Paul Vunak, wow! It's been years since I've seen any new content featuring this legend. I've started my martial arts journey thanks to his amazing old school instructional videos.
Stay out of the bar then you don't have to worry about it. Be smart have wisdom. Now that's true wisdom. And carry no chip on your shoulder. And feeling that you have to use fighting skills just cuz you know.them. and feeling you have to challenge back. And then you're truly always ready. And most of all carry love in your heart and your body and you will win all battles. If you truly understand . You will lose none. And worry none about the street and fighting.
No adult should be fighting. But sometimes you find yourself at the wrong place and at the wrong time. Bars are not the only place people end up in combat with nefarious types
@@davefletch3063 true. Happened once when I was shopping for food even. But I'm peaceful always. But when I was younger I always felt like I had to be prepared when I was in the martial arts no matter where I went. Now 60 that was the immature me thinking you had to always be ready for a fight. I mean the art is great the training is awesome but don't don't think you have to use it just love the art of it and the philosophy because the philosophy works in anything through life and there's a lot of other stuff great things in life to do
I'm a competition shooter, always carry a 9mm, martial artist and carry a pop open karambit. I stay aware but do the best to protect myself and loved ones.
@@johnreidy2804 preparation isn’t paranoia, friend. I have car insurance and don’t plan to cause an accident. I have a fire extinguisher but don’t intend on starting a fire. Better to have the tools and skills and never need them than to need them and not have them.
@@jedijudoka I agree buying the proper amount of insurance is a smart thing. According to your comparison Bill should purchase some personal injury insurance
@@johnreidy2804 the problem with that, though, is that liability insurance can only help after you’re injured or killed. Knowing martial arts allows you a good chance of stopping an unarmed attacker and concealing a weapon allows you to nullify a deadly threat, quite possibly without incurring any injuries yourself.
@@jedijudoka i meant get a policy that covers a person that is injured because of mister paranoid. One more point friend, no one actually wins a fight, not a bad one. One goes to the hospital and the other to jail to face not only criminal charges but later on civil charges. The best way to avoid a fight is to not be at certain places at certain times. But it takes maturity to realize that. Many who study the martial arts are young and have more testosterone than brains. No offense intended
My Akido sensai (a wasted solid year of my martial arts journey) is eriely similar to this guy turned down to a 7. OBTW stay out of beer joints and you won't get into any fights at the beer joint. Rock solid wisdom. I have zero use for alcohol or those who consume it.
@@chestermosburger3113 Don't be sorry. My uncle died from the bottle, my half sister was killed in a head on collision from a drunk driver, my wife's dad drank himself to death as well. Scarred her for life. So, please don't be sorry.
@@davejones2180 I don't see him as fake at all. Also, I go by what they say, do they make sense in the real world? There are tons of fakes out there but I want reality. All this crazy stuff if a person throws a punch like this then you do that is crap. People act as if there are no hidden weapons or their only focus is the person in front of them. I try to look at all that can happen and then you have the legal aspects of it all. One thing I don't care for is too much focus on empty-handed fighting. Certainly a huge majority of the time if a person is aware of their surroundings, they should have 'tools' of various sorts that can come to action FAST! It's silly to use empty-handed fighting when a person could have been much more prepared.
What's with the congo Paul??? Are we going to put the hands down and play Kumbaya? Great practitioner and instructor. All the best! Great to see Paul still in action.
2 min in I thought it was a joke. By the end I realized it was some sound advice. I just feel like it’s all something everyone knows they just won’t be able to use when the situation arises. After all, practice makes perfect
If I cant control the dynamics of the environment then I only have one proactive move. Leave. I have been in bars as a young man and just looked around and said to myself, in two hours and five beers from now 2/3 of these dudes will have transformed from their mellow low key initial presentation. Leave

@@alfonsogonzalestoribio1754 Back in his younger years, he was notorious for getting into many many fights... I don't remember if it's in this video or another where he explained that it happened every week, in bars, he would participate in brawls.
The message in this video about the reality of fighting is legitimate and this guy's feedback is great. But the part where he said hes been in 200 fights has me thinking... which most of them are unorganized fights also known as street fights. What's this guy doing going around picking fights or something or not walking away from Potential high Risk situations or conflict? As a fighter you keep track of profights but not street fights... By then 2 you'd have a lot of battle scars on your face cause nobody's untouchable. Think about that...
Look at his nose. One side is crooked because he got slashed in the nostril with a knife. He’s been around since the late 70/ early 80s. In his youth he fought a lot to test what they were learning at the Inosanto Academy. Everyone knows about Vunak’s background.
