappling in real life. It was point karate with take downs and submissions. Fighters were around 13 to 14yo. Once the first few strikes were thrown, a takedown started. The grappling was going and this dad, sitting in the bleachers, with his camcord, on his shoulder, who's going nuts. The referee had to go up in the bleachers and tell him to shut up or get kicked out
Honestly this teaches those kids a fantastic lesson, which is sometimes a bad call goes against you and sometimes it will be in your favor... but you've got to always maintain sportsmanship and grace to be a truly great competitor.
0:38 Why put your child in sports to learn a discipline if you don’t want them to learn any discipline or be corrected by another adult? Guaranteed these parents are the kind of people who complain that people are too fragile these days and call everyone a snowflake🙄🙄. Their disgusting actions undermine the values the sport could offer their child…instead they’re setting him up for failure.
I'm a bjj Brown belt, and I'm pretty sure this ref could have beat my ass!! I'm so impressed and God what a great role model he is for NOT fighting back
That’s wild “if we didn’t see it happen we can’t arrest”. I dealt with that personally some dude pulled a shovel and came after this girl, I pulled my gun in defense of her. The cops came and basically said the same thing, the victim has to take out charges against the perp since they didn’t see it happen. In case it isn’t clear the victim wanted to press charges.
@ordinarypete LOL if your parent is a POS, you should not thank them. They did the only thing for the world wrong. If you turned out alright, it's not because of them, it's because of you.
There needs to be a coaches only section for one coach per participant. The rest need to be in the spectators section. All coaches should have a briefing on the rules and code of conduct for the coaches. If a parent is acting as a coach then they need to be in this briefing. If the coach doesn't attend the briefing then that kid doesn't participate. The coaches or parent coach needs to be held accountable for how they act and also know that consequences come with inappropriate actions. If the coach breaks the rules they get kicked right in the balls.
Hey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and enjoy your channel: keep going, you’re doing a good deed for the martial-arts community. Thanks, and God bless! 😊
After the assault by the jackass his wife verbally assaults the referee too. Yeah, the dad needs to spend some time in prison and the family needs to be banned from competing.
Yeah, modelling terrible behavior for all those kids in the room, not to mention for his own kid, who could be getting that kind of stuff 24/7. Hopefully it was a one off, but somehow I doubt it.
Dude on the right, ready as back-up, he was being taken to school, if he didn´t leave! :) I train not to fight, but in this case, I would consider making an exemption, what a total douche!

Thanks a lot man!
Are you really a lawyer? This incident (in NY at least) would only qualify as a Harassment. Not an "assault and battery" because there was no injury. Which is a violation, not a crime and must therefore be in the presence of a law enforcement officer for arrest. Otherwise its a turnover arrest that must be made by the victim. I can't speak to the law in Carolina but that appears to be the situation that the Deputy explained. However I agree that the Sheriff's Deputy should have made greater effort for the turnover arrest while the guy was in town.
@@zod5966 If it weren’t a crime, a warrant for custodial arrest couldn’t have been issued.
@@zod5966 Yes, I am. New York law differs from most jurisdictions concerning assault and battery. NY in fact doesn't technically have a battery law because it conflates battery with assault. North Carolina (where this incident occurred) follows the common law definitions of assault and battery. Also, injury to the victim is not an element of either charge in a simple assault and battery in North Carolina and most other jurisdictions.
@@zod5966 Everything you said here is wrong. Congrats.
I love everything about this official. Especially the fact that he joined you for an interview. I’m so glad we got to hear his perspective.
I’ve been reffing for 10 years in Illinois. I started in high school, earned my beer money in college through reffing and eventually in my adult life.
Fathers (and mothers) like this are far too common at kids tournaments. Obviously, not to the extent that this guy was. I always say the same thing to angry parents and coaches, if you don’t like my calls, you come and try to be the official. It’s not easy. You may see something that I don’t because of where I am on the mat. It’s wrestling. There’s scrambling, new wrestlers doing weird things with their bodies during the match which encourages me to call a potentially dangerous because they don’t know how to scramble.
I’m thrilled that you pressed charges. Actions like this are completely unacceptable and there needs to be a consequence.
This feels corny to type out, but his response to being pushed was what a martial artist is. He didn't have to "do" anything to that father he could just kick him out and let authorities deal with it. That calm and mature restraint is admirable and why you train. He knew what the situation was and didn't loose his cool.
I feel that too. No reason to get the hyped up gorilla more agitated. That gains you nothing, in any situation.
Lol so it's the masculine thing to take abuse you people nutty asf but it's too whites so I'm sure yall wouldn't want violence

