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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
Disclaimer 4yrs HS wrestling 49 years ago. If a parent ever set foot on the mat during a match, they would be escorted out and the child would forfeit the competition. Today all parents should be locked in a room and made to watch any HS sport on closed-circuit TV.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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 "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?
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
The kids attitude mirrored his father's shameful example of poor emotional maturity and sportsmanship. Hopefully the kid can look to better rolemodels (such as the ref) and grow up (which his bully of a father has obviously failed to do!)
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
@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.
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. 👍
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!
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
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.
What a big baby, nice role model for that poor kid, “take roids and sneak up on people”. I’m surprised something got done about it honestly, but I’m glad someone did something about it. Love the honorable mentions, tackle and grapple!! And The Foot Fist Way is one of my favorites, as I was victim to a mcdojo as a child.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Re: question of the day, the BJJ tournaments I’ve seen in the UK have the mats sectioned off by barriers, that are locked into place to mark of the competition area. You have to go through a queuing system to get to the mats themselves, and there are staff that usually only let you in if you’re competing. But, hey, we’re Brits and we a love a good queue! 😂
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
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.
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'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.
As for preventing things like this from happening… We are probably not going to prevent them all. That comes from my experience of working with the public in private security and emergency medicine for about 30 years. However, it could be helpful to write up a simple disclaimer statement of some type, which would outline what conduct is expected of people as spectators, what is not allowed, and give them a well - worded, kindly warning of potential for prosecution if anyone assaults a participant or other spectators or any officials in attendance. Maybe something in along those lines…
Shame of the sheriff’s office for obviously not planning to do anything until it hit social media, it shouldn’t have to be like this. Props for keeping your self control. I feel bad for the boy, every lesson he learned that day was wrong.
Something like a code of conduct that parents would have to sign when registering for a tournament with an explicit statement of ejection for violation seems like it would at least make people more wary of succumbing to these types of outbursts.
I feel so sorry for that kid. Not only an abusive father, his the mother was no better. Thanks for a great video and capping it off with video of the arrest!
This gentleman handled the situation extremely well. Considering what the dad had done. I hope the kids and parents learn a valuable lesson from this. My hat off to you sir….
That guy needs to talk to his doctor about lowering his gender affirming therapy doses. It seems like he might not be able to handle his current regimen. Hope the kid ends up alright though. Usually the coaches can be looked up to as alternative role models.
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.
I agree with the good show of Sportsmanship! However... WTF is Honiburuu supposed to mean?!!! Tried to Search thoroughly for this Word and I came up empty!
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! 😊
Since I doubt the wrestler would fake an eye poke, it makes sense that the dreads-which you can see whipping around during the match-struck his eye. Rule makers need to discuss whether that hair-potentially a danger to both grapplers’ eyes-should be permitted.
@KJKP it appears he took a shot to the nose from the other wrestler’s head, as he attempted to sprawl. I would assume he was wiping his eyes, as when the nose takes that type of impact, the eyes tend to water quite a bit

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.
@@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.
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
That's sad.@@XeenimChoorch-nx8wx
We had the whole highschool wrestling team fight another schools basketball team and parents and student section from across town 😅😂😂😂
@@edwincolon3270 oh I’ve seen many scuffles, but physically attacking an official is so far below the belt. You just never put your hands on them.
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
Disclaimer 4yrs HS wrestling 49 years ago.
If a parent ever set foot on the mat during a match, they would be escorted out and the child would forfeit the competition. Today all parents should be locked in a room and made to watch any HS sport on closed-circuit TV.
Right, like any school is going to go through all that trouble over a few bad apples.
Not happening weirdo.
I was a coach for about 8 years. I’d never let a signal parent get anywhere near that close.
Same here and to be honest I would feel embarrassed if my mom and or dad would step on the mat to defend me as a fucking wrestler
Better, at home.
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.
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!
Attacking a former D1 wrestler seems like a fast way to get turned into a pretzel. Great restraint on the referees part. Restraint is what a man does.
Nothing manly about being a petulant meathead, for sure.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
"like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win..but never to accept the way to lose.." - Bruce Lee
Losing is the best way to learn in any martial arts. ❤
lose*
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.
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
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.
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. 👍🏼😃
The mom saying "be an adult and don't yell at a kid" to the referee 😂😂😂
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.
The ref's mistake here was in not immediately faking a neck injury.
Great perspective from an official. Thanks for participating and posting this.
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?
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
The kids attitude mirrored his father's shameful example of poor emotional maturity and sportsmanship. Hopefully the kid can look to better rolemodels (such as the ref) and grow up (which his bully of a father has obviously failed to do!)
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
Sadly this kid is going to learn this bad behavior from his dad and will be just like him.
Great job explaining the day. You did good, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt.
Ref has a great attitude and if anything the parents should appreciate that he was genuinely concerned for both kids safety!
Ah, yes; the Psycho Dad. I definitely had the misfortune of having one of those myself, and now that he's gone I don't miss him for a second.
Should miss him somewhat. He gave you life.
