@@TiredFatherOf2 Don't worry, WHO said that they may need to remove people from their homes if the are infected. So maybe you will use your jiu jitsu in real life situation, it is even better training.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune
I started training jiu jitsu two months ago because I got a job at a psych unit where we frequently have assaultive patients and I had a pretty high amount of fear about approaching them. I can honestly say that even just doing two months has given me so much more confidence at work and has caused me to be able to relax and sensibly approach more patients to help them. When they are becoming violent, I am able to think clearer under that stress and cautiously act in ways to help de-escalate the situation or restrain them if necessary. Jiu jitsu is the highlight of my week.

Love the fact he discusses it's not just you feel more confident within yourself, but people have a change of perception that will mean it's less likely to result in physical conflict.
A memory of the past. When I studied Shotokan for several years, my mind realized after awhile that I could deal with at least a start of something physical, that I knew enough to be lethal (strike to throat ) and that a sucker punch would be bad, being knocked unconscious was terrible, and a 2 shot derringer would help. Discretion is the better part of valor. Another memory. Clark Air Base 1988 to 1990, Anesthesia doc at the 13th Air Force Hospital. We had 4 Navy Seals from Subic shadowing us in the OR for a couple of weeks learning/improving their airway skills, intubations, mask/bag ventilation, OPA, etc. as well as IV placements. Surgeons were showing them chest tubes, basic suturing, setting fractures . The OB guys were showing how to deliver babies, C-sections. Pediatricians how to deal with newborns, etc. These guys were like alert wolf-panther people. I mean they were sponges for information, completely focused, totally got the eye hand coordination thing, only needed one walk through and instantly grasped the pitfalls. They were bright eyed and bushy tailed. And at the end they gave us a little wooden plaque thanking our Anesthesia Department for the inter-service cooperation. I hope it survived Pinatubo.
Fear is nothing more than a feeling. You feel happy. You feel hungry. You feel angry. You feel afraid... It's perfectly normal and natural, and tells you something if you search yourself for whatever it is that you FEEL afraid of. Investigate that. Learn it. When you know all you need to know about it, and come out the other side, you may still have a healthy respect for it... BUT you'll no longer have that great unknown to be afraid of. Fear is for self preservation. You SHOULD be afraid of walking into a fire (for instance) because it can injure you horribly and permanently if not kill you horribly and outright. It's going to hurt... BUT what do you fear that you shouldn't??? Snakes? They're plenty dangerous, sure. BUT even the venomous ones don't generally desire to waste venom on you, because you aren't part of their menu. That shit's expensive for them to make and it doesn't make itself. It may take days for a "full load" of venom to be produced by a snake. The primary use is hunting/food, and snakes only generally have to eat once or twice a week... Some go considerably longer between meals. SO a healthy respect is appropriate, but outright blood curdling fear? No... not so much. I've wrangled most varieties, by hand... myself... with no more than an ordinary walking cane and a bucket as tools. They're really not so big a deal. Think it through. Whatever you're afraid of... It's probably more about what's unknown than the actual target of your fear, itself. The fear can only devour your soul if you sit idle and let it. ;o)

