ranton hear me, a athlete of 5 year of kung fu pak mei win a fighter of jiu jitsu ok and was a fight of UFC if want I show the link to you, I want see you asks sorry to our master, please
Can someone give me a hint abouth the korea thing? Is ranton claiming to be korean super solider practicing Teukgong Moosool (TGMS) besides having his own secret monastery in his basement, with park, wells and everything?
My brother, had a blast with you that week, so happy I met you and your amazing wife. You showed massive improvement during the season, you have a unique combination of pure heart with Deadly hands and I’m sure you will keep on growing as a martial artist for many years to come. Always know; My Steam Deck is your Steam Deck 😎 Hope to see you again soon! 👊🏼❤️
True and based. I still haven't recovered from that spinning backkick, not like I got hit, I just shat myself and spit out my water when it happened. Oh the shame. Well deserved win chief, you got a new fan sir.
@@kevinbjorkman7225absolute legend, I felt that shit through the screen, stood up with my hands on my head like a world war 3 started, absolutely phenomenal mate and I hope you recover soon
ranton lost because he couldn’t use his crazy shaolin powers to not expose the secrets of the temple, don’t worry ranton we know you were suppressing your power levels.
Renton, dude. As someone who’s trained mma for years, you have insanely good punching power, speed and accuracy. The mechanics of the left hook in particular was extremely impressive. You’d be a monster mma fighter
“Make peace with the fact that you’re going to get stabbed and just swing for his head!” Sir, despite your lack of experience and poor performance in the first 2 challenges, I think what you said and then DID with the Shank Tank is one of the highlights of not just this season but I think it’s one of the best take home lessons of the entire USDC. Period! Great job man and you’re a big inspiration!
@hard2hurt you and Sensei Seth were my picks for season 1 Ranton and Jesse were my picks for season 2!!! Now, I want to see a USDC with the 4 of you (and regular guy Craig, and obvi with Jeff chan)
Proud of you, you did great man. Most of my favorite quotes were from you, and I was cheering for ya. Good stuff man. Your sportsmanship is very admirable
You might have lost the competition, but you won the hearts of your fans. You were such a joy to watch, and your enthusiasm and exuberance came out on screen. You took on some legit professional fighters and did twice as good as I could have.
Swinging for the head in the knife fight was actually so smart. Maximize your survivability chances by trying to neutralize your opponent as quickly as possible.
Ranton is a Legend guy is just so nice to people and just a bro that he lost while still giggling and laughing and caring for others amazing truly shows how good a person he is
I think they should bring you back for 2 reasons : 1. To show your progress, i bet you became a stronger and certainly a more confident man after this event and your competitions. (At least it feels like) 2. You're too damn good to watch. Your personnality and stuff just make you so funny, you were a star of the show in your own rights
Ranton, all of us have definitely won thanks to you taking part. You conduct yourself in such a wholesome, genuine, funny and relatable way, that you make EVERY situation better just by being present. It's a different level of self defense victory, because having more people like you in the world would make it a better and safer place with less need for self defense :)
The spirit you showed in this tournament was priceless 🔥 what i think is that you really broke your limits here and that is allways a pleasure to see! Btw been lurking on this channel and watching your vids since the rdr2 review days 😎 also much love from finland ❤
You were the only competitor i hadnt heard of before (other than Craig of course). But i was inspired by your growth and i am now a loyal subscriber. Great things ahead for you Ranton. Great things
For someone who had never thrown a punch at another human, your ability to land power shots in the moment was very, very impressive. Nice work dude, you have done yourself proud!
