You don’t understand violence and neither do I

[@pyromidas]

I had someone pull a knife on me on the train and attempt to cut my throat. He understood violence, but I understood framing (thanks Ramsey and hardtohurt). As he was psyching himself up to inflict violence, I saw him fumbling in his pocket. I live in Australia so my immediate thought was "knife" not "gun". I know from watching Dewey's videos that even if I were trained beyond a little karate when I was a kid, that my chances of not getting cut are very low, maybe 1 in 10. I'm in the doorway, figure he'll come straight at me, so i step as close as possible to the glass barrier to my left, to frame him out of anything horizontal because he's using his right hand. This allowed me to force him to be more predictable and let me intercept his hand on the way in. Leaving me unharmed instead of dead. A properly trained fighter can understood framing far better than I. From this, my takeaway is that a trained fighter can do this but way better if there are "no rules" "tha streets" just gives a trained fighter more ways to exploit their training and knowledge. Such as with framing with objects and structures. So if anything, they're going to have an even bigger advantage because they understand these concepts of fighting even better.

[@dusk6159]

Basically the irony of the utmost and most absolute real situation and that requires the most competence being instead turned into an imaginary ground where fantasy, bs and ''no rules, and quirky strikes/grappling moves are the way'' rule. No wonder that, in fact, reality sees street fights as... pure messes that either get broke up quickly or finish in a very random and not-so-''real fighting'' way.

I can top that. During the early part of the pandemic I had a crazy lady in a Walmart spaz out at me calling me parts of the human anatomy after my mini handcart accidentally bumped into her. I apologized profusely but to no avail. To use a Seinfeld-ism she was like an oversensitive, out of control car alarm in the middle of that aisle. Wahhhhh-wahhhhh-wahhhhh!!! I decided that an attempt of an uchimata or my single leg to knee tap takedown would be a slight overreaction under the circumstances and decided to just walk away instead. 😉. She was still going off like a car alarm. Wahhhhh-wahhhh-wooo-wooo-eeeee-ahhhhh-eeeeee-ahhhh. So I know violence. I've been to Walmart!

Your fighting potential is determined by strength and awareness. Situational awareness, anatomical awareness, etc. Strength is needed to be fast, if you're not strong you can't be fast, because speed is a function of power. If you're not aware you can't use your strength, because you can't direct it.

In one of my first stickfights with the Dog Brothers, I landed a hard vertical downward strike on my opponent’s shoulder, damaging their clavicle. I actually felt pretty bad about it in the moment. I’m friends with the guy on Facebook, so over the period of like a year, he’d occasionally post status updates on how his shoulder rehab was going, and every time I’d feel so bad that I inflicted an injury that took that long to heal (if it ever did entirely). When I got into it I thought the hard part was going to be getting hurt myself, not hurting someone else. I learned that even though I’ve trained a long time, I don’t actually like hurting people much.

[@charrleschervanik3632]

Let me phrase it slightly different: You don't want to have to use a weapon. Take it from a very pro 2a gun nut, I don't want to shoot people. That being said. I've been in scenarios where a weapon was a necessary aspect of the encounter. I've known many a veteran who served in just about every branch of the united states military. They all say essentially the same thing: you don't want to have to use the gun. If you can, diffuse the situation, if not try not to take their life. If the job must be done and only then, should you use a weapon. Its not only to save their life, but also yours.

I live in South Africa, an extremely violent country with a lot of guns and knives. I used to be a paramedic so saw all types violence inflicted on people. Being physically adept increases your chances of surviving a violent attack but strong men are more likely to the victim of an attack. When they break in they often go straight for the male and shoot him. Sometimes women get raped and sometimes babies get put in ovens but violence on men is most common because they are a threat ie might have a gun.

Every time this question comes up, I feel like something gets missed in the answer - why do you care? As a martial artist, why do you care if someone thinks you aren't a good street fighter? For me, the greatest psychological benefit of martial arts is that they demystified violence. They allowed me to give up the young man's obsession with street fights and the like. My advice to this guy would just be to recognize what's going on in those conversations: when people talk about The Streets like that, they're treating violence as a symbol of their strength, status, and worth. You don't need to participate in that. For you, violence can just be a skill you train at for fun, nothing more.

