@@Ash__Adler you arent wrong. But if your focus is too much on combat SPORTS, you can easily go in the wrong direction, if you want to train for self defence.

@@e.e.8589 For self-defense purposes, you don't learn those takedowns or advanced locks to use them.

Same theory as Nathan Corbett never drilling how to defend against elbow strikes because he knew how to use them well enough to understand how to stop them.
It's also weirdly easy to accidentally end up standing up by scrambling for the back with more enthusiasm than technique, but it's easy to forget you were trying to stand in the first place when you're doing that.
I remember going in a bit of grump because we where doing butterfly guard (in bjj class)… I kept thinking surely nobody is going to shuffle around on their bum In a fight.. then I searched up butterfly guard in mma.. it’s all about context.

Thanks coach ! I always learn something new from every video you make. The jump back with technical standup is really cool , now I understand why I got crowded so often, and had to bail back to guard, when I was doing it in the past. Lifting your opponents foot , as you both are about to try to stand up, is one of my favourite moves. It's let me stand up first so many times.

i like how you adress the fact that jiujitsu sometimes gives you a wrong idea about how fights go down. Even in NoGi class i continuosly think to myself... yeah ok sure looks fine but you could never pull that off in any fight where striking is allowed as well.
Fantastic!!! I don't know how your videos line up with all of my coaches lessons but it's so awesome because you add on to what my coach says. Very basic movements that aren't always so common!
From bottom of mount sometimes you can mix it up off the bridge by rolling to turtle and getting out the back door or using any of the wrestling referee position escapes. Getting stuck in turtle is bad but getting through it quickly works
At 2:15 I believe this is called a pendulum sweep (hooking the back of the knee) or a flower sweep (same basic motion but grabbing pant leg near ankle instead in gi jiu jitsu).
This is completely consistent with the technique we use to regain our feet. At our school we train multiple attacker drills and usually discourage going or staying on the ground. Our preferred technique is to first make space by bridging or shrimping, then attacking a vital area (eyes, striking nose) to distract, then either kicking the legs back and standing like you showed or rolling out the opposite direction and popping up to the feet. This can make it harder for a group to surround you and stomp kick if you’re taken down.
Ramsey, there is a channel called "martial arts journey" talking about a tournament for TH-cam martial arts instructors....and in the comments.....your name keeps coming up as champion! Thought you'd like to hear about the comment section
Thx Ramsey,here´s that WC/JKD-Streetfighting guy from germany again. Told you guys like EMIN BOZTEPE and VICTOR GUTIERRES tried to develop "ANTI-GRAPPLING",this fits in well,from BJJ and CAPOERA ...?!!!😳
What an excellent technique. I just remembered a bumper-sticker from the eighties - If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. I amend that bumpersticker and I don't know how to compress it. Respect and Honesty, That's All They Want. way too corny, Imma work the phrase. I got bloodied by a dude in 1976 on the sidewalk, he threw a cup of ice on me as we walked in opposite directions. His non-karate buddy kept pace. I turned around and assumed an absurd stance, a parody of Chinese kung-fu movies. He stopped moving for 3 seconds and sized me up and kicked the living shite outta me (on the ground) until his friend screams "He doesn't know karate!" and his aggro mentor stopped beating me. I baffled with bullshit for 3 seconds. I say it counts. My split lip got infected when I scurried to the Island and I lived long enough to develop immunity. No Ka Oi. That means, the best. I met Koishi Tohei on the island and he rocked my world.
Some people can generate power in their strikes as they lay pinned on the ground.. It's like a 3-in punch. If you're given the room to swing your shoulders just a little bit, You can generate power to actually punch or elbow pretty hard.
@@User-54631 no way ! 🤨 you can create Way more power laying flat on your face. You use your hamstring to do a scorpion kick. Maybe Ramsey can demonstrate 😃🙏
From guard bottom position, elbows are heavily underutilized in MMA right now. It’s not usually a fight ending technique by itself, but a series of calculated strikes can motivate your opponent to move the way you want him to move, create space, and set up your get ups, sweeps, and submissions.
That is because of something you always say: People don't train MMA as a its own sport, they grapple and strike separately so no one strikes in bjj class.
As a fencer this won't snag me a win but I greatly enjoyed learning new things. Is there a martial art that could make me a better fencer? I'm not overly concerned with self defense in this context. The big items are, explosiveness, flexibility, and stamina. Subscribed.
A few of my students were fencers. The best one loved boxing and always talked about how much athletic crossover there was between fencing and boxing. They’re radically different sports, but he seemed to find a strong connection.
@@barrybbenson7025 TKD looks the funnest to be honest. I know people look down at it but just to be able to spin in the air all the time like that must take a lot of gymnastic mastery.
Yo Ramsey, i found a solution to your weight cutting problem: Test fighters for their water levels at the weigh ins, and if they’re below the pre-determined level then they’re not allowed to fight. The percentage is up to you, and you can make them fight at their complete natural weights by setting a high enough water percentage. You cannot cut weight without water drainage, so boom. Easy solution.
Hydration tests are the easiest to cheat. Just add water to the urine. Just have day off weigh ins right before the fight. That’s the only viable solution.
That’s the position that strikers who don’t wrestle will find themselves in about 2 seconds into a fight- if they’re lucky enough to not get mounted or stuck in side control.
One thing that completely changed my bridgin was doing it with my ankles off the floor, I get way taller, and there's much more room to maneuvre. What do you think about it?
I've always thought it was kinda odd how many mixed martial artists just seem to resign themselves to playing BJJ just because they go to the ground. You don't have to if you don't want to! The ghost of Helio Gracie won't haunt you if you try to stand up instead of trying for that hail mary Americonda! Your opponent is never going to willingly put you in a position he thinks you can beat him in, so if he wants you on the ground, you don't want to be there.
