I fought professionally in Mixed Martial arts, Sanda, Muay Thai, K1 and American kickboxing from 2004-2011 when I was forced to retire due to a broken skull and being blinded in one eye. I hold a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Black belts in multiple traditional martial arts, including Taekwondo and kyokushin karate. I also train in catch wrestling, sambo, taijiquan, judo, and boxing.
I currently coach at the Animal MMA gym, the Extreme Fight Lab, and the Mordor Fight Club, all in Shanghai, China.

[@user-bj8mm4lv6b]

Love these Q&A’s

[@williamstiltner531]

Will you please finish the final chapters of Championship Fighting, by Jack Dempsey. Please. I'd love to.hear you read the rest. Please sir.

[@carmensalerno3222]

Hey Coach, been watching your channel for years. Love this Q & A the best . God Bless

[@joekchicago]

I "get out there and train!" everyday by taking one to and from work! Definitely very good at wait training too! 🙂

[@w4rf4c39]

Thank you for this Q&A! It’s been a while and I couldn’t hit the “play” button fast enough.

[@lordrakkoon]

I don't practice martial arts anymore but I use your lessons in other areas. I play a wargame competively and I kept losing. Watched all kind of videos and though a lot about it, kept loosing. I only got better by actually playing more (even again myself). So don't (just) watch videos but actually getting out there and training helped me a lot.

16:01 darth plagus was papatines master. Palpatine slit his throat in hhis sleep in order to become new sith lord. Anakin is informed this by lord sidius aka palpatine in episode three right before the scene with yoda on the wookie planet!

[@somebodyperson1741]

Shadow boxing and wrestling improved my boxing and wrestling, combined with some positional sparring (to sharpen my skills in uncomfortable positions like getups, submissions, sweeps) and some free sparring (to find where I am weakest and to construct a positional sparring drill) as well as studying film from multiple fighters from multiple combat sports available online, as well as all the in depth tutorials from fighters and coaches, with some time and patience I think I will develop my skills quite well

[@nickolasdesouza3610]

18:46 i know you hate it, but i think something me and your fans has asked you over to over is to make a review of street biefs channel in a live watch. There are some legit muya thai wrestlers and juijitsu guys, but it is mostly kimbo slice back yard brawling in a cage with grass for floor

[@kylethedalek]

I’m having a hard time with fat loss. I’m eating 1500 calories a day. Doing exercise at least 4-5 times a week. Have one or two cheat meals a week. Eating more protein than ever. I’ve started to go running. It’s been 3 weeks and haven’t noticed anything. I do lift weights as well, but I only have access to 15lbs dumbbells. I also haven’t noticed any muscle or stamina growth. It’s just as hard to hit 30 reps of push ups as it was last week. Or running past the spot I got to last time. Every time I workout I’m sweating. And I hate pushing myself as I feel sore and tired. And I feel I’m going to drop the weight or fall over. So I really struggle to. Plus I feel sick sometimes.

[@warsong99]

You need more then 1500 calories, maybe 20-25 pound dumbells, but the rest sounds like a great start.

[@somebodyperson1741]

Have patience, follow the process

[@Sbv-25]

I’ll be honest, i don’t think 15 lb dumbbells are enough for muscle building

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

If you're trying to lose weight/fat, reduce your calories. Maybe add 1 day of fasting occasionally, until your accustomed to it. Also, your question doesn't include your height and current weight, which could be a factor.

[@WassimZeir]

i sauggest that you to a gym and your weightlifting there because 15Ibs dumbells arent gonna get you anywhere

[@SlowDoomer]

Do you think that assault and battery should be physically resisted? If so, do you think that people should train to do so?

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

You should do a "reaction" video of some streetbeef fights. They've been around for a few yrs now and have more than enough videos to filmstudy. Icymike even did a match some yrs ago. Doesnt have to be his, but any hadful of videos. Figjt commentary breakdown channel does some commentary, but since you not as familiar, maybe do a few videos of their matches.

[@Danetto]

im always very surprised how u can read comments

[@grigoreureche345]

Can you do half-squats ,Ramsey?Can Japanese Jiu Jitsu be considered medieval Japanese MMA?

[@terencejeffries5359]

how do all? think i must be tarred with the street fighting brush. when 5.5 was helping mum xmas shop. as leaving, a little girl around 4 was screaming to visit santas cave again. the screams turned to crying as a bloke about 6.5 continued calf slapping, [ around 30 ], so i ran over and kicked the point of his ankle with the sole edge of my sandal. he stopped the beating and she stopped crying. i ran back and thew the flare of mums summer dress like a cape up to my nose and glared at him. nothing was said, though i think i won at least i heart trophy. taztez.

[@nickolasdesouza3610]

1:26:05 lmao 😂😂😂😂

[@simokoskelo2502]

Do you use the arm spin throw? I often get my back taken after the throw and I’ve wondered if I’m doing it incorrectly or if the technique is not suitable for BJJ.

[@RamseyDewey]

Do you do it like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGawYqCfitpmo6csi=Olllzw4jVlLc33PA And do you set it up when your opponent pushes toward you?

[@simokoskelo2502]

My opponent hasn’t usually pushed and Hulbert seems to spin when he’s throwing while I have sort of pulled my opponent over me and pinned his shoulder to the mat. Looks like if I learn to finish it like Hulbert I shouldn’t have problems any more.

[@RamseyDewey]

Mike threw everyone around with that arm spin when we trained together! It was one of his best throws.

[@somebodyperson1741]

There is also the salto from a collar tie being put on you which is similar to an arm spin throw put instead of spinning your body, you bridge

[@joekchicago]

Ramsey, have you ever subbed (as a teacher) or taught any college level classes either in person in a classroom, private tutoring, or remotely with Zoom or MS Teams?

[@RamseyDewey]

I taught at Shanghai Normal University for 4 years. Why?

[@joekchicago]

I figured you were a former professional paid college instructor before. I can tell by the way you present yourself and talk about different topics on Live Streams and your reg videos. Why? Just wondering about your future options for work should you eventually have to retire from MMA coaching due to your irreparable knee injury. You got pro college teaching exp to fall back which you can teach at the local university again.

[@RamseyDewey]

@@joekchicago That was the lowest paying job I've had in my life. No thank you.

[@joekchicago]

Sorry, didn't know China paid so cheap for college instructors. Here in IL you would get at least 70 to 80K USD salary even at the State Universities. You're a very good teacher and I'd like to see you get paid well at say min $40/HR USD so you can have a comfortable lifestyle there in Shanghai. You've def earned it.

[@RamseyDewey]

Is this a job offer?

[@nickolasdesouza3610]

4:09 i am 26 am i to old to do this without being labled a sociopath

[@grigoreureche345]

Can you make some videos with Tai Chi fighting tehniques that can be used in MMA?

[@RamseyDewey]

Again?

[@angeloesguerra555]

Maybe you should ban assholes on the chat,they really ruin all the fun.

[@RamseyDewey]

I did.
