Martial Arts Instructor Reacts: Banshee - Damien Sanchez Vs Lucas Hood

[@KG-th3cr]

In this series, the reason why Hood beats this MMA "champ" is because it was outside the ring. Figuratively and actually. The "champ" clearly was more skilled in the techniques of fighting mixed martial arts but the second it went outside the ring, he was done. Hood was in prison and learned all the dirty tricks to win fights. That's why he won. He doesn't play by any rules. Good video!

Hood was also a good robber and army man, also he was a part of black ops

[@markozbunjol625]

you are delusional. Prof. MMA fighter always win against amateur. I think you don't understand difference. Its like amateur basketball player against NBA player. No way street fighter will win against prof MMA fighter. You can be brutal but this is not helping you get KO by MMA fighter.

[@thejoshbtv]

This was such a great show. The story is that the main character gets out of prison, stops at a bar where the new sheriff for the town of Banshee stops on his way to take over the position. The real sheriff (Hood) gets killed in a bar fight with a couple of thugs at said bar. The recently released convict takes over his identity and becomes the sheriff in his place. He continues to do criminal stuff while being a lawman in his own way. You never even find out what the guys name actually is. Its really good.

[@Valelacerte]

3:07 _"Aaah, he Mike Tysoned him. Just bit the ear right off. This is one of the reasons, when people ask me if I teach self-defence, I say 'No, I teach Muay Thai and Brazilian JiuJitsu', because the second you add in rules, it becomes a sport; it's no longer like a self-defence. The guys who train definitely have a better chance of looking after themselves, but you don't train to have your ear bitten off."_ That's the simplest and clearest explanation I've ever heard for the differences between training in a fighting style and self-defence.

[@jmgpptt]

The funny bit is that Tyson was inside a ring when he did it.

[@ruialmeida818]

Yes it is. I always tend to say that every martial art is brilliant for what it was created for. Take BJJ for example - it is brilliant for a 'duel' type of situation. On the street, however, it strikes me as a very bad idea to take the fight to the ground - chances are, your opponent has mates close by waiting for a chance to kick your head through the pavement. Again - every style is great for the problem it intends to provide an answer, but no style is unbeatable, and no person is unbeatable.

An additional layer to this fight, the lead (the sheriff, we never learn his real name, he's under an assumed identity) is having very blatant flashbacks to when he was beat up and threatened with sexual assault in prison by a huge formidable man. The victim in this episode is someone he personally identifies with, having experienced similar trauma to her. So he does this big difficult fight, all while dealing with his own trauma, he's dealing with physical and mental strain.

[@ilya.petersen]

The thing about Hood in this series is that most fights he gets in, he seems in way over his head. Like in this fight, he usually has to take a lot, before he can turn things around by getting dirty. Always the underdog. Love this show. Seeing this fight in the episode was so satisfying, Sanchez getting what he deserved.

[@njmfff]

Shut yup, he'll laser you. xD Ps., jokes aside, one of my favorite fights is when he and Kai fight and Kai won't give up fighting, then Lucas punches him in the nuts and Kai is like "Ok, I had enough". I am dying every time I see that scene. So.on.point and realistic. Once you get punched in the nuts, it's over men.

Dude... you need to watch the series. Even the intro changes with every episode giving you an artistic glimpse of the story and the episode.

I remember way back when this episode first aired and all the MMA fanboys losing it because "there's no way this random guy is gonna come in and beat out a trained MMA fighter like this who has years of training and wins under his belt", and most other people pointing out, well no, he didn't have a good chance at beating him in a straight up brawl with grappling, which is entirely why he quickly changed gears and started fighting as "dirty" as possible and broke him down bit by bit all while still getting the shit kicked out of himself.

[@pp-vf8ls]

one of the reason i love Hood, because he always fight to survive, not to win, either you`re dead, or im dead if you play by your rules, you invite doom when fight agaisnt Hood

Hood also was trained military style so that adds whole other flair combined with his insane will to survive. Watch the albino fight and you’ll see how nuts the show makes this guy at survival

[@DarkLordDiablos]

Thats what I always find funny about people who love MMA and see the fighters as Gods and while they are really good at fighting, they do so with a specific set of rules in place and like this guy said, if you take them away you open the door to all manner of things most MMA fighters aren't trained for.

The character of Hood takes so much punishment in that show that he would be a text book case of CTE in reality.

Hey, Max. This show is pretty nuts. Part of Hood's strategy is to tank everything his opponents throw at him and keep coming in order to break their resolve/spirit. It gets him into too-deep water a time or two, but protagonist armor is the highest class of all.

Somebody pointed out that the scene is better shot than I expected. In the early stages of the fight, they're in Sanchez's ring and fighting "by the rules", and thus Sanchez has the upper hand. Once Hood is kicked out of the ring, the "rules" go away and he fights dirty, eventually winning. Really nice touch by the writer/director.

[@za.307]

I use to go the gym with this guy who use to fight Muay Thai in the ring. He had professional fights, won a few of them. Decent fighter. He came into the gym with a scar on his nose. He had gone to the pub, some thug started a fight with his friend. Rather than mash him up, he clinched him to wait for the bouncers. The guy bite on his nose.

biting is not an effective defense to an armbar because an armbar breaks the arm instantly; it only looks slow in sport matches because you're giving the opponent a chance to tap. In a no-rules situation you just go full force and break it instantly.

[@Speed-Of-Light-By-Meter]

Excellent point concerning sport v.s. street. It's why when anyone asks me about learning "self defense" I tell them that's a great term that martial arts schools use so they don't sound like psychopaths, but in reality, in the real world, if you don't practice "self offense" you may wind up being a statistic. It comes down to mentality - whenever I have trained anyone, one of my first tenets is you can go green when you are in your home. The second before you open the door to go outside, you switch to yellow alert level. You stay there as you move through the outside world. You never stare at your shoes as you walk, and HELL NO not your damn cell phone. Be alert and aware in every circumstance, and most cowards who may consider you a target, will quickly move on to the next because they perceive awareness and strength. This is especially true for women. When I've trained women, I've taught them the swiftest and most brutal ways to destroy an attacker. This cinematic clip is great entertainment (it really is a great program - I enjoyed it), but it is completely unrealistic that nobody else jumped in on either side. In the real world, remember, if there is 1, there is 2. If there is 2, there is 3 and so on. You may not see them at first, but always expect cowards to move in packs and employ predatory tactics to flank and corner (and attack you from behind). They are bold in numbers, and nearly always draw strength from one figure they consider the alpha. These days, I prefer teaching people how to shoot. 🙂

I love BBJ. When the MMA fighter got the guy in a triangle: I'm yelling at the TV..."GET YOUR LEGS UNDER YOU AND POSTURE UP." I think that might be the first time I've ever seen someone get out of a triangle like that, on a show.

Maybe the best fight I ever saw in a tv show. Not unlike my favorite movie sword fight ever, the Rob Roy showdown fight. Hopelessly outmatched underdog disregards all the rules to turn the fight around, while the dumbfounded 'champion' is left thinking "hey, he can't do that".

I have become sick & tired of watching violence. But, Banshee you cannot take seriously. The amount of punishment, as stated, is insane and no one could handle that. But, their style and technique is over the top and that makes me chuckle.

"I LIKE HIM" eek!, he are a raper!, I take that back!" Too feckin' true! he is an unpleasant individual!, brutal shots from both of them in this row!
