I was fighting into college through martial arts and I know I cannot fight like that anymore at all. If I had to fight I would be hoping that I am still durable and that they simply have zero idea what there doing which I think is fifty fifty but still I would definitely sustain some sort of injury just exerting myself at that level of violence. I don’t think people realize that their tendons and joints aren’t nearly as supple past 28 and any violent activity even if you take no damage your going to get hurt just throwing strikes or wrestling. I just think people do not experience that level of violence. Nobody understands the full on overwhelming psychedelic tunnel that is trying to absolutely destroy another human being or worse that intent being imposed upon you and trying to think about what to do or what’s legal. It’s like being in a car crash for two minutes, anyone who thinks that there good at fighting who hasn’t been through that is almost certainly going to end up slipping and falling or simply freezing up and freaking out.
To be fair you did ask if they "CAN" fight, and obviously every human on the planet "CAN" fight if necessary. You never asked if they can do it well lol.
It's better to think you can fight than not, in a self defense situation. Seems like a natural evolutionary thing to develop in us. That's why people think they can fight, in my humble opinion.
@@tommyglonczi Yes, when you get into a fight in the streets you shouldnt be angry at all......Like bro what do you think leads to people fighting in the streets? They get fucking angry at each other and fight. Jesus Christ......
@@tommyglonczinot completely true. I've trained in multiple forms of martial arts for nearly 40 years. I have many years of muscle memory built in. The problem with anger when you have training is that your body can take over if you can't control your mind. I've done things in anger that I don't remember and have been behind bars because of it. Even though I've learned to control myself better through the years, the only person I fear is myself. But I'm not most people in my ability to fight and honestly there are many times I wish I didn't know how. I actually had a dream last night that I lost control of my anger and was destructive. There was a point that I consciously knew what I was doing was wrong but was unable to stop my anger. Probably my biggest fear.
I tested for 2nd degree black belt, but I didn't pass. I didn't pass because I used techniques that I learned from another school. I was outsized, and outmatched, but I adapted, and what I did use was effective. The judges said they wanted to see more of the set techniques from their school, so I have to take the test all over again in a few months. I don't feel like I failed, but I do feel frustrated because I successfully defended myself in an as close to a real life situation as it can get. The instructor testing me was twice my size, has been training longer than me, has a history of no control, and came at me with full force. I still came out on top, but I didn't use techniques from their school. I guess in the end I didn't display the material they wanted to see. I don't really know what to make of it because I did what I was instructed to do in a pinch, which was to do at least something, and never stop, or hesitate. After the results I received a lot of positive feedback from the crowd, and was assured that in that situation I was fully capable of defending myself.
Nowhere is the Dunning-Kruger effect more clear than when it comes to fighting and violence in general. The better you become at it, the more aware you become of how vulnerable you are.
yes, but... i would agree that i'd rather just avoid any fight against anybody, even though i'm trained AND big... i know what can go wrong, even against an untrained smaller guy, so i'll avoid it whenever possible. However, given my training and size advantage, I do feel confident that I could defend myself better than the average person.
I've trained kickboxing every week, for the past 2 years, and I think I've only just now started to say, yeah, I might be able to hold my own, maybe, but even then, chasing a fight is so stupid 😭
@@MrMaxBoivinit actually is better than being calm and not knowing how to fight, the more angered guy has usually more andrenaline and if you both don’t know how to fight he would usually dominate you since he would be willing to take every hit of yours to fk u up
@@znail4675yeah it makes you fight worse, then gas out. But hey you can take a couple more non-knockout shots. It pretty much makes you better at getting beat up
17:11 This is the exact type of guy he was expecting to meet all the time: every answer measured to sound tough; _constantly_ checking the reaction of the girl next to him to see if she is impressed; skimpy basis for his overconfidence
i think you think youre a psychologist and dont really know what youre saying either. to me it looks like the guy was just trying to get his girlfriend involved in the conversation by facing her from time to time.
There are so many dudes like that in Southern France. Granted, they're usually wealthy AF, which is why a street fight is the last thing they've ever thought of, but.. not uncommon in France and Monaco.
I think training makes people more cautious because they see just how skilled some people are. They realize there’s always someone bigger and badder and they know what it’s like to be humbled. Regular people that have never fought or have only fought school yard bouts, don’t have any kind of grasp on what it’s like to face an advanced practitioner in Muay Thai, Bjj, boxing, wrestling, etc… Chances are if you’ve trained more than a year in anything, you will beat 95%+ of people around your size that have never trained. At the end of the day though, it’s just not worth it. Anyone can get caught with a haymaker and hit their head on the pavement when they fall. It is not worth being brain dead or going to jail for causing someone else to be.
@@yarinelmaliach1444 He means when someone gives that answer it's obvious they don't know how to fight. Doesn't take a genius to get what he meant tbh....
@@HolofoilKev no I mean it’s obvious they are giving that answer in ignorance. If I went up to a meathead on the street they’d most likely say something similar.
If someone I don't know asks me if I know how to fight, I say no. If someone is interviewing me for a TH-cam video and asks that question, I have even more reason to say no.
exactly, I dont think that many people are delusional (there are certainly some) but not being able to fight is just something you wouldnt admit on camera. Like having a small dick, not getting women and stuff like that
I think the confidence comes from not having their confidence tested. Everyone remembers their first day in BJJ or Muy Thai you walk in feeling like “I can hang with these guys” and you leave thinking “I’m a helpless little child” really opens your eyes
Yeah, that was exactly my thought process when the question was asked. Martial arts people are like in the top 1% and think about things in that mindset. If any human was randomly selected and you're a man 20-50 in reasonably decent shape, you have great odds of winning.
I have a friend who’s 20kg lighter than me , does not train at all , a bit overweight.I’m a personal trainer and who does boxing and I’m a BJJ Purple belt. My friend still thinks he can beat me in a fight.
The problem is that people who have never been humbled view themselves as like the main character in a movie, where if they were to ever be attacked, they would just know what to do. Add to that, that there is still a lot of people who buy into the old "Oh I'll just poke them in the eye and win instantly" or "I'll just break their finger and win instantly", or the best one of all "I'll just kick him in the nuts and win instantly" People don't realize that those things, while painful, are not going to prevent someone from continuing to attack you.
@@fireandiron4181... or how hard it is to land those techniques. Like the last(?) dude who said he would kick the knees. How would he hit the knees if he never trained a kick in his life. "I would just ..." is always a tell they dont know what they are talking about.
Love how, when you got a bunch of reasonable, thought out answers that were counter to the narrative and content you were making; you included them. Made this quite interesting and feel pretty credible.
My son watched this one with me. We both have been doing Karate for about 10 years now. Our class does sparring from light contact to full on fighting with gear. II asked my son does he think he can fight and I loved the humble answer he gave me. "I don't know. Honestly, I don't think about it. I mean sparring isn't a real fight but I think it helps me be more prepared.I just try to remember all the things you say about avoiding having to fight."
Is it dumb question really If you're expecting a fight in the streets then yeah you need some experience in martial arts But real violence is nothing like a arranged fighting, Example you could get out of a car and someone could hit you on the head and steal your wallet What sparring can you do in martial arts what make you ready to deal with something like that
@@knightvegthats not what martial arts is about. There is no technique against a sneak attack, and there are little to no ways of defending yourself unarmed against a armed opponent, especially if he sneak attacks you. So yeah, if you want to learn martial arts to become John Wick, thats not gonna happen. But if you’re trained in Martial Arts, and you have learned to fight full contact, you have many advantages. I know how it feels to be punched in the face many times. I also have great cardio, which is a big part of Martial Arts. This is going to be your biggest advantage, most people gas out after throwing a couple of punches at full power. A good martial artist has great advantages in a physical confrontation. Nobody has a advantage in the situation you described.
@@knightveg That is real world scenario. Cats always play sneak attack on their siblings. Eagles mostly sneak from above. I think that is the number one thing to train in martial arts. You eliminate more than half of your potential opponents if you see them coming. Like when you notice someone is bad eyeing you. You have time to assess, prepare, then act accordingly. 😂
Don't want to be the one to rain on your fantasy parade, but Karate is pretty useless in real combat or even high-level MMA. I know this because I did Taekwondo for 8 years, black belt 2nd dan, and then I went into MMA (Boxing, BJJ, combat Sambo) and realized how little it actually helped and how quickly you can kick someone who only did Karate/Taekwondo. This was also the consensus by others in my gym who came from a Karate background. No wrestling/takedown defence, distance management becomes useless when you're in a non-Karate bout, horrible hand striking/boxing, etc. Karate/Taekwondo are borderline sports not real combat, good for teaching kids discipline and making them feel confident, but after a certain level it just because a fitness/sport and you/your son would get your asses handed to you by an amateur boxer or mma practisioner with twice as less years of your experience--let alone someone who also put 10 years in.
That squirrel was ready to answer your question until you said “people”. You straight up excluded its whole species disrespectful af bruh no wonder it walked off
I train so I don’t delude myself about fighting on “da gritty streetz”. I hope to never get into a non-consensual fight. Training should open your eyes to how dangerous the world could be.
Yessir. Nothing humbles you faster than the realization that intention means very little when you don't have the training and experience to see your intentions through with effective action. Learned that real quick in the sparring ring and on the mats. I never thought I'd go into a martial arts gym or dojo and school someone who had been training for awhile, but the speed and ease with which they made me look like the beginner I was really was staggering.
I've trained on and off for about 20 years now. Hold a second degree black belt in TKD before branching out and training in wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, and jiu jitsu. It there's one thing I've learned in that time, it's that I'm probably better trained than about 60-80% of people and I want NO part of a fight. First off, the consequences are MASSIVE, and the reward is minimal if it exists at all. Training is one thing, actual violence is different. Second, you never know when that ONE person is a jiu jitsu black belt or a golden gloves boxer and just wrecks you. In a gym / training environment, this is really great: iron sharpens iron. But in a streetfight, once you're out, you're totally helpless. No thank you.
I probably find myself in the most peaceful state post roll or a good sparring session. I’m normally a very chill and respectful individual but after a good sesh im going xtra chill.
“how would you prepare if you HAD to fight a bully the next day?” I love the woman who said she’d try to get a good night’s sleep. It’s a funny yet interesting answer. And not a bad one.
I've served as an infantry officer in my country's army and I have had quite a bit of training in hand to hand and knife fighting as well as close quarters firearms fighting. That is where I learned that I don't really know much about those topics and that the intricacies of such abilities go far beyond what a human being can learn in one lifetime. I can confidently say that I really don't know much about fighting at all.
Out of curiosity, how much does infantry train hand to hand and knife-fighting where you're from? It honestly seems like a waste of time to allocate much time on it in the modern world where even firearms seem to be getting more and more obsolete in today's drone and missile warfare. Of course it makes sense to have some idea because it's always possible you have to defend yourself, but that stuff is so complicated that just doing some training here and there is unlikely to actually drill it into you.
@@penttikoivuniemi2146 Sure thing, glad you asked! My country gives officers university education, in which pure military skills are neglected a little. There are several additional courses that people can enroll in in order to hone other abilities like fitness, sports, shooting competitions and even driving lessons for special vehicles and more weapons training. I took courses in hand to hand fighting and physical fitness (as the main focus of that part of officer education is to study and I didn't want to lose my physical fitness and mental sharpness as well as reaction time when it comes to fighting). Close quarter gunfight simulation always was part of my schedule because of my superior at that time, being infantry himself as well, organized such events for "his" guys (meaning other infantry or tank guys or in short "mudlovers" as he lovingly called us). The amount of training varies quite a bit case by case, as you see, so my country and even more so my fellow comrades / brothers in arms offered options to hone physical skills whilst being mostly engaged in mental activities at the army university. Hand to hand and knife fighting was taught by an ex special forces guy, cqb simulation was trained by people who had practical experience from deployments in Afghanistan and two times I had the pleasure to do simulated combat with guys from the US and France. (I'm from Germany). So after all I'd say hand to hand and knife fighting is about as low a priority as it gets, when it comes to standard military training here, but if you're interested, you're offered options to take additional courses. I had those courses and sparrings for 3 years, most times it was practical training/sparring twice a week and physical fitness and endurance training 3 times a week. Of course that is way, way less than a professional would train, it doesn't even come close, yet it's also a lot more than the average, even more than the average soldier, and the more I learned, the more I realized I knew absolutely nothing. I hope I could give answers to some of your questions, feel free to ask away if questions remain or if anything of interest was stated unclearly. I appreciate your interest in the subject! Training methods should always be scruitinized in order to provide the best possible training, that you do that shows a lot of practical intelligence concerning the subject!