The point here is if you are taken to the ground and mounted or whatever. How do you deal with such a situation?. You need to stay calm and save your energy. Keep your opponent as close as you can to your body so they cannot generate any power to hit you.. As your bear hugging them, you can use your legs to start getting out of that mounted position. If you don't know these things, you're going to be pummeled.
@@e.e.8589 Isn't that all the more reason to NOT want to play BJJ with the guy? Just because someone's in your guard doesn't men the rules change from MMA tp IBJJF.
Question. I am having lower back problems. Not major, but it's there. I make sure to do pull-ups every day, and hang, and that got rid of the upper back problems, but it did not help my lower back any more asde from relieving a little pressure. Do youu have exsersize I can do for the isolatevthe lower back?
Question: is there such a thing in the scientific literature as "optimal muscle mass" for particular activity? And how one can determine it for a specific activity? Or should I just look at the most successful athletes involved in a particular activity? E.g., I do pole dancing, and the more mass I have in my body, the more mass I need to be able to lift and move in the air. So, I need less mass to be lighter, but at the same time I need more mass to be able to reach higher acceleration.
If your opponent narrows his base like that trying to squeeze your torso with his legs to stay on top, that’s when bridging and rolling becomes easiest. Mount escapes are all about alternating between plan A and plan B until you find the way out.
Hi coach im training shotokan karate and bjj , and i want to start training tkd because i want to learn all the kick combos in that style is it posible to train 3 styles at the samw time or should i stick to just the 2 im training already
Btw probably that is why bjj guys excel best in mma if they are focusing on their striking and stand ups. Bjj in a real fight function as anti wrestling and anti g&p rather than a proactive grappling style. And to be honest if you love bjj and have a good guard game probably you will never be a good wrestler. While boxing dosen't interfer w your bjj habits. Probably they don't even have a stance....
Ramsey I got an idea for a video. For starters now imagine you got access to some incredible medical device like in the movie Elysium, that can instantly heal all injuries including brain damage. Ok so a group of people with no martial arts training are going to learn to fight just by fighting each other several times a day every day until they get good. And in-between fights they use that medical device. After a decade or so practicing how good do you think would be at fighting? And what do you imagine their fighting style to look like?
Interesting question. It’s entirely possible that we make dramatic improvement specifically because we are mortal, killable, easy to injure- and those injuries are often permanent. It creates a sense of urgency that could not exist without the consequences of violence. So while that technology would be amazing, I’m not sure it would produce next level fighters.
@@RamseyDewey Effectively, you could end up with the equivalent of modern sport fencing compared to historical martial fencing, where the goal is often to cause the 'damage' first without necessarily worrying about defending yourself from the counter stroke a moment later because it won't matter.
The other interesting question is, if you have a machine that speeds healing to instant, could you train to absolute exhaustion, heal up and do it again? Could you cram decades worth of strength training into a year or so? How strong could you make people at early twenties with the relative training history of a life-long athlete..?
Pretty sure there was an AI team that ran a simulation in a “gladiator pit” with multiple unskilled AI combatants. Constant combat and respawn for a set amount of time, and by the end of simulation, time lapsed forward, the AI had discovered all of the “best” techniques for defeating their opponents and not themselves being defeated.
The question still remains as to why anyone would WANT to rush getting up in such a predicament - most people seemingly overlooking the power & support which the ground can provide.
This vid is for strikers who don't know how to take advantage of having their back to the ground. Obv if all you know is striking you'll be worse of on the ground as it's harder to hit anything with full force.
@@RamseyDewey well the idea is to get his punch to land on my elbow, tho I suppose gloves worn in competitions defeats that objective - however I am also other than referring to any competitions.
@@oranges557 Perhaps Not, with the most likely routes there being via strike impact or collision with the ground by other means (such as a throw or takedown); often resulting in rather a dazed demeanor. Tho I'd often thought it would be quite a crowd pleaser to see someone starting off by getting on the ground intentionally, and then ending up winning the bout ! But my original intention was in attempting to alleviate any panic.
hey coach I just started MMA it's my second week and they've already got me sparring or maybe I should say getting the crap kicked out of me because I am so new. I am trying to transition from boxing. which I am not very good at this at all but maybe with practice at least get to where I can protect myself. my coach isn't really teaching me a lot of technique it's kind of more some basic stuff and then figuring things out on their own he teaches a little more grappling but with the striking not so much it taught me a kick but not how to defend a kick. as there really aren't any other martial arts places in the area I live you have any advice? on how I can improve and learn things?
Off topic coach,but have you ever done a video on why the jab isn't utilized much in mma? And should it be used more.Or less in mma.Can't find a good answer on this topic.when I do a Google search.
Whenever I bring up the same priority list, my diehard BJJ guys will list the (short) handful of exceptions to the rule that have seen some success with a "purist" BJJ approach like Ryan Hall. Which is great and that dude is undoubtedly super good, but the effort that goes into ignoring the times he's lost on the ground is... weird. BJJ is an amazing martial art and the MA world is better for having it, but this weird polarizing effect sport BJJ has had really needs to be internally policed better, imo. I know so, so many amazing sport competitors who think BJJ is the Aryan Super Race Martial Art (tm) and that good takedowns and strikes are just a waste of time. Its wild to me that martial disciplines have become so isolated in their specialization that many just dismiss everything outside their view. The disparity between how skilled some of these folks are and their complete ignorance outside their particular discipline is absolutely jarring.