LOL Ref is a D1 wrestler. That's awesome. It would have been awesome if he got up and absolutely handled the guy, but in the end we know it's better that he didn't. Good interview.
I’ve seen this type of comment on here several times. It’s pretty silly to think a former D1 wrestler who is in his fifties and out of shape is going to do anything against that dude. He has him by 50 lbs of muscle. Wrestling has weight classes for a reason. Also, what happens if you do pin him? Then what? Does he know any striking or submissions? You also assume psycho dad has no skill. He has his kid in youth wrestling so it’s a safe bet he has a background. In the end…mass matters…..a lot.
@@AlphanumericCharacters you're making a lot of assumptions yourself. You assume the dad has skill just because his son is in wrestling. Do all of the parents at the meet have wrestling backgrounds, then? Is that a "safe bet" too? You're also assuming the ref is out of shape. Why is that? He doesn't immediately look out of shape to me. He looks lean and limber. Does he know any submissions or striking? Your guess is as good as mine but it's obvious you're assuming he doesn't. Maybe there are reasons you've seen this same comment on here several times. Bodybuilder dad would have his work cut out for him. Mass matters a lot but so does skill.
@@Mongo966 all we know is that he was a D1 wrestler. You acting like that means he kicks the dad’s ass. Ref has a potbelly and weak looking shoulders. Hard to tell much more with the baggy shirt but he would be a lean 170-175 with that build. The strength differential is huge and makes all the difference. Reminds me of a debate I had with a karate black belt. He swore I would get my ass kicked by Rhonda Rousey in her prime. I have 80 lbs of muscle mass on her. My very mediocre fighting skills be damned. The only chance she would stand is because of my aversion to hurting a woman. Like I said, wrestlers don’t even stand much of a chance against dudes with more than ten pounds on them. Why you think they have so many weight classes? You have to be a smaller guy. It’s crazy to me how many smaller guys don’t understand the strength differential. Hell look at the video. Dude literally launches the ref through the air.
In no way am I taking any moral side with the guy. He is a psycho. I hope he does some time. He deserves it. It’s just the reality of the situation.
This ref is a good guy.
He could teach kids how to be great wrestlers and great human beings.
“Don’t get in my son’s face” he is the damn referee it’s job lol plus he wasn’t even in his face what a disgrace of a father.

It's the same in hockey. Some parents are unhinged.

Basketball is just as bad.
I’ve not seen it yet in the comments, but kudos to your guest. He comes across as a very sensible, level-headed and considered bloke. Exactly the qualities you want in a good referee.
Great perspective from an official. Thanks for participating and posting this.
This guy clearly is knowledgeable, concise in his description, attentive, and very experienced coaching and wrestling. Sorry he threw you, especially in front of his child. Great interview.
Always nice to see parents setting great examples of sportsmanship for not just their kids, but all the kids that they’re around…
This aggressive "father" is dangerous for everybody!
Seriously, that is the kind of aggressive, impulsive behavior that gets people killed.
And a coward.
Including himself!
Steroids are a helluva drug.
He is a big coward for what he did ...he is the type to shoot someone from behind and then proclaim himself righteous or a hero
Great interview from both of you! I’ve followed this incident and it was and this ref had it together and articulated what happened in great detail! Very enjoyable to watch.
My 13yo has been wrestling for 3 years. We have been to literally dozens of tournaments by now. I’ve never seen this sort of behavior. I have seen parents.coaches yell at refs, which is bad enough. But parents putting hands on someone doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue, at least in my neck of the woods. That behavior deserves legal consequences.
I see the videos way to often unfortunately
I saw a lady pick up a small six grader that was whooping her son, and toss him about 10 feet through the air. Some parents are mental
I was a hockey ref for years, and this guy said it all when he said that people yell at the refs, but they dont know the rules. Its laughable.
Holy crap I wrestled for BU too, but must have been at a different time. Having coached now for 26 years this is one of the worst incidents I’ve ever seen. Incredible restraint from the official.
It wasn’t restraint it was fear. And he knew he was picking on the kid
The refs credentials are legit. He would have easily folded up that juice head dad but preferred to get him out of there

What's crazy about this is that it seems that the local sheriff really didn't want anything to do with it. If it wasn't for the persistence of this referee, basically nothing would have been done by law enforcement!

