Damn.....the truth hurts. Took me over 30 years and counting of trial and error to learn what this youngster is learning in minutes. Control and discipline. Being kind is a good virtue. but as a man being kind sometimes can get you and those around you killed. Knowing when and how to change from kindness to killer, and back, without anger or malice, is a very important skill set. These boys are blessed to be trained by this man at such a young age. Training like this should be mandatory for young men living in urban single parent communities.

I hope child-raising and education can one day aspire to greater standards than the minimal effort near-factory line approach it's done with now. It's such a vital foundation of all of mankind and it's treated like an afterthought and most parents are apathetic in the sense that when their kid cries, they want them to stop crying so they can sleep in peace instead of wanting to figure out why they cry and then helping them work through that pain. We've been here for millennia and still parenting is treated like a thing you just sorta do on the fly.

Recent years have brought a lot of dark aspects of the police to the surface, but almost always the corrupt and violent among the ranks are those who seek to abuse their power or to brutalise others to assuage their personal issues. Honestly I feel that if police had to go through (semi-regular) combat training where they had to address their emotions like this, it would prevent a lot of otherwise honest officers giving in to the corrupting influence of having near-total legal immunity. The world is a trying place, and many people can fall from grace when given an inch of untouchable influence over others. Aside from the truly evil among us (which I can only hope are few and far between), getting officers to challenge their own aggression, fear and self-esteem would go a long way in helping them keep their cool rather than pulling guns out over non-issue stops. I mean, it goes deeper than just mere training, its a deep systemic issue... but we always build from the foundation up, right? This video is great, but I think the reminder that there are officers out there doing genuine self-work is a hopeful reminder. When people say 'All Cops Are Bastards', its a mantra to remind them not to trust the system of power, because corruption lingers everywhere, and its always a gamble on whether the officer is secretly a genuine hero or a lowly cowboy. I hope that you don't take such things to heart, because ultimately people still very much want to believe in the old police ideal, the hero who you can call upon, the person who will uphold justice without prejudice. It will take more than a handful of good apples to purge the corrupt system, but those who manage to work as cops and resist becoming part of the corruption? You're doing gods work. It's often thankless, but the people you protect and serve absolutely acknowledge you (even if they may be fearful at first that you may not be one of the good ones). Sorry for getting heavy there, policing is a muddy subject these days, and we've seen a lot of awful things caught on video. But then there are videos like this one, of people opening up and being honest about their feelings, and showing the young its okay to have emotions, its okay to be angry, or afraid, and its okay to fight, just as its okay to run away. Its a matter of when, and why, and how you act that decides whether a person is brave, or a coward, or a hero, or an abuser. The honesty in this videos teaching is touching. I think we need a lot more of this in the world today. Acceptance of the shadows within us, and then working to bring them to light, to change ourselves, and doing it by guiding each other. Inspiring.

You thought you sounded deep and philosophical, but it was just regurgitation of the many lies and falsehoods pushed by the mainstream media for views/sensationalism. The reality is…most cops are good folks and do the best they can day in and day out. Most news stories of “bad cops” turns out to be bs and their actions justified. But most folks don’t follow the cases through and through. They just recall the headlines like you do.

It's almost difficult to watch because I see myself in these upset kids. But I'm guessing after they digest these lessons and hopefully get comfort and scriptural lessons they become strong young men who can balance those emotions and be assertive when they need to and passive when they don't. I still choose passive in almost every situation and when I choose assertive it is more of a defensive position but from a place fear, not confidence.

One thing I've learned on my journey is this; never confuse aggression with identity. When one is wild and shows their aggression, there is a deep underlying hurt in the soul, this hurt is attached to it but it is not the soul itself. Only with reflection and release and love can aggression be conquered. Thank you for the video, it was very emotional and beautiful.

The boy started crying when he was asked to intensify and slap the back harder. It seemed as though being in that position of hugging triggered something and he was wanting or needing the coach to hug him tightly. I might be wrong, but I while watching it I perceived the boy needed the coach the hug him tightly to let him get that emotion out. I don’t know what his home life is like. I don’t know how much loving physical contact he gets at home. People need to feel love and to be hugged. Physical affection is important, especially for children. A father’s love and physical hug hits different. It fosters a sense of positive self esteem, worthiness, safety, and security❤

Thank you for your ministry. Seeing these young men learn this from you is moving. My father has been disabled with herniated disks and brain damage since I was an infant. So even though my father was alive and in the house growing up, between all of the medications he had to take and his lack of consciousness of his surroundings most days, I had no father figure growing up. The only thing I learned from my father was how to shave and the toll his injury took on our family. I love my father immensely and we have eventually, now in my mid twenties, developed a slight relationship. I wanted to share this because I realize a very large group of young men such as myself didn’t have fathers to teach us any of these needed lessons in our lives for various reasons. I know for a fact that we all have seen in our pasts the areas we fell “short” or “behind” due to the absence of a father. So thank you for your ministry, sincerely. Much love from a fellow brother in Christ. May your lions roar strike fear into the wicked, and your lambs gentle voice be remembered in the hearts of your students.

My father tried this with me as a young boy, but he hit me in my chest and told me to hit him back, let out the lion.I could never hit him back. Til this day, I've never release the LION. 47 Yrs. Never been in a fight, was always called a "chicken". But my biggest FEAR was that if I EVERY DID IT OR HAD TO FIGHT "Let out the Lion", I would probably kill someone.

This was beautiful. Fear keeps the lion caged, but that's the wrong path. The lion must be trained, and to be trained it must be embraced. If it's not embraced, it will become feral, and a feral lion will devour the lambs it was meant to protect. It's a lesson that all children, no matter their parents' faith or lack thereof, need to learn but most parents can't teach, because they never really learned it themselves. Or if they did, they don't know _how_ they learned it.

Just finished your book, Jason. It took me a few steps ahead in healing my own passivity and cowardice. I’ve been a nice guy for a long time. I recognised how my own emotions were often disproportionate, boiling over to rage and fits of anger rather than controlled and managed. So much work to do but God is willing! Many thanks from an Aussie in Japan.

Woman have their place too. And every man has some amount of woman in him, but this world is dominated by woman in the education sector and it's up to us men to take our boys back and teach them how to approve of themselves and be comfortable with their male nature. Or else they will remain forever ignorant of their power as THE LION!!

Man, I needed this growing up. I just learned today that I've been blocking my emotions for almost 30 years. As a kid, I thought that was a sign of maturity, but it just wasn't healthy. Because of it, I've grown up loathing my lion. I've always seen it as some devious trickster, trying to convince me that being angry will make me happy. Every time I've stood up to anyone, I've been left with immense shame afterwards, feeling like a destructive force that did nothing but inflict pain. To this day, I still haven't wrapped my head around what wielding the lion in a healthy way feels like. Perhaps if I'd been taught to deal with it like in this video, I'd have a healthier relationship with that side of myself.

This is a lesson I wish I’d learned. I’m trying to teach it to my son, but it’s hard, since I never learned it myself. It’s ok to be angry. Anger is natural. What’s not ok is using that anger to hurt the vulnerable. Because I didn’t want to hurt anybody, but didn’t know how to express my anger either, so it stayed bottled up for years. Along with every other emotion.
