I was bullied heavily in school for 3 years and as Tony said it can affects you for the rest of your life. I have a lot of insecurities and before that period of my life I had a lot of friends and I was a lot more extroverted. At the time I had a lot of economical problems at home too. I really don't know how I endure all of that as such a young age. Now I'm kinda a loner, I have a lot of trust issue and I feel insecure about myself all the time. I had a lot of dreams but I never had the confidence to achieve them. I want to point out that adults are not really useful, my teachers knew the situation because a lot of time I burst into tears in class, but most of them looked away or feel sorry for me and that's it. I never told anything to my parents because as I've said, at the time, we had a lot of problems at home too.
I'm sorry for your experience. I can relate. I was bullied almost every year in elementary school. Sometimes it was even by a jealous "friend". I also had family problems though I was never the target. I only remember going to the counselor about the bullying once in 4th grade. I was never the type of kid to speak up or stand up for myself, even now. And I'm not sure if the bullying would've ever stopped. The only reason it stopped was because I went to online school in 5th grade due to coronavirus. And I did go from being that extroverted kid to an introverted teen(I'll be a teen in a few months). Looking back, I kinda wish I was able to stand up for myself. Even though most of the bullying was verbal. I'm glad I found this channel. Seeing that both my older siblings were in at least one fight before, I may need this in the future.
@@nevaehmitchell4407 you are still very young ( I'm not ), don't make the same mistakes I did. Be who you really are and don't close yourself. I wasted the best years of my life by doing that. Always believe in yourself.
You can literally SEE on his face how much affected him back then, and how much it still affects him to this day. He's uncomfortable even talking about it, it's awkward and makes him uneasy. I can totally relate to that, I was bullied too, and it truly is terrible. It changed me as a person for years, destroyed my confidence. The message is solid, if you're bullying people, STOP, it hurts worse than you can know. When I got out of the military I started lifting weights and trained some MMA with my friends and did some sparring. I wish I would have stuck with it more back then but I just wasn't at a spot in my life I could continue to do it. Now at the age of 39 I'm trying to learn how to box again, I don't have anyone to teach me but I've been training the best I can, and doing some sparring at the gym I train people at; it's AWSOME. The main message here is don't bully people, and if you ARE getting bullied, you need to learn how to fight and stand up for yourself. Go to a boxing gym, go learn MMA, go take some BJJ classes, anything at all like that, every man should know how to defend himself. You deserve to feel safe when you are walking around, or are in social settings, fighting will help immensely with your self confidence. :)

I used to get bullied for being fat from a very young age all the way till i was 17 years old. From males and females as i got older it went from being fat to how dark my complexion is to my nationality. Thankfully i lost weight and learned how to defend myself but that part of my life has really affected my confidence in myself, i suffer from anxiety confidence and anger issues, always judging what people think of me. And im 31 years old now but bullying really affects people mentally its only at this age i realised that many of my problems are from my past, theres times i want to get revenge on the people who made my life hell but i see they moved on and changed but they dont see the affects of the bullying they did affected those who were the victims. Bullying really does change people forever.
I started working out cause I used to get bullied in high school. I had a 6” growth spurt after high school and I’m now doing boxing, kick boxing, muy thai, and jiu jitsu. I don’t really get picked on anymore, but those years sucked.
@@Tony_Jeffriesman he got a growth spurt? well my 5'1 father just gave me an extra inch innit yeah? even lighter and shorter than the welter weight champ manny himself
Hi Tony, my Son (12) is currently having a hard time in his first year of secondary school. Been using some of your videos to get him working out with me (new to boxing myself). Starting to build some confidence, hoping he will stick with it. Will show him the short film. Cheers for your honesty, with how much you share
My boy is having a hard time as well but he can't fight back because he got head surgery from a....hematoma?. Basically his brain was bleeding so they fixed it. I want him to learn boxing to avoid punches not to throw them.
While been able to physically defend yourself I'd say knowing how to psychological defend yourself is more important, I got bullied at school and carried this with me for a long time, got some Bruce Lee books and it was actually his philosophy that helped me more than anything else
I got bullied for wearing glasses. I was 11 and in 6th grade. A bully who flunked and held back 2 years was 15. He pulled a knife on me walking through a field on my way home. He was a lot bigger than me, but I was trying to get stronger. I always had my backpack loaded with books to build muscle and clocked the kid in the head with my pack and he dropped. I took his knife and stuck it between 2 large rocks and kicked it until it broke. Kid never messed with me again.
@@thatssponge8120 bruh not everyone starts on the same age 😂 And different countries still exist. I'm from the Philippines and I was 11 in Grade 6 with majority being 11 too, there are a few who are 10 and maybe 2 or 3 that are 12
My biggest regret is never training as soon as I started getting bullied. I never boxed,exercised, or train but I still wanted to be tough. No one was around to teach me and I couldn't afford Tae Kwon Do anymore. I just couldn't learn on my own. Now I'm training and boxing just as my lifestyle.
I've been bullied, and also been the bully sometimes but the stinky shit said to me really did get me. But when i started boxing and LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEOS and learnt to fight, no one has ever dared to disrespect me in that sense ever. You changed MILLIONS of lives for sure tony, bless ya big man!
And a tip I would give if you are being bullied and cant get it too stop. Learn Jujitsu and boxing both. Jujitsu is great if its only 1 on 1. Standing up is better if there are more then one opponent. And sorry yall are going through this stay strong yall are going to make it. GOD Bless.

