Me, as well, before I was in recovery I used to get in a lot of stupid bar fights, I wouldn't initiate them, but I'm short and not very built so was a way easy target for strip-mall martial arts experts, I don't know how many times I heard some variation of, "Dude, I've just gone right from zero to snap with no stops in-between, you don't understand dude, I've got a belt in , I'm gonna mess you up so bad, bruh...", all the while hoping I'd back down or some shit because their intimidation tactics had worked so well in the past x amount of times. But I never would, and I did get beat up a good number of times, too, don't get me wrong, I got some major ass-whuppings, but much more often than not it was usually moreso, bar empties out, everyone goes outside into some parking lot, square off, I'd pulled out my *very* basic two years of high school wrestling (which I was fucking terrible at BTW), shoot or sweep a foot, have them on the ground almost immediately before a punch even connects or was thrown, and then I wouldn't let them out of some basic but very painful hold until they'd yell for all to hear, "My cunt hurts, my cunt hurts!!" in front of a crowd of post-2 am drunks (preferably including their girlfriend/girlfriends), lol. It was mean and stupid of me to make them say that particular phrase, and honestly just not to walk away but I had a weak self-esteem and my pride fucked with my common sense, but I also wanted the experience to be humiliating enough that they'd think twice before picking on the little short twerps of the world like me again in the future, and having to yell out "My cunt hurts" in front of a couple of hundred people is a memorable wake-up call for any tough guy bully I'm sure... and maybe it's a rationalization for my lack of empathy, but in retrospect maybe, who know, it also may have saved a few of them from getting stabbed or shot or some shit later in life, lol, you never know who you're messing with just based on size or height or any outward appearance really. Even if you don't know how to throw a punch to save your life (I have zero skill in a stand-up fight, none whatsoever, other than ducking my head, lol), just a little bit of grappling knowledge and experience in competition where you actually need to learn controlled aggression and some technique, I'd put that up against someone who doesn't have any grappling (whether wrestling, judo, bjj) at all, but has such-and-such belt from spending endless hours on kata and/or whatever those dances are called per martial art, or was a high school bully, any day.
That actually happened to an old training buddy of mine (Thomas Schulte) in an MMA match in Denver back in the early 2000s. Thomas got him in an armbar, the guy panicked and bit the back of Thomas's leg and CRACK! - broken elbow (which looked nasty as hell, I still get queasy whenever I think about it), which he quickly tapped out to. Good job, genius, you still lost the fight and you get a bonus trip to the hospital.

+rainmechanic steven segal worked with some of the best mma fighters and is strictly aikido, as a cop he proved it works in real life on the street. Not all foreign martial art is nonsense. For example tai chi & shaolin kung fu, lots of circular movements which are the perfect defense against straight punches or strikes. The movements are made to re-direct energy aka qi and therefor save the user a lot of energy while exhausting the opponent. Any martial art when done by itself is a waste of time, however if you combine different martial arts then they are all useful. I learned lines from wing chun and now I apply that to my boxing, definitely improved my boxing. Same with muay thai mae mai & luk mai , I can apply those to my other styles such as shotokan karate. If you think in terms of training ranges & everything else, rather than styles you'll get better. E.g: learn defense first, than offense and then countering will be no problems. Learn your ranges such as punching range, kicking range, trapping range & grappling/ground range.
GrowingDownUnder except the shaolin monks have forgotten how to use their skills in real situations. It was born out of a need for such skills and was used on a regular basis in brutal, violent times. Now that they have no experience of constantly testing situations that would make their styles feasable in real situations, they are nowhere near what they should be. People back then actually learnt it with the purpose of using it, now they are similar in some ways to the dojo dwellers who never drift out of their safety zone to actually practise. The only thing that will be stronger about them is their minds and bodies. I could practice marksmanship for years with targets at the range, this doesn't mean i'm gonna be a dead on consistent killer in a real life or death situation where marksmanship will be needed.
