BLACKS AND MARTIAL ARTS: WARNING!!!!!

This video is NOT politically correct! I am warning ALL that it is my opinion from observing for 47 years. Take a deep breath!!! If you have a major issue with what I said, you may reach me at my EMAIL. Otherwise leave your comments in the forum.

[@gasdemup]

Sayf The issue is exactly what you stated.." We stare at a big guy and say im sure he can fight" as i tell my girl, black people fight but we are not generally taught how to fight....also the wrestling part is very interesting i grew up in the bronx with the "brothers" and we always slapped box and boxed but when i went to nigeria for a few years as a young man they loved wrestling...i got my butt kicked by many guys my age and dare i say a beautiful girl( whom i later courted) because they had a strong wrestling base ( african freestyle wrestling.....it is quite large in west africa, the boxing in bukom ghana seems to be the anamoly) and i was sounding like my brothers in the bronx saying " yo stop grabbing thats gay" lol.... After years of boxing i quickly went to learn judo and bjj I think it goes back to the history of african american heavy weights who left a legacy of boxing in the inner cities coupled with the fact that it is much cheaper to box in the inner city...i have always felt very angry that the bjj schools are so much expensive compared to other arts. In terms of race i will say that if you take the time to listen to a full joe rogan podcast many of his internal racism does seep out...for example he has openly stated on one of his standups that he wants to say the n word( he actually said it)...and when he mocks the east coast he says things like " have you ever heard one of the brothas talk dey be like yeah man i studied tha arts" and then he and eddie bravo have a big laugh.... I will email you talk soon

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Here is my issue with Joe Rogan: 1) He trained in TKD with NO PUNCHES to the HEAD! now, what weapon is most used in REAL street fights? Answer, THE BARE FIST TO THE HEAD!!!! 2) Where is the last place you want to be in a street fight? Answer, ON YOUR BACK ON THE GROUND!!!! The entire training life of Joe Rogan should have a disclaimer that says: "FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY". Lastly and most people do not know this: I live in tough NEWARK NJ (UNITED STATES). Joe Rogan was born here and moved when he was 7 years old. He is so out of touch with REAL fighting, he cannot even walk the streets of his place of birth!!!!

[@gasdemup]

TheUmmahFightCamp You are very correct. His idea of fighting will get you killed in real life....i hate to generalize but he is like some euro americans that i spar with when i visit the south...they always assume d black guy is only good on his feet but then see the look of surprise when i not only submit their blue and purple belts but i can roll a little with their black belts lol... Sir did u see the email i sent you about some african american bjj practitioners who went to dakar senegal and rolled with their free style wrestlers Talk soon

[@vincechiefexec]

Truth spoken. This message is so relevant at a time when two African Americans just medalled in the Freestyle Wrestling World Championships (Jordan Burroughs- Gold and James Green- Silver), both of whom I might add are from NJ. Right now, the man considered to be the greatest Judoka of all time is a Black Frenchman named Teddy Riner who just won his 9th World Championship. The top ranked P4P UFC fighter is Demetrious Johnson, a black man. Look at our history. Look at the history of traditional wrestling in West Africa which continues to maintain mainstream popularity in Senegal.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Vince H: Thanks for the info! The first family of American wrestling is right here in Trenton NJ. And black. And for sure LAAMB wrestling and other methods are big in Africa. Also familiar with Teddy. Thanks again.

I appreciate that. Peace, Mindfulness and Good Training. Cheers, All.

[@Zend2108]

There are a slew of Black fighters who were also considered pioneers of MMA. There's (not in any particular order) Maurice Smith, Carlos Newton, Kevin Randleman, Mike Van Arsdale, Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons, Rampage Jackson, etc.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Dennis Oboza: I am aware of them all :)

[@streetriderskc]

Ive been watching alot of your videos ..... great info. My son loves boxing and martial arts, yours is one of the few channels with real meat and potatoes content. ..... much thanks and much respect

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

CAMACHO Family: Thank you so much! I would suggest that if your son is young, you do not let him look at my videos lol. I can get a bit "rough". Maybe you should look at them and "translate". :)

[@streetriderskc]

LOL yes sir my son is 5 I watch the videos then try to work it into his training whenever I learn new stuff I know may be useful down the line. If you have the time please feel free to look at some of his video clips thanks again sir

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

CAMACHO Family: Sure, I will make the time (God Willing :). What would you like me to critique?