@@MikeBrown-ov2ol Thanks for the answer! Practical training/sparring twice a week is a bit more than I would have expected, but it's still in the ball-park of what I figured, especially since you said it includes optional courses. I know somebody who used to be an infantry (or maybe artillery? Can't recall) officer here in Finland, and he basically said he took a few crash courses in basic training and then never really did any hand to hand after that because it was optional and he wasn't super interested in it at that time.
@@penttikoivuniemi2146 In a military sense it doesn't really do too much good to learn that kind of stuff, as most likely you won't be needing it anyways. And honestly, Finland has shown in quite impressive fashion that by the sisu of your people, you can defeat any foe that is foolish enough to test you :) Huge respect!
Your attitude is great. The soldier in this video made me roll my eyes: “yeah, I grappled a bit on a mat and did some light strikes in sparring - I’m totally ready now for a real fight!”
@@Smorgasvordthis is partly true. But remember that algorithms drive the most engaging content, which sadly promotes enraging content, since this gets people riled up to keep watching and comment and share the absurdity. This filters the whole world down to the most unhinged
I'd guess roughly half of all online activity is from bots/ foreign agents just trying to stir shit up. Russian troll farms are very real. There's gotta be other countries doing it.
@@treakfly That has nothing to do with it. I've been on those video chat apps and I've been out in public. People are far bigger jerk offs when they're not physically in front of you, especially the young ones.
To be fair, most the people who are reasonable online are reasonable in real life. The people that are assholes online you don't really run into them much in the real world because they're busy in mummy and daddy's basement typing some outrageous shit. 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly, this is just my opinion, so please don't take it too seriously. I'm 28, nearly 29, I've been in about 4 fights in my life, 2 of them ended with both of us walking our separate ways, the 3rd one i knocked the guy out, the forth one i can't say because TH-cam won't let me type the word, but it was bad. You can have all the training in the world, but all it takes is one mistake, and the tables turn. Same with soldiers, they train but when it comes down to the real deal, it's different in a way. If someone is mad enough and confident enough, can take more punishment than you, is stronger than you, all of these things ARE a factor 100%
Bro at 1:50 was a real one. Honest answers without thought for his ego. It takes courage to admit you have shortcomings, and gives you a real foundation to build upon, should you choose.
Im a Judoka, 2nd dan, 15 years of training now and used to compete at a very high level. I hate real fights, ive been in a few situations in my life where ive needed to defend myself and it always felt awful. But yes the Judo did come in clutch every time.
That is the humanity of the whole thing. An attacker would think nothing of your head smacking the sidewalk, but you and I would feel awful at the damage we caused if we did the same thing. The attacker would likely be cheering with his friends, but we would likely be shaking and angry that we were ever put into that position to have to cause that damage. Thirdly, we'd likely receive more jail time then the attacker, because, "training".
I’m so grateful for my 3 years of wrestling and 1 year of Jiu-Jitsu experience. It’s humbling to think about how skilled lifelong martial artists are - it really puts things into perspective and reminds me never to underestimate anyone. I’d love to explore boxing and Muay Thai in the future when the time and funds allow!
Yup! You truly don’t know how helpless you are till that first day you step on the mats. After that it takes true discipline and humility to grow in your training.
But the thing is, when you compete in those environments you’re playing by their rules -in their arena. Real fights are different! In other words, it’s NOT “anything goes”
From working in biker bars in the 1990s as a bartender, I can say most people who think they can fight, can’t. The ones who could actually fight had a few go to moves that would just dust the other person, assuming relative size. Most moves I saw were 1-2 punch, over hand right, and of course haymaker. I saw some judo throws for sure. And a judo throw on the concrete floor pretty much ended things right away. Never saw any kind of BJJ work, but UFC hadn’t really blown up that much then. I will tell you what I did see, if two guys were in the same club, they’d throw a few punches, then wrestle around before they either tired out or other members broke them up. If it was two guys not affiliated with the same group, I saw knives. That shit was ugly, and someone or both were headed to the hospital. And other people would jump in almost right away. Those nights, I would just go out the food window to the kitchen, backdoor, hop on my bike and leave.
Sometimes, when I bump into some hilariously over-confident 20 something year old, I wish he could see some of the things we've seen. When you see what can happen when someone pulls a knife, it changes the way you look at the world.
Having a conversation with our instructor for bjj and Muay Thai (oddly enough not judo) we asked him what he used most to end fights and he said, “I’ve never had anybody get up from a throw.”
Lol I'm a 1-2 punch kind of guy 😂 anthing to setup the right straight really. Most guys that can't fight always walk up trying to use intimidation with their chin sticking out and I can't help myself 🤣
That’s definitely an advantage I had one and grew tougher then anyone i knkw even have a few boxing bouts , grappling and dud Martial arts fir over 3 decades ,my son is an on,y child and it’s night and day he doesn’t have my drive .
Training has made me much more cautious and much quicker to let things go. The world is a dangerous place and people can be very unpredictable. The last thing I want is to not come home to my wife and kids because I was fighting an ego battle and got my head split open on concrete. Fighting "on the streets" is almost never worth it.
When I started training at 13 I figured that I could probably beat 90% of the untrained masses. When I started concealed carrying later in life, that's when I learned how little fighting skills actually matter in a real self defense scenario. I still train martial arts because I love it, but when I'm thinking about defense I'm going to train my draw-to-first-shot times more than my boxing or my BJJ.
Perhaps it's some evolutionary deal. For example, if average guy were to go against Jon Jones in an MMA fight, belief in ability to fight is better than accepting the inability to fight. Of course, accepting your limitations and not ever getting into a fight is always the best, however, if you actually have no choice, it is better to believe you can fight. The reason is if you are in that situation, fighting on Jones (or any other top level fighter), and you believe you will get savagely beaten and can do nothing about it, then you will get savagely beaten. However, if you believe you will fight, you will at least try something, and most likely get savagely beaten, but there is maybe a 1% chance you could get luck, the other guy gets unlucky, and something happens in your favor. If it's an average guy who can fight (bad guy who gets into fights often because he is a bad guy), you might have a 25% chance, maybe 15%. It would be better than if you do nothing and resign yourself to fate. It's like the advice about deterring predators by appearing intimidating, causing just enough doubt that the wolf, or bear might not consider you easy prey. You certainly are, but there's a slim chance the predator reconsiders, which is better than no chance. Same with human predators. If you signal "I'm weak and can be easily beaten", there's a good chance you'll be attacked. If you are weak and can't fight, but put on a credible display of "I'm a badass, don't mess with me", you might trigger a second thought. It also might not work, and you'll still get pummeled, but a slim chance is better than none.
Bro.....Jon Jones has never lost a fight to another PROFESSIONAL fighter. Not only that, but the very top of the UFC divisions. These are the best fighters at that weight class and Jon Jones has not lost to a single one of them. That should tell you that as an average man there is no fucking way in HELL you would even stand a 1% chance in a fair fight against Jon. Youre delusional.
I just see red, and bodies hit the floor! Love those guys. Truth is, even though most hope they'll rise to the occasion, they will inevitably fall to the level of their training, which is often none. Even so, it would suck to move through life in constant fear, so that level of delusion might just be necessary to get through the day without being anxious every step of the way.
Men that have not trained in violence are still dangerous, and your attitude says either you don't train or if you do its always in a controlled safe way.
Hah, you nailed it. I mean, why so many (men in general) have to conjure some false bravado so they don't become an anxious mess. I lost those delusions when I was quite young so I just lived with the fear. You come to appreciate it...that fear has saved me from some seriously horrible situations (criminal charges, serious physical injury, possibly being stabbed during a street fight.)
Just means you're actually pushing yourself and growing. People who don't train don't even know how little they know. I'd rather have a clear grasp of my abilities than false confidence any day. All the best in your fight career.
Possibly that no-one realises that fighting needs so much technique. Real fighters make a proper punch look very simple to do, so no-one thinks they ever need to be trained in that motion. Everyone just assumes they can already do that. I think a lot of people still believe strength alone wins fights, and also believe that anger gives them strength, so somehow they’ll just win by out-muscling opponents
I think it's because fighting is seen as such a primitive thing, that the idea of martial arts being highly technical and requiring IQ doesn't really register to the average person. Fighting is just violence for the untrained, but once you start training, you'll realize why it's considered an art, and you'll definitely realize that there's levels to it and it will be incredibly humbling.
It actually takes a lot of martial arts training to get better then someone with no formal training. It requires training until the techniques are done by reflex, then they are better then the natural reflex.
untrained and unexperienced people also don't realize the amount of damage and pain you could receive in a real fight. and how quickly it could go sideways. they think they'll be able to just keep pounding and wiggling their way out of any scenario if they're angry enough. there's a deep understanding that comes with getting your lights turned off during training/mock fights
@@1337skillzorThats because those " untrained" people arent out there running into proffessional fighters, so size and strength usually prevail. And on average folks arent starting fights with people bigger than they are. On average people arent out there starting fights at all. Cuz guns.
I mean, not wrong. If neither know how to fight and one of them knows how to take the other off their feet, the guy doing so will be better off. Not hard to learn one takedown and train that for a day to get some experience. Better than doing nothing, eh?
This is actually really solid advice. It's really not difficult to drill a double leg takedown over the course of a day; if you drop under somebody's first punch and bowl them over, there's a good chance you're going to knock the wind out of him, plus you're now in a mounted position able to hammer away in the couple of moments your opponent is stunned.
Also the dollar store version of 10000 techniques vs 1 technique 10000 times. Better to focus on one thing, Newbies learn enough in a 45 minute class to use it against other newbies, you could learn enough in a full day to be better than someone else who didn't prepare.
I have training, but i dont enjoy hurting people & if i do get into a fight i always assume the other person knows how to fight if im going to fight them, especially when defending myself. But i think self awareness & being aware of your surroundings with a bit of experience will give you a nice advantage if you train. Judo, jiu-jitsu & boxing is my background
Even as a guy who trained for years, I have 2-3 minutes in the gas tank. So someone with less skills, and a better gas tank, can still put you in a bad position. Some of the toughest people I have ever trained with, are the most unassuming. So, DONT FIGHT, unless you must!
That's what fighting is...The gas tank. ..I know how to fight because of martial arts and getting into a bunch of street fights...but when you have no gas tank anyone could win
@@lolcow6668he’s probably a heavyweight but yea pacing breathing relaxing important knowing when to use that extra strength and aggression is important too
This is the main reason I know I'd be screwed, I got health issues that have shot my gas tank. Running wouldn't even be an option. I gotta get good at de-escalation.
One thing you can do to do better in “tomorrows fight” is gather as much intel as possible. Find out what martial arts background the other fighter has. Know your opponent.
I have around 20 years in martial arts, i have a small amateur record, have been in street fights and i am a decently sized person. Whenever the "who would win in a fight " conversation starts with my friends everybody basically gives me a "slight vantage" . I don't try to argue because i just find it funny. People really think that they can overcome years of training with anger.
I can overcame you. With the knife I carry on my pocket. Thats the point. Your just showing your ego. I doubt you even got in real fights. I got. It is not funny. And I am not proud of it nor do think I am better than others. Only with my knife. You would loose 99% chance against the knife. Never underestimate real world and people actions.....
I worked in a very rough pub as a young man. I learned to sense the vibe that occurs before a fight, and i will leave any bar or situation when i feel that vibe. Even if i dont know why, or who is going to kick off. Its a vibe in the air. And i learned also to descalate if in such a situation and talk it down. Or run . These skills are way better than being good at fighting i think. Because the best thing is to survive, not to win, even if you could. The prize the winner often gets is police trouble anyway. Or revenge and drama. Fighting is stupid.