+GrowingDownUnder "my other styles"? Really? The only thing growing down under here is the shit in your shorts. Try redirecting a stingray or crocodile's chi
The best defense is a concealed firearm. Situational awareness and avoidance are not "defense", they are just being aware of what is happening and running away before it does.

"I can stab eyes too. Only I can do it better or more accurate as well." That's a great quote for anyone who thinks fighters are untested because "it's a sport."
Eye stabbing is the reason even trained fighters don't want to get involved in a street fight, though. MMA rules still protect them from specific, particularly terrible injuries that even unskilled opponents might have a chance to inflict.
It's more like, all the common MMA grappling patterns fall apart when eye stabs are allowed Thai clinch? --> Eye gouge! Judo clinch? --> Eye gouge! Pull guard --> Eye gouge! A significant amount of what gets used in MMA falls apart when there aren't rules against eye gouging. It's not necessarily effective in a "real" fight in the first place.
It's not about winning or losing, I don't think in terms of winning or losing, although I have done MMA fighting, I don't consider myself an MMA fighter, I consider myself a martial artist The point is, I am someone who can do MMA, who has done informal MMA, who has ~21 years of training across several styles I'm not as good as Bas Rutten per se, but I know if I were, I would still have (roughly) the same vulnerabilities I would never want to go to the ground with a common civilian because they might gouge my eyes, better to de-escalate the situation nonviolently.
>> If you're mounted by a BJJ practitioner and you gouge their eye you are going to get choked, an arm broken, or ground and pounded. I am a BJJ practitioner, I know what they're capable of, and I must disagree >> If you are in the clinch of a Nak Muay and you try to gouge their eye you will get an elbow to the face and thrown to the ground. I know every Muay Thai technique in the curriculum and have done extensive (many years of) sparring, sometimes but not always contact sparring, no, I must disagree The point is that all fighting leads to injury. It's not about winning or losing, its about how even MMA fighters have a reason not to want to fight.
Plus, Bas is a black belt in actual Karate, so I think he could call bullshit pretty quickly. Especially when the guy says his style is some nonsense called "Street Karate".
@@spikefunakoshi5667 No, he did choke people out tho. But to break a neck you use techniques that are found in catch wrestling. You simply turn the head so the person looks to the left or to the right and then you push his head against his chest so that his ear touches his ribcage. It's extremely painful and it also prevents you from breathing. Also if you do it very explosive you break his neck. In the video Bas does the same thing only the other way around, he turns the head from behind and then pulls. It's a neckcrank and a neckbreaker for sure.
@@spikefunakoshi5667 What's your point. MMA is currently the most versatile combat sport there is and probably most MMA fighters would win against any other fighter who's on the same level but only practises only on one aspect (boxing,wrestling,taekwondo,etc). Also I'm not an MMA fan, I'm a fan of all styles of combat sports.
I ran into Bas in Washington one time. I don't know the guy. But based on a short conversation I had with him for around 15 minutes, he seems like one of the nicest guys around. He's extremely humble and has no problem shooting the sh*t with complete strangers. I have a lot of respect for the man.

You are sooooo cool! Hey Guys this dude is so tough he carries a gun!!!!! Wow. What a cool person! How many people have you shot with your 9mm? I bet a lot. Since you are so strong and manly and cool.
I trained with Joe many years ago in Boston and he’s correct the blind devotion that people gave to the TKD instructor was ridiculous when the schools loyalty to them was as deep as wallets.
@MrBrenman21 Mr. Miyagi would say "you've already lost the argument". In MMA, you're often trading brain damage for money. I understand when people need to feed their kids, etc. etc. But it's legit to say "all MMA", especially if the only way to you're going to try and disprove him is to post "what dickhead?", I think you've actually proved his point, you and the three dickheads who upvoted you.
Bas - ok do that to me. I'm going to attack you right now. Street karate dude - You have to be really angry for it to work. Bas - Kick me in the pills, believe me I'm going to be really angry. Funny as hell!
I can see bas and joe, even better... Dana White walk up to the next bullshit artist and bitch slap them. Thug: Man what? What you got? Bas: El Wa...Slap! Joe: Ohh World star! Dana: Hahahahaha! Holy Shit!