Love it! ❤🎉 You are an inspiring character Ranton. Very unique, intelligent (if a bit sophomoric) sense of humor. You were the first TH-camr I subscribed to and binge watched. Fell in love with your editing, and silly non-sequitors mixed with your authenticity. Keep it up brother, please. 👍🏾
I lost all three of my legs in 1916 and haven't been able to climb stairs since. My father was killed by a Viking in the battle of Stamford Bridge, and he used to love your videos. Your videos these past 108 years have really kept me going and helped me reconnect with my father, and for that i am eternally grateful
Hi Ranton, I hope you see this. I started watching this show a few weeks ago because I find fighting and self defence so interesting. I'm a 5'1 girl that weighs about 50kgs and got assaulted by a random drunk guy last week while I was having coffee for not giving him a cigarette, and have been suffering from Acute Stress Disorder (the precursor to PTSD) symptoms ever since. I've wanted to take up a combat sport for a long time but since that incident I didn't think I could do that, but watching you and your positive attitude about everything makes me think that maybe I can give it a shot again and that things will be okay. Thanks for being you.
Just make sure not to fall for any scam self-defence stuff. Learn some legit combat martial arts which ranton himself has clarified many times. Also stay safe, aware, and confident. The best fights are those that are avoided, so just dip if you have the chance lol as most of us would in real life. Try to learn from the past incident instead of letting get a hold of you, what's done is done. Seek professional help if needed of course.
@@MKIS_33 Thank you, friend. I am going to sign up to a Krav Maga gym when therapy has gotten me to a place where I can spar without getting flashbacks.
@@shinpi6669no disrespect, but krav maga is not as legit as you may think it. If they gym also has other disciplines like mma, kickboxing, bjj, etc. then it’s legit as a whole, but if it’s only krav maga you should check out other gyms with multiple disciplines. Most if not all gyms offer 1-2 free trial classes, if they don’t might be sketchy as well.
Rantoni, it was such a delight seeing you on the show. I found it having no idea you were even in it, the smile on my face when I saw you in the cast first episode. Unreal! I've been with you since 50K subs. Seeing your rise is one of life's many blessings for me. Don't ever stop! 💜
Watching all the behind the scenes stuff on everyone's channels was almost as much fun as watching the real deal; the brotherhood and good vibes between all of you guys were amazing to see
tip for Rokas in regards to having enough footage is that I think the analysis of the situations after the fact is just as interesting if not more interesting than the actual footage of the situation. Maybe bringing in previous contestants to analyze the performances would be interesting to get some extra content
You may not have won but you shared some deep, deep wisdom for all the viewers AND the other fighters. "Heeheehee!!!" -Ranton, with the realest quote from the whole show.
You were so sweet and fun to watch, even though you lost you won our hearts. Every time I saw you blow a kiss to the camera in the midst of everyone's "badass" montage, it always made me smile.
I started watching your content around the time of your Skyrim review, and since then, I’ve seen pretty much all of them, multiple times. A few months ago, I also started to watch content of guys like SenseiSeth, Jesse Enkamp, and others, and I even saw some episodes of USDC Season 1. So when I found out that you were a contestant in Season 2, I was happy like a little boy and knew it's gonna be epic. And it was! You became my favorite in this series and seeing you switch into Rant-ON in the Knife-Scenario was amazing to watch. I loved every part of that show. Thank you for saying 'yes' to this opportunity, and thanks to the other contestants and especially the production team. So much hard work went into this project… Looking forward to Season 3!
Its so cool to see how you got to show your boxing and bjj and how you got to use your accuracy in striking and shifting weight in ur bjj in the bar + with jeff in the bus like what you said with the shaolin skills you transferred to other disciplines
GG Ranton 👍👍 The sum of the two numbers in the 16 you got is 7 😉 Destiny indeed...which you were great on his podcast...They are all lucky it wasn't a videogame competition. 🎮👊
I just appreciate that you gave it a go even knowing how it'd likely turn out. Hope it's productive for you going forward either in daily life or your other martial hobbies.
Do they teach stand-up comedy at your temple because honestly you were the spirit of this season. I swear you and Craig weren't there to win, but for a fun time and that's why I rooted for you both. Everyone was phenomenal but you brought something special to this season
You did the smartest thing you could - you pulled your punches so that they don't roll over you with theirs! Well done, firstly I didn't even think of it.