The first time I saw Jocko I thought man... this guy is an animal... but after watching and listening to him for a few months on various channels (Rogan). This man is such a great balanced guy. Glad I subbed. He gives great advice!
I would like to see Jocko regularly spend time applying his tier one leadership perspective directly to the worldwide pandemic. I'm sure he has valuable insight to offer those looking for guidance and that he can do it in a non-controversial way. I recognize his podcasts already address the mindset necessary to overcome all types of adversity. I think he has more specific input to offer that could help during this trying time.
I really wanted to say nothing.. But he tears up a little in Joe Rogan's podcast talking about the men and women's bravery who served along with him in Ramadi.
He did cry, he had teary eyes talking about his wife stepping up the household full of his kids and couldn't be there, to spend more time because his wife understood his world in war zones! He kinda choked up naturally on the podcast at the end about "there being no words to express his gratitude towards his wife! Because SHE KNOWS HIS APPREACIATION already!!" That's because there are no words to express, his eyes were red and teary and this wasn't on the Joe Roegan podcast, it was DUACO podcast, It was with the black guy on his podcast a former Football player which he is british so he's a former soccer player, Right his name is BERTLAND JOCCO explained about what's it's like being a 20 veteran as a navy seal commander on the Bertland podcast towards the end where he tears up....
I took aikido as a kid, and boxed as a teenager. Wrecked my dirtbike twice and both times went straight over the handlebars, rolled and ended up on my feet - that's aikido. Boxing taught me how to use angles and fight with my hands. Both were very useful in their own way. No doubt judo is the same.
Discussion of the marital arts is great especially the self-confidence, respect, humliity. As bruce Lee called Jeet Kun Do, the art of fighting without fighting.

Keep the great content coming Jocko.
I'm a driving instructor and this is EXACTLY what i tell the kids when we are out there. I also tell them to make sure they are not glued to their fears. "i know you wanna watch the cars approach because you think its safer that way, but we also need to look ahead and make sure we see the landing zone." Balance is Key. Awesome segment.
In my experiences living in today’s world, I found that myself at times as well as numerous friends were not living in fear necessarily due to a false sense of security to begin with. Although my situation was quite different than that of many friends. I made fear an auto response out of the necessity to survive in a home with domestic violence. It took me decades to understand this and I’m finally at peace with it. However, it did engrain a hyper awareness and mindfulness that I have taught myself how to switch on and off depending on my surroundings and or environment. It took a lot of work to acknowledge this and even more work to turn it into a useful tool. However, this new found knowledge engrained a sense of self confidence that I never knew I had the possibility of carrying without any effort. You, Jordan Peterson, Eckhart Tolle and most importantly God, had a big roll in helping me achieve this. So I thank you for that. 🙏🏼 @jockowillink
to me, understanding of the world around you, and particularly the understanding of the level of control you have, is what impacts fear. Understanding what no one controls, and what you control, helps you take control of your life. the most negative people, are usually also those that do not grasp this. As a consequence, life happens to them, in stead of them being in control of their goals, happiness and progress. this equates to fear. Being physically capable is a small part of this, especially in a society where there are laws and bureaucracy to protect you. (yes, I say bureacracy is a good thing, happy to argue the point if someone is interested)
I'd like to share that I've had a few occasions in my life, when fear was overcome by love that was stronger than the fear, and in a few cases, the fear was suddenly replaced with calm boldness. I've never been a fighter and am not a very big man, but the Spirit has put confidence in me that has stopped bigger and badder people in their tracks, caused them to turn and walk away...even a gang of a dozen or more. Absence of fear is conveyed on a subconscious level, but it is conveyed, and when those who would harm you see that you are not afraid, that puts the fear into them.

