[@dchang8619]

Magnus' strength from climbing helped a LOT when he got both arms around the instructor's head. It must have felt like a vice grip clamping down. All his climbing muscles were used in full effect there, and you could see how the instructor was struggling against those holds. I remember the video with the Norwegian army where Magnus did 60kg+ pullups, which outdid even the super fit Evan. Those were the same muscles in full effect. Without much (if any) martial arts training, that just goes to show how leveraging the right muscles and strengths can overcome training. Well done Magnus, that was super impressive man! Mad respect.

[@baki9191]

When I saw the grappling was on their knees and mostly upper body, definitely was thinking that was time for Magnus to shine. Great comradery and the instructor in the end didn't show any ego. Challenge coin definitely earned.

[@skunk_ink3954]

I'm pretty sure they are wrestling on their knees for Magnus's benefit. You can see in the very first fight the marines starting on their feet. However Magnus doesn't have the same leg strength or martial arts training as these marines do. So to put Magnus against one of these marines starting on foot wouldn't be a fair fight. By restricting the fight to knees only, the marines are being handicapped while giving Magnus the benefit of his upper body strength. This does not discredit Magnus's win though. I can tell you that marine was truely fighting. Magnus almost choked out a marine and that is no easy thing. Mad respect for that. If this fight started on foot however, I think Magnus would have little to no chance. He is a world class rock climber who has conditioned his body for climbing. These marines are world class level athletes who have conditioned their bodies for survival in a fight. In a on foot, no holds barred fight, the marines would win 10/10 times. On a timed wall climb, Magnus would win 10/10 times.

[@Ramdapanda]

@@skunk_ink3954 I think that's far fetched as I highly doubt marines only practice grappling with the sense of a clean fight. If they don't know how to win when they go down on their knees than they would be screwed in real life situations and I don't think the difference in the type of leg strength used in grappling is big enough in this scenario for the marines to win every single time with a standing start. Totaly agree that they wouldn't stand a chance in a timed wall climb though, same as Magnus probably wouldn't hold much of a candle in a heavy march exercise.

[@skunk_ink3954]

@@Ramdapanda I wasn't implying that marines don't train in every situation. What I was saying is that the marines have far stronger legs than Magnus does. There for allowing legs to be used in this would put Magnus and a huge disadvantage. By bringing the fight to only their knees it brings things to a much more even level. While the marines are still far more trained at grappling than Magnus is. Magnus has far superior upper body strength than the marines. This allows Magnus to make up for his lack of fighting experience by virtue of his insane grip strength. So I was only trying to say that fighting on their knees makes the fight more fair. Not that it makes them equals.

[@samvalentine9243]

​@@skunk_ink3954some of the Marines also started kneeling though...it's just inherently safer to start that way. It's the same in jiu jitsu. Beginners usually don't know how to fall properly so it's safer to ease into stand up grappling. Magnus did well here because he focused on controlling the head. His strength helped of course but technique is key in grappling, just like climbing.

[@cryptonfa6529]

I think many really dont't really get how incredibly fit you need to be a world class climber. It was super impressive to watch yet not surprising to me considering how strong you gotta be to do the kind of stuff Magnus does. I am a pretty good climber and in good shape and he s a superhuman to me

[@netgeek3010]

Fun fact in Norway Magnus has a BJJ instructor as a best friend and he also fights professionally. It helps with the taiedown and securing the standing choke. I was watching his sprawl and looking at how he used something similar to a thai plumb hold to keep the Marine from getting control. Magnus did like a week where they got to try each others discipline. But from how Magnus looked he look like he did more then one week training.

Grappling while wearing a vest vs. someone just in a T-Shirt is a significant disadvantage, as the opponent can use it like a Gi. Instructor didn't seem to take advantage of it, but it felt like he wasn't going hard, or underestimated Magnus at the start and couldn't get back in the game after.

INTENSE! I was with Magnus, every exercise! I could feel the struggle and strong will to empower yourself and push through! Nothing like the USMC! Semper Fi!

[@landolonnie8811]

Yeah but that guy was low key capping about the hardest pft. Army is about the same and I was a Corpsman and I was kind of worried. But I maxed out on sit-ups easier than I did for navy sit-ups and the pull-ups weren’t that hard. At the time I’d rather do pull-ups than push-ups. Then the run was twice the distance but you basically get the same time as you would if you ran a mile and a half just double that time. They being said the marine corps pft is still no easy task

[@T1tanAtlas]

Magnus in the grappling was incredible, once he grabs you it’s a slow inexorable push down into the water, you can see him engaging his fingers and shoulder muscles, and it’s like a gear just moving and locking further and further down. Awesome video Magnus and USMC, this channel makes me want to be a better climber but also better all round athlete and person

Magnus you’re an inspiration to us all. I genuinely hope our paths cross one day just so I can thank you for motivating me to close the laptop, leave the house and walk into a climbing gym for the first time. This was in mid December of 2021 and since then I have been climbing 4-5 times a week. Over the past two months I have acquired enough gear to venture outside and try out some real rock and it’s amazing. I never thought something would impact my life as quickly and as powerfully as rock climbing has. All other hobbies and passions have taken a back seat. Watching your videos lead me to this lifestyle and to meeting a host of amazing people. Thank you! (My Rúngne chalk bag has definitely made the experience better as well.) 😎🙏

This is what Marines do. They get down in your face and do extras at your pace to keep you going. My son is a Marine and I have watched him do this many times. They will not give up on each other, and if someone is struggling, even if they are finished with their own set, they will jump right back in and do them with you til you finish.

I was in the Air Force for 4 years and just got out recently. We don't get put through the wringer as hard as Marines but when you experience highly stressful situations and only have each other to lean on it really does foster deep bonds. I made friends in the military that I love like a second set of siblings. That's also why it's incredibly hard for some to transition to civilian life because it can feel like they just lost their identity. But it's something that never really goes away.

It's really amazing how the Corps shows you that you can actually do. Just when you think your body can't endure any more, you find that 2nd wind and burst through your perceived barriers; and your brothers in arms celebrate your victory with you. I was a 5 ft. 5 inch bag of out-of-shape doughnuts before I joined, but I was a lean and mean, fighting machine after boot camp. My drill instructors loved putting me up against the biggest guys in my platoon, because they loved watching me fight until I couldn't stand anymore. I was a pit-chihuahua ;). When I got to my A-school in Pensacola, the Navy put me and my Gym-rat brother Castillo in charge of the physical training for the class. We hit the gym every day for at least an hour, and 3 hours on Saturdays, not including our "Fun" runs in the gentle Florida sun ;) The Corps will push you and show you just what you are capable of, and you will be amazed at just how resilient you are!!! Good luck to your son!! Ooh-Rah!!!

What honestly impresses me most is you still being able to listen an comprehend what is said to you while you are under extreme stress (physically and biologically speaking); your brain is deprived of oxygen and reduces its function to the bare minimum: survive. At 15:20 you still listen to the "protect your head". For me, having an illness of the lung, after about five minutes of breathtaking work, my brain shuts right off. I'll do what was asked of me before I started, but you'll have to physically stop me from doing that very thing as vocal commands don't reach my brain anymore. Of course, at some point I'll gladly stop on my own from exhaustion. So, props to you and your fitness - both when it comes to your body and your mind (at least as far as one can differentiate them in such circumstances).