@@marcelmeyer6984 I agree, knowing how to defend yourself in situations where you really can't run, for now at least, is good. Even though I can't and just pray to the gods that being tall scares them off haha I think a lot of people get into bad situations not because of getting attacked but soley because of their own stupid shit, avoiding that alone keeps you out of trouble so much. Learned that the hard way lol
I think the main reason is "fake it till you make it" as a defense mechanism. Any fight is the worst possible moment for someone's life and if any doubt arises you will be screwed before even starting. For this reason genetically we are absolutely overconfident. When you train you can tame that and be more nuanced and skilled.
Bouncer of 17 years here, most people's idea of fighting and what a bouncer does is quite different to reality. A good bouncer neutralises violence instead of creating more of it. It is 99% social and 1% physical. The majority of the time I am taking peoples backs in a double overhook while they are already fighting someone. ITs pretty stupid to stand in the middle of a fight I learned early in my career, and as any ref knows when butter bean is swinging.
Dunno if I am just dumb, but I feel like you meant double underhook, but if you did mean double overhook, it'd be really interesting to know how you did it cuz most people shoot for underhooks and give you overhooks
@@averagehuman9834 Second bouncer/martial artist here. He means you clasp your own hands behind their back pressed up against their spine, pinning their arms. You don't go for underhooks, because usually you are pulling them off someone and your priority is stopping them from striking further, so you need to tie their arms up. Also, it's a less size-dependant technique than underhooks/fullnelson. If you're big enough, you can grab them however you want, but he's right, 90% of physical removals end like that. However, the real point was that 95% of the time we're using words, not physicality.
@@SIMUL4CR4 So if I am reading this right, you run between two aggressors and get the double overhook to move out the more aggressive one while your friends deal with the aftermath, which makes sense. And the reason why I brought this up despite this not being the main point is that it is only part that confused me while everything else made sense. Btw, if you care to extend the conversation, imagine you get hit by double underhooks, how could you deal with that
17:14 - "A little hand me down. I like how that passes through the family. This guy was great. It passes down. I box now" (without training of course) AMAZING!
@deanwinchester57 you aren't lieing, that's a Young man's game, once you get older you've taken too much damage. I know I used to have an iron jaw and I then I could get knocked out by regular guys landing a good hit near the end.
As a judo black belt when people say “can you fight?” I reply, no but I can grapple some. That’s how I feel about it. For the guy that said wrestling is the easiest thing to learn, never wrestled.
He's not wrong, tho. You can't be a good wrestler in a day, but if you only have a day, wrestling (grappling in general) will be the only thing that can significantly improve their chances.
@ I feel that and agree. If you can’t wrestle you can’t fight. But yeah, good luck leaning and making anything work from wrestling or judo quickly. Those are sports where you can be that guy or kid that is athletic and walks onto a ball team and becomes a stand out immediately. You walk onto a mat and you get your ass kicked. For a long time before you hand out any ass kickings. Seen lots of kids and lots of men walk away from it because they couldn’t be a sport hero like they were in football, basketball ball, etc . Combat sports aren’t easy and they take grit and tenacity like no ball or field sport.
@@rns7426 Sure, but again, after one class you can easily have a noob throwing a super aggressive osoto that flattens every other noob. The only way to beat an experienced grappler is with your own experience, but the hypothetical isn't about winning a competition with trained opponents.
I am subscribed and I sometimes watch your videos, mostly because, while I have taken a little Karate, I have much more experience with other styles, but I love this video. Very interesting and entertaining. Keep up the good work!
learning how to fight makes you confident but also less confident at the same time. You see the level of skill and damage people can cause, and alot of these people look unassuming. In a room of ten people, yes im confident, but also realise there could be wrestlers, thai boxers and BJJ players who look like regular people
People that are training or have will be the first to downplay their abilities. I did BJJ and competed for about 10 years, I know I can fight and yet I’d still say “I hope so”. It’s always those overly macho guys that’ll say “oh hell yeah I can fight I’m so strong and cool” and they’d get put on their ass immediately.
3:45 this guy didn't even speak English fluently (not hating, it's clearly a second language) and still managed to sound far more intelligent than 99% of random people who are asked that question
49 years old, and have been training Muay Thai off and on for 30+ years. I have seen tons of new guys over the years come into the gyms thinking they are straight badass and they all last 1 month tops. AND if they do get to the sparring stage, they gas out way too quick. The humble ones are the ones who last.
I think that the fact that this person-to-person video interview, makes people make a more restrained assessment of themselves than they might actually think about themselves. On the flip side, I can imagine that an interview on a university campus with friends listening might give a person more reason to make an overstated assessment of their abilities.
I have done martial arts my whole life, and I enjoy sparring (Not full contact) . I hate fighting. I have literal ZERO desire to actually punch or hurt someone. Its a very big mental step to WANT to hurt someone, which is needed for actual fighting.
It really is. I had a friend (who was trained/training in TKD) give me a lesson once (as someone who never did any kind of martial arts before) and even to this day, I distinctly remember when they were holding a kick pad and had me practice a basic roundhouse. Despite all the encouragement, despite knowing I wasn't going to hurt them in any way, despite consciously wanting to kick (and kick through) with power, I could still feel my body and mind pulling the kick at the last moments every single time. And as you said, that was just a practice situation. Yeah, maybe the scales would balance slightly different in an actual fight, but I know that that mental barrier would still be there in some form or fashion.
Asking people that they can fight is like asking them can you run 1 mile but they never tried running 1 mile , it's very hard to understand what it feels like if you never tried by yourself
Because they never fought. i realised i knew nothing till i started praticing kick boxing and sabate. And to me... a good fighter is the one that can descalate a possible figthing situation
Plenty of them have fought but theyre just fighting bums with no training and a crowd of idiots who hype them up. Ive been around these type of people growing up since i was a kid and myself always getting into fights every other day on a norm. There are exceptions where its people who never got into a fight and simply just has anger issuee or lying to themselves for a confidence boost or to intimidate others so people wont try them which you have people who get bullied so much and cant fight that thats the route they chose go down cause 70% of the time it works
@@casketthefriendlybed9699 exception of people who never got in a fight ? Gues it depends of where you live cause where i grow up the exeption is the people who got in fights.
@@PhilippeArantesTina You didnt read what I said "There are exceptions where its people who never got into a fight and simply just has anger issuee or lying to themselves for a confidence boost or to intimidate others so people wont try them which you have people who get bullied so much and cant fight that thats the route they chose go down cause 70% of the time it works" I know this for a fact, ive grew up around violence and my schools itself wasnt allowed in regular schools. All behavior problemed kids either in gangs or wannabe gang members, i understand this mentallity 100% those schools are like being locked up in juvi facilities like Horizons/Spotford/Crossroads. Same exact mentality youd get with a sprinkle of people who are in and out of psych wards on meds or shouldnt be on meds because they just randomly snap if theyre taking them. The mentallity doesnt magically change because youre in a different location, it carries on to the next. When theres that person whos always getting bullied(typically the quiet person) they either snap or they do and act a certain way to come off intimidating so people will leave them alone, i use kids being bullied as a prime example because thats where you will notice those patterns more
I think many who train/compete will realize how vulnerable they are, but that training does confer some advantage. What worries me is that in competitions I've adrenaline dumped so hard that it makes me concerned that despite all my exercise, that I could lose my head and gas out.
That is actually the advantage of sparring and getting into competitions, you get used to the adrenaline dump while getting punched in the face or grappling until you learn to manage it. A lot of people don't realize whether it's a fight or flight response the adrenaline dump screws over your body brain connection.
Fighting does come naturally to an extent and most people are not formally trained, so people are not wrong when they say they can fight. They are competent compared to the average person.
A bully wouldn't say "a certain time and be there" thats like 1950's to 1980's Hollywood. An actually bully would just sabotage you any opportunity they could.
Naivety breeds confidence. That’s why you knowing about fighting and how to fight makes you sometimes question yourself because you have a greater understanding of all the negative possibilities.
The Dunning-Krueger effect basically explains this. What's weirder than people thinking they can fight, despite a lack of experience , is when all their friends also think that person can fight despite never actually seeing them fight.
Majoriry of people never got in fight. I got and I am literally the one here saying I DONT UNDERESTIMATE OTHER PEOPLE. NEVER! It just show how many men have big egos.......
@@russoga Not egos, it's just a matter of comprehending the question. Everybody can fight, it doesn't matter if they have never fought before. I can swim even though I've never trained for it. The more appropriate question is, how good are they at fighting?
@@alfanscholz8663 I dont know. But it matters? You can still loose to unexperienced people. Its not just about knowing how to fight or if you did some sparring with your partners at gym. Real life is not that simple as in light sparrings. Thats what I mean. Understand?
People don’t necessarily think they can fight. They claim - in front of a camera - that they can fight. Doesn’t take a lot of thought to realise the difference or the reputational costs of NOT giving answer
You nailed it. People assume they're going to be fighting someone else that can't fight/is at their skill level. I also think, for men, saying you can't fight feels like an admission of weakness. If you admit you can't protect yourself then how can you protect your loved ones if necessary? Easier to claim competency.
It’s interesting. People who can’t fight overestimate their abilities but People who can fight underestimate their abilities. I think it’s a case of Ego vs Humility
The thing is, many people who can fight are also pragmatic. Why train all the time if you're not a professional fighter? The only kind of fighting experience that matters is where the other person is intending to knock you out. And even then, it is better to not risk permanent injury. People who "train" are massively underestimating those who don't.
outside of people who train, everyone i know think they can beat absolutely everybody. i think it comes from ignorance and ego, hell sometimes i even catch myself thinking i could beat people who i got 0 chance against xD
Because some people have more intent than training, then I've also seen people who had a lot of training, but when the time came, they didn't have enough intent.
I agree with Seth - I think a lot of people conflate the ability to easily get angry and the willingness to lash out, with the ability to skillfully use violence. That is ESPECIALLY true if they think it means they can fight against a resisting opponent. In my experience, MOST people DON'T want to actually hurt someone else - what they really want is for the other person to back down and to show subservient behaviour. In other words, they don't want to actually snap an arm, but they want people to think that they can and would and therefore not give them any attitude. How many times have you seen people puff out their chests, wave their arms threateningly and yell things like 'come on then, I'll kick your ass'? If they REALLY could fight and were willing to, they wouldn't do that, they would just attack immediately and mercilessly. What they want is for the other person to back down hurriedly. I'm not saying people who do that are always unable to fight, I'm saying the idea of being a hard case is appealing, the reality is scary and often really dangerous.
At the same time, when you've been in a real fight and know the damage they can do, you'd want the other person to back down before you get there. Though I suppose the quiet confidence that comes of skill would be more apparent and make the other person think twice before it ever got to you having to flail around.
16:44 this dude being so confident in his mental toughness when he’s never actually trained before is wild, it makes more sense to me thinking they can fight, because they’ve watched it and think they can replicate it, this dude has no idea about his mental toughness and is so confident that it’d be great😂
The difference between interviewing random people vs the internet trolls is that the online trolls can vomit their insecurities without the consequences of having to prove their imagined fighting skills. This leads me to think that one's own ego, which can inhibit even the idea of training or admitting weaknesses, is in fact the biggest obstacle to becoming a better fighter. Then again, if I just get mad enough and see red, then training doesn't matter!
Go get your own copy of UFC 5 for Playstation and Xbox! x.ea.com/ufc5/SensiSeth
I was fighting into college through martial arts and I know I cannot fight like that anymore at all. If I had to fight I would be hoping that I am still durable and that they simply have zero idea what there doing which I think is fifty fifty but still I would definitely sustain some sort of injury just exerting myself at that level of violence. I don’t think people realize that their tendons and joints aren’t nearly as supple past 28 and any violent activity even if you take no damage your going to get hurt just throwing strikes or wrestling.
I just think people do not experience that level of violence. Nobody understands the full on overwhelming psychedelic tunnel that is trying to absolutely destroy another human being or worse that intent being imposed upon you and trying to think about what to do or what’s legal. It’s like being in a car crash for two minutes, anyone who thinks that there good at fighting who hasn’t been through that is almost certainly going to end up slipping and falling or simply freezing up and freaking out.