Started jiu jitsu a couple months back, did it a couple days and let it go for the past two months now but I know there is something inside that knows if I stay with it I will end up loving it but as soon as the corona virus stuff dies down I’m gonna get in to it full time and actually train for it
Great topic, and very timely. Perfect love casts out fear. This is not belief, but knowledge. The love of the Great Spirit is revealed to those who will humble themselves to trust our Creator with gratitude for life and everything that makes life worth living. That is very reassuring and convincing, to know that the worst that the enemy can do is to kill me, but I know that the One Who gives life is also able to restore it, and has promised to do so. And if my life is not restored, then it won't matter to me anyway. The dead have no consciousness whatsoever, despite the horrendous lies of the church.
In addition along with knowing BJJ I think its. Helpful to have some basic grasp to know how react in medical emergencies know CPR etc. how to call the police etc. similar to the unique confidence police and military personnel have
At this time 46k views and only a 180 comments. I have to admit I didn't read a single one. But I can conclude, this is a topic that's difficult. I have never specifically been successful in any fight that I've been in. But I have been challenged, and realizing that fear no matter where you're at conversation, physically, financially, can and will affect your ability to make the best rational decision even with pain as a possible best outcome. Fear doesn't allow you to make any rational decision, because fear is always perceptual. I have to constantly keep myself experiencing what is actually happening. And ask myself, what are my outcomes, and am I really working towards my best solutions versus trying to avoid my perceptual fears.
Two things in combination seems to reduce general fear that I've noticed, at least anecdotally: Pushing yourself physically harder than you want to be pushed.... and no jerking off, better yet, no nut at all for a week plus....that combination seems to remove a lot of fear in life for me...of a lot of shit! But I would imagine fighting, or Jiu Jitsu, is a great way to achieve part one of that equation.
Personally, I've never witnessed more widespread fear than I've witnessed in people over a cold virus. So much fear and panic out there that it feels like I'm living in an alternate reality (and I'm *old*)
I agree completely. I"ve lost a lot of respect for a lot of people. Scared rabbits. Lives have been too easy for too long. My dad was a combat veteran with the British army and a hard man, 2 uncles at Dunkirk, both grandpas in WW1. Can't believe how friggin soft people are now.
Jocko, I have short spouts of super high productivity followed by long ruts where I don’t feel like I can get out of and I dig myself into a hole. Do you have any advice on how to get out or prevent them.
He’d say the answer is discipline. If you need to write down your goals for the next day before you go to bed. If you fail at achieving those goals the next day punish yourself somehow. Or listen to his psychological warfare.
I have a head injury that left me with plates and screws and cannot get hit in the head again. Do you go easy when rolling with someone with similar injuries or do you show them what you got. I feel everybody is going easy on me now because of this. In my mind I’m going harder than ever because I don’t want to get clipped and injure my head again so I’m faster and more focused on the goal. Or am I misleading myself with people that aren’t giving me 100% anymore? Probably better questions to answer but I was just curious to know
My son's 7, been in BJJ here in Taiwan since he was 3. I tell him all the time, looking tough, acting tough, talking tough, walking tough, all that means shit, it's just scared guys that act like that. BEING tough is being tough.
Not all, fear is necessary so as not to die and so as not to do bad things. The unnecessary fear that prevents us for reaching our goals is the bad one.

Serious question, as I don't want to cripple myself permanently: does having bad inner knee damage (never repaired by doctors) preclude training in bjj? I stay in shape other ways, and am pretty good at that. I'd love to start bjj, but fear an over-zealous training partner who would take out one of my knees permanently - which would mean that I wouldn't even ba able to do the things I do, now, to stay in shape.
You can do movements with a bad knee if torsion movements are kept out. Torsion is a very stressful effort on the ligaments of the knee. I also got a bad knee from cycling and took a karate course and was advised by the doc the same. BEST, talk to a doctor to get a good read on your condition before going further.
Thing is, some people train to fight, and then they WANT to test that training and will flip to throwing hands at the first opportunity. It depends on the individual I think...
Those toxic people never last long in the gyms, I met a few of these meatheads but once they sparred too hard with the wrong guy they took a beating and we never saw them again.
Imagine someone breaks into your house you slip up behind them get them in a rear naked choke while unconscious tie them to a chair sit down in a chair in front of them drinking coffee when they come to.
Can a martial art help to alleviate mental health and/or self-confidence issues even if it's not the roflstomping MMA but the good old traditions-filled karate/judo etc?
Echo, Jocko, Good morning It is very interesting your point. I got the idea of fear to some other items as illness, facing unexpected life events.

