You should never want to fight because the human body is extremely fragile and just the wrong hit at the wrong angle could potentially harm someone greatly or end their existence. The consequences of fighting another person outweigh the supposed benefits of saying you were right or just proving anything. The potential of great harm to another person in a fight is ever present and one should strive to avoid that conflict because it is deadly, and the preservation of life is far more important.
"Martial Artists are respectful". Yes because we've been in enough fights/matches to know that.... 1) there is always someone badder 2) anything can happen 3) they know what they're capable of and don't want to hurt someone 4) no need to prove anything 5) doesn't want to go to jail
Mocking other martial arts can also come from ignorance instead of jealousy. The point stands though, that mocking other martial arts is typically a sign of someone who is either inexperienced or arrogant in their own art.
I'd say I'm one of em. My dojo I'd say is a mcdojo but i still train there, cause i have friends there so I'm just waiting till i can dip. It also is the place I started and even though... Yeah it's definitely mostly a self improvement. Like my bff who's been here longer and is a belt higher can't do a proper roundhouse kick, but a student i myself decided to teach proper technique somehow learned it faster. I learned how to fight yeah, i also joined our schools taekwondo after a year in karate and i was already better than alot of them. And next month I'm joining a muay thai gym. Soooo hey, started from a mcdojo but that mcdojo gave me the start. And heck for a year in a mcdojo? I managed to do entire flying kicks in a few months.
One thing that also gets misinterpreted in fighting, is that people who aren't trained to fight can't mess you up. But they absolutely can. Fighting is in our natural instincts, and even an inexperienced street fighter could end up accidentally killing someone. I'm not saying this to justify me not being trained, but I'm saying this because i feel like some people think that people who didn't train fighting are as threatening as a Punching bag. Cause damn, we could literally die to anything. A slight trip and we die, we slip and die, a wasp stings us and we die...
This is actually almost a running joke in the dojo I go to We all prefer fighting the experts than the beginners. The experts can tech you, the beginners just flail and though they may get a hit in, it's not fun for anyone because they both get hurt. In a fight, no matter how trained you are, you will get hurt, hence why running is always the best option

Trash talkers are just trolls, and how you deal with them depends on the individual. Over my 35-year career in security, I've been in my fair share of street altercations, though I've always believed fighting should be the last resort when no other option is available. I’ve had people tell me they “see red” or claim they “black out” during a fight. Once, I replied, “You black out? Before I even hit you? It’s Christmas!” That said, I avoid fighting unless I’m on the job or in the ring getting paid for it. There’s too much risk these days-too many knives and people trying to make a name for themselves over nothing. Plus, as an artist, a broken hand or finger could cost me my livelihood. It's far better to mirror and reflect, then defuse the situation when possible. As for my background, I’m a Muay Thai practitioner who fought in Asia during the ’90s. I moved to the USA in 2002 from Plymouth, England, and started training in BJJ. I've stuck with it ever since. Experience, training, and discipline are invaluable tools in life, often as important as the physical techniques themselves. Knowledge is Power
Even the 'winners' of fights get hurt, and who wants to be hurt. Very risky to even get in any fight, especially if you don't know the level of skill of your opponent.
Exactly. Even if you come out unscathed so much can go wrong and cause you problems down the line. The other guy could fall back and crack his head open. Now you're looking at murder/manslaughter charges. He survives? He might successfully spin it as you assaulting him. Most things aren't worth criminal charges or civil suits. Don't fight unless you have no other options.
It's always funny when they say "I see red when I get angry" basically they have no control of their body and also they can't see because they ruptured their own blood vessels to the eye.
Given so many people have piercings, long hair, pants hanging low, and other bullshit, the average "threat" you'd encounter already defeated themselves for you. They come at you with so many handicaps it's stupid.
I've never been in an aggressive situation where my opponent has ever uttered the words "I SEE RED", that would just make me laugh. I have found that those that bark the loudest usually can't fight sleep. For example, idiots that posture, throw their arms wide and pace back and forwards and shout threats and profanity are basically screaming "I AM SCARED AND DON'T WANT TO FIGHT", it's just a bear scaring tactic. Lastly, if you are untrained and a fight is inevitable.....fight dirty, bite, gouge, eye-poke etc.....either that or run. :)
I've had to get in a few scuffles but I agree 100% . Spit, gouge, bite, grab twist and pull. I had some scrote threatening to stab me, right hand behind his back, a couple of years ago but a simple left jab bust his nose and I walked off. I'm not trained in martial arts apart from a bit of boxing and krav maga. I know I'd get destroyed in a serious fight so just avoid the idiots. However the silly boy threatening me with 'you're going to die tonight bro' nonsense, he's lucky he only got a jab.
I was bullied at school and at some point I decided to do freestyle wrestling. All my bullies were physically stronger than me and often fought. When they found out that I was doing wrestling, they spent a lot of effort on the fact that "your wrestling won't help you", "what can you do with your wrestling, hug men while lying down?", "I'll knock you out with one punch" and all that stuff. After a couple of years, I was confident enough to fight back. None of my bullies were doing martial arts. Literally in half a year, my bullies became my "buddies", of course, after they felt for themselves that they could get a serious fight back. It was easy. They were still physically stronger than me, but doing martial arts gives you an incomparable advantage. They demonstrated all the signs from this video, although for a long time their "show-off" worked for me 100%.