Your videos about the experience should be required viewing for the competition. Loved watching this whole thing, and I really hope Season 3 gets the funding it needs to grow from what the team learned here in season 2. The attackers definitely need a more specific set of parameters for when and how they respond to the competitors. The psychology of dealing with conflict is so much a part of surviving, defusing, or escalating a fight, but those skills are hard to demonstrate if the attackers behave like video game grunts who will fight to the death.
You took your training, applied in in a realistic situation and for the first time in life threw hands. Much respect. Went from martial artists to fighter inside where it matter so much
Hands down this series was so fun and informative to watch. I'm glad that you had the courage to participate and try your best. I hope I'll see you in S3 ;)
Even though you lost, I'm very proud of you for not backing down from facing highly trained fighters (and Craig lol). You're still our epic game reviewing Shaolin monk ❤❤❤
You might have come out last but it was inspiring to see you consistently improve during the challenges. And you were one of the best contenders in the shank tank, one of the hardest challenges during the entire competition. Good job and it was really entertaining to see how much fun you had.
After watching this full series (which I loved), it seemed like the Ultimate Self Defense Championship team was trying to go big for Season 2 and really push their boundaries. I'm sorry to hear that there were so many issues, but I wouldn't have known had I only seen the final product with no perspective. It was so fun to watch! I hope you all stay in touch! Also dang, last NOVEMBER!? I remember you mentioning this, but dang, a full year in production sounds rough!
You didn’t lose, you were the sixth best! 😁 I indeed was a bit disappointed that by the fighting situations you didn’t show some Shaolin stuff; would have been interesting to see, but you came through, and indeed, your performance made the show much more fun, and besides Nathan and Craig you surely won the sympathy prize! 👏
Honestly even when it was clear you weren't going to win the championship I was still rooting for you. It was great to see you put yourself out there and I felt like in a lot of ways you were almost more of the "regular guy" than Craig
I think you have spoken your case well. we are all glad that you decided to go! We would also love to see you go again, not only for the laughs, but to see you grow! It’s up to you, but for me it’s very thrilling to see you use your kung fu under pressure and inspires me in my own journey with kung fu! I appreciate you man! Thank you for creating the channel!
You did pretty well, sir. The challenges were crazy hard, and your fellow competitors were quite beastly. The season was brutal and you made it through... with your head up and your pride intact. These are the kinds of experiences that make any martial artist grow !!!
“the essence of kungfu training is improving skills and enhancing force (not merely learning elaborate techniques) - the process of which necessitates practising simple actions over and over again, many, many, many times.” - Wong Kiew Kit Or in Western terms: "It ain't about how hard you get hit; it's about how hard you can get yet, get back up, and keep moving forward." - Rocky You had the courage of a lion with the smile and good nature of a lamb the whole time, and for THAT I believe you showed off how Shaolin speaks through YOU. Thank you for expressing the "Art" behind the Martial.
You were hilarious, entertaining, and had one of the absolute highlight of highlight moments in the shank tank when you busted out those hands and surprised everyone. We ALL felt pruod of you there and you deserved the props you got from your fellow fighters. And, on Natan, I think what UFC and general pro MMA taught him, and Jeff Chan the year prior's champ, is that the fight itself is not the only thing to watch. Natan and Jeff both have a pile of experience (Jeff was a cop FFS) with real situations where someone was trying to harm, and I think that experience helps greatly when needing to keep your cool in a fight. I completely agree that Natan won because he was sharp, observant, and always kept his wits about him.
Love your 'Martial art adventures' type of content. This was one of the best ones so far, funny as hell and interesting as we never see behind the scenes of shows like this. Great Job man I laughed my butt off several times!
I think your performance was the most real of all the contestants, for most people in real life don't fight. In a well mannered society there is little need to fight, so no one expects to. That includes people with fighting skills, who are completely unarmored in everyday life. Regular exposure to violence might change someone's alertness state, but that isn't civilised society. There is no doubt of your skills. I think your involvement to the show was excellent and a great decision by the production team. The show was better for your involvement, thank you. I wouldn't want to get hit by you, as some of your hits were masterful and would have been game ending. Your art doesn't fight, but you can. Respect. Thank you for taking the bruises for our entertainment and education.