To be fair you did ask if they "CAN" fight, and obviously every human on the planet "CAN" fight if necessary. You never asked if they can do it well lol.
It's better to think you can fight than not, in a self defense situation. Seems like a natural evolutionary thing to develop in us. That's why people think they can fight, in my humble opinion.

@@tommyglonczinot completely true. I've trained in multiple forms of martial arts for nearly 40 years. I have many years of muscle memory built in. The problem with anger when you have training is that your body can take over if you can't control your mind. I've done things in anger that I don't remember and have been behind bars because of it. Even though I've learned to control myself better through the years, the only person I fear is myself. But I'm not most people in my ability to fight and honestly there are many times I wish I didn't know how. I actually had a dream last night that I lost control of my anger and was destructive. There was a point that I consciously knew what I was doing was wrong but was unable to stop my anger. Probably my biggest fear.

@@KentPetersonmoney yes.
I tested for 2nd degree black belt, but I didn't pass. I didn't pass because I used techniques that I learned from another school. I was outsized, and outmatched, but I adapted, and what I did use was effective. The judges said they wanted to see more of the set techniques from their school, so I have to take the test all over again in a few months. I don't feel like I failed, but I do feel frustrated because I successfully defended myself in an as close to a real life situation as it can get. The instructor testing me was twice my size, has been training longer than me, has a history of no control, and came at me with full force. I still came out on top, but I didn't use techniques from their school. I guess in the end I didn't display the material they wanted to see. I don't really know what to make of it because I did what I was instructed to do in a pinch, which was to do at least something, and never stop, or hesitate. After the results I received a lot of positive feedback from the crowd, and was assured that in that situation I was fully capable of defending myself.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nowhere is the Dunning-Kruger effect more clear than when it comes to fighting and violence in general. The better you become at it, the more aware you become of how vulnerable you are.
yes, but... i would agree that i'd rather just avoid any fight against anybody, even though i'm trained AND big... i know what can go wrong, even against an untrained smaller guy, so i'll avoid it whenever possible. However, given my training and size advantage, I do feel confident that I could defend myself better than the average person.