This video is great tony ! When I was 13 In the 7th grade I was a fat kid and I got picked on by the 8th graders and on the way home from school they would throw rocks at me and thank god I was at least 50 yards away from them and I remember going home and just feeling hopeless .... there wasn’t any martial arts schools around my area or I would’ve been there ! I feel your pain and now at 33 I’ve trained a bit of Muay Thai and Boxing and I’ll never compete but I am confident and it’s funny because all of those guys that did that to me couldn’t touch me now ! I am 100 percent against bullying and will shut it down in any situation! Thanks for the video ! This made me happy .
Most of the time there's a deeper story with bullies, not that it makes it right, but majority of the time bullies are being bullied at home! Sad vicious circle, causes deep psychological damage! Boxing is good for self confidence for the bullied and the bullies.... you hardly see a boxer being bullied or even bully other people!
You’re an inspiration mate. I will say when I saw that actor playing your dad I thought I can’t see Phil doing that as he’s a no bs straight talker, I can see him reacting the same way my dad did which was tell you to fight him back which as you said is what really happened. Although my dad would teach me to fight by beating me up thinking it would toughen me up which I can’t say worked. Thank fully your dad sent you to the boxing gym where you became a boxing icon 👊
Amazing Tony. Had me thinking back to my childhood, and to Why I started mma and my music because of the bully’s in school. From year 9 no one ever touched me again after I put my bully on the deck.
Yes Sir ! Bullying is a serious issue, one which is ignored and becomes the main reason for today’s Gun Violence in school and events. Especially in school, a kid who has been continuously bullied since young age will have a mindset which will perceive Society as a Threat or root cause for his problems. Thus keeping a safe and healthy environment in schools is must protocol now schools should follow.
Great clip Tony 👍 The timing of this clip could not be better - I‘m just back from a school reunion I helped to organise. While looking to contact the 200+ guys in our year we found that some of them had fallen on hard times and we decided to bring this to the attention of the group - I got to make a speech about the importance of looking out for each other in the years ahead. During the speech our year‘s bully / ar@ehole in chief tried to drown out my speech by cheering loudly, hoping everyone would join in - they didn’t and he shut up - I took a sip of water and carried on regardless. I guess some people are hopeless cases …
The funny thing about training martial arts is the better ya get the less shite ya get from people. I often think its the mental change that is more powerful than anything else.
Your right about that, in my case I get the same feeling when I work out, lifting weights, just getting in shape, it lifts your self esteem, improving your confidence. You get this feeling if someone is stupid enough to fuck with you, they're going to get their ass kicked ! Definitely improves a person's confidence in themself !
I actually discovered about you and your channel from the Dhar Mann video and been watching a few videos of yours. It was great to see your reaction video, learning about what really happened and how you did overcome those challenges to reach where you are! You're a legend!!
I also got bullied not because of my appearance but because of my personality. I was a people pleaser and overall weak kid back in my days and i easilly get cry when i'm overwhelmed. But as i grew up and more exposed in the reality of life I understand that it's my fault for being weak and it's time to improve myself.
One time in my school I was always bullied from a girl and I stood up for myself and my parents they were so whenever you fall down you get up on your feet, so your story these memories of me getting bullied
I remember when I was about a half year into boxing I thought I learned nothing but when I got into a fight at school with a kid I then learned how good this training really was
Amazing video, a real powerful and positive message being sent out, you could see how proud you are and rightly so. Being bullied is such a horrible experience and it can stay with you, but I use it for motivation. Thanks for sharing
You don't need to change who you are if you are bullied. A lot of people are saying how they changed themselves whether it's through working out, starting karate or ju jitsu, being more confident, getting a nice haircut, wearing nicer clothes. That's good but I find that it's best not to give a crap what bullies think AND do what you like. I like to think about it like this. "I want to get stronger so I can defend myself in a tough situation or be calmed enough when angry." My da taught me that the reason bullies, well, bully is because they are dealing with their own problems and are in tough situations so they take their anger out on other people. Great video man.
I was Bullies - I went to the Youth Club in Shepparton and learned Boxing - I excelled. One of my teachers was the Cousin of Lionel Rose. He took me under his wing and taught me - and I am so grateful for that. The bullying stopped from the students but continued from teachers.
I was bullied heavily for being the smallest, this went on for many years, until I started boxing. I didn't have to throw a single punch, one day I was determined to end the bullying, I just grabbed the main bully by his clothes, and I kept telling him to punch me, I told him over and over again, but he didn't punch me, he broke down crying. The other bullies started bullying him next. Still a lot of trauma in those years, I still go to psychotherapy for it.
Sorry Champ, I just need to tell you one more thing, you are a real mentor and inspiration to all of us. We feel like you want to protect us all the time like a father. Love you man!
Such an inspiring story. I wish I would’ve learned self defense as a kid. Unfortunately I never really told my parents how bad it was until much later on. They were old school so they saw fighting as thuggery. I’m now an adult but I’m training in mixed martial arts and it’s been the best decision I ever made
Hey Coach Tony Outstanding video!!!! I'll be encouraging our local Grade schools to watch your video and messages. Your emotions really shows all of us how truly passionate you are and that is what makes a GREAT Coach!!!! Thank you
Tony, loved your honesty on how life really is, opposed to the fairy tale told by media. Great advice, and mentorship, True way of life, to never give up, and be an upstanding person, no matter who ever you are 👊
I was almost bullied in the 8th grade by someone who hit puberty a year or two before me and outweighed me by a good 20lbs. He tried to intimidate me into doing something for him. I was taking martial arts classes at the time and that gave me enough confidence to say no and walk away even though he would have completely mopped the floor with me if he wanted. He moved on to an easier target never bothered me again.

