Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey TH-cam channel!
My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what I thought it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my TH-cam channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

Having all the martial arts youtubers going to Jeff's school together would be awesome!
Yup. I think something like this could be greatly beneficial for the martial arts communities as a whole, not for that they're gonna solve self defence, but to show that working together from different backgrounds (a bit like mma..?) is the key to start improving this aspect of martial arts, which seems to be a very underdeveloped aspect of them.
+1 🤘🏽
Heeellll yeah
Do it!
That would be quality content!
Almost all cross over episodes are usualy great.
I'd love to see you guys go for that self-defence gauntlet. Hell, if Wonderboy doesn't have a fight booked it would be amazing to see how a top-tier MMA fighter does in those sorts of pressure-tested scenarios.
If he is available and up for it, I would love to see Wonderboy in that scenario 👏🏻
@@sunte91 same
fk everyone up easily ofcourse. Well, maybe not someone like wonderboy or woodley or ben henderson, passive guys, more athlete than fighter. Not all fighters have that same instinct. But any Lawler, Brown, Arlovski, Aldo or whoever, fighter's fighters, would fk everyone up quick
I would DEFINITELY like to see such an event organised and tested with the other greats on TH-cam involved in the experiment! That would be awesome!
i think the same as well, more encounters means more experience in that type of scenario, hopefully one day the event will come to fruition!
It actualy happens
That sounds like a great idea, specially with Icy Mike making jokes later on.
Haha, yeah Icy Mike should make some good jokes for sure! I'm thinking of inviting Sensei Seth as well, he should be able to crack everyone up too 😁
This is pretty impressive!
It would be amazing to have all you guys participate in an self defense event like that! If I were in a better spot finnancialy, I would even tip in in an crowdfunding type of thing. Maybe that's an idea to make things easier for you! I bet ppl would contribute to watch something like that!
2:43 I'm a Judoka, but also a medical worker. I've often offered to teach my fellow medical pros some moves against dangerous patients, but they've always declined. I've seen a number of violent patients attack hospital staff and have had to act to protect them; but my experience is they never think it will happen to them and always decline self-defense training.
That would be the expected response. People are lazy and optimistic. I'm an office worker. Many companies require their employees to take ergonomic training because bad office posture causes back and neck problems that eventually cost money to the companies.
It is for their own benefit, but lots of people wouldn't invest the time if not required by the company.
Some other companies reduce your medical insurance if you take some voluntary measures to protect your health. If your company had this program, I would say that a qualified self defense program based on restraint and holds (and not hitting) would be ideal for medical workers.
Judo is of course, the prime candidate. But you don't always want to throw the patients to the floor. As ineffective as Aikido can be in a full fight scenario, when you only need to show your dominance over a misbehaving person (holding a person by the wrist, moving a patient into a room) it works quite well. Timing the hand movements of untrained people to learn to hold the wrists is what police do best. It is not impossible.
Medical workers are in "The Mirror Universe." Fighting is antithetical to their being. They are there to take people out of the hospital, not put people into the hospital.
@@famfloro It's not just that from what I've seen. Many people, perhaps most people, don't want to do any sort of self defense training (either in fighting or just avoidance) because training self defense means acknowledging psychologically that they could be attacked, and this scares them, so they live in denial instead.
Two obvious issues are that martial artists generally make terrible self defence instructors, and that any sort of "training" causes courts to make ridiculous assumptions about what you should have been able to do to control the bad guy.
If you're in a public facing roll, it's better to stay quiet about any skills you have and focus on as much realism as possible.
I was involved with a RN and experienced the same thing.
Thanks so much Rokas, it would be great to have you guys here. I have plenty of challenges that could test your skills!
100%!! I'll do my best to make it a reality!
Hey Jeff, do you guys train machete fighting in your gym?
Dude, thank YOU. That's the most awesome and practical self defense school I've ever seen! While the internet is busy circle jerking around "fake techniques", you seem to be all about drills in situation, and using the good old technique book "whatever works". So yeah, thank you for doing work to actually save lives!
The answer is yes. Absolutely. I'd love to see all of you get together for that gauntlet!
I would be interested to see the “self-defense” competition because I’m curious how it would be scored and how each person would react under pressure
Terrible idea because i think that's antithesis of what they are doing here.
Anything you turn in to a sport can be gamed. Once you start doing that you start departing from real conflict situations.
@@humann5682 Unless you score it by would survive/wouldn't survive
That makes no sense
This is exactly opposite of self defense so pls stop :D
I really like the idea of getting everyone to compete in scenario training.... Much better than sparring. Which, for some weird reason, everyone seems to think that's how self-defense works
You’re right but sparring is a good start.