There are actually THREE real life places / things where pressure points and death touch works though. 1.Comic books / fictional books 2.Movies 3.Video Games :)
You really should discern betwen combat and underlying physiology - just visit physiotherpists, especialy one working with sportsmen. Then talk again about 'pressure points'.
I practiced Taekwondo for many many years, and one of the aspects that i loved more about it was that same reverence towards the upper belts. It taught me a lot about respect, restraint and how to behave and act towards other people. My master became like a second dad to me, and to this day i have the most respect for him. I believe that, when used correctly, that martial spirit that Taekwondo and other traditional martial arts strive to accomplish is a great help in the development of children and teens, even if it does seem a bit over the top to modern standards.
If there's one thing I've learned through the years from Bas, it's that to stop an attacker, nothing compares to a good, clean, hard liver kick. If you land it properly, your opponent will cease to be a badass in about 2 seconds and fall to the ground in a ball. My case in point, Alistair Overeem vs Brock Lesnar. Folded like an accordion, and that was Brock Goddamn Lesnar.
I think the cult thing is partly to do with a misinterpretation of Asian (especially Japanese) culture. I trained judo in Japan for a while and it's not remotely cultish. You bow in the same spirit with which you might slap hands: it's just the Japanese way of doing it. You are respectful to old-timers because that's normal behaviour in Japan. But ultimately judo training in Japan is just hard work. That's how you win medals.
@MrBrenman21 That's too much of a sweeping generalization. When I wrestled guys from the judo club were always challenging wrestlers to impromptu matches. I'd say the split was 50/50, it all came down to individual merit more than either discipline... and if BJJ was popular back then they have won every time, lol.
Those fake martial art classes are more for people who want to play kung-fu with others and have nothing to do with reality or competition they are more in line with a dance class
Yeah looking back on my time spent in classes like that (it's all I could find) you'd come across some very bizarre individuals who were aspey as fuck and consisted on a diet of too many Jackie Chan movies. Glad I got out
I train BJJ and Muay Thai. But I have to say, playing Kung Fu sounds kind of fun :P I might just have to start a Kung Fu LARP group on Sundays when I'm not training LOL!
the stories of so called "tough guys" breakin bad had me in tears. Leave it to a Dutchman to not only reveal the imposters but a top notch fighter as well.
I have a secret technique that Ba and Joe don't know about. It's the Jedi moukwi super fly technique. You can send a dynamic kinetic pulse over the internet to people and choke them out. I don't want to do it now though - as it wouldn't be fair on any of you.
The reason kung fu and similar martial arts aren't successful is these days people aren't willing to put in the work carrying water up stairs on a mountain and learning to fight blindfolded.
+Apocalypticresurgence So they made all that shit up way back when and have been conning everyone this whole time? No. The arts themselves are not ineffective in reality, to put it that way, though it shouldn't be put so simply. Any martial art is based in reality. They were all developed to actually use to actually fight, or defend oneself against someone wanting to fight (albeit in times/places where the average person they would have to fight was at best fighting with a similarly structured style) . Put the time and effort into training any of them and they will be as effective as they were intended, especially in the average self defense situation (most self defense situations do not involve an attacker who is a skilled BJJ practitioner for example). I'm not talking dim mak type shit here btw, just the overall actual martial art, whether it be kung fu or aikido or whatever else mma guys like to rip on. What DOES seem to be true is that some martial arts are far more effective in a 1 on 1 scenario against other martial arts (I specify 1 on 1 because in my opinion in a real street fight/self defense situation the ground is a bad place for a fight to go). BJJ and Muay Thai are the staples of "MMA" training for a reason: they work. Theres no doubt about that. I do think people who rip on traditional martial arts like kung fu like to ignore an important factor though which is the training itself. BJJ guys and MT guys tend to train hard. They tend to train a lot. The average kung fu or karate or whatever else school I can find in my city advertises classes being like 2 days a week for 2 hours, something like that. Also the BJJ/MT places tend to emphasize full contact sparring a lot more than other MAs. Thats a huge difference and it makes a huge difference. Put that kind of dedication into training any martial art and it will certainly be effective "in reality".