@@cadenlewis213 couse kids like you tend to overreact in a group
I think training makes people more cautious because they see just how skilled some people are. They realize there’s always someone bigger and badder and they know what it’s like to be humbled. Regular people that have never fought or have only fought school yard bouts, don’t have any kind of grasp on what it’s like to face an advanced practitioner in Muay Thai, Bjj, boxing, wrestling, etc… Chances are if you’ve trained more than a year in anything, you will beat 95%+ of people around your size that have never trained. At the end of the day though, it’s just not worth it. Anyone can get caught with a haymaker and hit their head on the pavement when they fall. It is not worth being brain dead or going to jail for causing someone else to be.

Youre right
me too, I dont have anything to prove.
exactly, I dont think that many people are delusional (there are certainly some) but not being able to fight is just something you wouldnt admit on camera. Like having a small dick, not getting women and stuff like that
I think the confidence comes from not having their confidence tested. Everyone remembers their first day in BJJ or Muy Thai you walk in feeling like “I can hang with these guys” and you leave thinking “I’m a helpless little child” really opens your eyes
I'm definitely in the top 20% of fighters if we include women, children, and the elderly.
😂 Don’t forget the disabled. 😂
That's a great way to look at it, thanks.
Yeah, that was exactly my thought process when the question was asked. Martial arts people are like in the top 1% and think about things in that mindset. If any human was randomly selected and you're a man 20-50 in reasonably decent shape, you have great odds of winning.
I have a team of 100 women, children, and elderly that can beat you
Dont forget handicapped people and overweight/underweight ones
I have a friend who’s 20kg lighter than me , does not train at all , a bit overweight.I’m a personal trainer and who does boxing and I’m a BJJ Purple belt. My friend still thinks he can beat me in a fight.
If only we all could have the level of confidence of your friend. :)
But you KNOW he can't beat you is what you're saying.

The problem is that people who have never been humbled view themselves as like the main character in a movie, where if they were to ever be attacked, they would just know what to do. Add to that, that there is still a lot of people who buy into the old "Oh I'll just poke them in the eye and win instantly" or "I'll just break their finger and win instantly", or the best one of all "I'll just kick him in the nuts and win instantly"
People don't realize that those things, while painful, are not going to prevent someone from continuing to attack you.