I agree, and insecurity speaks loud in these cases. You can usually tell when someone can’t actually fight if they’re always talking about it-bragging about who they could “beat up” or “would beat up,” only to act completely pleasant when that person shows up. The same goes for people who constantly talk about how they used to be a monster back in the day, but only when they were younger. It all comes off as overcompensation.
All your talking about "seeing red" made me realise that I never actually fought a real fighter in my moments of rage during my youth. Thank you for making me realize that. (Today, as for the last decade, I aim to avoid fights)
As a muay thai fighter, I find taekwondo to be one of the coolest martial arts! I love their kicks, and most taekwondo fighters I've fought were all great all around strikers, their punches were actually really good
If they claim they can perform a "Touchless Knockout" or if they say they know "The Secret Ninja Death Touch" or can use "Chi Blasts", that person can't fight. At all.
I know a specific person who thinks they could beat anyone in a fight and goes around saying “oh certain martial arts are useless” or “you don’t do martial arts because you won’t show the moves” or even lying about being in the same building I am when I take martial arts lessons and not seeing me and all the reasons you just pointed out came into play with this person I’m talking about
I spent the best part of 40 years learning many styles of martial arts, and I'm a passivist. I've been hot by many random people, and it's amazing how bad a lot of them feel when you just cower and walk away. However, on 2 occasions my training saved my life. Those who fight for survival are the strongest
I respectfully disagree on your points. I would say this is more a list of things showing that someone is not trained. But not being trained and not being able to fight are 2 different things. People, especially some martial artists, tend to look down at people who are not trained. This is a mistake. The will to do violence and past experience of being violent are dangerous combinations. People like this may not have formal training and may be seen as brutes, however they are committed to hurting someone any way they can and that’s nothing to overlook. Martial arts are good. I like them. But they can and have been beaten by untrained individuals. If you look at the first UFC and NHB competitions of the early days, there were many a street fighters, who beat trained individuals. These men were strong and violent. While the martial arts are a great tool to beat individuals like these, I fear the sentiment that videos like these put out; of forgetting the past lessons on not so distant history.
I would definitely say that in the case of somebody who is possibly manic, pretty large, strong or all of the above then theres a good chance that could definitely kick somebodies ass and it very well quite likely may not even matter what martial art somebody trained and if somebody like that starts yelling things at you like "I'm going to kick your ass and your martial art won't work on me" then it's quite likely that they are absolutely right unless your quite big and or strong as well.
I do Muay Thai but i have quite a lot of respect for other martial arts like karate or Taekwondo for instance. I feel like they have some very rapid and quick movements which i really respect
Best fights are the ones you avoid. I hate fighting. I’m thinking about getting back into martial arts simply, to stay in shape. I remember coming home with a gi soaked with sweat…
I think you're pretty spot on for the most part. But there are the rare cases where a person will have been in many street altercations even though they didn't want to. I was homeless in a small town, where calling 911 or trying to run away doesn't work. It's because you'd get beat up before help arrives, and nobody will be caught, and since it's a small place, enemies will ALWAYS find you later. I had no choice but to fend for myself, plus avoid ever calling 911 because people would just come get you later, again. So I have been in a lot of street altercations. But I don't go around telling people all the time. (I'm only putting it here because it's relevant)
They are tough when a crowd is watching, but back down when alone. Seen alot of this when I worked security at bars. Guys that make a scene and need everyone to have attention on them are the same ones that when the guy they tried to punk out approaches them alone in the restroom or parking lot; fold. Those guys fold. The guys that are real trouble don't want witnesses.
After wrestling in high school, I became easily 10X more "fight avoidant". I learned in the end, it doesn't really matter how skilled you are, any dog can have his day and get lucky in a fight. Fights are so, so unpredictable. Wrestling made me see this.
I agree. One of the biggest telltale signs for me that someone can’t actually fight is if they’re always talking about it. Every other conversation is about who they could “beat up” or “would beat up,” but when that person shows up, they’re as pleasant as can be.
I do Muay Thai and kick boxing and one thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes when I’d go to the bar with the dudes I trained with they never responded to drunk or non drunk people getting into their faces asking for fights. We were told to just walk away and avoid all of the drama. They just ignore them, or they’d tell them to F off and walk away. They never tried to fight and when they had to they’d make sure they had distance and we all wait until the other person got tired from throwing kicks and punches cos once you’re tired you can’t avoid jabs and kicks as easily so that’s what we’d wait for. Made it easier to give out one solid hit or it made it easier to avoid the person and walk away.
If somoeone has been in lots of street fights and is still in one piece, it means he tends to win them. Does not mean he is good in a martial arts sense, he might be just fighting really dirty (his friends tend to get involved, carrying weapons etc)
@@LoneDWoIfBut with Overconfidence comes risks too. Trying to avoid fights that you would never win honestly sounds better then being Overconfident only to get you're ass whooped.