My goodness it was soooo fun seeing you there. Outside of your comfort zone too. I really hope you'll do more stuff like this😁 (this was a lot better than creator clash)
hab die komplette s02 gefeiert. durch die s01 hab ich auch nicht erwartet, dass du da mit specialmoves um die ecke kommst^^ jeder für sich hat für mich gut abgeliefert und es ist eine unglaublich geile show und ich würde mir wünschen, dass es weiter geht und würde mir wünschen, dass jesse und du irgendwann wieder dabei seid. aus meiner sicht gut geschlagen. weiter so :)
Thank you, Ranton, for holding back and not reducing that building to a smoking, radioactive crater. The world doesn't know what you do for it every day that you contain that power. EDIT: In all seriousness, I think you're tougher than you seem to believe and will only become more so with experience. I'd also love to see more footage of you and Jesse Enkamp doing forms together if any exists.
Yo brotha, been watching u for a while now…and you got me through rly tough times with ur Humor and overall character. I genuinely want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, since you also motivated me to do Martial arts. ❤️
You have a lovely bubbly personality that is just as contagious as your smile bro. You've got a good heart and showed the most growth over this season of USDC and I'm honestly impressed because I didn't think a Shaolin Monk could actually fight and you proved me WRONG! I think you learned your lessons. Kudos and best wishes!
I remember a short clip that was included of Ranton doing some kind of flip kick from a standing position and hitting one of the other participant's hands. ALL of their faces lit up and they were genuinely impressed by him doing something I don't believe the rest of them could do Ranton was the most impressive person there when it came to gymnastics. That punch was amazing as well

Honestly even when it was clear you weren't going to win the championship I was still rooting for you. It was great to see you put yourself out there and I felt like in a lot of ways you were almost more of the "regular guy" than Craig
You did amazingly well Ranton, be proud ! And out of all the participants, you were the most Ranton, my sides were on orbit.
I think you have spoken your case well. we are all glad that you decided to go! We would also love to see you go again, not only for the laughs, but to see you grow! It’s up to you, but for me it’s very thrilling to see you use your kung fu under pressure and inspires me in my own journey with kung fu!
I appreciate you man! Thank you for creating the channel!
You did pretty well, sir. The challenges were crazy hard, and your fellow competitors were quite beastly. The season was brutal and you made it through... with your head up and your pride intact.
These are the kinds of experiences that make any martial artist grow !!!
Your performance in the shanktank was definitely a highlight. I think that scenario is the most important one anyway
“the essence of kungfu training is improving skills and enhancing force (not merely learning elaborate techniques) - the process of which necessitates practising simple actions over and over again, many, many, many times.” - Wong Kiew Kit
Or in Western terms:
"It ain't about how hard you get hit; it's about how hard you can get yet, get back up, and keep moving forward." - Rocky
You had the courage of a lion with the smile and good nature of a lamb the whole time, and for THAT I believe you showed off how Shaolin speaks through YOU. Thank you for expressing the "Art" behind the Martial.
I honestly enjoyed the comic relief, Ranton. Kudos to you for giving it your all and making it enjoyable to watch.
You were hilarious, entertaining, and had one of the absolute highlight of highlight moments in the shank tank when you busted out those hands and surprised everyone. We ALL felt pruod of you there and you deserved the props you got from your fellow fighters.
And, on Natan, I think what UFC and general pro MMA taught him, and Jeff Chan the year prior's champ, is that the fight itself is not the only thing to watch. Natan and Jeff both have a pile of experience (Jeff was a cop FFS) with real situations where someone was trying to harm, and I think that experience helps greatly when needing to keep your cool in a fight. I completely agree that Natan won because he was sharp, observant, and always kept his wits about him.