Tony seems like a great man. Tough, soft... all in one package. This guy shows what Jordan P. has said before... "Be a monster, then learn to control it". Happy for Tony's success! All the best.
Brought tears to my eyes! I grew up just like that but I had no parents to help me they were junkies, however I pushed on and I fell on love whith boxing and Muay Thai and won some titles,it taught me to love and respect people now I have a family of my own🤟 thanks boxing and thanks Tony for all your efforts to make this world better 🤟👌👍
Great video Tony, I hope this message gets out there to all those kids being bullied. As you said it can really ruin ones life and Boxing is such a great confidence builder and a good skill to have in your back pocket. I'm learning lots watching your boxing too. I changed schools in high school worst experience for a shy kid. Was humiliated constantly. I started learning martial arts and boxing in my late 30's wish I did it sooner. Now hoping to have my first fight at the young age of 46. My daughter has some learning difficulties, now I worry she is going to go through it. Hoping I can inspire her to take up boxing as it's a great sport/skill. Mark
During 6th grade it somehow got out that my dad was in prison and this one kid started bullying me about it. He was from Egypt, so I called his father Osama bin Laden, he face went red and he stormed off. The next day as we were leaving band class he tapped me on the shoulder from behind, and as a I turned around he kneed me hard in the gut. I stood up, threw a light jab and followed up with a decent cross. He dropped and woke up like 20 seconds later, I never got in trouble and nobody tried to mess with me or my sister for the rest of our time in school.
THANKS SO MUCH, TONY !! Excellent video, I wish I'd learnt boxing when I was bullied at school for so many reasons by both girls and boys, for them thinking I was gay, being a minority and not having many friends. Although all that constant teasing and bullying - both verbal and physical caused me to have many anxiety issues like OCD etc, I have tried to look at it positively and it has made me become the person I am today. After all those years, I'm learning boxing now..never too late. I sometimes reenact my experiences at school and imagine how I'd have reacted with the inspirational advice/boxing I've learnt from your videos! I wish I had a role model like you growing up!! Take care mate and God Bless!! ;-).
I went to a few different schools. I was a Policeman’s son during the miners strikes as well, near Easington and NE Durham. Got filled in a fair bit too as I spoke German. Had our windows tanned and my Dad would come and get me because there were lads outside wanted to fight me. All because I was new and my Dads job. Madness.
I have to give you much respects Tony cause saw this video too on Dhar Mann's channel cause I watch alot of his videos and when I saw your story it kinda made me break down into tears seeing that you kept going and continued to fight to become a great boxer that you are today. I mean you kinda reminded me of little Mac from the game punch out sorta in a way cause although the character is small he kept fighting and I would say Bobby was like Doc Louis little Mac's trainer cause he pushed you to keep fighting and no matter how many times you got knocked down you always managed to keep getting back up and keep fighting and you never gave up. I wish I could be just like you when it comes to depression I sometimes feel like giving up in life but you kinda motivated me to keep on going. if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't still be captain N the game master of videoland. I wouldn't be doing what I do as well and I wanted to thank you Tony for sharing your story with me. oh PS: by the way did Bobby ever by any chance tell you to join the Nintendo fun club today like Doc Louis does with little Mac? ha ha I know bad joke but seriously I wanted to say thank you Tony and good job. I learned alot from you.
this video Motivates me more to get stronger and fueling the fire inside of my heart to become a better human being than all assholes around me.. thanks Tony..
This is such a great inspirational story! This has also got to be one of my favourite Dhar Mann collabs out there, and what makes it more entertaining is how everyone else with a speaking role imitates a British accent!
I think everyone thats getting bullied wants bullies to be slow and dumb like in this film,its not reality so its little bit harder to deal with em,the bully was punching so slow,the actor didnt want to hurt him,it was 10 times actors were acting,his punching was slower than Minecraft java edition axe,and to anyone thats getting bullied stand up for yourself,you can make it if you want
21:41 That's exactly why i am subscribed in your channel, to learn boxing so that i could stand up for myself. Thank you so much for these videos you're posting, keep up the good work!
And a tip I would give if you are being bullied and cant get it too stop. Learn Jujitsu and boxing both. Jujitsu is great if its only 1 on 1. Standing up is better if there are more then one opponent. And sorry yall are going through this stay strong yall are going to make it. GOD Bless.
Great story. I really enjoy your videos. I used to get picked on for being the poor kid in school. I remember my tipping point was when I saw a timid guy who was smaller than me getting beaten up. I snapped and beat the crap out of everyone. I still hate bullies, but learned if I disengage soon enough that it usually diffuses the situation.
Real story of tony: beated the bully to a pulp Dhar man story: weave weave weave weave 🤣🤣😂😂 Tony is a savage. And your stamina videos helped me out a lot.
This should be a lesson to all those bullies out there. You are not putting someone down, you are only creating a champion feeding on fear, anger, revenge. Be carful since one day, all that energy will explode on you.
Thats why alot of people end up choosing fighting as a proffession they get bullied school, or abused at home, or go through what i went through and have both, so they end up beating people up to get revenge for a living, unresolved unheald trauma.
Standing up by yourself is the most confident part that you have to do. If you don't. The bulliers will try to cause more physical bully on you. As long as you can forget about the bulliers. Whatever they're trying to say. Just forget them. And always be happiness. You can be the best person ever! I also got bullied by the people just because of being quiet in school. This time, I definitely deserve better person. I don't deserve a physical bully. That's how I do to be as a student. I hope you can do the same thing.
I wish I met trainer like you in my youth, I went to boxing school when I was 12, saving money as I grew up in pretty poor house, for 2 lessons guy who was a trainer in there just told me to run for the whole time so I asked him on a 2nd lesson- I came to learn how to box, them exercises I can do around home or school, I payed you money for it, he went berserk on me, shouting he will show me how to f box, I ran from there and never went to other school but I always loved boxing even to this day I ve got boxing bag and gear at home and training on my own or doing pads with m8 btw. your channel is gold man keep it up good work
Great video Tony. Wow how things have changed from those days of bullying. Now with social media, cell phones etc. Bullies have taken it to the next level. ✝️🇺🇸🥊 Coach Mando from the Alamo City.
I got bullied too but I got back in a really smart way first I gathered as much evidences as I can and as karma hits I made my move by attacking them outside of school, the next day I knew they wanted a fight so I made sure everyone was watch after the small fight I showed all the proof I had of them after that I got them out of the school permanently
Hot take: “Dhar Mann” is as terrible for society as TikTok is. Mr. Jeffries, you’re great! Dhar man videos make me cringe harder than anything ever has, aside from the overall mess our society is in. Cheers lol
Hi Tony even through this is more based to tell great story and is partially fictional, watching your actual reactions, seeing your fore head sweat bullets about what actually happens really shows how the trauma of bullying actually affected you. But the great thing is how it built who you are and with TH-cam gives you that "look at me now" confidence. So great motivational clip and your add on to the film and personal recollection is beautiful.
I've been bullied quite a lot primarily because I was skinny I got stronger did kickboxing and got in a few fights learnt to become savage at roasting and I stopped getting bullied
I've had my older brother be bullied till he committed suicide, I really wish he shared more about what was going on with his situation because I know I would've taken all the punches in the world for him. It really doesn't seem that bad from the outside, but when you face it from school and your parents it can become overwhelming. I just hope everybody knows it's never too late to ask for help, never give up on life or people. It does get better, you'll find people that would do anything for you and you'd do the same for them. I don't really know what to say other than that, really do look for the people around you, they do love you and care about you.
Hey Tony I actually really felt proud of you after I notice that this was your video. I started watching you not to long ago and you are a good youtuber, keep going man👍
Super positive , don't bully don't encourage bullying ,stand up for the bullied