@@LoneDWoIf Damn my bad, I thought you meant being overconfident when starting fights. Yea I agree that is best atleast trying to fight you're way out then doing nothing.
I'd agree with much of what you said. With a caveat. The "red mist" in some cases may be a hyperfocused rage state which unlocks otherwise unavailable viciousness and brutalty overwhelming relatively unskilled or more skilled opponents. Even professional fighters in high level competition sometimes resort to this type of "berserker mode". Clay Guida or Diego Sanchez come to mind. I understand that typically a trained fighter seeks to remain calm and deploy technique, but for most of us physical combat is a rarity and we have basic skills. A wild, exxplosive, definitive and brutal response may be of greater benifit to those who lack technique and experience. I'm surely not going to outbox a boxer. But he's not expecting an eye poke, groin attack, leg sweep, tackle or bight. The best defense is avoidance, but when that fails, go right at them, be first and be definitive. Against a highly trained marshall artist, I'd get knocked out every time. But I'd hope there would never be cause for that.
when someone tells me that "Martial arts doesn't make you bullet proof" just makes me see red... but seriously thou people don't only train Martial arts to know how to fight. There are so much things you can learn from Martial arts aside from self defense like discipline, hard work and comradery hence why I hate hearing hate towards Martial arts especially other Martial artist making fun of other Martial artist
2:19 partially true but they just pick the ones that are weak and can’t carry themselves like a man. Basically a bully because if they’re the ones to be know to try and pick fights that’s a sign of them not ever getting punched in the face
Absolutely correct. My uncle who is 5th Dan karate blackberry, has never had a single streetfight. I come from an extremely violent area, Grays -Tilbury in Essex, and grew up having to defend myself alot. I was mildly trained in boxing and a little karate(kicks). The effect that even this little bit of training made me much more effective than most of my attackers. When one ended up in hospital after one punch, I realised the damage I could do, and vowed only to restrain from that point on, or indeed walk or run away. I'm glad to say that I've only once in my adult life have I had to actually hurt someone, who attacked me with a chain. I think martial arts should be taught in schools. Children would learn respect at an early age.
The way I see it is there are no rules in street fighting it is way too divergent. The person who achieves his desired outcome is always the winner. And that out come might be just to run away unhurt. A lot of people love to bark and sound dangerous when they are scared shitless. If you are getting into a lot of street fights, assess why this is happening, change the problem and avoid fighting altogether. Mr. X
Very good advice . Especially don't fight unless you have to . A punch that might knock one person out can just as easily kill another . Prisons are full of guys who " didn't mean to ."
Question: You say people who disrespect certain styles of martial arts cannot fight. So, what’s your opinion on Michael Bisping an action movie actor and MMA fighter? He seems to think Bruce Lee is overrated and also seems to believe that neither Kung Fu or Ninjutsu will help you win in a real fight. To give him credit though, in the sport of MMA, I believe he still has plenty of wins more than he does losses.
The flip side of this is as martial artists we need to remember that if we ever have to defend ourselves outside the gym or ring , the odds are HIGHLY favored to us facing somebody who IS untrained . We are so used to dealing with trained people we forget how the rest move, act and react . They rush in wildly, flailing away as hard as they can with no sense of distance or balance . And if you aren't used to that you can get caught and not get a chance to recover . Talk to bouncers and security people . I used to live on a street with about a dozen bars . All the fights looked the same , nobody threw a clean technique or take down ever .
You are only going to be as good as the bar that you set for yourself. You will only ever be as good as you need to be. Sparring with idiots does mean you will get better than the average idiot. But that doesn't mean you are any good.
@@maxschlegel3566 That's why I'm also going to be selective about my opponents. I should've worded myself a little more specifically, I'm always up for a *good* spar; with *another* martial artist. 😉 I don't enjoy sparring just for the thrill (though that's part of the reason), I'm in it for my own personal growth.
Come on people... "Seeing Red" comes from bullfights.. If you pay attention, the matador always uses a red cape.. It is believed that the color red is disturbing to bulls and it provokes them into a rage, making them charge at the matador. So yes, seeing red is referring to rage, but it all comes from the Matador cape.
That's right I've been training in martial arts And in first year i felt pity for the normal people who wanted to pick fight with me since my power, reflexes and speed increased and knew where to punch and kick but they didnt know So i just decided to desclate fights as well Plus i think working out and training in martial arts makes you radiate a strong silent aura of confidence and power And you don't even need to prove that you can fight people just know
Point number 2 is what i came here to hear really. As a fellow martial artist of two decades, in my experience the vast majority of trained guys avoid fights as much as they possibly can because they understand better than most violence and its potential outcomes. If youve trained and have a degree of confidence in your ability you will naturally be worried about the repercussions of any violence in the street, both for the wellbeing of your opponent and any legal backlash too. But if youve half a brain youll also be worried about your own safety, even thinking you are significantly more skilled than any attacker when punches start flying anything can happen. Ive been on both ends of knock out shots both just sparring and in the ring. The thought of that happening on a hard surface, falling back and smashing the back of your head, its a story many will have heard before. One punch really can end someones life. When you really understand violence and its potential consequences, you are far, FAR more likely to keep it in the gym/ring/dojo where it belongs. Fighting in the street is a mugs game unless you really have no choice but to defend yourself.