Self defense is not a competition, which makes this a bit weird, but it'd be certainly interesting to see these people meetin each other and show their approaches to the subject.
Everything can be made into a competition. Of course, we are operating in a safe environment in this case, but lets see what happens. Who got the least bruises? Who escaped the fastest? Who survived? But I know what you mean. Anyways, would be awesome to see them :D
It's most definitely a competition: survival of the fittest
@@gbp87 So they would fight until death? I'm sure they all want to take part of that....
If somebody is attacking somebody else, the defender gets away with his resources or doesn't. It could be money or a life, they are competing for whatever the attacker is trying to take
@@gbp87 Under what rules?
I went to an open door training day at a hapkido school once not expecting much, and tbh most of it was just the kind of dry cooperative drills I'd been used to from aikido, but they had rows of bus seats set up in the corner of the room, so I asked what that was about and the instructor told me that was how they trained for being attacked on public transport. I hadn't had much MA experience at the time so the idea of training like that, from a seated position in a confined space really blew my mind.
@@Drang_Gei A friend of mine that did krav maga went with his club to the tram yard to practice that. I'm sure there's schools doing it on trains as well. My city is a tram-city so practising on trams make more sense here.
@@Drang_Gei pretty much the same thing, still a confined space with seats.
Can confirm traditional martial arts works in that scenario, have faced it and ITF Taekwondo worked great.
LET THE SELF DEFENSE ROYAL RUMBLE BEGINS!!!!
Hell yeah! It would be amazing to see every teacher use its specialties in these scenarios. Please make it happen!
Combat sports athletes in my opnion do perform well in street fights if they choose to fight seriously. Its what got me into martial arts to start with. I fought with a kickboxer in highschool. Dude just took me out quick. A lesson i never forgot and that took me on my journey continuing all the way with my son today. Its always fun to see a bullyish guy get hit with a lefthook and see him lose his legs 🤣🤣🤣
I’d love to see that happen. All of you guys seem to have enough differences in how you approach self-defense and martial arts it would be interesting to see you guys in a tested environment.

Dude, definitely get them all together and make your idea happen, it's an excellent way to demonstrate effective technique for all of you
Most definitely would like to see more realistic self defense taught and being shown like this video shows!
Intersted for sure
I would so love it if you could Ramsey, Mike and Jessie together for a visit to that school, please do It , I cant wait to see it! Thanks for the videos and have an awesome day!
I've seen this guys youtube vids and been really impressed by what he is doing. He's following in the footsteps of people like Geoff Thompson etc. and continuing to expand on things, it really looks like top notch training for self defense, probably the best I've seen in terms of creating context, realistic drilling, etc.
Fun school! There are a lot more schools out there that work similarly than a lot of people realize. They just tend to be fairly small because not that many people want to train that way.
Being able to use the environment effectively is a huge advantage.
Great video!
list some skills
Could you please list such similar schools that work similarly? I'd be very grateful (I'm sure many other people too!). Because they are fairly small as you've said, it is not easy to find informations about such places as some common MMA or Krav Maga schools.
I will only list schools with permission from the channel owner. But thanks for interest.
I used to train historical fencing with a group of guys who were also doing fencing shows in theaters. And apparently a thing that used to happen was that in a big fight scene, some dudes "died" and they were lying on the floor, so were their swords. So it was kinda important to learn how to move around, do your thing and not step on them or their swords. To train that, our master threw bunch of swords on the ground, showed us where they are and then had us walk through them blindfolded. This seems dumb and irrelevant to self-defense in any way. Except, I then sparred with a friend outdoor, for shit and giggles (I did some other martial arts as well) and I realised I remember where all the things are :D. He started aggresively pushing me and I was like: "yep, I do know there is a sign post 90 cm behind me brother" and dodged his last attack diagonally so he ran into the post instead of me. These are little things that they won't teach you in your martial arts school, but give you small edge in the real world.
Yesss! Please do that!! I love watching the TH-cam martial art community collaborating!
I would love to see you do any kind of self defence type challenges generally. Though I would also like to see you come to Sydney so I can see this kind of thing live.
That sort of self defense competition would be absolutely amazing!!
Be sure to get the unholy trinity of IcyMike, Sensei Seth, and Wonderboy Thompson!
Thats incredibly dumb idea because competition fighting is exactly opposite of self defense... If you dont take it from me, ask Ramsey Dewey :D
@@krystofcisar469 competition not competition fighting. Ultimate Self Defense Championship is what’s going on right now on this channel. Keep up.