Love how, when you got a bunch of reasonable, thought out answers that were counter to the narrative and content you were making; you included them. Made this quite interesting and feel pretty credible.
My son watched this one with me. We both have been doing Karate for about 10 years now. Our class does sparring from light contact to full on fighting with gear. II asked my son does he think he can fight and I loved the humble answer he gave me.
"I don't know. Honestly, I don't think about it. I mean sparring isn't a real fight but I think it helps me be more prepared.I just try to remember all the things you say about avoiding having to fight."
Is it dumb question really
If you're expecting a fight in the streets then yeah you need some experience in martial arts
But real violence is nothing like a arranged fighting,
Example you could get out of a car and someone could hit you on the head and steal your wallet
What sparring can you do in martial arts what make you ready to deal with something like that
That kid of yours really gets it. Good job.
@@knightvegthats not what martial arts is about. There is no technique against a sneak attack, and there are little to no ways of defending yourself unarmed against a armed opponent, especially if he sneak attacks you.
So yeah, if you want to learn martial arts to become John Wick, thats not gonna happen. But if you’re trained in Martial Arts, and you have learned to fight full contact, you have many advantages. I know how it feels to be punched in the face many times. I also have great cardio, which is a big part of Martial Arts. This is going to be your biggest advantage, most people gas out after throwing a couple of punches at full power.
A good martial artist has great advantages in a physical confrontation. Nobody has a advantage in the situation you described.
@@knightveg
That is real world scenario. Cats always play sneak attack on their siblings. Eagles mostly sneak from above. I think that is the number one thing to train in martial arts. You eliminate more than half of your potential opponents if you see them coming. Like when you notice someone is bad eyeing you. You have time to assess, prepare, then act accordingly. 😂
Don't want to be the one to rain on your fantasy parade, but Karate is pretty useless in real combat or even high-level MMA. I know this because I did Taekwondo for 8 years, black belt 2nd dan, and then I went into MMA (Boxing, BJJ, combat Sambo) and realized how little it actually helped and how quickly you can kick someone who only did Karate/Taekwondo. This was also the consensus by others in my gym who came from a Karate background. No wrestling/takedown defence, distance management becomes useless when you're in a non-Karate bout, horrible hand striking/boxing, etc.
Karate/Taekwondo are borderline sports not real combat, good for teaching kids discipline and making them feel confident, but after a certain level it just because a fitness/sport and you/your son would get your asses handed to you by an amateur boxer or mma practisioner with twice as less years of your experience--let alone someone who also put 10 years in.

I train so I don’t delude myself about fighting on “da gritty streetz”. I hope to never get into a non-consensual fight. Training should open your eyes to how dangerous the world could be.
Yessir. Nothing humbles you faster than the realization that intention means very little when you don't have the training and experience to see your intentions through with effective action. Learned that real quick in the sparring ring and on the mats. I never thought I'd go into a martial arts gym or dojo and school someone who had been training for awhile, but the speed and ease with which they made me look like the beginner I was really was staggering.
Martial arts rule number 1: Thise who run away today live to play another day. Be aware of your surroundings
I've trained on and off for about 20 years now. Hold a second degree black belt in TKD before branching out and training in wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, and jiu jitsu. It there's one thing I've learned in that time, it's that I'm probably better trained than about 60-80% of people and I want NO part of a fight.
First off, the consequences are MASSIVE, and the reward is minimal if it exists at all. Training is one thing, actual violence is different.
Second, you never know when that ONE person is a jiu jitsu black belt or a golden gloves boxer and just wrecks you. In a gym / training environment, this is really great: iron sharpens iron. But in a streetfight, once you're out, you're totally helpless. No thank you.
I probably find myself in the most peaceful state post roll or a good sparring session. I’m normally a very chill and respectful individual but after a good sesh im going xtra chill.

Having been in that situation more than once, I can say this.
There is ZERO sleep happening.
I've served as an infantry officer in my country's army and I have had quite a bit of training in hand to hand and knife fighting as well as close quarters firearms fighting. That is where I learned that I don't really know much about those topics and that the intricacies of such abilities go far beyond what a human being can learn in one lifetime. I can confidently say that I really don't know much about fighting at all.
Out of curiosity, how much does infantry train hand to hand and knife-fighting where you're from? It honestly seems like a waste of time to allocate much time on it in the modern world where even firearms seem to be getting more and more obsolete in today's drone and missile warfare. Of course it makes sense to have some idea because it's always possible you have to defend yourself, but that stuff is so complicated that just doing some training here and there is unlikely to actually drill it into you.
@@penttikoivuniemi2146 Sure thing, glad you asked! My country gives officers university education, in which pure military skills are neglected a little. There are several additional courses that people can enroll in in order to hone other abilities like fitness, sports, shooting competitions and even driving lessons for special vehicles and more weapons training. I took courses in hand to hand fighting and physical fitness (as the main focus of that part of officer education is to study and I didn't want to lose my physical fitness and mental sharpness as well as reaction time when it comes to fighting). Close quarter gunfight simulation always was part of my schedule because of my superior at that time, being infantry himself as well, organized such events for "his" guys (meaning other infantry or tank guys or in short "mudlovers" as he lovingly called us).
The amount of training varies quite a bit case by case, as you see, so my country and even more so my fellow comrades / brothers in arms offered options to hone physical skills whilst being mostly engaged in mental activities at the army university. Hand to hand and knife fighting was taught by an ex special forces guy, cqb simulation was trained by people who had practical experience from deployments in Afghanistan and two times I had the pleasure to do simulated combat with guys from the US and France. (I'm from Germany). So after all I'd say hand to hand and knife fighting is about as low a priority as it gets, when it comes to standard military training here, but if you're interested, you're offered options to take additional courses. I had those courses and sparrings for 3 years, most times it was practical training/sparring twice a week and physical fitness and endurance training 3 times a week. Of course that is way, way less than a professional would train, it doesn't even come close, yet it's also a lot more than the average, even more than the average soldier, and the more I learned, the more I realized I knew absolutely nothing. I hope I could give answers to some of your questions, feel free to ask away if questions remain or if anything of interest was stated unclearly. I appreciate your interest in the subject! Training methods should always be scruitinized in order to provide the best possible training, that you do that shows a lot of practical intelligence concerning the subject!
@@MikeBrown-ov2ol Thanks for the answer! Practical training/sparring twice a week is a bit more than I would have expected, but it's still in the ball-park of what I figured, especially since you said it includes optional courses. I know somebody who used to be an infantry (or maybe artillery? Can't recall) officer here in Finland, and he basically said he took a few crash courses in basic training and then never really did any hand to hand after that because it was optional and he wasn't super interested in it at that time.
@@penttikoivuniemi2146 In a military sense it doesn't really do too much good to learn that kind of stuff, as most likely you won't be needing it anyways. And honestly, Finland has shown in quite impressive fashion that by the sisu of your people, you can defeat any foe that is foolish enough to test you :) Huge respect!
Your attitude is great. The soldier in this video made me roll my eyes: “yeah, I grappled a bit on a mat and did some light strikes in sparring - I’m totally ready now for a real fight!”

Honestly, this is just my opinion, so please don't take it too seriously.
I'm 28, nearly 29, I've been in about 4 fights in my life, 2 of them ended with both of us walking our separate ways, the 3rd one i knocked the guy out, the forth one i can't say because TH-cam won't let me type the word, but it was bad. You can have all the training in the world, but all it takes is one mistake, and the tables turn. Same with soldiers, they train but when it comes down to the real deal, it's different in a way. If someone is mad enough and confident enough, can take more punishment than you, is stronger than you, all of these things ARE a factor 100%

Im a Judoka, 2nd dan, 15 years of training now and used to compete at a very high level. I hate real fights, ive been in a few situations in my life where ive needed to defend myself and it always felt awful. But yes the Judo did come in clutch every time.
I'm a Judoka who has been in real fights as well. They are always surprised when thrown. Plenty of time to escape, afterward.
That is the humanity of the whole thing. An attacker would think nothing of your head smacking the sidewalk, but you and I would feel awful at the damage we caused if we did the same thing. The attacker would likely be cheering with his friends, but we would likely be shaking and angry that we were ever put into that position to have to cause that damage. Thirdly, we'd likely receive more jail time then the attacker, because, "training".

I’m so grateful for my 3 years of wrestling and 1 year of Jiu-Jitsu experience.

So because world class fighters are better than you, you can't fight? I wish criminals thought that way
Yup! You truly don’t know how helpless you are till that first day you step on the mats. After that it takes true discipline and humility to grow in your training.