I had a judo instructor who learned young (because his father was a judoka) and did get in a few fights while young and he said that judo was extremely useful because, in da streetz, your biggest problem is usually how to not injure people so that they're aren't major legal consequences to the fight. Eg the time a woman was hitting on him turned out to be married and her husband was nearby and got angry and jumped on him - he ran over to the grass to throw the guy off so he wouldn't break his head on the concrete.

This is so true. Like I said in my comment for this video, I had to place someone in a wrist lock when they tried to stab me, and the hardest part was not injuring them, so I would not get in trouble with the law.

[@URN-A55]

Ground fighting is not good really in a street fight. Most times you fight in the street you are mostly outnumbered, not always. So in that case you go to the ground you are only able to take down one person at a time. By the time you finish your first opponent others would have jumped you while you are on the ground with kicks and stomps and punches, let’s not mention weapons like bottles for example. One on one ground fighting in the street you will win, If you get out numbered you will get jumped. If anyone actually manages to actually get the upper hand and win is just an exception to the rule, in most cases ground fighting will not be effective in that scenario.

I've had a few street fights in my life, I come from a boxing background both competing and training. In my last street fight I knocked an angry meth addict out cold with a left hook. At the time people around me were happy as he was causing trouble at the train station for others too. He was out cold though and landed hard on concrete, all I could think was "please wake up" and "will I be arrested?". I felt sick to my stomach and decided never again am I fighting on da streets! I still feel sick thinking about it now? Last year my GF said "you might know boxing but the streets are different!" I had to summon all my strength not to scream "I've beaten people unconcious on the streets and in the ring! Do you think the karate you did is somehow gonna help your 110 pound ass in a fight?". But I didn't I just smiled and said "sure thing your right!". Hopefully she never has to see me in a real streetfight because I'm sure it will make her feel that sickness in her stomach I once felt!

When I was about 12 or 14, I found an old metal baseball bat in a junk pile and took it home. Just from swinging it around, feeling the momentum of the weight, I realized I knew enough about violence that the only way I could hit someone with it was if I was forced into such a deadly situation that I didn't have time to think about what I was doing, and probably didn't even mean to do it. Maybe there's some deep down part of my brain that recalls being a monkey and grabbing a rock, stick, or *anything* to fend off a tiger, but I don't know how to call upon it at a whim. I've never hit anything with it, let alone a human head, but I know there's enough strength in my body to bat someone's head off with that thing.

Thank you for posting this Ramsey. I work as a criminal defense attorney and I have represented people who got in fights and faced legal consequences for their actions. All the way down to older high school kids ages 15 to 17, who got charged as adults. The general rule in the state I practice is is, the maximum penalties go up with the severity of the injury. Here is my take on the conduct and how it might get charged, though how it actually gets charged depends on the police officers on scene and how they perceive the situation, the previous record of the defendant, and the discretion of the prosecutor. Just as an aside, self defense is an affirmative defense, so you need to assert it at trial if the police and prosecutor don't believe you. Basically, it means getting arrested, hiring a lawyer, and convincing a jury that the other guy was the aggressor and you had to hit that person in self defense. If the jury believes you, you are off the hook.. And if they don't, then not. These are just the penalties for unarmed attacks. Use a weapon and a while armed penalty enhancer kicks in, or you can get charged with something more serious like attempt homicide or recless injury while armed. 1. Disorderly Conduct - The lowest level crime and can also be charged non criminally as just a fine. Nobody is hurt, not even a little. Maximum penalty. 90 days in jail. Maximum fine. $1,000 2. Battery - If you hit somebody hard enough to cause pain, that is Battery. Maximum penalty - 9 months in jail. Maximum fine. $10,000 If the person you hit is 62 years old or older or has a disability, it bumps the maximum penalty up to 6 years in prison. 3. Substantial battery. This includes broken bones, damage to teeth, or cuts bad enough to require stiches. maximum prison 3 1/2 years. $10,000 fine maximum 4. Aggravated battery - Great bodily hard such as permanent disfigurement or protracted loss of function or impairment of a bodily organ or risk of death. 15 years prison, $50,000 fine.