OH WOW🤯🤯🤯 The ultimate self defense showdown between the biggest names in the martial arts community on TH-cam would be the most EPIC EVENT EVER!!! I absolutely love to see it happen
Having the TH-camrs compete at Jeff's school would be legendary!🤩
That's a Phenomenal idea having all those guys go to that school I would watch that in a heartbeat and I'm sure thousands of other fans of martial arts would as well. I've trained for 10 years myself fought competitively And have worked security privately privately and in clubs of situations patience for most of my life fif I could afford to go there I would
I'd LOVE to see the challenge you mentioned at the end! I follow all of those guys. It would be great to see what they do. This type of training is fantastic in my opinion. I'm very impressed with this school and what this guy is doing. great stuff!
the collab event sounds awesome!
Really interesting concept to explore. Glad to see this guy train emergency service workers, in their environments.
I am curious to know what sort of techniques he teaches, or whether it's just to practise reacting to attackers in different scenarios?
Definitely interested in your series proposal!
Absolutely love that idea. You could also include nick drosos,, mcdojo Rob, and Steven strangle Williams to that list. Bit that would be amazing and most of those people would love to do it.
I think it would be the most epic crossover in TH-cam history
Watching all the martial arts youtubers put up against each other would be epic. You gotta have Sensei Seth!
Great video, as always! I’ve followed Jeff for a while, he’s truly an awesome guy and I hope I get to train with him one day. Also, the training environments that Jeff built in the Western Combatives gym reminds me of what Ryan Hoover from Fit to Fight did in his HQ location, and I think if you’d dive in to it you’d see a lot of similarities to what Jeff is doing (and maybe we’ll get a Ryan Hoover/Jeff Phillips collab? Jk 😂). Another great person who deals with environmental issues, specifically fighting in cars, is Craig Douglas from Shivworks (which Paul Sharp is a part of, btw). Craig has a specific class called VCAST (Vehicular Combatives and Shooting Tactics), a three-day class in which you understand how traditional grappling, striking and weapons access change drastically when you’re inside of or next to a car. Would recommend to dive deep into both of them, too! And thank you for showing everyone how great Jeff’s training is. Thank you again for another great vid, man! Much respect
Awesome! I'll look into the suggestions, they seem great
@@MartialArtsJourney how to be a beast
Great episode! Although I understand Jeff on his sceptisism about the way 'mainstream' krav maga is being tought, and your sceptisism (I agree with it), I have to point out that Jeff's way of scenario training has been done by some Krav Maga organisations for decades already. And I bet that Jeff's inspiration for this scenario-training (bus, bar etc -environments) comes from his background as a krav maga instructor. Nonetheless great and realistic training, well done💪
Your proposed collab would be one of the best things to happen to martial arts & self-defense culture in a long time...
Learning to stay “calm” in a stressful situation is what the majority of martial arts training is missing.
Your videos have come a long way. Really enjoyed this video and the concept of Jeff's school. I would love to see a series with all of you guys duking it out at Jeff's facility. I run a ninpo/jujutsu/combatives school focusing on real self defense that works as well, unlike the purely kata-based styles of some of the bigger ninja organizations, so stuff like this is very appealing.
Awsome Idea! Please do it! :D
Getting everyone together would be epic! Most ambitious crossover in history
And 10 Month later you created the best show i've seen in a while.
Truly exceptional . We need more of these in modern martial art industry
Hell yeah I'd love to see all you guys trying out that class together!
And don't stop at just Jeff's class, make it an ongoing series like Fight Quest, where you go to any school that seems cool and different
this....this is real self-defence. this should be everywhere
So glad you and Jeff were able to put together the the competition. I hope to see more!
Interesting
I would have loved to train like this when I was a security officer.
please make it happen
Excellent idea! As someone who has had encounters on a bus and more, I believe it's very important for anyone who thinks they have trained in self-defense, to test in the real world environment. I also dealt with different scenarios during my 8 years in the Marines and 5 years with the LAPD. As a lifelong martial artist and Marine hand-to-hand combat instructor, it would be interesting to see among those TH-camrs who would fare the best. DO IT!!
HELL YEA All of the martial arts TH-camrs doing a self defense course sounds amazing
Please make it into a series!
Thanks a lot for your videos !
I've recently stumbled across your channel and it's been super interesting to see your approach to those sports and in particular the focus on the martial art vs self-defence comparison. Your videos are also very well structured and you explain things clearly and concisely, by also trying to stay as objective as possible which is truly enjoyable.
I think your idea of trying out this self-defense drill with the other youtubers could bring precious insight to this ! Maybe adding people with lesser or no background in martial arts could also be nice to have during this experience in order to see whether people with no previous experience of situations under pressure would perform compared to those who may have experienced it during their martial art sparring.
Please, bring them on!
That will be amazing!
I worked as a barman in my student days for a few years and thanks for sharing this.
I've seen dozens of fights and none of them look like martial arts or even combat sports. Possibly boxing maybe but that's it.