@@ordinarypeteso what.. no one deserves praise for having sex..raising the kid is the important part...and it sounds like his dad failed
@@ordinarypete pathetic dork
@@ordinarypetena, and fuck you for trying to tell people how to feel.
@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.
Can we all agree this mans beard is epic? Well shaped and full
He looks like a slimmer Santa Claus
It's not good when you call the cops in another state and they go " Hey it's him!"
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. 👍
The Asian ref was ready to scrap too.
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!
Ah, yes, the "I'm big, so everybody will do as I say" kind of dad.
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
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
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.
He has ‘dad living his dreams through his kid’ vibes
It's the same in hockey. Some parents are unhinged.
Once, a dad beat a coach to death. He felt that the coach was letting his kid get hit too hard in practice.
Basketball is just as bad.
22:45 meanwhile connor mcgregor: *jumps over the cage as a cornerman before the match is over*
What a big baby, nice role model for that poor kid, “take roids and sneak up on people”.
I’m surprised something got done about it honestly, but I’m glad someone did something about it.
Love the honorable mentions, tackle and grapple!! And The Foot Fist Way is one of my favorites, as I was victim to a mcdojo as a child.
'I got it in 4k y'all'...phrase of our times
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.
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.
@@eclipsewrecker 😂 as you call me names. No more speaking for you lol
What a message that sorry excuse for a dad is sending.
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.
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.
Re: question of the day, the BJJ tournaments I’ve seen in the UK have the mats sectioned off by barriers, that are locked into place to mark of the competition area. You have to go through a queuing system to get to the mats themselves, and there are staff that usually only let you in if you’re competing. But, hey, we’re Brits and we a love a good queue! 😂
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
What a great video. What a great interview. I could listen to this guy talk all day.
How in the world can you possibly be ok with your kid WRESTLING, but you draw the line where an adult gets in his face to enforce the rules... 😂
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.
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'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
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
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.
Except in this case the victim did want to press charges. Just lazy cops.
@@josequins9099 yeah….same thing in my scenario.
@@josequins9099 It's a shame reading comprehension is so low
@@Nutty2087it’s not the same.
@@ordinarypete how is it not the same?
Absolutely disgusting behavior on the parts of the parents. If you can't control yourself, stay home.
I love how the ref got up and didn't even look at the dad...
I think the only thing that could stop this is parents actually growing up but that seems pretty far off
Great interview all around and good lessons for anybody. Also amazing job letting him speak and not interrupting one time
As for preventing things like this from happening… We are probably not going to prevent them all. That comes from my experience of working with the public in private security and emergency medicine for about 30 years.
However, it could be helpful to write up a simple disclaimer statement of some type, which would outline what conduct is expected of people as spectators, what is not allowed, and give them a well - worded, kindly warning of potential for prosecution if anyone assaults a participant or other spectators or any officials in attendance.
Maybe something in along those lines…
Always nice to see parents setting great examples of sportsmanship for not just their kids, but all the kids that they’re around…
Concord is a suburb of Charlotte. Really nice place. Apparently roids on demand
Sir, your beard is wonderful, and your integrity and character are inspiring.
After that incident at Al brown high school a couple years ago, we're getting a bad look around here on the wrestling scene
23:52 best part of the video 😂
Looks like he also does BJJ given the medals in the back
Shame of the sheriff’s office for obviously not planning to do anything until it hit social media, it shouldn’t have to be like this. Props for keeping your self control. I feel bad for the boy, every lesson he learned that day was wrong.
Something like a code of conduct that parents would have to sign when registering for a tournament with an explicit statement of ejection for violation seems like it would at least make people more wary of succumbing to these types of outbursts.
The last wrestling dad we've seen on the channel launched the other kid, not the ref, it's an improvement 😄
Gen X thinking they're above the law as always.
No not gen x
I feel so sorry for that kid. Not only an abusive father, his the mother was no better. Thanks for a great video and capping it off with video of the arrest!
Typical children in adult bodies. These poor excuses of parents are going to try and bully the wrong people one of these days.
This gentleman handled the situation extremely well. Considering what the dad had done. I hope the kids and parents learn a valuable lesson from this. My hat off to you sir….
That guy needs to talk to his doctor about lowering his gender affirming therapy doses. It seems like he might not be able to handle his current regimen.
Hope the kid ends up alright though. Usually the coaches can be looked up to as alternative role models.
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.
Black kid with the space jam shirt Honiburuu AF, was up and ready to lend a hand in a flash.

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! 😊
Steroids are bad, mmkay…
That ain’t roids. That’s douchebaggery
Funny how the father and the son both throw temper tantrums in the video of the incident. Like father Like Son!!
Since I doubt the wrestler would fake an eye poke, it makes sense that the dreads-which you can see whipping around during the match-struck his eye. Rule makers need to discuss whether that hair-potentially a danger to both grapplers’ eyes-should be permitted.
Nah.
@KJKP it appears he took a shot to the nose from the other wrestler’s head, as he attempted to sprawl. I would assume he was wiping his eyes, as when the nose takes that type of impact, the eyes tend to water quite a bit
The kid was just a pansy. He got hit with a head butt and started looking to Mommy and Daddy to save him.