And im 31 years old now but bullying really affects people mentally its only at this age i realised that many of my problems are from my past, theres times i want to get revenge on the people who made my life hell but i see they moved on and changed but they dont see the affects of the bullying they did affected those who were the victims. Bullying really does change people forever.
Its true, thanks for sharing mate.
God bless you
God bless you man don't worry you're an amazing person and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise
@@Tony_Jeffries Ur the best boxer ever!
use it to your advantage bro, like I try to.
I started working out cause I used to get bullied in high school. I had a 6” growth spurt after high school and I’m now doing boxing, kick boxing, muy thai, and jiu jitsu. I don’t really get picked on anymore, but those years sucked.
That's great to hear mate, share your story and mine as well for awareness 🙏🏻
At what age was your growth spurt?
@@Tony_Jeffries wow hi Tony ur my idol man,
So I've been doing some boxing with my dad lately
And I hope to be a boxer just like U
See ya
I'm so sorry to hear that. May the Lord heal you and your heart. ☦️
@@Tony_Jeffriesman he got a growth spurt? well my 5'1 father just gave me an extra inch innit yeah? even lighter and shorter than the welter weight champ manny himself
Hi Tony, my Son (12) is currently having a hard time in his first year of secondary school. Been using some of your videos to get him working out with me (new to boxing myself). Starting to build some confidence, hoping he will stick with it. Will show him the short film. Cheers for your honesty, with how much you share
My boy is having a hard time as well but he can't fight back because he got head surgery from a....hematoma?. Basically his brain was bleeding so they fixed it. I want him to learn boxing to avoid punches not to throw them.
While been able to physically defend yourself I'd say knowing how to psychological defend yourself is more important, I got bullied at school and carried this with me for a long time, got some Bruce Lee books and it was actually his philosophy that helped me more than anything else
let's go
W dad W son
learn your kid to kick, kicks are badass and super effective, no one expects a hard fast powerful kick to the legs
I like how you’ve grown the channel and gained so many new subscribers. Keep up the hard work!
I got bullied for wearing glasses. I was 11 and in 6th grade. A bully who flunked and held back 2 years was 15. He pulled a knife on me walking through a field on my way home. He was a lot bigger than me, but I was trying to get stronger. I always had my backpack loaded with books to build muscle and clocked the kid in the head with my pack and he dropped. I took his knife and stuck it between 2 large rocks and kicked it until it broke. Kid never messed with me again.
who?
Jesus thats something
11 year olds go to 5th did u get transfored a grade up or something?
@@thatssponge8120 bruh not everyone starts on the same age 😂
And different countries still exist. I'm from the Philippines and I was 11 in Grade 6 with majority being 11 too, there are a few who are 10 and maybe 2 or 3 that are 12
@@remyhavoc4463 srry didn’t know ah
My biggest regret is never training as soon as I started getting bullied. I never boxed,exercised, or train but I still wanted to be tough. No one was around to teach me and I couldn't afford Tae Kwon Do anymore. I just couldn't learn on my own. Now I'm training and boxing just as my lifestyle.
I've been bullied, and also been the bully sometimes but the stinky shit said to me really did get me. But when i started boxing and LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEOS and learnt to fight, no one has ever dared to disrespect me in that sense ever. You changed MILLIONS of lives for sure tony, bless ya big man!
Man as someone who use to fight this makes me a bit emotional as well. GOD bless brother.
And a tip I would give if you are being bullied and cant get it too stop. Learn Jujitsu and boxing both. Jujitsu is great if its only 1 on 1. Standing up is better if there are more then one opponent. And sorry yall are going through this stay strong yall are going to make it. GOD Bless.