The question still remains as to why anyone would WANT to rush getting up in such a predicament - most people seemingly overlooking the power & support which the ground can provide.
This vid is for strikers who don't know how to take advantage of having their back to the ground. Obv if all you know is striking you'll be worse of on the ground as it's harder to hit anything with full force.
The top guy cracking your skull with his elbows makes it feel urgent for some reason.
@@RamseyDewey well the idea is to get his punch to land on my elbow, tho I suppose gloves worn in competitions defeats that objective - however I am also other than referring to any competitions.
@@Devi_Shammuramat nah, dont wanna be on the ground in a street fight.
@@oranges557 Perhaps Not, with the most likely routes there being via strike impact or collision with the ground by other means (such as a throw or takedown); often resulting in rather a dazed demeanor. Tho I'd often thought it would be quite a crowd pleaser to see someone starting off by getting on the ground intentionally, and then ending up winning the bout !
But my original intention was in attempting to alleviate any panic.
Man, I wanna train under you. I learned more BJJ from this than I did actually sparring for three years.
hey coach I just started MMA it's my second week and they've already got me sparring or maybe I should say getting the crap kicked out of me because I am so new. I am trying to transition from boxing. which I am not very good at this at all but maybe with practice at least get to where I can protect myself. my coach isn't really teaching me a lot of technique it's kind of more some basic stuff and then figuring things out on their own he teaches a little more grappling but with the striking not so much it taught me a kick but not how to defend a kick. as there really aren't any other martial arts places in the area I live you have any advice? on how I can improve and learn things?
Off topic coach,but have you ever done a video on why the jab isn't utilized much in mma? And should it be used more.Or less in mma.Can't find a good answer on this topic.when I do a Google search.
It’s the most common punch in MMA. It’s the also the most common way to lead and set up a combination in MMA. Who are watching in the UFC right now?
@@RamseyDewey The only UFC fighter.that I can remember using the jab affectly was GSP, but am behind the times.

Whenever I bring up the same priority list, my diehard BJJ guys will list the (short) handful of exceptions to the rule that have seen some success with a "purist" BJJ approach like Ryan Hall. Which is great and that dude is undoubtedly super good, but the effort that goes into ignoring the times he's lost on the ground is... weird. BJJ is an amazing martial art and the MA world is better for having it, but this weird polarizing effect sport BJJ has had really needs to be internally policed better, imo. I know so, so many amazing sport competitors who think BJJ is the Aryan Super Race Martial Art (tm) and that good takedowns and strikes are just a waste of time. Its wild to me that martial disciplines have become so isolated in their specialization that many just dismiss everything outside their view. The disparity between how skilled some of these folks are and their complete ignorance outside their particular discipline is absolutely jarring.
I always think why MMA fighters hug oponent with legs. Oponent can punch the legs, throw you. Grab upwards kick.
Punch the legs?
@@dmfaccount1272 Yes. Punch the legs. I don't know if that is legal in UFC or MMA rules. But there are very effective punches vs legs.
If you can punch their face then why would you punch their legs?
@@LORDVADER357 that'd be more like a kick to the fist.
@@donpedro3374
Cause you cant punch their face. Oponent throws kicks at you. Punch you. Its like to ask why there are low lkicks to legs while you can kick their face instead. Cause you cant. Also punch to legs if very effective.
What would krav maga man do?
I wonder if you have ever read the Quran man i hope you do
It’s been 23 years since I read the Quran. Maybe I’ll take a look at it again. Have you read the Book of Mormon? You should check it out too.
@@RamseyDewey i will check it out. Many new discoveries about the Quran including scientifical, linguistical you name it but i think if u read it now ur gonna be very intrigued hopefully i read it two years ago give or take, it didn't take much for me to be convinced
What? You guys can't get up? Pfftt
I'm lazy 🦥
Hahahaha
They need some Derrick Lewis inspiration.
I was watching this weapons focused TH-cam account attempt dual shields vs sword+shield and the performance of the dual shield was very poor. They admitted to not having brawling training and only having weapons training.
I was wondering if you had the same dual shields or anyone else with a proper brawling background, would they be more capable in the same setup.
video descriptions as follows. please take a look.