The love of the Great Spirit is revealed to those who will humble themselves to trust our Creator with gratitude for life and everything that makes life worth living. That is very reassuring and convincing, to know that the worst that the enemy can do is to kill me, but I know that the One Who gives life is also able to restore it, and has promised to do so. And if my life is not restored, then it won't matter to me anyway. The dead have no consciousness whatsoever, despite the horrendous lies of the church.
In addition along with knowing BJJ I think its. Helpful to have some basic grasp to know how react in medical emergencies know CPR etc. how to call the police etc. similar to the unique confidence police and military personnel have
Goodmorning Jocko I was hoping you could offer some advice for a hopeful army 68 whiskey? Thank you for everything and the peace you give to people.
I done my friend much heavily build and choke hold it worked
Good content.
Stand by to get some!!!!!
Bro when echocharles laughs I can’t 🤣😂💀💀
i love BJJ ive been taught by both john will and melissa will there both amazing teachers
Learning MMA is high on my to do list this year.
I can defend myself the boredom is killing me
The best move the black belts taught us in martial arts was to walk away.
"I still don't got it. Do it again." That usually means you are having fun if you love learning new things!
At this time 46k views and only a 180 comments. I have to admit I didn't read a single one. But I can conclude, this is a topic that's difficult. I have never specifically been successful in any fight that I've been in. But I have been challenged, and realizing that fear no matter where you're at conversation, physically, financially, can and will affect your ability to make the best rational decision even with pain as a possible best outcome. Fear doesn't allow you to make any rational decision, because fear is always perceptual. I have to constantly keep myself experiencing what is actually happening. And ask myself, what are my outcomes, and am I really working towards my best solutions versus trying to avoid my perceptual fears.
Two things in combination seems to reduce general fear that I've noticed, at least anecdotally: Pushing yourself physically harder than you want to be pushed.... and no jerking off, better yet, no nut at all for a week plus....that combination seems to remove a lot of fear in life for me...of a lot of shit! But I would imagine fighting, or Jiu Jitsu, is a great way to achieve part one of that equation.
Acknowledge that fear and do it.
Personally, I've never witnessed more widespread fear than I've witnessed in people over a cold virus. So much fear and panic out there that it feels like I'm living in an alternate reality (and I'm *old*)
I agree completely. I"ve lost a lot of respect for a lot of people. Scared rabbits. Lives have been too easy for too long. My dad was a combat veteran with the British army and a hard man, 2 uncles at Dunkirk, both grandpas in WW1. Can't believe how friggin soft people are now.
Jocko, I have short spouts of super high productivity followed by long ruts where I don’t feel like I can get out of and I dig myself into a hole. Do you have any advice on how to get out or prevent them.
He’d say the answer is discipline. If you need to write down your goals for the next day before you go to bed. If you fail at achieving those goals the next day punish yourself somehow. Or listen to his psychological warfare.
You could also be manic depressive. Not trying to be funny but your description sounds like that condition.
ESCAPES UP TREE LETS SAY JUST KNOW I WISH YOU MANY BLESSINGS
Jocko should touch on the topic of locking up or freezing in your mind
I have a head injury that left me with plates and screws and cannot get hit in the head again. Do you go easy when rolling with someone with similar injuries or do you show them what you got. I feel everybody is going easy on me now because of this. In my mind I’m going harder than ever because I don’t want to get clipped and injure my head again so I’m faster and more focused on the goal. Or am I misleading myself with people that aren’t giving me 100% anymore? Probably better questions to answer but I was just curious to know
Hey Jocko, If You will decide to run for President I am sure We will all vote for Ya.
We all get old. Time has a way of humbling all of us. When you’re elderly and bent up you’ll face reality .
My son's 7, been in BJJ here in Taiwan since he was 3. I tell him all the time, looking tough, acting tough, talking tough, walking tough, all that means shit, it's just scared guys that act like that. BEING tough is being tough.
I remember one saying from the film with Will Smith: "Risks may be real and you should be aware of them. But the fear is a choice."
It's not fear it's what you know what you can do
Any kind of training would wipeout fear.
All forms of fear detract from our ability to prosper in life.
Not all, fear is necessary so as not to die and so as not to do bad things. The unnecessary fear that prevents us for reaching our goals is the bad one.
You need to get Matt best on your show bro.🇺🇸
03:00: "Jocko White Tea"? What is it, master Willink? Do you have your own tea-brand, now? Is it possible to buy some (although delivery to France might be a problem, as of late), please?
What about guns what if I can’t deflect bullets should I fear them
MANY MORE AWAKENINGS IN ROUTE FOR ALL TO COME
"12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
I have victory over death. It holds no sting for me. Daily trials come to pass, but my Lord is with me always. I'm no warrior, but I am a man. I will stand for what is good. Regardless of the price it costs me. I hope that this sediment is shared by all who are true men, under the grace of God.

