Shane has 2 dirty fighting tricks. One is to walk away then kick, and the other is a warcrime

[@oscallibur5597]

Shane’s suplex should be against the Geneva convention for how fuckin brutal it is

There was a guy in my judo club we called knuckles because he would constantly dig his knuckles in pressure point areas to get you to open up guards. It was really helpful though because you would eventually learn it's just pain and not dangerous so do your best to ignore it.

[@hard2hurt]

Sounds like a miserable person

[@AeolethNionian]

@@hard2hurt lol He was actually pretty cool aside that and was always really helpful. It just kind of sucked rolling with him.

[@meesert]

We actually got taught to do that in Judo class, grab the pants and dig the knuckles into the thigh to open the guard. Like you say effective in the beginning but at some point you get used to it (and thus people cant do it to you in competition). Same with using the elbow to force a guard open.

[@zodiac154]

Trying to use pain compliance to open guards in the gym is just going to really piss people off.

[@aznkane87]

@@meesert i've learned it in judo too to also grind the knuckles against the sides of the neck to get them open up their chin for the choke. I don't like using it myself but it is a valid technique in judo.

[@_Wraith247]

I like how everyone was so willing to demonstrate on Icy Mike with their dirtiest tactics. They were really getting into at the end, guys be like, "move, it's my turn to hurt Icey Mike again". lol

Question for Viewers: What was your favorite dirty attack from the video? Do you have any dirty tricks of your own?

[@miles1979]

The coolest tech that I'll never get to try is JD's. The problem is that I'm cool with all of my training partners.

[@MikesDadvice]

after an accidental groin kick, I'll faint another to get them to drop their guard

[@ferociousmullet9287]

Deffo the knee on the neck and the shin on the leg by Noble. Also, stubby fingers. Use what you got.

[@LogarCreed]

I liked them all, but I have to say the one you did with the fist under the neck/throat and uppercuts. Because I have so much free time on my hands I learned a lot of fisticuffs techniques and the standing on the foot is one of my favorites by far. Hard for me to narrow down because I like dirty fighting because nobody plays Fair nowadays. Loved your video and really hope you and your class make more of them. Keep on Truckin 😎🇨🇦🤘

[@lowbudgetmma3087]

As a smaller gentleman myself, I love Kevin's technique of concentrating weight into an elbow. I don't do it unless my partner is also employing some nasty techniques, or if we're like 10 rolls in and I can't submit you. You've proven you can kill me enough that I will employ hard-mode and throw some vigor into it.

[@senoreldughez4277]

Don't know if this was mentioned previously, but love and respect to IcyMike for taking pain for our education and amusement! I'll honestly admit, you had be laughing when you took the ride on the Pain Train =9 Thanks again for another great Collaboration Video!

[@bubonicmouse2623]

All the dirty tricks I know, I learned in rugby, we use to shave our heads and beards two days before a game, so we were all nice and sandpapery any time you were in the skrum or fighting over the ball you press in hard and start grinding away. That and how to hide hard hits when tackling someone.

[@formoney5255]

you know its serious when Icy Mike is the one censoring it lmao

[@ombra30]

do you have any idea what that was?

[@BradYaeger]

My favorites are 1) "Horse Bite . You pinch and twist the skin on the inside of the thigh as hard as you can to get people off of you . They will sometimes literally jump up . First time done I swore something was torn and bleeding . 2) Switch your hand lead hand but NOT your feet. Throw some 1- 2's but then leave the rear hand out front and start "jabbing " with it. The other guy will reset his distance not realizing he is staying in range of the other hand now . 3) What my last instructor called "Larry Harstells Request " When on somebodies back and they wont give up the neck stick an elbow in their spine and start grinding , head pops up real fast

As someone who has used that collar tie trick in sparring, it not only works to land shots that confuse the opponent, but it can give you a good position in a takedown and scramble situation.

[@Vaultboythefightingmachine]

Love seeing the everyone together videos.

[@DrJonesPHD62]

My favorite dirty trick is the ol Tyson Fury (similar to what Gabriel Varga showed) - step on the foot, uppercut. If it goes well, you can defend a belt with it. If it doesn't, what's the ref gonna say? Don't walk anymore? Stationary boxing only?