I feel doubly bad for his son! He's learning a dangerously ignorant lesson from dad AND mom -- rather than effectively and maturely address the problem, IMMEDIATELY walk up and assault someone without warning and without ANY justifiable reason... and mom shouting incredulous and unfounded comments to the ref. They're BOTH cowards! I can only hope their son chooses ANY other path than theirs.
that dad looks like a blow up doll, that ref looks like a dude that can actually handle himself....and had the wherewithall to not lose his cool. I love the subtle flex of the three medals on his wall behind him
Yeah I noticed the medals in the background too. Dad’s a douche nozzle who embarrassed himself and his son, and the referee acted like a professional. He walked off the mat so that he could calm down and compose himself.
Now I have to go back and look for the medals . Geesh

Lol lazy cops are the best
"Sorry man, we literally can't do anything about any crime unless we physically see it happen, with 3 forms of ID, and the suspect's mother on hand saying "Yep that's my baby".
for real. And what I don't understand is, apparently they CAN arrest him, but the victim has to go down to the station to report it himself. So really, that's the difference? Why aren't officers who show up given a way to allow people to file right then and there? I don't understand why a person making a complaint at the station vs to an officer on the scene would change how the crime is handled.
@@officialpowerofbanana so what if a quadriplegic sees a crime? he needs to go down to the station?
It's not lazy cops, in this case. It's the constitution. If the incident didn't happen, "in the officer's presence"; then they can't generally arrest someone for a misdemeanor offence. The officer has to have an arrest warrant, which they can't get without probable cause. The officer wouldn't be able to get the warrant, in this case, without the witness swearing to the warrant.
@@KnightoNi18941 It was on video. Yes, the cop was lazy. Has nothing to do with the CoNsTiTuTiOn. Stop apologizing for lazy pig cops.