There is an old saying - nobody wins a fight. When I was younger I thought man that's a bunch of crap. Of course somebody wins a fight, just as somebody loses a fight. But then when I got older I began to understand the quote. When you turn to violence you've already lost. Which is true if we think about it. When you use violence against another man, or woman you've lost control. We're talking about a fight here, not self defence which is something completely different. If you are attacked by somebody for no reason and there is no way for you to go, you have to do something. But a fight is something different. So after all these years, (turning 40) I finally got that. Nobody truly ever wins a fight.

Martial arts and self protection skills are two very different things.

this is an extremely important point. Huge differences between social and predatory violence. Treating predatory violence like social violence will get you hurt or killed.

Every decision made in that context has to be almost immediately effective for insuring your survival. It requires an entirely different mindset.

I'm a former boxer 6ft , 210lbs was my fight weight , now in about 245lbs Here is how to translate boxing into being a very effective street fighter , this is something the vast majority of people I trained with never understood or practiced , I have a much much higher capacity for violence than most due to my upbringing 1) most boxers can't throw a bare Knuckle punch , they don't place their knuckles on the target properly and they let the surface area of the glove take care of that in the ring. HOLD YOUR FIST TIGHT AS HELL and make sure you only make contact with the target with your 3 knuckles. I have hardened my fists into bone horns from punching brick and concrete walls to make my fists like iron . Hitting someone with high power and soft fists is less effective compared to medium power and iron fists . PUNCH BRICK WALLS , HARDEN HANDS 2) Most people when they attack you will try and grapple rather than strike , be quick and strike them first before they get in holding range 3) most people can't throw a powerful well executed punch , get into stance quickly and fall back on your foot work , your base is where you get your power and stability to perform rapid and powerful rotations to punch with 4) Where you punch matters a great deal , in the ring you aim for the chin , jaw, palate, temples , and various places on the body , AIM FOR THE THROAT AND NECK PRETEND THEIR NECK IS WHERE THEIR HEAD SHOULD BE, also solur plexus and liver are good 5) Uppercuts : people don't see this coming and if you can throw one hard into someone's jaw they won't know what hit them usually 6) Usually you will stun an untrained opponent after 2-3 connecting shots ,keep hitting them until the go down , once they are on the floor don't let them get back up , stomp them . 7) Learn how to kick to the groin , use this as a follow up to a stunning punch combo , a heavy weight can get enough power from their kicks to shatter someone's pelvis with a groin kick 8) Throw every punch with bad intention , every single punch you land should be thrown with lethal intent Source : too many bar fights and club fights to count , sentenced to 13 years in prison for manslaughter in 2001, never lost a fight in prison

I practice jkd/mma and was arguing about this with a "jkd instructor" online. He claimed that you don't need to learn how to fight in the clinch, or wrestle, or grapple, because like he said "I can poke their eye in all those positions". I tried to explain number one in most fights you don't have the legal right to just attack their eyes and potentially blind them, and that if you're on your back getting ground and pounded and you don't know how to Grapple, then you're not going to be able to do anything much less poke them in the eye. Someone who can grapple, can control the positions of a fight and be much more able to gouge, or poke the opponent's eyes. Self-defense oriented Mixed Martial Artists, should be aware and train for illegal techniques, biting, hair pulling, eye attacks. Understand that your opponent might do these things, or that some of them, used properly, could save your life. The more damaging often illegal techniques, are extremely effective in the hands of someone who can strike, grapple and wrestle, but they can't be relied upon alone; they are not a replacement for fighting, they are just part of it

Late to the party but I agree with you. People seem to forget that the streets have the law aka rules. Its why my kickboxing coach always said in his self defence classes, if you ever find yourself in a "violent altercation" for whatever reason, raise your hands with open palms not fists. Not because "palms are better than fists". But because if witnesses or cctv captures the incident, by law you have a higher chance of being confirmed as the victim thus supporting your case for any violence that occurs after in your defence. Hands up reinforces your position of going on the defensive or trying to negotiate or surrendering, etc.