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

CAMACHO Family: I am assuming Angel is the little brother we are speaking of? Before your reply, I do want to say that at 5 years old, the first thing to install and be grateful for is courage. I see that child like "trust" in their own small "abilities" that we lose as adults in every walk of life.

[@streetriderskc]

Anything that stands out........he currently has a boxing coach and a kung fu coach. Both have expressed an openness, (if that's a word, lol) and a willingness to learn new and old techniques. They are both really receptive to everything i have presented them.

[@mikejones1179]

Dont let peoples ignorance frustrate you brother. There are to many people in our society that think its cool to be negative and ignorant. It makes it very hard to have an intelligent conversation with someone without having your head explode from their stupidity .

[@theloniusmonk1263]

Mike Jones ain't that the truth !

[@mrmegabuckssongs]

Sayf, I'm a black guy from London. I have been following you for a good while now and appreciate what you do. One of the realest self defence no-nonsense teachers. When making future videos of this nature, can I suggest you consider distinguishing the 'significant subset of ignorant black Americans', from the rest of blacks in the US and around the world. Keep up the good work.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

mrmegabuckssongs: I am open to suggestions. Please explain a little better what you mean. Thanks in advance.

[@herbalistklg8017]

Thank you much respect

[@maddoggjones1691]

Yeah you're right I'm a fan of boxing and MMA and the brothers I hang with only talk about boxing or MMA when the big names are fighting,then they become life long fans but couldn't tell you who James toney or Royce Gracie is,keep teaching bro bump they feelings.

[@shengchenfan]

AMEN!

[@ryohazuki3071]

Adrian Broner has the makings of a stalking counter puncher similar to canelo but fighting is about self expression, finding your identity. Broner never found hes real expression. the fact that he has gone so far without an original ring identity is a testament of how talented he is and how much more he could have become. All the best fighter's had great self expression. a fighting spirit unique in themselves. even if there style was bad or made mistakes they somehow always make it work for them. fmj rj ali hangler trinidad tyson. on and on. hall of famers

[@paologarrido7409]

Problem is casual fans mention AB who is just "average" but nobody mentions Tim Bradley who is avoided in ww division. Based on some comments some say Tim Bradley is a bum because he got defeated by Pac who was beaten by their idol Floyd. I think its crazy to call Tim a bum considering that he only lost to Pac who is an all-time great fighter. Also, I believe Andre Ward includes Bradley in one of his toughest fights in the amateurs.

[@mjp-bi3re]

Sir, I would like to mention some fighters who werent mma, but superb in their time. Steve Sanders, Howard Jackson, Jim Kelly, William Oliver and many others I am sure. Race doesnt matter to me, character does. That is why I am subscribed to you because of your character. Blessings.

[@petermarton6435]

Great vid Sir! I like your humour!!:DD Ty Mr!!

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Thanks man.

[@kaliduncanel3356]

Yeah you can't ask black folks to roll or spar without acting like it's life or death. I'm always one of the few black folks in any of the gyms I go to.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

see! LOL. It is a shame.

[@BronzeTiger82]

Preach, brother!!

[@herbalistklg8017]

Peace Brother I see so many people that criticize Errol Spense for NOT ducking slipping. He says he can but he prefers to block and or move his feet so he's always in position to punch. His Trainer says by blocking and moving his feet he is always in position to throw hard shots ( blunt force trauma ) I dont see Spence as "fancy" but very effective what is your view on his decision to block rather than slip ? Peace another great video

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Kevin Godbee: THE MORE "NO HANDS" DEFENSE ONE USES, THE LESS REALISTIC IT IS FOR THE STREETS. Why? Blocking is HIGH PERCENTAGE. It takes too much proper assumption to slip, duck, weave and duck. I DO ALL OF THAT and I DO THEM WELL. ANYONE can see I have a world class NO HANDS defense. I NEVER USED IT IN REAL RIGHTS.