My daughter's BJJ instructor, Professor Arthur Ruff, was talking to his kids the other day as they were about to return to school. He told them that they could always try to walk away from bullies, because they knew things other kids didn't. He then said that sometimes you can't walk away and have to defend yourself. He told them that if they did end up fighting, their school would be upset with them, and their parents would be upset with them, but he would never be upset with them for fighting a bully. He then told them that if they used what they had learned to bully other kids, and he found out about it, that he would smash them on the mat so they could see what it felt like. Professor Ruff has trained under Carlson Gracie, Sr., and Luiz Carlos “Manimal” Dias, before earning his blackbelt udner Rodrigo Medeiros, but he is one of the most laid back and humble people I have ever met. He reminds me of Navy Seals I met when I was in the Navy. Professor Ruff knows that he can smash pretty much anybody, but knowing that, he doesn't try to smash anybody, his only concern is helping his students get better at BJJ. Everything is chill at Ruffhouse Jiu-jitsu, but one day some guy might try to mess with my daughter and find himself in a whole world of hurt.
When I hear these stories I cant help thinking of That 70's Show. Eric is just about to get into a fight with another kid. At the very last minute Donna leans in and says "By the way Eric, that karate death grip you do when we pretend fight doesn't really work".. "Wait? What? I was really counting on my death grip."
Years ago I got to learn the difference between the supermarket dojo crap (that I was already learning) and *real* self defence ie: the techniques they teach soldiers, prison guards and cops. It was a real eye opener! From that point on I stopped being a target for bullies and started being *actually* being able to protect myself.
Before I started martial arts I remember being in a weight lifting gym and the guy working there didn't look muscular, I remember him telling he wasn't into weights he was into boxing, so I asked him where does he train and he says I don't train like normal people I do a different kind of boxing (with a serious look at his face), so I'm like what kind of boxing, he says it has weapons in it and I can't talk about it. I left the gym and almost exploded with laughter becuase I knew this guy was full shit since the beginning
After the movie _Roadhouse_ I was amazed how many times in bars I would see guys in fights wind up with a big roundhouse _Karate_ kick- slip on some spilled liquid- and end up unconscious on the floor. It's like the dumbass' KO'ed _themselves._
faffaflunkie Why did you make it so that karate was italicized? You make it seem like karate roundhouses are bad when although generally not the most powerful nor fast, they are the most accurate and hard to guess because they travel in two directions rather than 1.
Soooo the amount of times is never, so u have never seen that. I have ceetainly never seen that. And with a racist anti Asian picture like that next to your name I'm guessing you haven't spent much time training n Asian martial arts either.
I remember doing the bowing in judo as a kid, but to us, it just signified that the fight had started, like the bell in boxing or the whistle in soccer.

Also I'm not an MMA fan, I'm a fan of all styles of combat sports.
@@spikefunakoshi5667 Not really.
@@spikefunakoshi5667 I don't see how any of that changes the fact that MMA fighters are the most versatile fighters around.
@@spikefunakoshi5667 So what are you saying? Carry a gun, preferably an automatic because you might be facing more than one opponent?
7:20 Rutten's neck break face is hilarious.
11:06
At 11:06 he looked like Stiffler 😄
Thank you for this I have replayed this so many times. 😂😂😂
Nashville Dude lol his head when he turns
I like you for noticing that.
Awesome interview Rogan. You and Bas should host the UFC together...good chemistry.
Kenny Tenny bald power
With Dom Cruz doing analysis. Perfect casting combination
Bas has great chemistry with everyone
Awesome
They should fight
One of my favorite JRE's of all time. Such a cool guy!
"Never mess with someone who has a dominant position over you" is not an opinion, thats a fact. Thank you Bas, you the man!
Unless you pay her upfront and you have a safeword.....