💥As far as the Topic of the Video...I found it Very Interesting. I agree, Yes there are "Rules" 2 Any Type of Fighting. However, Rules Can be Bent or Broken. Outside the Ring as U stated are Serious Repercussions..Physically, Mentally, & Legally. The way I look at it...If one is to Engage in a "Street Fight", One Must Prepare Their Mind 4 Death. So B4 I would make the Decision 2 Engage, I Personally Would Look At it As tho it was my Final Battle. If ur Mind is Prepared 4 that, Than U Will Not Fear Nor Care of the Repercussions. So the Decision 2 Engage 4 Me Would Mean is This Battle Worth My Life. If NOT...I Will Avoid it At All Costs. But if it IS or The Agressor Will Not Stop & It is Pure Self Defense...Then I MUST Be Mentally Prepared 2 Die as a Consequence. Whether it be from the other Combatant, their Cronies, or Even the Authorities. So it's a Very Hard Very Serious Decision. JMHO😎🤙

So he Have martial arts training (and he, as i remeber it will point out traing that he felt were "wrong" but that would be stupid" he said to a person traing in a a specific drill, i might be wrong here i`m taking it from memory, "thats how the drill is made" seminars teacher respons answer don´t take my word for this i might have gotten it wrong (but this points to me that he thinks critically, and dont just buy into whatever he is teached). So to summerice "MY analyses of him is that he has trained alot of martial arts traing (Ive really would want to know he`s "base" system as i understand it it was i kind of "Karate" witch i never heard about earlry and they as I (with to my knowledge of diffrent karate systems, dónt teach, (but in my ground system trained in Iaido, witch is strangely),, they did if I "rembeber" did "Bokken" traning (wooden katana), it slipps my mind right now, but my instinct was at the time this cannot be right?

The thing a trained fighter has over a non trained fighter is experience with getting punched in the face, and superior cardio. Those two things give you a HUGE advantage.

[@amazed2341]

I’ve been training for a bareknuckle karate tournament and getting the mindset to punch someone full force barehanded (we mostly train with gloves and pads etc and light force) is really quite hard. I think doing a fighting sport does simply give you more control over your body and maybe that restraint can hinder your ability to inflict effective violence upon someone else but that’s probably for the best. I need to develop that fighting mindset that’s different to training and sparring without being mad or emotional etc like when I’ve gotten in “real fights” (one or two punches and maybe some grappling before getting broken up). Also Ramsey you have it backwards, the phalanx destroyed the chariots Lel, the chariots dominated the Bronze Age but after that the phalanx and Greek infantry tactics were dominant until the Roman legion system. Which was a huge time.

Glad these videos get recommended. I will tell my take too about people not understanding violence. When I was in college we got into rumble with some rival fraternity 10 of em 3 of us. I almost got hit by a broken beer bottle there. I managed to break the leaders lips by just holding onto his uniform and pulling his face into my fist but really most of the time I dunno what was going on, maybe they werw just all talk and no cojones they were never able to take us down and it helped that one of us was like 240 lbs lol. When one of my old classmates learned that he said he was very disappointed - you see he was a rival fraternity to these people who attacked us too. he said "You were a taekwondo champion (reached regional games) back in the day less than 5 years ago. You should have KILLED those guys" I was like bruhhh chill..even if I was a taekwondo champ or something,, its different and I was lucky I wasn't killed there being outnumbered. At that time I think I did not say that but now I think that since I meditated that maybe he did not understand what happens in real fights. BUT seriously,,what does he want me to do to "kill" these attackers? Throw some out of this world turning side kick hyper accurate to their carotid or femoral artery?

[@M_K-Bomb]

I will admit I heard a Reality-Based Self-Defense guy say about eye gauging. He commented someone wouldn't do it right against a BJJ guy to show that it works. The reason why, is because the person isn't a psycho. They wouldn't permanently blind someone in an eye just to prove a point. But, I would say if a BJJ guy can turn their head, chances are they can block that eye gauge. So a level of BJJ comes in useful.