Hey brother, anytime you wanna do another interview let me know! Your interview was definitely the best because I had a chance to talk about everything and you hardly edited anything out! All the news stations cut everything that I said , and basically kept the clip of me saying, “no, I was not expecting that” lol
This dad is totally Martin Kove from the Karate Kid. You just KNOW he's taught his son to fake being poked in the eye, hold someone's ankle in a way that could seriously injure the other person, etc. Considering the wife defrauded the government during COVID, it's absolutely not a jump to say these are terrible people. And they're raising their kid(s) horribly.
Take the fall, act hurt, get indignant
I think the eye poke was the poor kids idea to avoid disappointing his asshole father who might be giving him loads of shit at home for bad matches.
@disturbinglypragmatic not surprised that the roid raging dad has a leeeenghty criminal history complete with firearms crimes, probation violations & revoke, assault & battery, pages of speeding violations, escape attempt, public intox, abusive language, threats of bodily harm, obstruction of justice, destruction of property, Grand Larceny, etc.
Sadly, the kid has the cards stacked against him.
Exactly what I thought. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The son has a bad nature. Father and son agreed to make up the story of the eye poke.
he didn't fake the eye thing. however, he did it to himself as clearly seen in the slo-mo replay.
I was a mom coaching my son’s soccer team many years ago and we defeated an undefeated team with a shootout. A parent and a coach walked up to me and the coach punched me hard in the face. The local police would not charge him but the team was kicked out of the league for the next year.
The only cops I know I know personally. I am confident in saying that some random cop won’t see me online and say “I know that guy, get a warrant and I’d love to pick him up.” You have to be a real POS for some cop to recognize you from a wildcat tourney video and volunteer to make sure you get arrested.
Usually when a cop says "I know that guy" they mean they know him "professionally."
Yuuuuuup. 👍🏼😃
"I got it in 4K, y'all!" 😅😅
Legendary!
The guy in the Black shirt and ball cap really wanted some too!!! He has been waiting his whole life to take down a bully like that father!
What a crap little town. You can see the guy getting assaulted, but they wouldn't do squat. Is this how they respond to all crimes or just assault?
Man I love this channel. Even quoting Dante from Clerks! Thanks for interviewing this fella, nice to hear it from his perspective.
Thank you for the support it’s appreciated
That was the first thing I thought too, it reminds me of Clerks. It surprised me when he then said it after i thought it. Great moment.
It's not good when you call the cops in another state and they go " Hey it's him!"
I live in the same county as the dad. Genuinely embarrassed this happened
Why? Are you related?
@blockededited8280 no relation. Just dumb luck that he just so happened to be from my county
No self control. Trying to live an athletic career through your kid. His kid was getting beat. Lol
The fruit didn’t fall far from the tree. The kid didn’t get poked in the eye, yet dad egged that on. The Kidd had a temper like mom and dad. The kid didn’t stop on the whistle.
Dad and mom will pass on their “Egos” for generations to come.
I hope many learned from this experience!
This is a good man. You have no right to put your hands on someone else, especially blindsiding him. The ref. did the right thing. He didn't escalate, he stayed calm, and he pressed charges.
The person I feel most sorry for is the son. Parents are supposed to teach their children how to act properly, and his parents are teaching him to be a bully. Since this incident has gone viral, it will be even harder on their son. He will be ridiculed for something he has no control over.
This man probably needs some anger management, and as was pointed out in the video, he probably needs to lay off of the steroids.
Sadly this family had a run in with their hair salon and covid relief funds.
His son can now wrestle in another state. Thanks dad. 😂
My first thought when I saw this was who in their right mind would attack a wrestling ref because that's a fight you're gonna lose. Basically anyone that involved in wrestling has serious experience wrestling and they are absolutely no joke. How can we prevent these types of incidents? You have to do what this ref is doing and go through the full legal process to get him some sort of punishment, maybe then parents know they can't get away with this stuff anymore
The ref's mistake here was in not immediately faking a neck injury.
Buy your comment that sounds like something you would do fake an injury to collect money! But the ref didn't do that because he has more class than that, unlike some people!😂😂😂😂 He handle it the way he should have handled it! 👍👍👍
😂
Too many people do not know how to loose. Losing is not a terrible thing, but many people are too invested in winning.
I've learned more in loss than victory. People need to learn to find the lessons taught in losing.
My wife and son drove two hours to watch me get my ass handed to me at my last jiu jitsu tournament. Made me happy anyway tho cause up until then hed only seen me win at tournmanets and i had a chance to model for him how to lose appropriately.

