with proper focus of the strikes, it can be done. leave your fingers bent and loose set them only for touching the surface of the face . The nuts are rarely struck unless you do high side kicks. What happens is you get hit CLOSE to your nuts and the cords that are attached to them try to pull them up inside of your abdomen, but they don't fit thru the hole thru which they descended. So you'r in constant pain until those cords relax. You CAN learn how to bring those cords down out of their "Charley horse" crampings.

[@jamesthera]

No one asked, but I'd like to add some. 1. You comment about something being against the rules, then describe a situation that is completely legal in the unified rules. 2. You call every fight stoppage you see an early stoppage just because the other guy wasn't blatantly unconscious or broken. 3. You think allowing 12-6 elbows and kicks/knees to the head of a downed opponent will counter grappling. 4. You say the street has no rules. (I'd argue it has MORE. The rules are just enforced through real consequences instead of point deductions). 5. You equate people's willingness (or lack thereof) to engage in grappling to their "manliness".

[@DADRB0B55]

3 is wrong, but I understand why you put it as there are many other forms of takedowns beside a blast double, the issue is that most UFC fighters are not Judo Champions so you aren’t even gonna see those other variants most of the time. For blast double legs knees are literally the perfect counter it’s not even a debate, ONE FC alone makes your entire argument null. Allen vs Evloev ? Sterling vs Yan 1 ? These fights would literally have a different outcome had the technique not get banned, it obviously is protecting a specific style of fighter, you can’t even debate that slightly. Now Jon Jones for example knows Greco/Judo takedowns so it won’t work on him, but that’s Jones plus he will probably figure how to use soccer kicks etc better than anyone.

[@jamesthera]

@@DADRB0B55 Given my lack of time and poor wording, I left context and wording out. It is a viable set of techniques, but what I meant was people believing it will automatically counter grappling just by doing it. I don't really like the Sterling vs. Yan fight example, though. It was clear from the start that Stirling was gaming the rules. There will always be people who game the rules. The idea that being able to soccer kick is going to magically end ground encounters is nuts. It isn't going to magically pass the guard of a person intelligently defending themselves. If you are able to line up some super giant soccer kick like that, the person wasn't defending themselves to begin with. Of course, there will be some fights that are won by a kick to the head of a downed opponent, but those would probably be statistical outliers or done by people who were already superior grapplers to begin with.

4 is solid. Anything serious happens on "da streetz", you have to assume that you'll end up explaining your actions to the police and possibly a judge.

Was able to de-escalate without getting myself or anyone else hurt, and had a very easy time talking to the police when they showed up a few minutes later and arrested the aggressors.

The one caveat about size, is its actually a disadvantage if you don't have the cardio to keep moving it. I have sparred some really big guys who will practically fall down by themselves after two minutes (max) of sparring they are sucking air so hard.

But at the end of the day, I'm looking to go home so yeah. I'll say again, been doing this 20 years. ... How else would you summarize it if not like that? .... The second one. I'm not a KZbinr. So it's not my argument. But your karate nerds and Sensei Seths out there that "fight Muay Thai champions" ... I mean, isn't that just a click bait thing? Obviously none of those videos are suggesting they went 3 full contact rounds?

[@MrMagnaniman]

If you watch those videos, they're pretty clear about it being light sparring sessions, or whatever the case may be. I think you might be overthinking Ramsey's video. He wasn't criticizing experience, obviously, but *appeals* to experience. Are you going around the internet, telling people that you know better than they do, without ever explaining yourself any more than saying that you have 20 years of experience? If not, I don't think he was talking about you.

[@procow2274]

Obviously wizards are fake but sorcerers are totally legit :)

[@bolieve603]

Correct, if you could *learn* magic everyone would do it. It's the oldest scam ever a sorcerer saying he'll teach you how to use magic when he doesn't even know how what he's doing works. This also reminds me of a word problem I had to explain to an ESL statistics student once. It started out "A sorcerer hides a Porsche behind a row of infinite doors..."

[@robertbeecroft5570]

It’s hilarious when people say they’d use a gun in a fight. Every comment section on every video about fighting has those people. I like to say “not everybody hides behind a weapon”. That tends to shut them up 😂

[@ShinFahima]

I like guns, but I feel like those people need to think of the deeper ramifications of pulling one in a lot of situations.

