Loved this video. So proud of him. Thank you for reaching out to him. And yes this type of video is awesome would love to see more like this video

Hey Rob! Love your stuff! What's the status of the documentary?

[@McDojoLife]

@@alexisinboxes currently waiting on one piece of paper to get signed to finish up and it will be out this year. :)

[@rubinthomas8586]

You got to respect a young man that can admit when he's wrong. And huge respect to you for how you treated him. Yes please, more videos like this👍

[@aaizner847]

Did I miss that part? Where does he admit that he's wrong? Seemed like at the end, he ascribed his inability to even touch his sparring partners to this being his first sparring session, and was still refusing to pursue proper instruction.

[@jasonwilliams3220]

Every person has the right to explore their own creativity, whether it be in ice sculpting, underwater acrylic painting, or self-defence. In this case, the problem is when you are influencing people in the matter of life and death. There's nothing wrong with sharing your journey as long as it's clear that that's all you're doing. I think that redirecting his viewer to not do what he does but follow the advice of trained professionals was a good start.

[@aaizner847]

@@jasonwilliams3220 That's kind of an odd statement. The discussion isn't about whether or not the kid has the RIGHT to do it. That was never in question. What was in question, is whether it's a good idea. And it isn't. The (seemingly obvious) difference between DIY MMA and DIY painting or sculpting, is that if you fail at painting and sculpting, you get to walk away without broken bones and brain damage.

[@tylerrichlen3286]

You are an extremely nice person for approaching this the way you did. You broke down all the issues in an extremely approachable non aggressive way and then you didn't beat him to death when you sparred. Props dude.

[@kennyayala6189]

This is what the martial arts community is SUPPOSED to be about -- supporting eachother, mentoring eachother, and exchanging ideas in a friendly and productive way. Happy to see you do a video about sharing your experience and passing down some knowledge to him, and I hope he does well with his training. Good on you, Rob! You, sir, get an Approving Miyagi!

[@EasierHistory]

This guy actually seems like a really nice dude with a real love for martial arts. Just needs a little bit of guidance and I hope things work out for him.

[@HokiHumby]

A guy like this will only accept so much guidance.

[@DavidSertile]

I'm all for it - growth just like Martial Journey 🔥

[@peeper4life315]

If only he would take the help. Art to miss is too ignorant and naive though

[@EasierHistory]

@@peeper4life315 idk if things have changed but based off this video is really seems like he did take the help

[@lordssenthe3st493]

@@EasierHistory Hate to break it to you, but he really didn’t, he’s still practicing the same foolishness 😕

[@ClydeRowing]

I may have had a lump in my throat by the end. Treating a naive teenager so kindly when others might have responded with agression is the best in martial arts. More of these!

[@christopherpetrone5499]

This was really a great video and yes, I think you should do more like these. You genuinely care about the sport and the people in the community. I think you could help a lot of people by reaching out like you did with this kid. I hope he continues training in the gym and has a ton of success in the future. Even if he doesn't become successful, I hope he gets enjoyment from the sport. Great work, Rob. You're a good dude.

[@danielrittenberry9893]

All it takes is being kind to stranger. Then, the world changes. Loved it.

[@JoelHuncar]

I want to add something. Another thing I love about this is that it shows you are not just about throwing shade, you could have embarrassed this kid, instead you made a positive connection, helped educate someone, and ended up giving a lesson to all of us on promoting positivity even while “keeping martial arts legit”. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video.

[@33thr33]

It’s refreshing to see in the world of ‘Influencers’ that you’re not just here for likes and views. Generous with your time and knowledge. Great video!

[@DamienDusk]

Dude, this is amazing. I definitely like what you did by showing this kid the respect and restraint that you did. Anyone could have just gone and hurt him, but you extended your hand and lead him to a real lesson in truth and i have tons of respect for you and also for the kid who was accepting of what you had to teach. I love what you do. I think these kinds of videos are awesome and would love to see more of the positivity Martial Arts can bring into people and how they can respect one another.

[@kratze1738]

Wow, this is a seriously heartwarming story. I wish this young man ALL the best of luck.

[@lordssenthe3st493]

He unfortunately hasn’t changed in the slightest.

[@zedman11121]

This was wholesome stuff. Thanks for helping the kid, and Good on him for being open minded enough to empty his cup enough to talk to and move around with you. I was rolling my eyes when I fist saw him online but because of how he handled that he is alright by me. Good for him and God job my guy. Thanks for being what there should be more of in martial arts

[@michaelswann9849]

As a mediocre blue belt in bjj and karate, i am blown away by your ability to help this guy out. When I started out in bjj i had no idea and got hurt alot, which was discouraging at first. I am sticking to jiu jitsu though. It means alot to the community.

[@emptyemptiness8372]

Awww bless his little heart, Napoleon Dynamite of martial arts. Seems like a great kid and I hope his journey is supported by the Mcdojo life community. You dun a good thing Rob..this is my favourite Mcdojo life video. Yours was a perfect example of a "senior brother" (Sihing) in martial arts Rob. Well done.

[@shagre285]

What a lovely story! That’s a fantastic interaction. You did a wonderful thing. I truly hope he follows through with your suggestions.

[@scottchirco6191]

A little kindness and help put this kid on the right track and woke him up! Great job McDojo you really gave that kid correction and a valuable life lesson that will help him be legit.

[@briankavanaugh8962]

Mad respect to you for the way you approached & covered this issue w/this young man.

[@richardmcallister460]

There are the monsters on the Internet, and then there is Rob - not only slamming the charlatans who deserve it, but uplifting and assisting the sincere. No matter how initially misguided. Hats off to you, Rob. You're a pillar and a paladin of our community.