😂😂😂 It's why you get a Gun so you don't have to hit them. You just shout "I'm armed" and wala you both walk out unscathed and with far less insults thrown.
@@datuputi777 Brinkmanship is good and all however some people lack sense regardless and I doubt most would be comfortable shotting unarmed individuals.
@ Hmm your right there's more drug addicts and other unreasonably crazy individuals. The question is would you really wanna subdue this individuals with just martial arts when the drugs their taking in were originally meant for soldiers in a war zone while your not on one.
i can kick high if i force it but.. when i lift my legs up theres a snapping soud around the hips. im not trained in martial arts i just respect it and train nunchucks.
Doesn't matter what style a person trains, if they are good and competent.....I don't want to engage them in a fight regardless of the style I do. That's the respect any good fighter has for the other
nat ur the best martial arts youtuber also love ur new dojoo and about the video when somebody wants to fight all the time not only is it that they lose control they actually dont have emotional intelligence meaning that they like to fight things out instead of talking it out
You are right regarding the observations done regarding the signs of lack of combat skills presented on this video 😎👍…….thats why humility and education on a combat sport are key 🙏🏻
Its not karate or any other fighting style that "works" or doesn't work, it's the person that's using it who can either fight or can't fight to begin with.
It doesn't matter if you think someone can't fight. You can train for decades and then one day you're taking out the trash and some dudes jump you with knives and clubs and you wake up in the hospital or worse. Never assume someone can't fight as in the real world there are no rules. Dirt in the eyes to blind you, a pen in the pocket can be a weapon even a stick or rock. Everyone knows how to swing their arms and even though you know the correct technique to getting under their guard and taking them to the floor doesn't mean they aren't stabbing you in the back of the neck as you do it. Best to avoid confrontation but if that isn't the case and you can't get away, finish the fight quickly. Remember that most fighting styles that are trained in the ring have rules, no weapons, no jabbing the eyes, no attacking the groin, no real way to win in a real fight. I've seen street fighters lose in gyms where the rules are whatever the style is but take that same style in the real world you will find little techniques that works. The street is mostly speed, opportunity and a lack or morals. Just remember to use your head instead of your fists.
I've lost count of the number of people who have come to our school with an "i see red" attitude and want to train for the art....and never return when they struggle with a light sparring session.
Hi Nat, yes I did enjoy it. I've heard people say things like, 'this fighting system is better that other fighting system', but from what I can see, it doesn't matter what martial art you do, the trick is to just do it with conviction. Does that sound about right to you?
Unfortunately there is a culture of thinking having a gun makes you tough. I see martial arts performances on social media and get impressed only to see a hundred people saying “Yea but you can’t stop these bullets”. It’s sad because it tells a story of people willing to kill to avoid getting punched or kicked. And many of those comments are fake frontin but it still is lame to see. In turn, read that a person can’t fight but also read if they are crazy enough to actually shoot.
@ I would disagree. Like if someone (which this will never happen) broke into your house and attacked your family using muy Thai then yea, shoot away. But as this guy said people who have skills in martial arts generally use it for defense and don’t want to hurt anyone. So if you pick a fight, they know martial arts, and you pull a gun and shoot them you are a murderer where they would have just given a beatin. Nothing equal about that. An out of shape weakling can win with a gun. There’s no merit. One is defeating an aggressor the other is murder. People just need to differentiate what those things mean better.

I went into a gym and wanted a friendly sparring match, which i got, i winded up doing really well as a beginner, but eventually lost in the fourth round, from then on i stuck to learning martial arts, Kickboxing, Boxing, Jiu Jistsu, MMA are my main ones
So yes, 80% of “street fighters” are absolute trash at actually fighting, but you get 20% of them that can actually stand and really seriously throw down, those are the ones you need to watch for and try to properly discipline, thats just my take ☝️🤓
I think the best “street fighters” are the ones who try to de-escalate
Fighting should always be a last resort not the first resort. I typically try to de-escalate before proceeding into a fight.
You should never want to fight because the human body is extremely fragile and just the wrong hit at the wrong angle could potentially harm someone greatly or end their existence. The consequences of fighting another person outweigh the supposed benefits of saying you were right or just proving anything. The potential of great harm to another person in a fight is ever present and one should strive to avoid that conflict because it is deadly, and the preservation of life is far more important.
The person who is calm and wants to avoid the situation without attempting to flee is someone you should probably leave alone.
"Martial Artists are respectful". Yes because we've been in enough fights/matches to know that....
1) there is always someone badder
2) anything can happen
3) they know what they're capable of and don't want to hurt someone
4) no need to prove anything
5) doesn't want to go to jail
Once you start sparring… you realise just how tired someone becomes in a fight.
The best fight I have ever fought was the time I avoided it.
Mocking other martial arts can also come from ignorance instead of jealousy.
The point stands though, that mocking other martial arts is typically a sign of someone who is either inexperienced or arrogant in their own art.

Even the 'winners' of fights get hurt, and who wants to be hurt. Very risky to even get in any fight, especially if you don't know the level of skill of your opponent.
