BAS RUTTEN on How to Deal with Bullies! (Highlight)

[@93BlazinFire]

I'm a mild follower of mma and fighting sports. But everytime I see Bas Rutten, he puts a big grin on my face. What a cool guy, a class act and a proper man.

[@keithprice1950]

Everytime a bully (usually a bigger kid) tried to pick on me or fight me I always stood up to them and fought back. I was terrified as I was doing it but I couldn't help it, I just had to fight back. As a result I wasn't bullied and as I got older I had no problems. I'm not tough, I'm not a fighter but there was just something inside me that made me push back even if I was scared.

[@SombreSnakePlissken]

You’re a spirited guy 👊 .. That commands respect!

[@djsangre]

I’m 42, more than 30 years in martial arts, I was bullied in middle school, actually because I was taking karate lessons instead of playing soccer and their argument was always “I can beat you even without karate”. But that helped me when I was ambushed at the town fair and I knocked out one of the bullies. They stopped making fun of me. I didn’t even wanted to go to that damn fair…

Great discussion. A negative untruth always seems to travel fast, and is the one thing that gets focused on in the midst of many good things, sticks like super glue, and unless you have absolute proof to the contrary, such as recording, is impossible to convince people otherwise, and becomes your whole reputation. When I was in computer customer service, where we had customer survey cards that would be returned, there was a saying for this: “One 'Aw Shit' Wipes out a Thousand 'Attaboys'."

Bullies only want one thing: an easy target. Don't be an easy target, and you won't have a bully problem. Need more of Bas on this subject 👍

[@tonyjones1560]

My dad taught me to box and always said, “A bully wants a victim not a world title fight. Give him the title fight. Don’t think about anything else but inflicting as much pain on him as possible. Win or lose, you won’t have to fight him twice because HE won’t want it…and that’s what you want.”

[@Jazzman-bj9fq]

Bas should make a youtube channel just for 'Dealing with Bullies'. I'm sure the bully population would shrink exponentially within a very short time.

[@MVProfits]

I was just a kid and pre-teen when I took care of bullies, but no doubt, violence solved the issues, and quickly at that, contrary to the current stupid trend. Like if going to a teacher, parent, etc. will solve this. At that age, the "violence" is not that dangerous at all. No weapons, no punching power really so hardly ever any KOs just some minor pain and bloody noses.

[@quickdrawmcgraw3567]

Until that kid steals his dads gun and shoots you in your ass for embarassing him and "ruining his life". Happened at my school, so when I trained, I never wanted to resort to violence (only last resort), because you might be a better fighter, but you never know how far somebody else is willing to go to "win"

[@YellowPaint100]

That's just why I feel kids should be allowed to fight. Plus they learn to pick themselves up & face conflict. Then when they're big enough to really hurt ppl, hopefully they won't want to, because they know it could go either way.

[@curtisstafford9381]

See this happens to everyone, every race, creed and color but if he was black the narrative would be that he was picked on because he was black. That's not the way it is. Every race is targeted, stop playing the race card when it happens to blatts.

Bullying is fundamental to growing up. To finding self assurance and where you stand when confronted with static in your life. I was bullied a lot in 6th grade till one day I stood up for myself. Everytime after that I stood up for myself and if some threw the first punch I ended it after that. I threw a kid down a flight of stairs once. No one messed with me after that. I was a popular kid by the time I was in 9th grade. I found my confidence and self respect. Then others respected me. That lesson changed my life.

[@sirgallant5000]

It's such a normal thing we don't even have a word for it in my language. Took me a while to wrap my head around the concept when I was learning English. I was viciously bullied as a kid, but I just saw it as dicks acting like dicks, nothing strange.

I learned how to deal with bullies in like 4th grade, turn around punch them in the nose as hard as you can.. and they leave you alone. I had to pop 3-4 bullies throughout school and it stops them. in 2023 we call them trans or non binary, they should get the same treatment.

Problem is most don't realize some bullies like to fight, do so regularly, and become very good at it. Doesn't mean you don't stand, you do. Just prepare to lose and keep standing, that is the mentality to learn.

[@wildtatz]

I,m dutch like bas . And we learned to fight for your place on the playground . If you got bullied you knew you couldn't come home crying , yes you could but no one had any sympathy for you . It was like this ...ok who did what to you and why ? My excuse Didn't matter ,3 boys attacked me no reason ,,he was much bigger I didn't do anything wrong .. Yeah right ... do you know where they are now ? Euh yes.. OK go back ,on your way you put some rocks in your pockets look for a big stick Walk towards them and hit the first one with that stick .. and the rocks ? That's back up mostly you don't need them ,the rest of them got the message. . Best advice ever ..you only need it once ..!lol

[@michealbreathnach2928]

Well, you could be a member of my family with that attitude. That's why you Dutch have so many top kickboxers.

[@unwnme]

Who are you trying to impress? What you describe is not the situation for many kids today. It is a tougher world for them now than before. Deck your bully and expect to be harrassed irl and on the social medias and worse, for a long time. You can expect to be moved from the school and be reprimanded, while the bully goes free. But of course, YOU would be such a tough kid today that the bullies wouldn't dare do that to you. You ignorant dingo.

[@PainInTheS]

Dutchman here.....exactly the same as described. I used to be too soft, while being bigger than most my age.....guess it was due to that, I was tall and most figured I was older than how I looked and so didn't behave that way. Anyway, at one point my father was done when I came at the door again crying and told me to get a big piece of wood and club the guys bullying me.......and I did. Thankfully not one of those guys directly but one of their bikes, which they jumped off and ran when I went at them in berserker mode. The bike took serious damage. So my father got a visit from another father, whom agreed I should man up, both had a good laugh, damages covered by insurance, all good......after that those other kids became neighbourhood friends I played with. When I was 12 I noticed myself I had to be careful hitting people, as not to permanently damage them. Just like Bas my parents moved, from a small town closer to Amsterdam and being the new kid they will try you......I waited for the right guy to challenge me, beat him into total oblivion....a construction worker had to pull me off him as the whole school watched this happen. Never ever had any problem with people after that, I now was that guy you better not messed with.......great. I was.....am, a real big 6f6 guy, shy and silent type.....grew a bit more social over time, but deep inside I'm that same kid......leave me alone and things will be fine, push me and you'll be in a world of pain. Never needed any martial arts for that and I have fought guys like that and with guys like that.....the latter who always told me they wouldn't like to face me, the former learned that the hard way. 🤣

I was a small kid. Picked on a lot. Lived in a tent at a KOA for a few years. We were poor. So I learned early, I had to fight back. Luckily I was quick and able to pop a nose at 13. So I only had to fight 1-3 times a year...some bully would pick on my friends, not me. I would not let that happen while before high school. In high school the fighting went down by a huge factor as the end was worse. Maybe 6-7 fights the whole time. Got my first knock out. Funny. In the movies the guy fly's backwards. Not evern close. Dude went down like wet rag. bluuump. I'm old now, 50's. Still can't stand them fk's. When i see it professionally today, I'll assist the person with advise and perhaps some backup. Although those teens and twenties...that was fun. I dont' remember the pain, I lost a few for sure.(hint for child psychologist, mind fucking only works until the kid figures it out, but basic pain lesson can keep a kid out of jail and physical pain cannot be recalled. Only the lesson of "the world doesn't care what you think is right...THIS is right and you were wrong stays forever. Not abuse but training) But at least I stood up for what was right. by the way, my parents were wonderful. Only got spanked twice. Once for hitting my younger sister and once for stealing. Both before 7 years old. I learned to fight because I had no choice, bullies would try and take anything I had.