[@theinnerlight8016]

Well put, Sir! 👍

[@mattnather8392]

I personally really enjoyed this. But this is one of those things that i dont think what any of your viewers think matters. This clearly was a great experience for you and that alone is reason enough to do it again.

[@petenovak9461]

Bro, this is by far my favorite video of yours! It was incredible, and I'm happy he was willing to humble himself and be open. Finding a person willing to "empty the cup" is rare! Great job,great vid, and you have now fully embodied the "Dojo" part of the mcdojo! Rob, freaking great job!!

[@almorrison9110]

This right here is how we should all treat each other, lift up don't destroy.

[@rowanblithe71]

YES! MORE videos like this! this kid deserves to be his own rating system. just by actually showing up and stepping up he's way better than those mcdojo fakes. that's a real man, and an honest person. hopefully in a few years he WILL be able to train and guide others; he's already got the heart

[@bostonsteve9363]

This was one of the best videos yet. This is what it's all about. You are leading by example and definitely put this young man on the right path and most likely saved him a whole bunch of aggravation. Really great content. RESPECT!

[@clifffield1]

KZbin needs more of this type of content Rob - so Yes is my answer to your question. What an awesome experience for everyone involved. Imagine how the world would be if this was the way we dealt with each other. This one got me in the feels a little bit. My hat's off to you - and Daniel for being open and willing.

[@seraphinaaizen6278]

Wow, a genuine success story. It's very rare to see someone actually acknowledge their short comings and take advice to heart. All due credit to this young guy. Yes, I like seeing videos like this. It is true that the videos where con-artists are put on blast are far more entertaining, but it's a good palette cleanser to see stories like this every now and then.

[@Ski_Bike]

Wow, what a wholesome video! This was awesome, the way both of you handled the interaction. So cool how the kid was genuine and just naive. I really liked how respectful you were and the way you "called him out" if you want to call it that. You were verrrrry nice during the sparring too. So cool how it seems he's actually understanding the flaws and understanding he shouldn't be teaching something he doesnt know. You're awesome Rob I love what you do!

[@bwmcreynolds]

You always put out good stuff but this is another level. I am 1000% behind anything promoting kindness, mentorship and positive growth and this hits all of those and then some. Keep em coming!

[@kcain8493]

🤙 this is the shit we need in the community, and the world at large. This is an awesome thing, and it's great to see open minds on both sides. I'll watch this type of video every single time.

[@shawnsbrooks]

You're the man. Very kind way to approach this. Coming from a trained fighter, I appreciate your message so much.

[@shawnminer4391]

You were much nicer and more respectful than many other people would be. Good job rob

[@Air91]

I watch all your stuff. Always entertaining, but this one was more than that, it was impressive. You represented the spirit of martial arts fantastically. No brutality or showing off like a tough guy...just egoless confidence to say what needed said, provided guidance through discussion and physical demonstration. It appeared to make an impact on that person. Great job.

[@duanezablocki8249]

Kudos to the kid for actually meeting up and to yourself for not putting him on public blast and making him like like a fraud. I really enjoyed this video

[@chaosmatic404]

I think this video was awesome, not at all what i expected but it 100% was a very welcome surprise! I absolutely think that you should do more of these type of videos! That kid also deserves respect, I hope his martial arts journey will be a long and fulfilling one.

[@zaphod4257]

I personally loved this video. It’s great to see you taking the time to actually help someone who obviously loves martial arts but is going about it in a slightly misguided way. When it got to the end & you showed him a great deal of respect & offered all that help & support it actually cheered me up. Thanks for a great, heartwarming video. 👍

[@5MinuteFit]

Definitely want more videos like this, it shows the great side of the sport with kindness and teaching for self-improvement. Sadly that gets missed in a lot of martial arts content that it can be a wonderful form of self-improvement.

[@realdestr0yer]

Dude. YES. Thank you for what you just did. Kid was sooooooo misguided and yet he was humble and awesome.

[@180Ranmafan]

[@coolworms7297]

He definitely has great values and humility, and that'll make him a great martial artist some time. Hope he does well! I think you should do more of these videos. It is very nice to see (especially with all of the bad things we see from martial arts!) and its can make a huge difference.

[@thomastrant4728]

I think it’s amazing that you interacted this way with him. The community needs more positive interactions like this. Also love you’re from Duval.

[@edwardkirchmeier9348]

Definitely more videos like this. Too easy and entertaining to trash talk all the scammers out there. But taking the time to go talk to this person and help him is a far greater good that you’re doing. Just the light friendly sparring you did likely opened his eyes to how much he doesn’t know. Good on you, sir.

[@algamez5354]

MCDojo Life is amazing. This video shows how helpful you guys are. Nothing but help to this poor kid. God bless you guys and keep up the great work. I would absolutely love to chat and train with you guys if you’re ever in the Miami area. I love learning and sharing with people like you. Stay strong and God bless

[@swartdraak]

A great vid and really supportive. Please do some more! Keep the MA's legit!

[@AndrewMusicStudie]

Hi. Yeah absolutely, I enjoyed this video and there are so many people involved in martial arts that are unintentionally picking up some bad habits. Many dojo focus to much on drill training and don’t make the time to spar. I’d like to see more content like this. Also, when he was practicing receiving from a sweep, that was interesting, perhaps not for sweeps but definitely learning to recover from when you miss. I often see beginners struggling with this. They throw a punch or kick and miss and the brain seems to get stuck. Hopefully I’ve explained that ok. Cheers.

[@kmosheng]

Great redemption arc and teaching moment for more than just those involved. Super!

[@Jandro1083]

I loved this video. I discovered the guys recently and I was thinking of reaching out to him for a sparring session since I’m also in FL, but you beat me to it. This isn’t about taking advantage and humiliating someone that doesn’t know any better, but more about making them realize it in a good way and help them grow.