[@hakachukai]

There are a LOT of rules on da streetz! First, the legal rules that Ramsey already mentioned ( they are different in every state, so you better learn yours ). In addition: Common sense. Don't go down dark alleys. Avoid high crime areas. Don't go places that aren't safe unless you have no other choice. Always be aware of your surroundings. Don't start fights. Don't talk trash. If someone insults you, just take it and walk away. Never fight unless you have to. Running away ( if possible ) is always the best option. If you get surrounded ( which you should never let happen in the first place ), do what you have to do to make an opening, then run for your life. Distraction, surprise and misdirection are your friends. They can buy you the valuable seconds that you need to either escape or to win the fight. Learn what weapons you can legally carry and train with them. Mentally prepare yourself for when you will and will not use them ( in detail ). Understand the laws pertaining to the situation. Sadly, prepare yourself for the gore and violence that comes with it. Because if you don't you will likely fail and get killed. Honestly you might get killed anyway... but at least you tried. Avoid the trouble in the first place if you can. That is just some of them. Just say'in... there are a LOT of rules on da streetz! Most of them pertain to avoiding trouble in the first place. A second large portion pertains to escaping trouble if you find yourself in it. The third tiny portion pertains to being deadly if you are very unlucky and have no other options left.

[@Savagewithaheart98]

I have an understanding of violence, not just from seeing it but because I have a deep understanding of evil, from personal experience, things I lose sleep over. That knowledge is also the reason why I am willing to take a life, if it comes down to self preservation, or protecting my family, or my coworkers, should some maniac come in the warehouse with the same intentions as a school shooter. Outside of self preservation, I’d rather avoid the conflict because, prison is a miserable place, and I don’t need the extra trauma. I committed my first offense in Florida and I barely dodged a five year prison sentence because it was a violent crime(Florida has a field day with violent offenders) You don’t get superpowers because the streets have no rules. In fact you’re at a greater disadvantage in the streets, because a trained fighter will incorporate the environment, or even weapons into the fight, on top of his training. People are so desperate to alleviate their insecurities that they’ll turn to delusions and use unnecessary aggression towards anyone they perceive to threaten said delusions.

[@unifedgongfu]

1. the law was made in order to abolish justice. 2. because of that, you have this chain: combat (really rare and usually rouge situation) -> combat under rules of war -> street fight under the law of self defense -> combat sports under sport rules under the law -> friendly sparing. so there are almost always rules and laws. however, many sports combatants, are now aware of the changes required for "self defense" and non sportive fights, and that is a responsibility of their trainer/teacher/coach, etc. so a trained person who is aware of street divergence from sport situation, can and should defiantly be effective. and I don't talk about the clowns who don't train anything but talking trash. 3. violence requires intention. highly focused intention for causing damage. 4. what you were talking about is the price of victory. people understand the price of losing, but forgetting that victory also comes with a price, and the most immediate is: blood, sweat, turmoil and tears. 5. the real threats on the street are not the thugs in front of you. but: A. the law B. revenge . these are the most dangerous consequences of violence, and later is PTSD.

He says “that’s what I would do, then I would use my body weight to my advantage or stomp them while they’re down” And I responded with “That’s not self defense, that’s assault and you’d go to jail, and if I were to hit back I would be legally justified 9 times out of 10”

Anyone can just "see red" and "fight dirty". It doesn't take anyone special to realize that as well as how hard the reality of violence sets in.

[@Jake9ization]

great video, but should be noted that the chariot is not what led to the decline of The hoplite phalanx. Warfare in the classical world has a long and complicated history, which can't be summarized in a short comment, but I'll try: Hoplite phalanx was a long relatively thin line of dudes with big round shields and 8' pointy sticks. Thebes and then Macedon evolved the phalanx to have deeper more mobile formations (with some infantry having increasing large pointy sticks and smaller shields). Romans developed even more mobile and flexible formations and started to become more reliant on throwing pointy sticks before they became increasingly reliant on calvary in the late classical period because stuff got a little cray cray in the 3rd century AD and the Romans learned that horse archers were deadly AF the hard way. Chariots stopped being very useful in war before the classical period and the aforementioned evolution of the phalanx.