Losing is the best way to learn in any martial arts. ❤

Stopping this type behavior is nearly impossible. Start banning parents on the first incident, publicize the zero bs policy. Then ban the kids if needed.
I'm still trying to figure out what dad was mad about. His son whether knowingly, or unknowingly put his fellow wrestler in a position to receive a potentially serious injury. Ref had to yell at the kid to get him to release and it appears was letting him know to stop immediately any time the ref blows the whistle. And this pissed dad off because?? Nothing can stop stupid people from doing stupid things unfortunately. Hopefully a criminal prosecution will teach the son that it's better to control your emotions than to play the fool.
Because steroids. He's probably also got an underlying anger issue, but definitely a case of roid rage.
Bet his boys are the size of raisins...
He was mad about his small penis
Dad wanted to see the other kid get hurt. He's a sadist.
I am not a wrestler, but i compete in bjj. Seems like they should just tell everyone at the start, no stepping on the mat, or they are ejected.
At hs matches there are generally a code of ethics read over speaker... just some don't have brain cells to understand
Should be understood. You're making it sound like telling everyone would have changed things. In this case I don't think so. The Dad crossed more than one line. The fact that he stepped on the matt at all literally crosses the line, and even I know that! Same as if you were at Basketball or Football game. As a parent, or coach, you don't run onto the field. everyone knows that. Everyone also knows that you don't physically assault the ref for not agreeing with how he is speaking to your son or that you don't like the way the calls are going.
toxic parents and coaches are a huge problem in all sports. a few years back there was an incident at a tournament, where my purple belt student was reffing, and 7 year old student had a match with a kid from another local gym at the intermediate level. the kid from the other local gym won 14-10, but the opposing coach thought he should have won 14-8 and was upset about two points scored that should not have been. it literally had ZERO effect on the outcome SMH. in the middle of the match the coach said something and the ref (my student) brushed him off and said to wait until the match is over. at the end of the match there was 2 people holding back the opposing coach from trying to fight the ref (my student) because he was so infuriated. the parents were all horrified. this was the last time i took an organized kids team to a tournament. i prefer to keep my program isolated and issue free, its a shame though.
Fully understandable. It is great that this referee is holding the Dad ACCOUNTABLE for his actions. It sets an example, and a legal precedent, for acceptable conduct at sporting tournaments. Keep things professional, and reasonable. 👍
Football Official for 25+ years starting with youth football to D1 NCAA.. I’m also a 30+ year retired state LEO.. In all that time I had one (1) parent in a youth game put his hands on me and another member of the crew.. The home team coaches proceeded to give that visiting team parent a street lesson on the rules at their field.. The league ended up baring that parent from any event in their league.. You see mouthy parents, players and coaches in youth and lower division high school sports but rarely in NCAA and above..
Give this guy a podcast, very articulate.
Also mad respect for pressing charges. I got sucker punched in a bar by this dude that immediately backed down when confronted, but it was shocking how little the police have a shit about helping me press charges
Glad ref didn't let it go and made the parent legally accountable. It sends a message to other parents, the kid also learned that move was illegal, that you stop when the ref whistles and that leaving the area disqualifies you from continuing the game, the school may consider mat placement a little farther from the wall. Poor kid. From dad's behavior, kid is likely under pressure to win so bad he would risk doing that move.
Absolute disgraceful behaviour from the parent. He definitely deserves a lifetime ban and to be charged. That’s not on at any comp but at a kids/teens event is even worse
Kudos to this gentleman for being a good person and ref. Very levelheaded.
It's too bad because the green wrestler looked like he's pretty new and was just frustrated he was losing. Dad probably was mad he didn't put in more time earlier in his kid's life to 'make a man out of him'
Or bros fighting for his flight back to not be filled with abuse from the father. Who knows, it’s the internet 🦢
@@heyitsporothat is a very possible situation. Non wrestling parents, unfortunately, can be really bad. Crazy thing is, kids most likely end up quitting cause too much stress and not fun because of that.
😂😂😂😂 what?? Kid wasn't the problem, his man hood isn't even in question???? The dad may have acted ridiculous but the ref WAS LATE (at least a 5 count) and then the dramatic shout lol ref def has fragile ego, kids leg was in an awkward angle for some time befor to raise his voice in any way honestly
Dad is a p*ssy
Reading most of the comments, there is an underlying theme here. Notice at the beginning, the young man in white does not shake the hand of the young man in red. The young man in red OFFERS the handshake in good sportsman-like conduct. Now, I haven't introduced race as a factor here until now. This needs to be investigated further with this issue.
Now, I'm not a lawyer, not a LEO, but, IMO, there could be an element of bigotry involved with the young man in white. Why? He refused to shake the hand of the young man in red (African American).
I'm curious to see what the dude in white did when in a match with other participants who were white.
IF the "white" opponent shook hands with other participants NOT African American, then....as Mr. Miyagi said in The Karate Kid: No such thing as bad student. Only bad teacher. Teacher say, student do. In this case, the son is the student and the male parent (also female was belligerent towards the ref) is the "teacher". This kind of behavior (bigotry) is TAUGHT.
Also, the male parent definitely has anger issues. He needs help.
McDojoLife coming in clutch as usual with a direct interview with the person involved in a viral martial arts video.
Massive props to the ref. So classy and composed. I admire how articulate and rational he is and his passion for wrestling and combat sports.
The parents are obviously out of control. A clear sports dad trying to attack people because his son didn't get the success he wants. Let the kids learn, have fun, and lose. They can grow in character from defeat.
I can't stand when cops say they weren't there, so they can't do anything. They pick and choose. So can you rob a bank? You won't get arrested because the cop wasn't there to witness it?
Ref has a great attitude and if anything the parents should appreciate that he was genuinely concerned for both kids safety!
He has ‘dad living his dreams through his kid’ vibes
From about the 19 minute mark, he describes exactly what makes combat sports/martial arts great in a way I’ve never heard but it’s spot on
What a great video. What a great interview. I could listen to this guy talk all day.
Cowards like that should be forcibly taught a lesson. It the referee is a complete pro. I imagine the guy would have ended in a stretcher if he had attempted anything face to face. Poor kid, probably will be banned because of his idiotic dad.
Well, we can only hope that the Kid won't suffer the consequences from his Royal Douche of a Father having a access of 'Roids Rage!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Kid won't get penalized _(more than having been DQ'ed by leaving)_ because as the Ref said, when Events of a similar nature do occur, they're very careful to distinguish between the Parents' or Coach's Behaviour and the Kid's, and to never have a Kid suffer from other people's Actions/Foul Words.
So, at least in this Tournament, I'm pretty confident that in the Future, the Kid will be allowed to Compete. His Dad will definitely have trouble getting in, at the very least! His mom too, to a lesser extent.
And as for other Events held elsewhere, it all depends on whether this Viral Story got to their ears or not, and if so, if they're going to use good judgment and allow the Kid to Compete, unless he develops an Attitude Problem, since it seems to run in the family, and that the Apple *RARELY* falls off far from the Tree!
He specifically said the kid wasn't getting punished, he even could've continued the fight
No he won't. But the dad will probably be asked to not attend events going forward. The wrestling community won't punish the kid though.