Exactly. Even if you come out unscathed so much can go wrong and cause you problems down the line. The other guy could fall back and crack his head open. Now you're looking at murder/manslaughter charges. He survives? He might successfully spin it as you assaulting him. Most things aren't worth criminal charges or civil suits. Don't fight unless you have no other options.
I know karate
and several other Japanese words.
Never fight unless you have to,then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp to Noah's ark, and brother, it's starting to rain!
Number 1, thinking side kicks work 🙏
Usually the quiet ones are the ones you have to watch out for You know somebody you least expect My advice leave people alone
It's always funny when they say "I see red when I get angry" basically they have no control of their body and also they can't see because they ruptured their own blood vessels to the eye.
@@angryfoxzd5233 nah thats their blood covering their eyes after they got hit too hard in the forehead
Seeing red is a anger management thing I think it's more of an argument thing than a violence thing
Given so many people have piercings, long hair, pants hanging low, and other bullshit, the average "threat" you'd encounter already defeated themselves for you. They come at you with so many handicaps it's stupid.
This take makes absolutely no sense.
@@CirilloRuca Then you fail to understand that street fights don't have rules and people will do anything to you to win.
what makes me laugh is when some ppl say I don't know Karate but I know crazy
Seeing red and fighting is like alcohol and sex. It makes you more likely to do it, but it also makes you less likely to perform.
Funniest shit ive heard all day
I've never been in an aggressive situation where my opponent has ever uttered the words "I SEE RED", that would just make me laugh. I have found that those that bark the loudest usually can't fight sleep. For example, idiots that posture, throw their arms wide and pace back and forwards and shout threats and profanity are basically screaming "I AM SCARED AND DON'T WANT TO FIGHT", it's just a bear scaring tactic. Lastly, if you are untrained and a fight is inevitable.....fight dirty, bite, gouge, eye-poke etc.....either that or run. :)
I've had to get in a few scuffles but I agree 100% . Spit, gouge, bite, grab twist and pull. I had some scrote threatening to stab me, right hand behind his back, a couple of years ago but a simple left jab bust his nose and I walked off. I'm not trained in martial arts apart from a bit of boxing and krav maga. I know I'd get destroyed in a serious fight so just avoid the idiots. However the silly boy threatening me with 'you're going to die tonight bro' nonsense, he's lucky he only got a jab.
I love how I questioned myself ''What about someone that knows how to channel their rage?'' and you directly talked about it in the next sentence.
0:49 i dont see red i see pink 🎀
Yeah am colorblind I see blue
And when people who actually see red see red, they wish they didn't, they know it makes them bad in a fight
I was bullied at school and at some point I decided to do freestyle wrestling. All my bullies were physically stronger than me and often fought. When they found out that I was doing wrestling, they spent a lot of effort on the fact that "your wrestling won't help you", "what can you do with your wrestling, hug men while lying down?", "I'll knock you out with one punch" and all that stuff.
After a couple of years, I was confident enough to fight back. None of my bullies were doing martial arts. Literally in half a year, my bullies became my "buddies", of course, after they felt for themselves that they could get a serious fight back.
It was easy. They were still physically stronger than me, but doing martial arts gives you an incomparable advantage. They demonstrated all the signs from this video, although for a long time their "show-off" worked for me 100%.
I agree, and insecurity speaks loud in these cases. You can usually tell when someone can’t actually fight if they’re always talking about it-bragging about who they could “beat up” or “would beat up,” only to act completely pleasant when that person shows up. The same goes for people who constantly talk about how they used to be a monster back in the day, but only when they were younger. It all comes off as overcompensation.
I can actually see this progress through my life. I used to be a lot more cocky, but I’ve been getting better; and I’m less of these things
Discipline is a W
All your talking about "seeing red" made me realise that I never actually fought a real fighter in my moments of rage during my youth. Thank you for making me realize that.
(Today, as for the last decade, I aim to avoid fights)
As a muay thai fighter, I find taekwondo to be one of the coolest martial arts! I love their kicks, and most taekwondo fighters I've fought were all great all around strikers, their punches were actually really good
Absolutely agreed. Muay Thai and Ju jitsu guy here.
Respect🤝
If they claim they can perform a "Touchless Knockout" or if they say they know "The Secret Ninja Death Touch" or can use "Chi Blasts", that person can't fight.
At all.
I know a specific person who thinks they could beat anyone in a fight and goes around saying “oh certain martial arts are useless” or “you don’t do martial arts because you won’t show the moves” or even lying about being in the same building I am when I take martial arts lessons and not seeing me and all the reasons you just pointed out came into play with this person I’m talking about
Most people can't fight...no shame.
I spent the best part of 40 years learning many styles of martial arts, and I'm a passivist. I've been hot by many random people, and it's amazing how bad a lot of them feel when you just cower and walk away. However, on 2 occasions my training saved my life. Those who fight for survival are the strongest
What about a gun?