@@kumar7586 You obviously don’t know a lot about Vunak and his history. He was pretty well known in the 80s and 90s for being a “bad@SS street fighter” as you say.
@@williamsmith8790 What is the criteria for being a competent street fighter? A boxer or MMA fighter has a track record of wins, losses and draws. HOW do you determine how good someone is at street fighting?

Please provide proof - newspaper reports of his so-called street fights from the 1970s and 1980s. TWO HUNDRED street fights? Even the most superficial forensic analysis shows that there is no manner in which any street fighter could have fought so many fights without ANY serious injury (except for a broken nose). 😀🤣🤪😜
@@kumar7586 No, no, Red Herring, that’s not what I said at all. I would be surprised if any top level, professional fighter wouldn’t competently defend himself in a self defense situation. But, what “internet gurus” insinuate is that unless one is a UFC world champion at their respective weight they can’t adequately defend themselves. If that is the standard then every MMA and BJJ gym in the US should close up shop or be be sued for fraud because most of their clientele will never compete, much less be a UFC champ. And most of those people are at those martial arts schools paying good money under the belief that they will be able to defend themselves in the street. Are they wrong? As to taking damage, I was a bouncer for several years in my early twenties. I was in dozens of altercations that came to blows, had weapons involved, multiple people on both sides, etc. Not counting push, pulling, or dragging people out of the club that didn’t require any striking; that accounts for dozens more. In that five year period I had one black eye, a boxers fracture, slashed in the hand once, cut knuckles on a guys teeth, and some stitches from getting clubbed in the back of the head while I was tied up with someone else. That was getting into at least one to two physical altercations a week. Very little damage. Only thing that even kept me out of work or training was the boxers fracture. As far as jail, only once and those charges were dismissed. Real violence is not very similar to the ring, which I fought in as well, and is more one person doing violence to someone else vice two persons doing violence with each other. I don’t know if Vunak has any newspaper clippings of his street fights. Google him. He has fans and haters, and there are plenty of opinions on him. Matt Thornton of SBG doesn’t like him, but Rickson and Royce had a high opinion of him back in the day.
Why? The dude is in his 60s and not too bad really. He probably has some injuries from training when he was younger. His famous videos when he could move lightening fast are decades old.
I am calling on him to HOLD HIMSELF ACCOUNTABLE as a martial artist. VU I know you are a genius and your brain doesn't shut off. The stimulants only open it up more. I know. I have the same problem. BUT PLEASE brother, please keep fighting. Lots of people respect you, just look at these comments! I am 100% behind you getting active and teaching again, but I am not going to let a fellow addict slide when I see one.
Fair play here, you defending yourself in a bar with a blade is going to be hard to explain to a jury. Plus we have cameras every square inch including the walk in's. The exception is the bathrooms, lol,. These videos can easily be subpoenaed by law enforcement if I refuse to give it to them on the spot. RUN from a bar fight in 2023. Cameras are everywhere. Screw your ego, get out of dodge!
is there a sparing video of vunak somewhere? all i see are always bad attacks and unrealistic counters, incomprehensible that it is so celebrated. and yes i am better
U should always do ur best to avoid BS( And i mean unnecessary arguments that lead to a confrontation &usually it's a clash of ego's!) It's just not worth getting all worked up for nothing over a stranger! But if a situation is going down,u see someone being attacked or Robbed..Then Hit hard&fast &aim to immobilize them as fast as possible,so u dont f##k around! Because In the street there's no MMA rules or Refs!
The more fantastic the stories of his street fights, the more people believe him! Psychology! People always fall for such guys. There is another channel, Budo Brothers. There, the guy is far more realistic. He shows you how to ESCAPE from multiple attackers. But then, look at the views Budo Brothers gets. Not even ten percent of FightFast! Who wants to watch boring reality? Most people would rather watch fantasy.
So glad I started studying AIKIDO. I still train JKD. Just as much. Still have the killer instinct. But it’s Kari Dori. To control my attackers Spirit. Not to destroy it. And now I have to kill him.
Brown belt in what? BJJ? So you don’t know how to stand up and fight. I wouldn’t let you take me to the ground. A guy once had me in a standing arm bar threatening to break my arm, he released me when I almost mutilated him. I won’t say what I did, but just know BJJ doesn’t prepare you for someone that really knows how to fight.
Very true, 99% of fights can be avoided by your choices of where to spend your time. Unfortunately for some folks, the neighborhood they live in or have to work in are rough, by no choice of their own they are put in dangerous situations and need solutions that work.