The dad has probably never been to the kids wrestling practices. My wrestling coach was a marine drill sergeant that got us to shoot for 2 hours because of that Gotdamn drill voice.
Great interview all around and good lessons for anybody. Also amazing job letting him speak and not interrupting one time
in 1997, I was at a martial arts tournament. this is the first time i had ever seen grappling in real life. It was point karate with take downs and submissions. Fighters were around 13 to 14yo. Once the first few strikes were thrown, a takedown started. The grappling was going and this dad, sitting in the bleachers, with his camcord, on his shoulder, who's going nuts. The referee had to go up in the bleachers and tell him to shut up or get kicked out
That's the plotline from Karate Kid 4
Literally "kicked" out.
They should have known this guy was going to be trouble when he walked in there wearing camo utility shorts...😂
5:55 if red poked white in the eye, then they took white down with just one arm. Mad skills. Tough-guy dad needs to sit down.
Honestly this teaches those kids a fantastic lesson, which is sometimes a bad call goes against you and sometimes it will be in your favor... but you've got to always maintain sportsmanship and grace to be a truly great competitor.
11:15 Look at how astonished and sad is the kid's face! He clearly didn't agree his father's action.
I bet his father is very dominant at home and there not much love in this family. He looks broken.
Dad beats his ass at home 100000000000000%
0:38 Why put your child in sports to learn a discipline if you don’t want them to learn any discipline or be corrected by another adult? Guaranteed these parents are the kind of people who complain that people are too fragile these days and call everyone a snowflake🙄🙄. Their disgusting actions undermine the values the sport could offer their child…instead they’re setting him up for failure.
This is that guy that always has to win, we had a whole dock head family like this.
I'm a bjj Brown belt, and I'm pretty sure this ref could have beat my ass!! I'm so impressed and God what a great role model he is for NOT fighting back
Glad for this interview. I've seen the footage of the dad but never fully understood what was going on.
That’s wild “if we didn’t see it happen we can’t arrest”.
I dealt with that personally some dude pulled a shovel and came after this girl, I pulled my gun in defense of her. The cops came and basically said the same thing, the victim has to take out charges against the perp since they didn’t see it happen.
In case it isn’t clear the victim wanted to press charges.

The ref's #1 responsibility is the safety of the athletes. You were quick and made the right call.
There needs to be a coaches only section for one coach per participant. The rest need to be in the spectators section. All coaches should have a briefing on the rules and code of conduct for the coaches. If a parent is acting as a coach then they need to be in this briefing. If the coach doesn't attend the briefing then that kid doesn't participate. The coaches or parent coach needs to be held accountable for how they act and also know that consequences come with inappropriate actions. If the coach breaks the rules they get kicked right in the balls.