This video is great tony ! When I was 13 In the 7th grade I was a fat kid and I got picked on by the 8th graders and on the way home from school they would throw rocks at me and thank god I was at least 50 yards away from them and I remember going home and just feeling hopeless .... there wasn’t any martial arts schools around my area or I would’ve been there ! I feel your pain and now at 33 I’ve trained a bit of Muay Thai and Boxing and I’ll never compete but I am confident and it’s funny because all of those guys that did that to me couldn’t touch me now ! I am 100 percent against bullying and will shut it down in any situation! Thanks for the video ! This made me happy .
You have to compete bro, just treat it as part of your training!
Most of the time there's a deeper story with bullies, not that it makes it right, but majority of the time bullies are being bullied at home! Sad vicious circle, causes deep psychological damage! Boxing is good for self confidence for the bullied and the bullies.... you hardly see a boxer being bullied or even bully other people!
Thanks for sharing Tony, very emotional.
Reading through the comments, this story resonates with a worryingly large number of people.
Love your honesty Tony 💯
You’re a true champion 🥊
Endless respects Sir 🙌🏼
You’re an inspiration mate. I will say when I saw that actor playing your dad I thought I can’t see Phil doing that as he’s a no bs straight talker, I can see him reacting the same way my dad did which was tell you to fight him back which as you said is what really happened. Although my dad would teach me to fight by beating me up thinking it would toughen me up which I can’t say worked. Thank fully your dad sent you to the boxing gym where you became a boxing icon 👊
I appreciate it ma man, means a lot 🙏🏻
Tony is a breath of fresh air on TH-cam. Great to see a man who is here for our men.
Amazing Tony. Had me thinking back to my childhood, and to Why I started mma and my music because of the bully’s in school. From year 9 no one ever touched me again after I put my bully on the deck.
Yes Sir ! Bullying is a serious issue, one which is ignored and becomes the main reason for today’s Gun Violence in school and events. Especially in school, a kid who has been continuously bullied since young age will have a mindset which will perceive Society as a Threat or root cause for his problems. Thus keeping a safe and healthy environment in schools is must protocol now schools should follow.