The main problem is that when you are *ring fighting* you *BOTH* pre-eminently *aware* and *mentally prepared* that you both fighting each other. *You wear gloves* that actually minimize damage to the skull/head you hit (and body) and at the same time they protect your hands at big bone areas you hit of your opponent. This is huge. *Gloves such as boxing gloves protect the head.* *I have actually noticed the "horror" how street-fighting is and someone can actually DIE from a single punch to the head.* In street-fighting *there is no alarm if someone hits you on the chin.* For example you some Neo-greek beer belly boomer neighbour owns a big dog that reannoys you by rebarking and you go to intimidate him and confront him to order him to not re-annoy you again by re-leaving his big dog barking and you get caught-in-the-moment of talking or wording it or your emotions and he punches you before you finish your setence and boom. No warning. No alarm. You don't know what follows. You may be knocked out. You may survive and get mentally turned into a punching bag more or less since one punch disorients you and others continue. Your guard you shown is ridiculous without gloves *because you can't straightforwardly punch that way such as jab or cross, you have to "de-activate" the guard and mentality or mode and bring your hands again near your temples or chin to do combos. Ie it is awkward.* Plus you are not mentally conditioned or mentally prepared, you are there for altercation or make an assertive statement or advise to wear a muzzle to his dog. *Everyone has a plan until they get punched unalarmed on the face.*

Gloves protect the small fragile bones of the hands from breaking when under the extreme stress of a punch that would otherwise be too hard for a human hand to withstand without serious injury.

I logically doubt that because I watched these videos and their heads fall on concrete rather slow and not in fast *PLUCK!* speed. I can detect it with the eye that the force they fall isn't powerful enough. Plus... *why they get knocked out with 1 punch in the first place if gloves provide the option of generating more power?* You can't really condition your head in professional fights or amateur martial arts fights to sustain hits to the head, only about 20-25% I guess max.

Great video, coach. As for that question you posed at 8:08, I do think that not many people are willing to empty their firearms at anyone. It wouldn’t make legal, practical, or ethical sense because excessive use of force would be a factor in deciding whether or not the shooting can be justified as “self defense.” Also, most citizen-involved shootings typically end with the victim firing less than 6-7 rounds. There are exceptions to this principle, such as when the attacker is drugged or armored, but for the most part you don’t really hear about a person emptying all thirty rounds of a weapon with more than thirty rounds in the magazine all that often.

I have been in a street fight and never been in jail for it. But did I kick them in the groin, poke them in the eye, slap them in ears to bust their eardrums, or any vital areas. The answer is no. I didn't have to fight dirty to win my street fights. I think that the "no rules in a street fight" is a way saying anything can happen in a street fight vs sport fighting. But if you think about if you watch all these street fight videos how many do you see someone kick in the balls. I had to actually google how many fights had to been stopped there only been six fights had to be stop because of getting hit in the groin. That is not just in UFC. Two people who actually died getting hit in the groin. One was in Ohio killed someone during a robbery again google it. A 14 years old kid dies because his friend kicked him in the groin. Again you can google that as well. As Ramsey Dewey said we don't understand violence. Because there is many KZbin videos how to strike at the groin or how that striking a t the groin doesn't work. I had a buddy of mine did go to jail for beating up another kid. It really depends whether or not that child's parent pressed charges. Sport fighting is the best beat if you want to fight and not to get into trouble, especially if you can't prove or live in a state that don't have the law of stand your own ground. Which a lot of people get that law all wrong. The law falls under the castle doctrine law where you are able to defend yourself at your home, car, and your work. Where "self-defense" becomes a gray area when you are claiming to be self-defense and where that is missed translated. I was a kid when I fought some on the street, could I have gotten in trouble? Yes, of course I happened to be lucky not to have that on my record and looked at as a violent person. Do I regret fighting when in my mind I was defending myself, even though I was defending myself, but that would just be my word against the person who was attacking me. At the end we both became losers. Even though I won the fight I still lose because I hurt somebody, but if I didn't I would have been the one who gotten hurt it is a damn if you do damn if you don't. Life is funny that way, we live on and learn things and hopefully we keep on learning something new everyday.