@@lrmcatspaw1 haha😁
I had ninjas coming into my class, one time.......🤣
Jesus christ! I just read this as he said it! I'm also baked. So this damn near broke me. Thank you random person, you've just made my day. 😊
Fuckin love how he says it all nonchalantly!
When people started lying about being in Vietnam,we called them "green beret ninja seals".
My Army hand to hand taught me to carry more ammo!Lol
@37 pirate unless your BJ penn he got his black belt in 2 but he is one of those people who are natruals at it.
"I had ninjas coming to my class one time" best line ever!
Bas Ruten is the coolest guy - until he liver punches you, then he becomes an absolute killer
@Zain844 you are taking this way to serious
Zain844 you seem to be the one living in a Hollywood movie your straight up talking out ur ass
I ran into Bas in Washington one time. I don't know the guy. But based on a short conversation I had with him for around 15 minutes, he seems like one of the nicest guys around. He's extremely humble and has no problem shooting the sh*t with complete strangers. I have a lot of respect for the man.
"I go blank and the bodies start falling" joe, you had me laughing so hard bro! we have All heard that one before from the "street fighter" types
Man I literally heard that said so many times , its usually followed by "I come to and I'm covered in blood..there blood " hahahah
“You touch my eye I am gonna break your neck......wait, what?” That was a funny face expression of Bas around 7:20
This is one of my favourite videos on the internet. Seriously. The number of times we listened to these stories and laughed our asses off...
Bas: it’s really hard to poke an eye
Jon Jone: hold my pico gramme
Sarmax hold my cocaine *
Big Tuss lmao he has cocaine under his fingernails so those eye pokes are extra lethal.
I think Bas meant from a rear position. haha
@@samomico9536 cocaine is an anesthetic. It is Schedule II in the US because it has this legitimate use (in dentistry, mostly). So, that wouldn't work! lol
'Street' Karate is actually a concealed Glock 9mm ;). works every time
aaronrus “Trigger Thai Chi!”😂
pussy
Ohhh
.that idiot comment again
You are sooooo cool! Hey Guys this dude is so tough he carries a gun!!!!! Wow. What a cool person! How many people have you shot with your 9mm? I bet a lot. Since you are so strong and manly and cool.
Fighting with hands is for kids I'd rather shoot someone
Did Epstein try to poke Bas in the eye?
Didn't work out for him. 🤩
Now we know he didn’t kill himself
Butch Swim Productions trying to poke Bas in the eye is practically that tho
😆😓🤣
Browneye
Bas “I had ninjas coming into my class one time” Rutten
I trained with Joe many years ago in Boston and he’s correct the blind devotion that people gave to the TKD instructor was ridiculous when the schools loyalty to them was as deep as wallets.
All MMA
It's a natural thing with people we all look towards a leader. It's just a matter of Who Your Leader is.
@MrBrenman21 Mr. Miyagi would say "you've already lost the argument". In MMA, you're often trading brain damage for money. I understand when people need to feed their kids, etc. etc. But it's legit to say "all MMA", especially if the only way to you're going to try and disprove him is to post "what dickhead?", I think you've actually proved his point, you and the three dickheads who upvoted you.
Bas - ok do that to me. I'm going to attack you right now.
Street karate dude - You have to be really angry for it to work.
Bas - Kick me in the pills, believe me I'm going to be really angry.
Funny as hell!
I have heard Bas tell that story several times, it is still funny, every time.
Bas is a Boss!
“Kick me in the pills!!”
I fucking died
Actually lol'd here. And that's not often from watching videos
I can see bas and joe, even better... Dana White walk up to the next bullshit artist and bitch slap them.
Thug: Man what? What you got?
Bas: El Wa...Slap!
Joe: Ohh World star!
Dana: Hahahahaha! Holy Shit!
There are actually THREE real life places / things where pressure points and death touch works though.
1.Comic books / fictional books
2.Movies
3.Video Games
:)
You really should discern betwen combat and underlying physiology - just visit physiotherpists, especialy one working with sportsmen. Then talk again about 'pressure points'.
Bas is the man. I want to hear that Eddie Bravo story Joe was going to talk about at the end.