Great clip Tony 👍
The timing of this clip could not be better - I‘m just back from a school reunion I helped to organise. While looking to contact the 200+ guys in our year we found that some of them had fallen on hard times and we decided to bring this to the attention of the group - I got to make a speech about the importance of looking out for each other in the years ahead.
During the speech our year‘s bully / ar@ehole in chief tried to drown out my speech by cheering loudly, hoping everyone would join in - they didn’t and he shut up - I took a sip of water and carried on regardless. I guess some people are hopeless cases …
Thanks for sharing Peter,
The funny thing about training martial arts is the better ya get the less shite ya get from people. I often think its the mental change that is more powerful than anything else.
Your right about that, in my case I get the same feeling when I work out, lifting weights, just getting in shape, it lifts your self esteem, improving your confidence. You get this feeling if someone is stupid enough to fuck with you, they're going to get their ass kicked ! Definitely improves a person's confidence in themself !
That little British boy went ahead to: "Punch Santa's beard off!"
Thanks Tony it's very touching for all of us who suffered at school. 💜
Tony! Would you be able to make a video on a breakdown on Gennadys jab? Or how well Canelo got out jabbed? Breakdown of jabs are always great
I actually discovered about you and your channel from the Dhar Mann video and been watching a few videos of yours.
It was great to see your reaction video, learning about what really happened and how you did overcome those challenges to reach where you are!
You're a legend!!
Thank you for visiting Chirag, means a lot 🙏🏻

I also got bullied not because of my appearance but because of my personality. I was a people pleaser and overall weak kid back in my days and i easilly get cry when i'm overwhelmed. But as i grew up and more exposed in the reality of life I understand that it's my fault for being weak and it's time to improve myself.
One time in my school I was always bullied from a girl and I stood up for myself and my parents they were so whenever you fall down you get up on your feet, so your story these memories of me getting bullied
Wow
@@nervanahmed-jw6rbbro why are you saying “wow” to yourself
I remember when I was about a half year into boxing I thought I learned nothing but when I got into a fight at school with a kid I then learned how good this training really was
Amazing video, a real powerful and positive message being sent out, you could see how proud you are and rightly so. Being bullied is such a horrible experience and it can stay with you, but I use it for motivation. Thanks for sharing
Exactly John, Thanks mate. If u don’t mind, could u please share this vid on ya social media please. Will really help me out :) All good if not 👊🏻
@@Tony_Jeffries happy to share Tony
You don't need to change who you are if you are bullied. A lot of people are saying how they changed themselves whether it's through working out, starting karate or ju jitsu, being more confident, getting a nice haircut, wearing nicer clothes. That's good but I find that it's best not to give a crap what bullies think AND do what you like. I like to think about it like this.
"I want to get stronger so I can defend myself in a tough situation or be calmed enough when angry." My da taught me that the reason bullies, well, bully is because they are dealing with their own problems and are in tough situations so they take their anger out on other people.
Great video man.
I used to get bullied relentlessly it traumatized me badly.
Hope your ok now mate
The most people who get into Combat-Sports were bullied in school. Me too.
Great story and helps explain your passion. Glad you take the time and huge effort to share all you so. Not just great techniques but real lessons!
I was Bullies - I went to the Youth Club in Shepparton and learned Boxing - I excelled. One of my teachers was the Cousin of Lionel Rose. He took me under his wing and taught me - and I am so grateful for that. The bullying stopped from the students but continued from teachers.
I was bullied heavily for being the smallest, this went on for many years, until I started boxing. I didn't have to throw a single punch, one day I was determined to end the bullying, I just grabbed the main bully by his clothes, and I kept telling him to punch me, I told him over and over again, but he didn't punch me, he broke down crying. The other bullies started bullying him next. Still a lot of trauma in those years, I still go to psychotherapy for it.
I hear you buddy. It can have lasting impact. Stay strong.
Can't imagine mate, I hope this video will help you overcome that.
Sorry Champ, I just need to tell you one more thing, you are a real mentor and inspiration to all of us. We feel like you want to protect us all the time like a father. Love you man!
Such an inspiring story. I wish I would’ve learned self defense as a kid. Unfortunately I never really told my parents how bad it was until much later on. They were old school so they saw fighting as thuggery. I’m now an adult but I’m training in mixed martial arts and it’s been the best decision I ever made
Hey Coach Tony
Outstanding video!!!! I'll be encouraging our local Grade schools to watch your video and messages.
Your emotions really shows all of us how truly passionate you are and that is what makes a GREAT Coach!!!!
Thank you
Tony, loved your honesty on how life really is, opposed to the fairy tale told by media.
Great advice, and mentorship,
True way of life, to never give up, and be an upstanding person, no matter who ever you are 👊
I used to get bullied but when I learned boxing, well that guy ended with 2 broken ribs
Tony I know exactly how you feel my friend I have been picked on my whole life when I was a kid because of my appearance
After 27 years he still remembers it vividly... These things really stick to you...
I was almost bullied in the 8th grade by someone who hit puberty a year or two before me and outweighed me by a good 20lbs. He tried to intimidate me into doing something for him. I was taking martial arts classes at the time and that gave me enough confidence to say no and walk away even though he would have completely mopped the floor with me if he wanted. He moved on to an easier target never bothered me again.
Size not everything