All the Dim Mak and "90% of fights will go to ground ma friend so you better be a shark on the land and not a weasel in the water" BS marketing quickly evaporates in real world conflicts.
100%
yes please, do the ultimate self defense challange
Funny enough we are doing all these things in my KMG school. The mass bus fight is so much fun. Who had chance to try it knows. In my case the most fun had the driver who was speeding and stopping and driving like crazy when he had no restrictions :D
do it! All my favorite guys in one video! all of you inspired me so much to venture out into finding more effective martial arts. a series of videos of all of you pushing it to the limit would give me even more drive.
Dude, that event idea is incredible!! I absolutely love that. What a cool way to evaluate skills
I wholeheartedly support any attempt to gather the various martial arts TH-camrs together and film a series at the self-defense school so that we know who the SECOND best self defense expert is.
We all know that the best one hands down will be Master Ken with his Ameridote.
I heard of other schools doing similar things. Unfortunately they never remain popular or in business. However sounds like a good school to train at.
I love what Jeff has put together and having a bunch of self-defense youtubers go there would be incredible!
Hell yeah!! Getting all of you in a training course and posting it!! Definitely a good time and one I would watch.
This is mind altering content that makes you wake up- unless you've been in a street situation such as those, you'll know how un reliable or even counter productive most traditional martials arts are - if you could organize a self defense world competition with full gear on and real life settings like this guy does, it would be completely new and ground breaking and surely as entertaining as MMA, I'm sure plenty of people would help you figuring out a realistic scoring system, full support !
8:00 hell yeah that'd be amazing to watch! XD
Definitely yes. We would definitely want to have this
YES! I want to see a youtube series like that! And I'm in awe that this school is in my home country! Hell yeah!
This is actually better than what I expected, the environment isnt always safe.
I think that having you guys all pressure tested is a great idea!! I have wanted to implement something like that in my own training for years. I hope you all are able to make this happen. Best wishes and keep up the great work.
Definitely wanna see the video your talking about at the end! Keep making great martial arts content!!! Very appreciated!!
What an awesome school!
Ah! Great idea!
I like the new path this channel has taken.
Rokas if you put together that challenge you will be undisputed king of martial arts youtube
That idea sounds like a dream come true, so many perspectives, so many different knee jerk reactions after a lifetime of training, so many good laughs too (hey those also matter)
Really hope it comes to pass. I have nothing but respect to all the great people you mentioned, just remember, if master Ken comes in the door all bets are off
Absolutely ,I’d love to see it!
Big yes for the planned "all in" event. :-) Appreciate your efforts on this!
Yes! get all the youtubers together please, whether it's one episode or a whole series, that would be awesome to see!!
I would love to see a series about that!
DO IIIIITTTT !!! it's going to be the ultimate collab and awesome to watch
Uniting the martial arts TH-camrs would be the most ambitious cross over event in history! You should do it!
Definitely! That sounds amazing and insightful!
Self Defence Gauntlet with youtubers would be a MUST WATCH! I would donate to make this happen
Great idea getting everyone to Jeff's school, wpuld love to see that 😃👊
Man!!!!!! Ramsey Dewey, Jesse Enkamp and Icy Mike doing self defense training sounds amazing!!!!!!
definitely interested! look forward to seeing that eventual video!
Yes to having the TH-camrs in the school. I don't care who is the best, but the amount of learning that they'll provide after going through the different challenges will be extremely useful.
This has been my favorite video so far and I'm a critical Martial Arts. Thanks you for this. Keep on your journey ✌️
Rokas, words cannot describe how much I want to see you take a bunch of famous martial arts youtubers and bring them to down to Australia for Jeffs self defense challenge. I say make it happen!
Getting all the martial art youtubers together for an event like that sounds like a blast! I'd definitely love to see that.
That's a brilliant idea. Please make it so!
Wow. This is next level stuff. Good on Jeff! 🔥
Best idea... Im stoked to see it
I always love seeing martial arts youtube crossovers and this would be a really amazing one
The idea of getting those youtubers out to try this is great. They are all people who have very good ideas about martial arts and self defence.
I would LOVE to see this martial arts TH-camr showdown come to fruition. What a cool and fun idea
Yes yes yes! :D Very interested to see those great guys go to Jeff's school!
Good idea! Take everyone to Jeff's school.
A big donnybrook of all the Martial Arts TH-camrs is the Greatest Idea Ever!!!
Definitely interested in seeing your series!
Yes. That is an excellent idea for a video series. 100% would watch & Share
Ive noticed when people say they want to learn "self-defense" they really mean they want to learn how to fight
Hell yes! Get all of you guys together and film it! I would love to see it.
Heck yes!!! Please do the video series