Love your 'Martial art adventures' type of content. This was one of the best ones so far, funny as hell and interesting as we never see behind the scenes of shows like this. Great Job man I laughed my butt off several times!
I think your performance was the most real of all the contestants, for most people in real life don't fight. In a well mannered society there is little need to fight, so no one expects to. That includes people with fighting skills, who are completely unarmored in everyday life. Regular exposure to violence might change someone's alertness state, but that isn't civilised society.
There is no doubt of your skills. I think your involvement to the show was excellent and a great decision by the production team. The show was better for your involvement, thank you. I wouldn't want to get hit by you, as some of your hits were masterful and would have been game ending. Your art doesn't fight, but you can.
Respect. Thank you for taking the bruises for our entertainment and education.
My goodness it was soooo fun seeing you there. Outside of your comfort zone too. I really hope you'll do more stuff like this😁 (this was a lot better than creator clash)
I just finished watching the whole series, that was awesome! About to finally get around to watching this one now :)
The only reason I watched this show because you and Jesse Enkamp were in it
Ranton you did great, you will forever be our hero no matter what
What an amazing experience this must’ve been! Well done sir, so proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone
Bring our boy back in S3, it was amazing watching you go out there ranton.❤
Du warst großartig. Ich feiere dich. Rokas hat wieder was feines auf die Beine gebracht.
Ich gucke ja all eure Kanäle, jedes Video 😂
bottom self-defence, but top content.
we love you even more now bro. great sportsmanship
I loved seeing you out there! You all made it so much fun to watch!
hab die komplette s02 gefeiert. durch die s01 hab ich auch nicht erwartet, dass du da mit specialmoves um die ecke kommst^^ jeder für sich hat für mich gut abgeliefert und es ist eine unglaublich geile show und ich würde mir wünschen, dass es weiter geht und würde mir wünschen, dass jesse und du irgendwann wieder dabei seid. aus meiner sicht gut geschlagen. weiter so :)
Haftbefehl in the beginning
You know its going to be a banger video
Do you know the exact song?
@@Rikorias haftbefehl - dann mit der pumpgun 2.0
You lost the competition but won in our hearts 🥲
Thank you, Ranton, for holding back and not reducing that building to a smoking, radioactive crater. The world doesn't know what you do for it every day that you contain that power. EDIT: In all seriousness, I think you're tougher than you seem to believe and will only become more so with experience. I'd also love to see more footage of you and Jesse Enkamp doing forms together if any exists.
great video!!!!
Amazing. I binged the whole series today just to watch this.
10:24 you forgot to mention the funny pitty kick with the duffle bag before you started swinging lol
Yo brotha, been watching u for a while now…and you got me through rly tough times with ur Humor and overall character. I genuinely want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, since you also motivated me to do Martial arts. ❤️
You have a lovely bubbly personality that is just as contagious as your smile bro. You've got a good heart and showed the most growth over this season of USDC and I'm honestly impressed because I didn't think a Shaolin Monk could actually fight and you proved me WRONG! I think you learned your lessons. Kudos and best wishes!
my goat ranton can never lose in my eyes, you won in ways they can’t even comprehend
Congratulations! Proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone, and having fun doing it. Hope to see more!
I was rooting for you and Natan the whole time. That knife attack scenario was an absolute BADA§§ performance Ranton!
Toe to toe with Jeff n Natan, props 👏
I remember a short clip that was included of Ranton doing some kind of flip kick from a standing position and hitting one of the other participant's hands. ALL of their faces lit up and they were genuinely impressed by him doing something I don't believe the rest of them could do
Ranton was the most impressive person there when it came to gymnastics. That punch was amazing as well
This video has made me realised that ranton was also optimising for content. And he nailed it
Ranton you may have lost the championship but you won our hearts it was a blast just seeing you troll made my week each time they released new episode
15:35 hit perfectly, the comedic timing the delivery everything idk why but i laughed like 3 minutes straight just because of these 5 seconds
bro didint get the Emmy , but sure did win by being the audience's favourite