[@Henry-cy2kk]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... this skinny white, agnostic-christian guy has a lot of respect for you… I absolutely love how you lay it on the line… I wish I was closer to your school… And even though I would probably get my butt kicked on a regular basis… I would love to train with you

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Henry: Thanks for your support. To be honest, I do not spar much anymore with my students. I let them spar each other carefully monitored by me. you would benefit though from the classes.

[@complexblackness]

Soon as I saw the title I rushed to click. Will comment after watching. lol

[@ronkenjames]

Ok. By definition. I am a Jeet Kune Do Practitioner. And, a White Man (if that matters). In 25 years of Training, I have never heard a more realistic, heartfelt, inclusive and provocative commentary on, not just the Black Man (if it matters), but any practioner in the Martial Arts. Here, is a Man who thinks, feels, lives and breathes His Art. And He cares. Bruce..."But, one family". Ummah, You're an example to us all. As a Practitioner, A Sifu/Teacher/Coach. Anyone, with this Man in Your Corner. Is Blessed to know a True and Beautiful Human Being. Sijo would be very Proud.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Ken James: For me it "matters" that you are white because I am both black and Muslim. That says you are mentally an "evolved" person considering the world we live in today. At that, thank you for your comment and Peace and blessings.

Nikos Antoniadis: Thanks buddy!

[@tonyjones1560]

"If you can't say "Amen," then say "Ouch!"" For what it's worth, I agree with you, sir, especially what you said about the "usual" Black opinion of MMA. A few years ago, I went to a local spot to watch Brock Lesnar defend the UFC heavyweight belt from Shane Carwin and I was the ONLY Black person in the room who was not a waitress or a bartender. That Lesnar was the UFC champ might also be the reason why some brothers I've met think MMA is a form of professional wrestling (="FAKE"), and most who say this have no idea that Brock Lesnar has a very serious amateur wrestling background. A couple of years back, one of my brothers-in-law happened to ask my wife what my favorite NFL team was and was on his way to saying something "inappropriate" when she said "My husband doesn't watch much football and no basketball," until she told him, "He's into MMA...got a bit of a mean streak, I guess." It's unfortunate that Black people don't seem to realize that we've been main-event fighters in the UFC almost since the beginning, shout-outs to the late Kevin Randleman and Carlos Newton. Far too often, America doesn't have to put us in a box, because we do it to ourselves... GREAT video, BTW!

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

TRUE!!! Great shout out to Kev and Carlos! Yes, Brock was the most overrated UFC fighter in history.

[@MrKeepnit100]

Rampage,Rashad Evans, Tyron Woodley, Rumble Johnson, Cormier

[@camth7862]

Great video. Random question what is your opinion of bending the knees to block body punches instead of lowering your arms?

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

It is the BUKOM way from GHANA AFRICA to block by bending the knees: Masters of it: 1) AZUMAH NELSON 2) IKE QUATEY 3) JOSHUA CLOTTEY

Yes dude! Times do NOT change very much! It was like that when I was a teen! "Talk outside, won't walk inside".

[@curtisbjj]

Ya shaek Salam , as a black belt in bjj I think one of the elephants in the room at lest in the grappling arts is most black men think it’s gay

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

curtis hill: As though it is that easy lol. Another "elephant in the room" is that wrestling has been in our culture 1000s of years before western boxing.

[@RandelOland901-ATT]

Tell it like it is Sayf. Stop giving these overemotional kids disclaimers, keep it raw and organic, please don't be PC. That's why I subbed to The Ummah Fight Camp that is run by a black man, if they can't handle the facts; let'em walk. But I'd replace Jones with DC.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

My favorite is also DC :)

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

DC is the James Toney of MMA (Toney as prime light heavy)

[@RandelOland901-ATT]

Hey Sayf, I recently saw a video where you called Brock Lesnar a bum. What makes him a bum? personally he's not my favorite, I like Cro-Cop, Hunt, Cain, Bas and Fedor, is it because his stand up game sucks and only tries to out muscle his opponents. Peace

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

I said that about Brock for this reason: You can be an Ahole, but when in almost every fight you either lose or were losing to smaller fighters, I have an issue with that. He turned to run from Cain! Really?