[@Robert-io6ht]

Never seen IcyMike so miserable hahaha

[@babyfarmcgeezax]

[@RadDadisRad]

The foot step hold is a good one. I also like using pressure points in the legs and torso.

[@moneyfornothing3264]

Great Stuff Mike!!! Thanks, love it when the group is together.

[@GAT_DAMMIT]

Classic boxing trick: if your opponent bends forward at the waist for any reason, throw a right hook over their head with the intent to miss. As your hook is sailing over their head, you slam your forearm down hard onto the back of their head or neck.

[@thehighcommunity247]

Man, I Love This Channel!! I got one that I never do in class for anything, but use your middle knuckle on your middle finger. Make a fist, but keep that second knuckle pointing out on the middle finger. Then simply dig that knuckle right into somebody's rib cage, or other sensitive areas. I got an injury one time, and it was because something hit me underneath my shin bone, just like that BJJ guy did. Past the flesh, and underneath thee actual shin bone...it's ridiculously sensitive.

[@martialartsunlimited01]

This video is awesome. I love all the input and Mike is a trooper letting us torture him. Thanks for this Mike

[@apatheticsquid5658]

I haven't seen Adam kempo in a video in so long! It's like KZbin forgot about him. Good on you for bringing him out mike. Shame Seth wasn't here for this.

Some Judo guy (from one of the 'Stans country) I used to roll with jabbed his thumb in my side (ribs) when he was trying to pass my guard. One of the oldest tricks in the book, but it fucking worked.

There are few things more pure than a bunch of martial artists hurting each other, smiling, and asking for more so everyone can see whats going on. Great video gents!!!

[@dawiedarling]

I love the stomp/push! I teach that one! My favorite trick is to start talking about food. "Food" is a trigger for the vast majority of humans - much of the time.

[@kickwriteteach2313]

7:05 if I were on the defense for that, feeling the glove pull away from my face might signal to me that something else is coming.

[@theaikidoka]

It is always astonishing to me just how intolerant your body can be to particular sensations. A hard punch or kick onto the cheek is unpleasant but tolerable. However, press a knuckle into the cheek - just below the cheekbones, where you feel the upper gum underneath the flesh, is a 'hollow' - even light pressure there hurts like crazy and leaves an ache. Mike isn't soft or cowardly - this is a man who willingly got hit with a steel whip and pepper spray - but his reactions to some of those tricks tells you just how painful they are.

[@dazz50002]

Easily one of my favorite videos!

[@dirtpoorchris]

Those facechecks/head cranks then punching your own hand to fuck their spinal neck area is pretty killer. I never thought about turning a facecheck into a lever punch with the other hand.

[@kilmarnonconsulting4643]

That's how REAL training goes. I have been laughing so hard watching this video! In a REAL dojo you learn the CLEAN way, but also the down and dirty. Martial arts is not crotchet! A good dojo is a great equalizer, because if you behave like an asshole, there will always be someone willing and knowledgeable to put it you into place. And for those (rare) stubborn ones, there will be a serious injury to bring home, which in the end helps everyone in the dojo in keeping a civilized and educational atmosphere. BEAUTIFUL. I LOVED THIS VIDEO.

[@waitam5014]

[@zukoHD]

I felt bad for mike by the end man XD. My Judo sensei used to give us cow bites on our ears and legs if we were spacing out or goofing off hahaha. My favorite as far as dirt moves go are pressure points in the wrist and knees. Theres something so magical about bending someone's wrist a certain way or poking their leg in the right spot and just watching them crumple to the floor in agony. Shit makes you feel like a superhero haha.

[@Mharriscreations]

I like doing 12-6 elbows to the meat of the thigh when I'm getting kneed in the clinch. It's a fun dirty technique that discourages the knee. The only downside is it's a little harder to land well. Another fun one that's hard to land, but is super fun when I can get it to land is to elbow the arch of the foot when someone is trying to side-kick me. Lastly, the dirtiest one that I would only ever suggest to use for self defense is, when you sprawl, you use the falling motion to do a 12-6 elbow to the back of the skull, neck, or back. Highly effective, but brutal and super dirty.