Bears aren’t aggressive when they peel you apart- they bring a pickinick basket
I respectfully disagree on your points. I would say this is more a list of things showing that someone is not trained. But not being trained and not being able to fight are 2 different things. People, especially some martial artists, tend to look down at people who are not trained. This is a mistake. The will to do violence and past experience of being violent are dangerous combinations. People like this may not have formal training and may be seen as brutes, however they are committed to hurting someone any way they can and that’s nothing to overlook. Martial arts are good. I like them. But they can and have been beaten by untrained individuals. If you look at the first UFC and NHB competitions of the early days, there were many a street fighters, who beat trained individuals. These men were strong and violent. While the martial arts are a great tool to beat individuals like these, I fear the sentiment that videos like these put out; of forgetting the past lessons on not so distant history.
I would definitely say that in the case of somebody who is possibly manic, pretty large, strong or all of the above then theres a good chance that could definitely kick somebodies ass and it very well quite likely may not even matter what martial art somebody trained and if somebody like that starts yelling things at you like "I'm going to kick your ass and your martial art won't work on me" then it's quite likely that they are absolutely right unless your quite big and or strong as well.
I do Muay Thai but i have quite a lot of respect for other martial arts like karate or Taekwondo for instance. I feel like they have some very rapid and quick movements which i really respect
Nice bro💪
Anyone who's taken a Martial Art knows one of the first things they teach you is to avoid street fights at all costs.
Exactly, finally someone with sense, thank you!
Best fights are the ones you avoid.
I hate fighting. I’m thinking about getting back into martial arts simply, to stay in shape. I remember coming home with a gi soaked with sweat…
Biggest sign, someone keeps talking when they need to shut up
I think you're pretty spot on for the most part. But there are the rare cases where a person will have been in many street altercations even though they didn't want to. I was homeless in a small town, where calling 911 or trying to run away doesn't work. It's because you'd get beat up before help arrives, and nobody will be caught, and since it's a small place, enemies will ALWAYS find you later. I had no choice but to fend for myself, plus avoid ever calling 911 because people would just come get you later, again. So I have been in a lot of street altercations. But I don't go around telling people all the time. (I'm only putting it here because it's relevant)
They are tough when a crowd is watching, but back down when alone. Seen alot of this when I worked security at bars. Guys that make a scene and need everyone to have attention on them are the same ones that when the guy they tried to punk out approaches them alone in the restroom or parking lot; fold. Those guys fold. The guys that are real trouble don't want witnesses.
Yes lets take this to a more secluded and quiet place so we don't go to jail... Oh no? You don't want to go outside? That's what I thought. 😂
Seeing red is some gta logic🗣️🗣️

Big sign someone can’t fight. They join a Gang.
why is that
@@nevaehmealy you need your buddies to help you, because you are too weak 1v1
Seeing red can be a literal thing. I think that's where the phrase came from originally.
Just remember Talk is always cheap , and fighters don't have to cheap talk.
So true. The guy to watch out for is the one standing nearby watching the situation unfold and assessing the environment.
After wrestling in high school, I became easily 10X more "fight avoidant". I learned in the end, it doesn't really matter how skilled you are, any dog can have his day and get lucky in a fight. Fights are so, so unpredictable. Wrestling made me see this.
I agree. One of the biggest telltale signs for me that someone can’t actually fight is if they’re always talking about it. Every other conversation is about who they could “beat up” or “would beat up,” but when that person shows up, they’re as pleasant as can be.
Now we need the opposite, signs someone can fight
you usually notice those too late. :)
Just take a look at their ear, if it's a cauliflower try to avoid that sh*t 😂
I do Muay Thai and kick boxing and one thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes when I’d go to the bar with the dudes I trained with they never responded to drunk or non drunk people getting into their faces asking for fights. We were told to just walk away and avoid all of the drama.
They just ignore them, or they’d tell them to F off and walk away. They never tried to fight and when they had to they’d make sure they had distance and we all wait until the other person got tired from throwing kicks and punches cos once you’re tired you can’t avoid jabs and kicks as easily so that’s what we’d wait for. Made it easier to give out one solid hit or it made it easier to avoid the person and walk away.
If they have distance control and legs are slightly bent there is your answer (prob too late at that point tho).
"If you have enough discipline to learn to fight, then you have enough discipline to not seek it out"
Thats what i get from this
If somoeone has been in lots of street fights and is still in one piece, it means he tends to win them. Does not mean he is good in a martial arts sense, he might be just fighting really dirty (his friends tend to get involved, carrying weapons etc)
Signs you can't fight:
"When you are fearful & underestimate your opponent and lose before the fight even starts."
@cozmahnut Actually, that could help in a fight. Overconfidence is much more powerful of a tool than doubt.
@@LoneDWoIfBut with Overconfidence comes risks too.
Trying to avoid fights that you would never win honestly sounds better then being Overconfident only to get you're ass whooped.
@LuarIbriqi-qf4fh im talking abt when you're in a fight not saying be stupid and start fights
@LuarIbriqi-qf4fh so no risk comes from stupidity
@@LoneDWoIf Damn my bad, I thought you meant being overconfident when starting fights. Yea I agree that is best atleast trying to fight you're way out then doing nothing.