From working in biker bars in the 1990s as a bartender, I can say most people who think they can fight, can’t. The ones who could actually fight had a few go to moves that would just dust the other person, assuming relative size.
Most moves I saw were 1-2 punch, over hand right, and of course haymaker. I saw some judo throws for sure. And a judo throw on the concrete floor pretty much ended things right away. Never saw any kind of BJJ work, but UFC hadn’t really blown up that much then.
I will tell you what I did see, if two guys were in the same club, they’d throw a few punches, then wrestle around before they either tired out or other members broke them up. If it was two guys not affiliated with the same group, I saw knives. That shit was ugly, and someone or both were headed to the hospital. And other people would jump in almost right away. Those nights, I would just go out the food window to the kitchen, backdoor, hop on my bike and leave.
Sometimes, when I bump into some hilariously over-confident 20 something year old, I wish he could see some of the things we've seen. When you see what can happen when someone pulls a knife, it changes the way you look at the world.
@ that’s for sure. There are usually no winners of a knife fight. Prison or hospital or mortuary.
Having a conversation with our instructor for bjj and Muay Thai (oddly enough not judo) we asked him what he used most to end fights and he said, “I’ve never had anybody get up from a throw.”
Work in a bar in 2024, the most impressive moves youd see is extended clip, sawed off shotgun and a granade launcher :D
Lol I'm a 1-2 punch kind of guy 😂 anthing to setup the right straight really. Most guys that can't fight always walk up trying to use intimidation with their chin sticking out and I can't help myself 🤣
What makes someone a good fighter?? Usually a very mean older brother..
That’s definitely an advantage I had one and grew tougher then anyone i knkw even have a few boxing bouts , grappling and dud Martial arts fir over 3 decades ,my son is an on,y child and it’s night and day he doesn’t have my drive .
Exactly 😂 I learned to fight being raised around a bunch of jail niggas and having to fight for my cereal 😂
Training has made me much more cautious and much quicker to let things go. The world is a dangerous place and people can be very unpredictable. The last thing I want is to not come home to my wife and kids because I was fighting an ego battle and got my head split open on concrete. Fighting "on the streets" is almost never worth it.
When I started training at 13 I figured that I could probably beat 90% of the untrained masses. When I started concealed carrying later in life, that's when I learned how little fighting skills actually matter in a real self defense scenario. I still train martial arts because I love it, but when I'm thinking about defense I'm going to train my draw-to-first-shot times more than my boxing or my BJJ.
They beat up their imaginary friends. How can real people be any different?
Visualisation is more powerful than you think. Many highly decorated fighters and athletes use it.

Perhaps it's some evolutionary deal. For example, if average guy were to go against Jon Jones in an MMA fight, belief in ability to fight is better than accepting the inability to fight. Of course, accepting your limitations and not ever getting into a fight is always the best, however, if you actually have no choice, it is better to believe you can fight. The reason is if you are in that situation, fighting on Jones (or any other top level fighter), and you believe you will get savagely beaten and can do nothing about it, then you will get savagely beaten. However, if you believe you will fight, you will at least try something, and most likely get savagely beaten, but there is maybe a 1% chance you could get luck, the other guy gets unlucky, and something happens in your favor. If it's an average guy who can fight (bad guy who gets into fights often because he is a bad guy), you might have a 25% chance, maybe 15%. It would be better than if you do nothing and resign yourself to fate.
It's like the advice about deterring predators by appearing intimidating, causing just enough doubt that the wolf, or bear might not consider you easy prey. You certainly are, but there's a slim chance the predator reconsiders, which is better than no chance. Same with human predators. If you signal "I'm weak and can be easily beaten", there's a good chance you'll be attacked. If you are weak and can't fight, but put on a credible display of "I'm a badass, don't mess with me", you might trigger a second thought. It also might not work, and you'll still get pummeled, but a slim chance is better than none.
Bro.....Jon Jones has never lost a fight to another PROFESSIONAL fighter. Not only that, but the very top of the UFC divisions. These are the best fighters at that weight class and Jon Jones has not lost to a single one of them. That should tell you that as an average man there is no fucking way in HELL you would even stand a 1% chance in a fair fight against Jon. Youre delusional.
I just see red, and bodies hit the floor! Love those guys. Truth is, even though most hope they'll rise to the occasion, they will inevitably fall to the level of their training, which is often none. Even so, it would suck to move through life in constant fear, so that level of delusion might just be necessary to get through the day without being anxious every step of the way.
Men that have not trained in violence are still dangerous, and your attitude says either you don't train or if you do its always in a controlled safe way.
Hah, you nailed it. I mean, why so many (men in general) have to conjure some false bravado so they don't become an anxious mess. I lost those delusions when I was quite young so I just lived with the fear. You come to appreciate it...that fear has saved me from some seriously horrible situations (criminal charges, serious physical injury, possibly being stabbed during a street fight.)
@@sahamal_savuI think wrestling should be mandatory for men in high school.
@@sahamal_savu I don't think its bravado, just male stupidity.
So you think life is just a daily game of walking around through a world of people looking for a fight?
Maybe its just you and your insecurity.
After a 4 years of intense training and 4 k1 fights, my confidence level is surprisingly lower than before...
You must have insane cardio out compared to the average person.
Just means you're actually pushing yourself and growing. People who don't train don't even know how little they know. I'd rather have a clear grasp of my abilities than false confidence any day. All the best in your fight career.
Update us after another 4 years
Check your t levels
Lol it's crazy how that works
People who actually know how to fight never get into fights in the street because they know how dangerous fights can be.
Possibly that no-one realises that fighting needs so much technique.
Real fighters make a proper punch look very simple to do, so no-one thinks they ever need to be trained in that motion. Everyone just assumes they can already do that.
I think a lot of people still believe strength alone wins fights, and also believe that anger gives them strength, so somehow they’ll just win by out-muscling opponents
Then look at Dricus and Emmett 😂
I think it's because fighting is seen as such a primitive thing, that the idea of martial arts being highly technical and requiring IQ doesn't really register to the average person. Fighting is just violence for the untrained, but once you start training, you'll realize why it's considered an art, and you'll definitely realize that there's levels to it and it will be incredibly humbling.
It actually takes a lot of martial arts training to get better then someone with no formal training. It requires training until the techniques are done by reflex, then they are better then the natural reflex.
untrained and unexperienced people also don't realize the amount of damage and pain you could receive in a real fight. and how quickly it could go sideways. they think they'll be able to just keep pounding and wiggling their way out of any scenario if they're angry enough. there's a deep understanding that comes with getting your lights turned off during training/mock fights
@@1337skillzorThats because those " untrained" people arent out there running into proffessional fighters, so size and strength usually prevail.
And on average folks arent starting fights with people bigger than they are.
On average people arent out there starting fights at all.
Cuz guns.
The boxer guy said "just learn wrestling real quick" 😂
I mean, not wrong. If neither know how to fight and one of them knows how to take the other off their feet, the guy doing so will be better off.
Not hard to learn one takedown and train that for a day to get some experience. Better than doing nothing, eh?
This is actually really solid advice. It's really not difficult to drill a double leg takedown over the course of a day; if you drop under somebody's first punch and bowl them over, there's a good chance you're going to knock the wind out of him, plus you're now in a mounted position able to hammer away in the couple of moments your opponent is stunned.
Also the dollar store version of 10000 techniques vs 1 technique 10000 times. Better to focus on one thing, Newbies learn enough in a 45 minute class to use it against other newbies, you could learn enough in a full day to be better than someone else who didn't prepare.
@fizzywhizzbanger5610 not if I have my wrestlers block in place 😂. I kid of course.
Yes that's a dumb answer you can't learn wrestling in 1 day and without a proper coach
I have training, but i dont enjoy hurting people & if i do get into a fight i always assume the other person knows how to fight if im going to fight them, especially when defending myself. But i think self awareness & being aware of your surroundings with a bit of experience will give you a nice advantage if you train. Judo, jiu-jitsu & boxing is my background

Even as a guy who trained for years, I have 2-3 minutes in the gas tank. So someone with less skills, and a better gas tank, can still put you in a bad position. Some of the toughest people I have ever trained with, are the most unassuming. So, DONT FIGHT, unless you must!
You need to pace yourself better then. If you gas out that fast

2-3 min gas tank is insanely bad. But tbh street fights doesn't last that long so you're probably fine 😂
One thing you can do to do better in “tomorrows fight” is gather as much intel as possible. Find out what martial arts background the other fighter has. Know your opponent.
I have around 20 years in martial arts, i have a small amateur record, have been in street fights and i am a decently sized person. Whenever the "who would win in a fight " conversation starts with my friends everybody basically gives me a "slight vantage" . I don't try to argue because i just find it funny. People really think that they can overcome years of training with anger.
I can overcame you. With the knife I carry on my pocket. Thats the point. Your just showing your ego. I doubt you even got in real fights. I got. It is not funny. And I am not proud of it nor do think I am better than others.