[@RandelOland901-ATT]

I think I get where you're coming from, for his size Brock should dominate but lacks any skill, looks less than average in the octagon and runs from fighters around his size. Did I get that right? I personally think he's over-rated.

[@allwell06]

I'm a black 3rd generation Muslim. I don't like "mma". Not because I'm black but because I don't like what the Gracie's did to the martial arts/society. Telling people that beauty has no place in the martial ARTS, and that escalating violence in sports is good for society is clearly not good. The Gracie's basically created a disease, and sold the cure. Made a fortune.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

allwell06: I do not think being a Muslim has much to do with it unless there is an objection based on striking to the face. Aside from that. The Gracies did not hurt the martial arts society in the lest. What they did was tell people "you are NOT fighting! What you are doing does not prove much because NOT everything is used." They were 100% correct. Next, I never heard them say that "Beauty has no pace in the martial arts". If they did, they likely meant that trying to LOOK like a technician does not make you a good fighter. Again, 100% correct. What they did was great for the martial arts and forced people to get real about what they were doing.

[@allwell06]

TheUmmahFightCamp you said yourself brother that "black people don't want to do anything unless its estheticly pleasing." In my opinion the Gracie's definitely ruined the martial arts. These guys didn't invent anything, and fooled the world into thinking that rape defense techniques are "real" fighting. They only won those "Gracie challenges" because the techniques required for a traditional martial artist to "win" against a grappler are so gruesome that any human being with compassion wouldn't do them to anyone he doesn't intend to maim or kill. As a former Kuk Sool Won practitioner from the south side of Chicago, I can tell you that all the white/yellow belt techniques of kuk sool (besides punches and kicks) would be ILLEGAL in the cage because they are designed to STOP grapplers. You know for a fact brother that all the rules in "mma" are designed to help the grappler. Most importantly the "bjj" guy. Which is why they have a school within 15 miles of anywhere you are in America. It was a big scam. Let's rush in, not protect our vital/vulnerable organs, set rules to protect them, and then say every other martial art is useless. If UFC 1 was really the ULTIMATE fighting championships, I would have liked to see Royce beat CHAMPIONS from other styles. Not bar fighters. With that being said, when the stuff hits the fan, I'm still gonna be in the ranks with you. Salaams

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

allwell06: I do not doubt that bJJ has flaws. You have heard me publicly state as much. My point is a simple one, like them or not, the early Gracies Fought in a way few do or did before. That is my point. They DID talk, but they backed it up with the early generations.

[@dstevenson100]

Hell I study Kyokushin and I can count the Black that train in the art on the hand.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Even tho you were a little irritated (which is understandable and not bothering at all, quite funny even) there is nothing sweeter than 2 videos about the truth that most people wanna hear, they're TRUTHphobic, they dont wanna hear the truth, nor learn it!! LOL

[@KWillo]

You know what's the real blame for this? The "turn the other cheek" mentality brought on from the 60's.I find it funny when people think MMA is a pale faces' sport when almost all of the martial arts utilized in it came from Asians and Africans.Muay Thai, karate, and jiu jitsu are obvious ones.Ancient Egyptians and Subsaharan Africans have been wrestling and boxing for millenia.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

Kevin williams: Brother, you know I am not a passive person, but we do not want to call white people "pale face" brother. Maybe Donald Trump and Dana White, but certainly not people like Tim Wise, John Brown (the abolitionist). I come from a time when we do not cry about racism, we punch a racist in the mouth, but I had to learn to channel my anger to the right people. Example, I think black republicans are useless and delusional. Surprisingly though, some of our most loyal supporters through my years of ranting have been some white folks. Some!!! lol. Luv ya Bro

[@mr.blackman3312]

+TheUmmahFightCamp lol I love the way you articulated your view on black people hating something because "white people had something to do with it". I've literally had black people tell me they're not Christians because "white men brought it to us". Which isn't true because Christianity was around in most of the eastern hemisphere before America was even thought about. And not to mention the fact that all versions of the bible describe JESUS as black lol. The same can be said for my Muslim brothers who are ridiculed because of what certain people in the east do that have absolutely nothing to do with being a Muslim. I'm saving this video specifically for that point. I've been meaning to ask when your channel on philosophy will come about?