I practiced Taekwondo for many many years, and one of the aspects that i loved more about it was that same reverence towards the upper belts. It taught me a lot about respect, restraint and how to behave and act towards other people. My master became like a second dad to me, and to this day i have the most respect for him. I believe that, when used correctly, that martial spirit that Taekwondo and other traditional martial arts strive to accomplish is a great help in the development of children and teens, even if it does seem a bit over the top to modern standards.
You have a pure mentality of respect and understanding of the art
I LOVE Bas's direct way of speaking. Having him and Joe is gold. Every. Fucking. Time.
You should bring Bas on more often. I always enjoy hearing his stories.
If there's one thing I've learned through the years from Bas, it's that to stop an attacker, nothing compares to a good, clean, hard liver kick. If you land it properly, your opponent will cease to be a badass in about 2 seconds and fall to the ground in a ball. My case in point, Alistair Overeem vs Brock Lesnar. Folded like an accordion, and that was Brock Goddamn Lesnar.
All true statements. also Mosixman Your friend sounds like a real dickbag.
Doesn't Brock always fold when hit?
Axe Battler uh.....no. did you not see the championship fight with shane carwin?
I think kicking to the nut is the way to go for self defence.
Could someone tell me what Bas grappling style is? I know he speaks highly of BJJ but I was under the impression that he practice Catch Wrestling.
I could listen to Bas all day long!
I've seen this video at least 10 times over the years... it never gets old
Bas is such a legend. He is full of class and can kick some ass.
Bellator needs Bas Rutten!
Leroi LaPue he would also make a good comedian
I think the cult thing is partly to do with a misinterpretation of Asian (especially Japanese) culture. I trained judo in Japan for a while and it's not remotely cultish. You bow in the same spirit with which you might slap hands: it's just the Japanese way of doing it. You are respectful to old-timers because that's normal behaviour in Japan. But ultimately judo training in Japan is just hard work. That's how you win medals.
But Judo is a legit sport. The stuff they're talking about is not.
@@gordonlove5121 but I don't think all of it is from the sensei's, you have to have your mind open to follow people like that for it to work.
@E. Trano They probably were living in Japan and trained there, you moron.
You’re
@MrBrenman21 That's too much of a sweeping generalization. When I wrestled guys from the judo club were always challenging wrestlers to impromptu matches. I'd say the split was 50/50, it all came down to individual merit more than either discipline... and if BJJ was popular back then they have won every time, lol.
I want Bas Rutten in a Guy Ritchy movie. He would be a great actor
Hey from the future
“Nah, you’ve never did that” kills me every time
I've watched this clip so many times. Hilarious every time I watch it.
7:21 😂😂😂😂😂 oh my god I'm in tears had to replay that bit a few times
"Okay, in three seconds I'm going to go, if you touch my eye I'm going to break your neck." - Bas Rutten
Those fake martial art classes are more for people who want to play kung-fu with others and have nothing to do with reality or competition they are more in line with a dance class
Yeah looking back on my time spent in classes like that (it's all I could find) you'd come across some very bizarre individuals who were aspey as fuck and consisted on a diet of too many Jackie Chan movies. Glad I got out
I train BJJ and Muay Thai. But I have to say, playing Kung Fu sounds kind of fun :P I might just have to start a Kung Fu LARP group on Sundays when I'm not training LOL!
The Abominable Snowman Bring sunglasses, a trench coat, and a serious demeanour
Downsyndrome Hitler ballet dancers work hard unlike those guys
Fuck no, at least dance class will get you laid.
Bas Rutten... Is Total Dutch Coolness...!!!
I watch this vid every once in a while just for the lols. Those 2 are hilarious together.
This made me re watch the episode.
“I couldn’t fight mma......I’d get mad and hurt somebody.”
Bas Ruten is the shit. My favorite JRE podcast.
the stories of so called "tough guys" breakin bad had me in tears. Leave it to a Dutchman to not only reveal the imposters but a top notch fighter as well.