[@dtibvgz8441]

To be fair, having a gun or any weapon negates a lot of physical advantages. And not every country is made equal in that regard. Stating that to someone living in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and someone living in Europe or USA is somewhat different. But funnily enough - knowing how to fight is more useful in 'safe' countries rather than dangerous one as vocal altercation can escalate to a physical one which you can get out unharmed or minorly injured in a 'safe' country (which while not advisable is in the realm of possibilities) while in a dangerous country such action will probably ending with the martial artist in a ditch somewhere in the neighborhood.

[@retrowave762]

whats even funnier is 9/10 they dont even train with the weapon theyre hiding behind either, especially the handgun to a fist fight crowd despite the fact handguns need the most training out of any other class of firearm

[@PicaPauDiablo1]

Not to mention as you went for your gun a whole lot of train people could get to your wrist a hell of a lot faster than you could get to the gun. And if you're out there brandishing the thing you could still easily get it taken from you. I'll admit if somebody really knows how to shoot keeps the distance they could get the shots off and yes it would work but dudes that do that and are capable of it don't go around starting s*** very often

[@blockmasterscott]

Having spent 4 years in the military with weapons, I know for a fact that you can’t just pick up a weapon and use it, especially firearms. You have to train and practice using it to be effective. You have to be comfortable with it.

[@Full_Spectrum_Threat_solutions]

If you have never fought out of fear for your life…. You can’t fight. Great videos!!!

[@nicholasneyhart396]

Man, these people who act like they can fight are hilarious. I had this conversation today at college with some guy, he brought up fighting and I said I am a collegiate wrestler, judoka, and mma fighter. He said cool, neither sports experience nor size make a fighter so I couldn't beat him at 140lbs when I am 250lb. I just picked him up and carried him out of the classroom while he looked red in the face.

[@RicoMnc]

I'm small, trained for almost 6 years, but have sparred and rolled with much larger guys. I learned fast that even if they are new without any training, their mass and strength alone may narrow down my choices of effective tactics and strategies.

[@nicholasneyhart396]

@RicoMnc Yes, sir. Being big and strong is an advantage of mine in its own right. Knowing how to fight is just the icing on top.

[@misterprickly]

How about: Whenever a guy you're lipping off, gets up, walks towards you with their fist clenched and you're goto response is a panic fuel'd "Hey man, calm down!"

[@Zts_xox17]

Look the whole point of self defense is to get home safe.knowing how to fight also means knowing when to fight.a fire arm is only used for a life threatening situation were it’s either you or the other person and the situation escalated were there trying to kill you. And a real fight can be anytime and anywhere so don’t know if you can win or loose. Let go of that ego and fight if most necessary as in there is no other option stay safe and train hard and thanks Ramsey for the funny and great content you mange to bring to this platform.

I disagree, pineapple is GOOD on pizza. If you disagree with me I dare you to meet me on the moon with a million dollars and we can fight.

A lot of people are missing the point of these videos ..... It's okay to not know how to fight. Because 1) Fighting isn't for everyone (it might not be for you) and 2) if you're willing to learn the right way you can become a somewhat competent fighter

[@Choptron27]

Hi Ramsey! Hope all is well! Really enjoy everything you put out, so much wisdom and insight that is so rare these days, and I truly appreciate it, it’s helping sculpt an over all outlook on life, so thank you so much! I have a two part question, so I just joined a TKD class to start trying to get in shape, and then I realized I couldn’t keep up without getting winded in the first 15 minutes… which I know it’s due to just my laziness through the years, so I’m working up my endurance. What are some ways you work on your endurance? Is there anything daily one can do at home in a small space? My second question focuses around combat sports in general. I think I understand what TKD is and what it isn’t, like many martial arts, aren’t really addressing a lot of situations, they are focusing on one style, and practicing against that one style in a soft tag style sport and tournaments really are more like sparring. So, perhaps yes, it helps your accuracy I guess… and that’s my question, in these martial arts styles, would you be able to address pieces of these styles that are useful or effective? Like could you list off any benefits to these styles? My thinking was TKD, great for kicking, great for endurance, and would give me a good footing foundation to move into different styles without doing the whole belt thing from one to the next. I would also think that having some exposure to these styles, you kindve get the chance to predict other opponents next move, “hey I recognize that foot switch, stance, pivot, he is gonna try to throw X or Y or Z”. Is this of any use? Or is there a better use of your time? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, thank you