Tony seems like a great man. Tough, soft... all in one package. This guy shows what Jordan P. has said before... "Be a monster, then learn to control it". Happy for Tony's success! All the best.
Brought tears to my eyes! I grew up just like that but I had no parents to help me they were junkies, however I pushed on and I fell on love whith boxing and Muay Thai and won some titles,it taught me to love and respect people now I have a family of my own🤟 thanks boxing and thanks Tony for all your efforts to make this world better 🤟👌👍
Great video Tony, I hope this message gets out there to all those kids being bullied. As you said it can really ruin ones life and Boxing is such a great confidence builder and a good skill to have in your back pocket.
I'm learning lots watching your boxing too. I changed schools in high school worst experience for a shy kid. Was humiliated constantly. I started learning martial arts and boxing in my late 30's wish I did it sooner. Now hoping to have my first fight at the young age of 46.
My daughter has some learning difficulties, now I worry she is going to go through it. Hoping I can inspire her to take up boxing as it's a great sport/skill.

During 6th grade it somehow got out that my dad was in prison and this one kid started bullying me about it. He was from Egypt, so I called his father Osama bin Laden, he face went red and he stormed off. The next day as we were leaving band class he tapped me on the shoulder from behind, and as a I turned around he kneed me hard in the gut. I stood up, threw a light jab and followed up with a decent cross. He dropped and woke up like 20 seconds later, I never got in trouble and nobody tried to mess with me or my sister for the rest of our time in school.
Great job
It was courageous of you to be so honest about your past. Been there, done that, and I can relate. Thanks man!
THANKS SO MUCH, TONY !! Excellent video, I wish I'd learnt boxing when I was bullied at school for so many reasons by both girls and boys, for them thinking I was gay, being a minority and not having many friends. Although all that constant teasing and bullying - both verbal and physical caused me to have many anxiety issues like OCD etc, I have tried to look at it positively and it has made me become the person I am today. After all those years, I'm learning boxing now..never too late. I sometimes reenact my experiences at school and imagine how I'd have reacted with the inspirational advice/boxing I've learnt from your videos! I wish I had a role model like you growing up!! Take care mate and God Bless!! ;-).
Awsome video my man i had my 12 and 13 yeqr old boy and girl get off their devices to watch it!!! Thanks man
Love you're videos
I went to a few different schools. I was a Policeman’s son during the miners strikes as well, near Easington and NE Durham. Got filled in a fair bit too as I spoke German. Had our windows tanned and my Dad would come and get me because there were lads outside wanted to fight me. All because I was new and my Dads job. Madness.
I have to give you much respects Tony cause saw this video too on Dhar Mann's channel cause I watch alot of his videos and when I saw your story it kinda made me break down into tears seeing that you kept going and continued to fight to become a great boxer that you are today. I mean you kinda reminded me of little Mac from the game punch out sorta in a way cause although the character is small he kept fighting and I would say Bobby was like Doc Louis little Mac's trainer cause he pushed you to keep fighting and no matter how many times you got knocked down you always managed to keep getting back up and keep fighting and you never gave up. I wish I could be just like you when it comes to depression I sometimes feel like giving up in life but you kinda motivated me to keep on going. if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't still be captain N the game master of videoland. I wouldn't be doing what I do as well and I wanted to thank you Tony for sharing your story with me. oh PS: by the way did Bobby ever by any chance tell you to join the Nintendo fun club today like Doc Louis does with little Mac? ha ha I know bad joke but seriously I wanted to say thank you Tony and good job. I learned alot from you.
this video Motivates me more to get stronger and fueling the fire inside of my heart to become a better human being than all assholes around me.. thanks Tony..
i got bullied twice, once in junior school then high school by 8 people.
I love your energy tony keep up the good work
Best thing about this short film is watching so many actors attempting to talk in a Geordie accent
Wtf is the thumbnail Tony man ❤😂😂
This is such a great inspirational story! This has also got to be one of my favourite Dhar Mann collabs out there, and what makes it more entertaining is how everyone else with a speaking role imitates a British accent!
Nice video mate, cool that Dharr mann made one about you
I was also a victim of bullies, now I'm a bully proof tnx sir for awesome video
Thanks for watching Dennis,

I think everyone thats getting bullied wants bullies to be slow and dumb like in this film,its not reality so its little bit harder to deal with em,the bully was punching so slow,the actor didnt want to hurt him,it was 10 times actors were acting,his punching was slower than Minecraft java edition axe,and to anyone thats getting bullied stand up for yourself,you can make it if you want
21:41 That's exactly why i am subscribed in your channel, to learn boxing so that i could stand up for myself. Thank you so much for these videos you're posting, keep up the good work!