What better gentlemen to ask this question ? Being a jujutsu fighter as yourself jocko , i understand that fact that if they know your self defence skills and by knowing this society puts this wall of don't mess this guy because he'll kick your ass and now you have fear put out there against you,,, do you find people in general put this artificial behaviour towards you based on self defence skills, i hope my question makes sense, because I myself took up boxing and now I feel they have this fear towards me which makes me feel uncomfortable, you don't want that ,,,I want people to feel at ease, i once again I hope all this makes sense...Tony from Canada 🇨🇦
I ask again. Do Echo and/or Jocko ever change their shirts?
Do you ever ask smart questions?
What is a smart question?
They aren’t wearing shirts. They had the images tattooed onto their torsos.
@@moorbilt The question you ask for the answer you need.

Serious question, as I don't want to cripple myself permanently: does having bad inner knee damage (never repaired by doctors) preclude training in bjj? I stay in shape other ways, and am pretty good at that. I'd love to start bjj, but fear an over-zealous training partner who would take out one of my knees permanently - which would mean that I wouldn't even ba able to do the things I do, now, to stay in shape.
You can do movements with a bad knee if torsion movements are kept out. Torsion is a very stressful effort on the ligaments of the knee. I also got a bad knee from cycling and took a karate course and was advised by the doc the same. BEST, talk to a doctor to get a good read on your condition before going further.

Hope jocko gets Marcus luttrell on the podcast one day hell I'd even take it on joe Rogans but would much rather it be on here
11:43 Jocko "Actual Magic" Willink
7:53 You mean Joe Rogan?
i wonder if Blanka's based off BJJ in SF2.. the way he moves on all 4's, climbs on people and is from Brazil.. SF2 seems like its got kinda a BJJ vibe
Jocko's got kinda a Guile + MBison vibe
Win, lose or draw, I will make my adversary pay full retail.

Hey Jocko on another topic did you ever experience any paranormal Encounters in Afghanistan?
@Sam Stephens He's the one who scared the ghost, not the other way around
That’s an interesting question, what makes you ask that? Have other people had paranormal encounters while deployed?
@@nunz93 yeah, two of my buddies who are no longer with us. they were stationed at Abu ghraib prison.
And before you ask it's in Iraq.

Thing is, some people train to fight, and then they WANT to test that training and will flip to throwing hands at the first opportunity. It depends on the individual I think...
Those toxic people never last long in the gyms, I met a few of these meatheads but once they sparred too hard with the wrong guy they took a beating and we never saw them again.
Imagine someone breaks into your house you slip up behind them get them in a rear naked choke while unconscious tie them to a chair sit down in a chair in front of them drinking coffee when they come to.
No

Can a martial art help to alleviate mental health and/or self-confidence issues even if it's not the roflstomping MMA but the good old traditions-filled karate/judo etc?
Destroyer Inazuma he said judo is an effective martial art.
Anyone else struggle with anxiety over the past? Or fear over the theoretical? Haha
Daily bro
Fake diseases
Everyone does
Echo, Jocko,
Good morning
It is very interesting your point.
I got the idea of fear to some other items as illness, facing unexpected life events.
For example facing challenges where You are not well prepared for.
And I was thinking may be the complex idea of God and his powers to comfort You in those cases
Anyway it is a great video as always