I'd agree with much of what you said. With a caveat. The "red mist" in some cases may be a hyperfocused rage state which unlocks otherwise unavailable viciousness and brutalty overwhelming relatively unskilled or more skilled opponents. Even professional fighters in high level competition sometimes resort to this type of "berserker mode". Clay Guida or Diego Sanchez come to mind.
I understand that typically a trained fighter seeks to remain calm and deploy technique, but for most of us physical combat is a rarity and we have basic skills. A wild, exxplosive, definitive and brutal response may be of greater benifit to those who lack technique and experience. I'm surely not going to outbox a boxer. But he's not expecting an eye poke, groin attack, leg sweep, tackle or bight. The best defense is avoidance, but when that fails, go right at them, be first and be definitive. Against a highly trained marshall artist, I'd get knocked out every time. But I'd hope there would never be cause for that.
Dude's facial structure is insane.
when someone tells me that "Martial arts doesn't make you bullet proof" just makes me see red...
but seriously thou people don't only train Martial arts to know how to fight. There are so much things you can learn from Martial arts aside from self defense like discipline, hard work and comradery hence why I hate hearing hate towards Martial arts especially other Martial artist making fun of other Martial artist
Exactly, not to mention historically speaking martial arts is meant to complement weaponry
Thanks Nat for being on time
👋😇😇
2:19 partially true but they just pick the ones that are weak and can’t carry themselves like a man. Basically a bully because if they’re the ones to be know to try and pick fights that’s a sign of them not ever getting punched in the face
Absolutely correct. My uncle who is 5th Dan karate blackberry, has never had a single streetfight.
I come from an extremely violent area, Grays -Tilbury in Essex, and grew up having to defend myself alot. I was mildly trained in boxing and a little karate(kicks).
The effect that even this little bit of training made me much more effective than most of my attackers. When one ended up in hospital after one punch, I realised the damage I could do, and vowed only to restrain from that point on, or indeed walk or run away.
I'm glad to say that I've only once in my adult life have I had to actually hurt someone, who attacked me with a chain.
I think martial arts should be taught in schools. Children would learn respect at an early age.
The way I see it is there are no rules in street fighting it is way too divergent. The person who achieves his desired outcome is always the winner. And that out come might be just to run away unhurt. A lot of people love to bark and sound dangerous when they are scared shitless. If you are getting into a lot of street fights, assess why this is happening, change the problem and avoid fighting altogether. Mr. X
Very good advice . Especially don't fight unless you have to . A punch that might knock one person out can just as easily kill another . Prisons are full of guys who " didn't mean to ."
Question: You say people who disrespect certain styles of martial arts cannot fight. So, what’s your opinion on Michael Bisping an action movie actor and MMA fighter? He seems to think Bruce Lee is overrated and also seems to believe that neither Kung Fu or Ninjutsu will help you win in a real fight. To give him credit though, in the sport of MMA, I believe he still has plenty of wins more than he does losses.
Bisping talks shit because that's his gimmick. And no other reason.
I do believe he was more talking in general than anything
It seems more in general/from a side of arrogance than specifically disrespecting Kung Fu
The flip side of this is as martial artists we need to remember that if we ever have to defend ourselves outside the gym or ring , the odds are HIGHLY favored to us facing somebody who IS untrained . We are so used to dealing with trained people we forget how the rest move, act and react . They rush in wildly, flailing away as hard as they can with no sense of distance or balance . And if you aren't used to that you can get caught and not get a chance to recover . Talk to bouncers and security people . I used to live on a street with about a dozen bars . All the fights looked the same , nobody threw a clean technique or take down ever .
Yeah that’s also a good point to be fair👍
people who knows how to fight, always keep distance
I think the "big mouth" is especially true. They feel like they have something to prove because they feel they are lacking something.
When you see someone seeing red: Back kick
I'm seeing red, it's over now ,"famous last words'
Forgot one - they have a gun
What if I said I'm "always up for a SPAR"? 😄
You are only going to be as good as the bar that you set for yourself. You will only ever be as good as you need to be.
Sparring with idiots does mean you will get better than the average idiot. But that doesn't mean you are any good.
@@maxschlegel3566 That's why I'm also going to be selective about my opponents. I should've worded myself a little more specifically, I'm always up for a *good* spar; with *another* martial artist.
😉
I don't enjoy sparring just for the thrill (though that's part of the reason), I'm in it for my own personal growth.
Come on people... "Seeing Red" comes from bullfights.. If you pay attention, the matador always uses a red cape.. It is believed that the color red is disturbing to bulls and it provokes them into a rage, making them charge at the matador. So yes, seeing red is referring to rage, but it all comes from the Matador cape.
actually bull attacks cause he wants not cause of red color
@@georgiostatakis7887 Thats why I said "It is believed" ,in other words.. its a theory.. but thanks for the correction.
I've heard the 'red' cape is just traditional, and that it's the motion of the cape that entices the bull to attack.
That's right
I've been training in martial arts
And in first year i felt pity for the normal people who wanted to pick fight with me since my power, reflexes and speed increased and knew where to punch and kick but they didnt know
So i just decided to desclate fights as well
Plus i think working out and training in martial arts makes you radiate a strong silent aura of confidence and power
And you don't even need to prove that you can fight
people just know
Translation: Beware of the calmest person in the room.