Great story. I really enjoy your videos. I used to get picked on for being the poor kid in school. I remember my tipping point was when I saw a timid guy who was smaller than me getting beaten up. I snapped and beat the crap out of everyone. I still hate bullies, but learned if I disengage soon enough that it usually diffuses the situation.
Real story of tony: beated the bully to a pulp
Dhar man story: weave weave weave weave
🤣🤣😂😂 Tony is a savage. And your stamina videos helped me out a lot.
This should be a lesson to all those bullies out there. You are not putting someone down, you are only creating a champion feeding on fear, anger, revenge. Be carful since one day, all that energy will explode on you.

I like how he's reacting to himself because he knows exactly how it feels because this was HIS story
Older Tony’s accent much much betta
Thats why alot of people end up choosing fighting as a proffession they get bullied school, or abused at home, or go through what i went through and have both, so they end up beating people up to get revenge for a living, unresolved unheald trauma.
How can i send video to you cuz i want knockout somebody ❤️
Standing up by yourself is the most confident part that you have to do. If you don't. The bulliers will try to cause more physical bully on you. As long as you can forget about the bulliers. Whatever they're trying to say. Just forget them. And always be happiness. You can be the best person ever! I also got bullied by the people just because of being quiet in school. This time, I definitely deserve better person. I don't deserve a physical bully. That's how I do to be as a student. I hope you can do the same thing.
I got bullied to I’m 11 now and I love martial art I’m am a girl and I just love martial art

I wish I met trainer like you in my youth, I went to boxing school when I was 12, saving money as I grew up in pretty poor house, for 2 lessons guy who was a trainer in there just told me to run for the whole time so I asked him on a 2nd lesson- I came to learn how to box, them exercises I can do around home or school, I payed you money for it, he went berserk on me, shouting he will show me how to f box, I ran from there and never went to other school but I always loved boxing even to this day I ve got boxing bag and gear at home and training on my own or doing pads with m8 btw. your channel is gold man keep it up good work
Good accents 😂 are they Scottish, Australian or Macken?
I’ve not seen acting this good since Goodfellas.
Great video Tony. Wow how things have changed from those days of bullying. Now with social media, cell phones etc. Bullies have taken it to the next level. ✝️🇺🇸🥊 Coach Mando from the Alamo City.
Exactly Coach, we just need to educate people about bullying
Flashback in the mid June of 2022
Quality accents like.
Same here, bullies at a "christian" school. Many years later, when I learnt the sweet science of boxing, just beat up the bullies and was left alone.
I got bullied too but I got back in a really smart way first I gathered as much evidences as I can and as karma hits I made my move by attacking them outside of school, the next day I knew they wanted a fight so I made sure everyone was watch after the small fight I showed all the proof I had of them after that I got them out of the school permanently
I have no idea what accent any of these accents these actors are attempting😂. Inspiring story all the same well in.
Hot take: “Dhar Mann” is as terrible for society as TikTok is.
Mr. Jeffries, you’re great!
Dhar man videos make me cringe harder than anything ever has, aside from the overall mess our society is in.

Hi Tony even through this is more based to tell great story and is partially fictional, watching your actual reactions, seeing your fore head sweat bullets about what actually happens really shows how the trauma of bullying actually affected you. But the great thing is how it built who you are and with TH-cam gives you that "look at me now" confidence. So great motivational clip and your add on to the film and personal recollection is beautiful.
Dharman is so cringe man 😂 only watched 20 seconds and i can't stand this 😂
Whats cringe about dharmann
it’s cringe, but it’s not that level of cringe where it’s unwatchable..

I've been bullied quite a lot primarily because I was skinny I got stronger did kickboxing and got in a few fights learnt to become savage at roasting and I stopped getting bullied
Lol I Love How Tony Got Everybody To Talk In British Lol
I've had my older brother be bullied till he committed suicide, I really wish he shared more about what was going on with his situation because I know I would've taken all the punches in the world for him. It really doesn't seem that bad from the outside, but when you face it from school and your parents it can become overwhelming.
I just hope everybody knows it's never too late to ask for help, never give up on life or people. It does get better, you'll find people that would do anything for you and you'd do the same for them. I don't really know what to say other than that, really do look for the people around you, they do love you and care about you.
Hey Tony I actually really felt proud of you after I notice that this was your video. I started watching you not to long ago and you are a good youtuber, keep going man👍