. These skills are way better than being good at fighting i think. Because the best thing is to survive, not to win, even if you could. The prize the winner often gets is police trouble anyway. Or revenge and drama. Fighting is stupid.

I think a lot of people get into bad situations not because of getting attacked but soley because of their own stupid shit, avoiding that alone keeps you out of trouble so much. Learned that the hard way lol
The first guy thinks life is a cartoon where the angriest wins a fist fight
I think the main reason is "fake it till you make it" as a defense mechanism. Any fight is the worst possible moment for someone's life and if any doubt arises you will be screwed before even starting. For this reason genetically we are absolutely overconfident. When you train you can tame that and be more nuanced and skilled.
Bouncer of 17 years here, most people's idea of fighting and what a bouncer does is quite different to reality. A good bouncer neutralises violence instead of creating more of it. It is 99% social and 1% physical. The majority of the time I am taking peoples backs in a double overhook while they are already fighting someone. ITs pretty stupid to stand in the middle of a fight I learned early in my career, and as any ref knows when butter bean is swinging.
Dunno if I am just dumb, but I feel like you meant double underhook, but if you did mean double overhook, it'd be really interesting to know how you did it cuz most people shoot for underhooks and give you overhooks

@@symbolsarenotreality4595 What do you mean by hands clasped on spine
@@averagehuman9834 Second bouncer/martial artist here. He means you clasp your own hands behind their back pressed up against their spine, pinning their arms. You don't go for underhooks, because usually you are pulling them off someone and your priority is stopping them from striking further, so you need to tie their arms up. Also, it's a less size-dependant technique than underhooks/fullnelson. If you're big enough, you can grab them however you want, but he's right, 90% of physical removals end like that.
However, the real point was that 95% of the time we're using words, not physicality.
@@SIMUL4CR4 So if I am reading this right, you run between two aggressors and get the double overhook to move out the more aggressive one while your friends deal with the aftermath, which makes sense.

I have done martial arts my whole life, and I enjoy sparring (Not full contact) . I hate fighting. I have literal ZERO desire to actually punch or hurt someone. Its a very big mental step to WANT to hurt someone, which is needed for actual fighting.
It really is. I had a friend (who was trained/training in TKD) give me a lesson once (as someone who never did any kind of martial arts before) and even to this day, I distinctly remember when they were holding a kick pad and had me practice a basic roundhouse. Despite all the encouragement, despite knowing I wasn't going to hurt them in any way, despite consciously wanting to kick (and kick through) with power, I could still feel my body and mind pulling the kick at the last moments every single time. And as you said, that was just a practice situation. Yeah, maybe the scales would balance slightly different in an actual fight, but I know that that mental barrier would still be there in some form or fashion.

What worries me is that in competitions I've adrenaline dumped so hard that it makes me concerned that despite all my exercise, that I could lose my head and gas out.
That is actually the advantage of sparring and getting into competitions, you get used to the adrenaline dump while getting punched in the face or grappling until you learn to manage it. A lot of people don't realize whether it's a fight or flight response the adrenaline dump screws over your body brain connection.
Fighting does come naturally to an extent and most people are not formally trained, so people are not wrong when they say they can fight. They are competent compared to the average person.
The average person is an average fighter
A bully wouldn't say "a certain time and be there" thats like 1950's to 1980's Hollywood. An actually bully would just sabotage you any opportunity they could.
We spend so much time thinking about how we would do in a fight that we convince ourselves that thinking is enough and we don't need training.
Naivety breeds confidence. That’s why you knowing about fighting and how to fight makes you sometimes question yourself because you have a greater understanding of all the negative possibilities.
dude, i cant believe you ran in to Squirrell Master...what a legend. I havent seen him since half-baked!
The Dunning-Krueger effect basically explains this. What's weirder than people thinking they can fight, despite a lack of experience , is when all their friends also think that person can fight despite never actually seeing them fight.
All of my friends telling people I could fight saved me from having to fight people back in school lol.
Majoriry of people never got in fight. I got and I am literally the one here saying I DONT UNDERESTIMATE OTHER PEOPLE.
NEVER!
It just show how many men have big egos.......
@@russoga Not egos, it's just a matter of comprehending the question. Everybody can fight, it doesn't matter if they have never fought before. I can swim even though I've never trained for it.
The more appropriate question is, how good are they at fighting?
@@russoga ?
@@alfanscholz8663 I dont know. But it matters? You can still loose to unexperienced people. Its not just about knowing how to fight or if you did some sparring with your partners at gym. Real life is not that simple as in light sparrings. Thats what I mean. Understand?
People don’t necessarily think they can fight. They claim - in front of a camera - that they can fight. Doesn’t take a lot of thought to realise the difference or the reputational costs of NOT giving answer
You nailed it. People assume they're going to be fighting someone else that can't fight/is at their skill level. I also think, for men, saying you can't fight feels like an admission of weakness. If you admit you can't protect yourself then how can you protect your loved ones if necessary? Easier to claim competency.
It’s interesting. People who can’t fight overestimate their abilities but People who can fight underestimate their abilities. I think it’s a case of Ego vs Humility
That is pretty much the exact definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The thing is, many people who can fight are also pragmatic. Why train all the time if you're not a professional fighter? The only kind of fighting experience that matters is where the other person is intending to knock you out. And even then, it is better to not risk permanent injury. People who "train" are massively underestimating those who don't.
"Depends on my level of anger" LMFAO This vid is gonna be a banger
outside of people who train, everyone i know think they can beat absolutely everybody. i think it comes from ignorance and ego, hell sometimes i even catch myself thinking i could beat people who i got 0 chance against xD
French dude with green backpack was quite honest and humble, refreshing.
I like how you show the normal reactions of people. I feel like its depolarizing, a unique thing on the internet. Brings people together.
Because some people have more intent than training, then I've also seen people who had a lot of training, but when the time came, they didn't have enough intent.
The toughest part of fighting is managing your heart rate.
It's more challenging when you have a heart murmur.
What i try to do is, be as ready as possible without obsessing over it, training to a detriment, or gas lighting ourselves by overconfidence. 😁💯💡
I agree with Seth - I think a lot of people conflate the ability to easily get angry and the willingness to lash out, with the ability to skillfully use violence. That is ESPECIALLY true if they think it means they can fight against a resisting opponent. In my experience, MOST people DON'T want to actually hurt someone else - what they really want is for the other person to back down and to show subservient behaviour. In other words, they don't want to actually snap an arm, but they want people to think that they can and would and therefore not give them any attitude.
How many times have you seen people puff out their chests, wave their arms threateningly and yell things like 'come on then, I'll kick your ass'? If they REALLY could fight and were willing to, they wouldn't do that, they would just attack immediately and mercilessly. What they want is for the other person to back down hurriedly. I'm not saying people who do that are always unable to fight, I'm saying the idea of being a hard case is appealing, the reality is scary and often really dangerous.
At the same time, when you've been in a real fight and know the damage they can do, you'd want the other person to back down before you get there. Though I suppose the quiet confidence that comes of skill would be more apparent and make the other person think twice before it ever got to you having to flail around.
16:44 this dude being so confident in his mental toughness when he’s never actually trained before is wild, it makes more sense to me thinking they can fight, because they’ve watched it and think they can replicate it, this dude has no idea about his mental toughness and is so confident that it’d be great😂
That guy was the most oblivious and most ego..
Love this video 🙌 its a question that most of these people seem to have never been asked, so its really interesting to hear their answers
seth is clearly planning some ninja turtle shit in central park
The difference between interviewing random people vs the internet trolls is that the online trolls can vomit their insecurities without the consequences of having to prove their imagined fighting skills. This leads me to think that one's own ego, which can inhibit even the idea of training or admitting weaknesses, is in fact the biggest obstacle to becoming a better fighter. Then again, if I just get mad enough and see red, then training doesn't matter!
Man I see red and I wake up standing up and see bodies on the floor 😼 (I am one of those bodies)
Show some respect. That last guy had a great uncle that was a boxer like 70 years ago, so he could obviously kick everyones ass. 😭
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂💀💀💀💀💀💀