[@willwailes9298]

Don't underestimate anyone. Look at prisoners. They have no technical martial arts skill, but they have experience, heightened alertness, and they can be super jacked. Any strike you don't see coming is dangerous. That's why the fence is so popular.

[@SlowDoomer]

Another educational and entertaining video! I hope to one day watch "Ways I can tell you DO know how to fight."

[@activeenglishlecreusot9628]

I have not even listened to your video yet however Im looking forward to the next one already. Please keep em going. Peace bro

[@Sovvolf]

Adding to your other points on "No rules". I've trained in so many different martial arts from over the years travelling around the country (my work tends to move around) and I'll say this from my experience. The arts that claim to have "No rules" tend to have the strictest rule sets of all. They're not doing eye gouges and groin rips. They're doing a pattern against the air, akin to a Kata or Tul or Pumsee where they mime doing some death move to an imaginary opponent. Soon as (and if they do) spar they tend to play it very safe with very strict rules in regards to where they can strike and how hard....

[@kraftbaisden3737]

I love your videos, Mr Dewey. Youre the best.

[@Sigma_Studios521]

I dunno about karate but as someone who’s taken both, I personally prefer kickboxing over taekwondo. Taekwondo never seemed all that effective.

[@foosmonkey]

#14. When I was studying and training in karate, I read books on tae kwon do, and I was amazed at the similarities. Even the taeguk poomsae forms I read about are almost identical to the katas I learned in karate: nearly the exact same techniques, direction, and sequence, just slightly different stances. It’s like the difference between oranges and tangerines. So I agree they’re essentially the same and there’s a reason people often call tae kwon do “Korean karate”.

[@CoachEli]

[@davidhoffman6980]

@7:47 "They're (karate and taekwondo) basically the same thing." That's so true. When Steven "wonderboy" Thomson throws a spinning hook kick, it looks like taekwondo, but he's trained in Karate. When a taekwondo practitioner throws a side kick without wearing a gi, it's pretty hard to distinguish from a karate side kick, especially in a chaotic fight.

[@StompDeni42]

I have a topic that may be interesting to talk about: comparing big and strong people who have never fought to smaller professional fighters. What size difference could be balanced out with technique?

I call it "boot camp syndrome" when people who attend a school with the name of a good system, whatever that may be, and because their coaches and training partners keep getting gassed up and falsely complemented, that poor student will hopefully just get to a competition (where there are rules, tap-outs, and referees to protect them) rather than learn the hard way "on the streets" where they get their Christmas cancelled.

To be fair, the guy who said he fought a Muay Thai champion (if I'm thinking of the same guy) made it very clear in the video that the champion was holding back and *still* was the far better of the two parties, even in the friendly sparring scenario.

As a once aspiring fighter who has trained and taken many hiatuses in the span of a little over ten years, I have myself really trying to be impartial with assessing myself if I do indeed know how to fight. I think through my lack of consistency and having many areas that are in need of improvement in sparring, I feel it’s safer to say that I don’t know how to fight. Another way I found that out was by honestly asking myself “do you think you’re ready to compete?” And so far, the answer is no. To be fair, I’m not sure I’d ever feel ready regardless of how much I’ve learned.

I got another one. When asked about who wins between a Boxer and a Karateka you instanly give the advantage to the karateka because boxers "dont use their legs". Actually they do how else do you think they create angles and throw punches from such, by using footwork which is done by guess what using your legs.

Everything here is accurate and I approve this message. I have trained for boxing, and used to take BJJ. Never actually competed in any aside from wrestling, but I have sparred. I know my limits, I am obviously not going to keep up with an amateur with a good record let alone a professional. Just be humble, the more you act like you are top dog the more it expresses to everyone around you that you are insecure.