Bas and Joe are 2 of the most entertaining and down to earth guys on earth.
Bad semi-broken English makes his humor even better. Most Dutch and even German people speak perfect English like Bas does. He's just perfect at it.
Dutch come from the English
Dutch and German are two completely different languages.
His English is actually really good.
I'm at the Dutch come from the German know they're not completely different
@@mikenuzzo3323 English come from Dutch as the Dutch language is way older. And Dutch comes from German and Frisian as they are older then Dutch.
Bas has to be one of my favorite people in the world, lol.....no b.s., no bravado......he just tells it like it is...and can back it up.
I have a secret technique that Ba and Joe don't know about. It's the Jedi moukwi super fly technique. You can send a dynamic kinetic pulse over the internet to people and choke them out. I don't want to do it now though - as it wouldn't be fair on any of you.
You could try it on me, but currently I'm not angry enough for it to work. Kick me in the pills then do it :D
Thank you for sparing me
Thanks dude
Teach me, sensei.
Take me to your dealer
This guy is the real deal. Walks the walk and talks the talk. 👏🏻👏🏻
I laughed so hard when the dude went. "Ah my eye hurts" 😂😂
The reason kung fu and similar martial arts aren't successful is these days people aren't willing to put in the work carrying water up stairs on a mountain and learning to fight blindfolded.
mrrusss no
mrrusss Well played.
+mrrusss More because they've been proven ineffective in reality
+mrrusss Guys joking, it's fucking funny
+Apocalypticresurgence So they made all that shit up way back when and have been conning everyone this whole time? No. The arts themselves are not ineffective in reality, to put it that way, though it shouldn't be put so simply. Any martial art is based in reality. They were all developed to actually use to actually fight, or defend oneself against someone wanting to fight (albeit in times/places where the average person they would have to fight was at best fighting with a similarly structured style) . Put the time and effort into training any of them and they will be as effective as they were intended, especially in the average self defense situation (most self defense situations do not involve an attacker who is a skilled BJJ practitioner for example). I'm not talking dim mak type shit here btw, just the overall actual martial art, whether it be kung fu or aikido or whatever else mma guys like to rip on. What DOES seem to be true is that some martial arts are far more effective in a 1 on 1 scenario against other martial arts (I specify 1 on 1 because in my opinion in a real street fight/self defense situation the ground is a bad place for a fight to go). BJJ and Muay Thai are the staples of "MMA" training for a reason: they work. Theres no doubt about that. I do think people who rip on traditional martial arts like kung fu like to ignore an important factor though which is the training itself. BJJ guys and MT guys tend to train hard. They tend to train a lot. The average kung fu or karate or whatever else school I can find in my city advertises classes being like 2 days a week for 2 hours, something like that. Also the BJJ/MT places tend to emphasize full contact sparring a lot more than other MAs. Thats a huge difference and it makes a huge difference. Put that kind of dedication into training any martial art and it will certainly be effective "in reality".
"you know how hard it is to poke an eye?" I dunno, Jon Jones is pretty damn good at it.
yeah but you need a ton of coke to be like Jon
Hes 100 % my favorite person ever on the podcast!! Lol
I love Bas's mentality, "experience pays."
My daughter's BJJ instructor, Professor Arthur Ruff, was talking to his kids the other day as they were about to return to school. He told them that they could always try to walk away from bullies, because they knew things other kids didn't. He then said that sometimes you can't walk away and have to defend yourself. He told them that if they did end up fighting, their school would be upset with them, and their parents would be upset with them, but he would never be upset with them for fighting a bully. He then told them that if they used what they had learned to bully other kids, and he found out about it, that he would smash them on the mat so they could see what it felt like.
Professor Ruff has trained under Carlson Gracie, Sr., and Luiz Carlos “Manimal” Dias, before earning his blackbelt udner Rodrigo Medeiros, but he is one of the most laid back and humble people I have ever met. He reminds me of Navy Seals I met when I was in the Navy. Professor Ruff knows that he can smash pretty much anybody, but knowing that, he doesn't try to smash anybody, his only concern is helping his students get better at BJJ. Everything is chill at Ruffhouse Jiu-jitsu, but one day some guy might try to mess with my daughter and find himself in a whole world of hurt.