Facts🤝
Point number 2 is what i came here to hear really. As a fellow martial artist of two decades, in my experience the vast majority of trained guys avoid fights as much as they possibly can because they understand better than most violence and its potential outcomes. If youve trained and have a degree of confidence in your ability you will naturally be worried about the repercussions of any violence in the street, both for the wellbeing of your opponent and any legal backlash too. But if youve half a brain youll also be worried about your own safety, even thinking you are significantly more skilled than any attacker when punches start flying anything can happen. Ive been on both ends of knock out shots both just sparring and in the ring. The thought of that happening on a hard surface, falling back and smashing the back of your head, its a story many will have heard before. One punch really can end someones life. When you really understand violence and its potential consequences, you are far, FAR more likely to keep it in the gym/ring/dojo where it belongs. Fighting in the street is a mugs game unless you really have no choice but to defend yourself.
😂😂😂 It's why you get a Gun so you don't have to hit them. You just shout "I'm armed" and wala you both walk out unscathed and with far less insults thrown.
@@datuputi777 Brinkmanship is good and all however some people lack sense regardless and I doubt most would be comfortable shotting unarmed individuals.
Agreed, people seem to forget that martial arts is meant for self defense and used as a last resort. De-escalation is always the preferred method.
@
Hmm your right there's more drug addicts and other unreasonably crazy individuals. The question is would you really wanna subdue this individuals with just martial arts when the drugs their taking in were originally meant for soldiers in a war zone while your not on one.
i can kick high if i force it but.. when i lift my legs up theres a snapping soud around the hips. im not trained in martial arts i just respect it and train nunchucks.
Any illusions I had about shrugging off kicks were dispelled when I took a kick to the jaw. The sifu had to grab me to keep me from falling.
Doesn't matter what style a person trains, if they are good and competent.....I don't want to engage them in a fight regardless of the style I do. That's the respect any good fighter has for the other
nat ur the best martial arts youtuber also love ur new dojoo and about the video when somebody wants to fight all the time not only is it that they lose control they actually dont have emotional intelligence meaning that they like to fight things out instead of talking it out
Appreciate that bro💪
You are right regarding the observations done regarding the signs of lack of combat skills presented on this video 😎👍…….thats why humility and education on a combat sport are key 🙏🏻
Words are useless in a fight. Stay silent and breathe. Act accordingly.
Its not karate or any other fighting style that "works" or doesn't work, it's the person that's using it who can either fight or can't fight to begin with.
Now do all of these things to make it seem as if you can't fight. Now YOU have the upper hand.
True, maybe I should take the video down😔
Thanks for telling how poeple show they arent good at fighting. I can hide the fact im bad at fighting now.
"I'm 260 bro" is another
Size matters boss.
It doesn't matter if you think someone can't fight. You can train for decades and then one day you're taking out the trash and some dudes jump you with knives and clubs and you wake up in the hospital or worse. Never assume someone can't fight as in the real world there are no rules. Dirt in the eyes to blind you, a pen in the pocket can be a weapon even a stick or rock. Everyone knows how to swing their arms and even though you know the correct technique to getting under their guard and taking them to the floor doesn't mean they aren't stabbing you in the back of the neck as you do it. Best to avoid confrontation but if that isn't the case and you can't get away, finish the fight quickly. Remember that most fighting styles that are trained in the ring have rules, no weapons, no jabbing the eyes, no attacking the groin, no real way to win in a real fight. I've seen street fighters lose in gyms where the rules are whatever the style is but take that same style in the real world you will find little techniques that works. The street is mostly speed, opportunity and a lack or morals. Just remember to use your head instead of your fists.
Here before it blows up
I've lost count of the number of people who have come to our school with an "i see red" attitude and want to train for the art....and never return when they struggle with a light sparring session.
If they are yelling, getting in your face, shoving you, or threatening to beat you up, they can't fight.
Now, this is something useful and I’m glad you made this. Very hapy
Glad you enjoyed💪
Hi Nat, yes I did enjoy it. I've heard people say things like, 'this fighting system is better that other fighting system', but from what I can see, it doesn't matter what martial art you do, the trick is to just do it with conviction. Does that sound about right to you?
Unfortunately there is a culture of thinking having a gun makes you tough. I see martial arts performances on social media and get impressed only to see a hundred people saying “Yea but you can’t stop these bullets”.
It’s sad because it tells a story of people willing to kill to avoid getting punched or kicked. And many of those comments are fake frontin but it still is lame to see.
In turn, read that a person can’t fight but also read if they are crazy enough to actually shoot.
Well, it's still true. It equalizes the playing field. BUT like anything, they can be misused.
@ I would disagree. Like if someone (which this will never happen) broke into your house and attacked your family using muy Thai then yea, shoot away. But as this guy said people who have skills in martial arts generally use it for defense and don’t want to hurt anyone. So if you pick a fight, they know martial arts, and you pull a gun and shoot them you are a murderer where they would have just given a beatin. Nothing equal about that. An out of shape weakling can win with a gun. There’s no merit.
One is defeating an aggressor the other is murder. People just need to differentiate what those things mean better.