Bas is a one of a kind tough guy lol i could listen to him for days.
When I hear these stories I cant help thinking of That 70's Show. Eric is just about to get into a fight with another kid. At the very last minute Donna leans in and says "By the way Eric, that karate death grip you do when we pretend fight doesn't really work".. "Wait? What? I was really counting on my death grip."
Bas is a great stroy teller, you could listen to him talk about shit all day
Years ago I got to learn the difference between the supermarket dojo crap (that I was already learning) and *real* self defence ie: the techniques they teach soldiers, prison guards and cops.
It was a real eye opener!
From that point on I stopped being a target for bullies and started being *actually* being able to protect myself.
I always enjoy listening to Bas life expectancies.
Before I started martial arts I remember being in a weight lifting gym and the guy working there didn't look muscular, I remember him telling he wasn't into weights he was into boxing, so I asked him where does he train and he says I don't train like normal people I do a different kind of boxing (with a serious look at his face), so I'm like what kind of boxing, he says it has weapons in it and I can't talk about it.
I left the gym and almost exploded with laughter becuase I knew this guy was full shit since the beginning
After the movie _Roadhouse_ I was amazed how many times in bars I would see guys in fights wind up with a big roundhouse _Karate_ kick- slip on some spilled liquid- and end up unconscious on the floor. It's like the dumbass' KO'ed _themselves._
faffaflunkie That's hilarious lmaoo I could picture some fat fuck trying to do a roundhouse kick and falling right on his fat ass 😂
faffaflunkie
Why did you make it so that karate was italicized? You make it seem like karate roundhouses are bad when although generally not the most powerful nor fast, they are the most accurate and hard to guess because they travel in two directions rather than 1.
faffaflunkie how many times was it, how many times that you actually saw that and they literally knocked themselves unconcious ?
Soooo the amount of times is never, so u have never seen that. I have ceetainly never seen that. And with a racist anti Asian picture like that next to your name I'm guessing you haven't spent much time training n Asian martial arts either.
ill throw a sliding high kick on KY dipped silk sheets boy
"You see everyone at the MMA Gym tapped me out and beat me in striking but in a real fight..."
Bas is a lot of fun to listen to. Very engaging guy with great stories.
I can't even express how much I enjoy watching Bas. What an absolute legend!
Bring back Bas!!!
bas ruten has the best stories Lmfao. his faces make it better
Joe's Machado impression is spot on
I remember doing the bowing in judo as a kid, but to us, it just signified that the fight had started, like the bell in boxing or the whistle in soccer.
Bas needs to write a book of stories!
anyone know about eddie bravo's knife story? i can't find it anywhere :/
swish007 i think he talks about the story eddie tells in jiu jitsu unleashed where he talks about hes karate lessons and how he almost got into a fight with a big strong guy confident he could beat him woth his overhand knife strike
Watch Joe Rogan Experience 335, the last 15 minutes. This part is from that episode with Bas Rutten.
"Kick me in the pills then I'll be real pissed" great line, could not stop laughing
I fucking love Bas.
I could listen to bas tell stories for days on end.
My routine also saved me many times. It consists in not getting into fights in the first place.
My brother was a big believer in "bar room" karate.
Body Action System.
If I had to choose between Jon Jones, Mike Tyson, and Bas Ruten to help me in a bar fight, I'm always taking Bas Ruten lmao
Nah I'm taking Mike EVERY time
Jon jones not who you would want in a street fight dc probably would do more damage even though we know how the head to head match up went
@Sock Cucka yeah, you're right. But Bas Ruten is still an animal
machineunit Mike is a monster, but Bas also made a bunch of TH-cam videos about how to use bar equipment in scraps... no way you could go wrong with either
I'll go w Bas. He has real bar fight experience and good luck if you take him to the ground. This is assuming these guys are in their prime.
love both these gems!
Both of you guys are the best!!
