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.

I've arrested hundreds of people over years of hands on loss prevention plus bouncing, did years of submission wrestling and kickboxing, AND I don't know how to fight because I've never been in a professional fight. I'm amazing at closing the distance and then putting someone to sleep or holding them until the cops come, but I've never entered a tournament with equal skilled people so I've never really tested my skills. I have no problem admitting that, and I often tell people I work with "I don't like violence."

[@RamseyDewey]

That is a very interesting perspective. I’ve spoken to a lot of former bouncers who have done nothing but push drunk guys half their size around and because of that think they know how to handle themselves in every situation. It’s very cool to hear from a guy with a substantial amount of experience in similar situations who realizes his limitations. That’s very smart, and probably why you succeeded where you did to the degree that you did. An evenly matches opponent doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it’s honestly one of the hardest things anyone will ever do combatively. Someone worse? Meh, you’ll toy with them. Someone better? Meh, they’ll beat you, not much to say about that. But someone who is your equal? Oh boy. Now that is a real fight and a real test of wills.

[@YoYoKryptonite]

Fun fact: almost the entirety of ancient martial arts were weapons based martial arts. China is big and in ancient China, the wealthy and merchants would hire guards to travel with, as bandit raids were a thing and raiding a wealthy traveler or merchant could be fruitful for bandits. Many of these guards, especially those coming from highly regarded families that have been guards for generations, have been in actual lethal combat. So I'm willing to wager that the arts known by these families were indeed "deadly lethal killing systems". Same could be said about the arts known by renown warriors throughout history. I love mma and practice mma and idk about u guys, but there ain't no way I'd fight against someone who's been in lethal combat with weapons no matter how skilled I've become at modern martial arts

[@florinivan6907]

Once you introduce weapons to a fight the thing changes by default even if your opponent is unskilled. Weapons are by default designed to eliminate you. Doesn't mean they'll win but a weapon is always an advantage. There's also an inevitable difference between competitions and actual fights. In a competition you usually don't seek victory in the first 5 seconds. In a fight its gotta be quick. You can't call a time out or anything. Old style martial arts were probably focused on quick results. This isn't automatically good since stamina in a prolonged fight might actually be better for someone used to a competition style fight. But you gotta actually find a way to have a prolonged fight and wear down an opponent.

[@anacc7077]

Well, modern martial arts have changed due to having being adapted to sports. That's the real problem. Weapons are weapons, ofc they're lethal, but when we're talking about bare hands combat martial arts were way more effective back then because they were studied to hit hard, not to score points and, most of all, not in a controlled environment. My opinion is: martial arts are effective, but have to be used the proper way. Most of those "do boxe, MMA is the real thing!" dudes don't realize that those useless ancient martial arts are literally blended in every style they use in those fights. If you do 50 karate katas per day you'll take one boxing punch in the face and fall down, but if you practice your martial art kick 100 times a day you'll kick the sh*t out of anyone who gives you the occasion to do so. And the same applies to boxe punches. That's it.

Well, yes. Going unarmed with MMA against a trained killer with a weapon is automatically a game changer.

[@Magneticitist]

When I really think about it this deadly grappling stuff becoming the "how to actually fight" motto is kind of what leads me to just thinking I'd rather shoot anyway. It's funny because it's not easy to put into words. Getting knocked out by some dude in a street fight I wanted to be a part of is obviously not something I'd want to happen, but I could deal with it. If this dude is trying to put me in a sleeper or break a limb etc, something about that for me is just like nah that's another level right there. That's someone turning a fist fight into some kind of life or death situation. So then if all fights are treated as life or death situations I might as well not even try to fight then. That sounds like close range action for suckers.

Hello ramsey! I wrote you a comment, almost 2 years ago i think, asking how to spar in my taekwondo class. I was a yellow belt. I said some collegues were very weak and small (children) and the others were way bigger and better fighters than me. And you made a 5 minute video saying i should spar with everyone. Learn from the good ones, try stuff on the weaker ones. I took that advice and i got way better!! Im now a blue belt. I sparred a lot more (not as often as i would have liked, its still a taekwondo gym). I enjoy It a lot. Im still a weak fighter, but the the weaker collegues look up to me and the stronger ones dont need to hold back not to hurt me anymore!! I tried a competition. It was crushed. But i had a lot of fun. Thank you for you advice. Its been great to have you in mind in my martial arts hobby

He was making fun of traditional ma practitioners that insist they are "training for the street" and their magical art... Which they've never used against a resisting opponent... Is somehow better, while "sports" like MMA, BJJ, or even boxing don't teach you how to "SURVIVE THE STREETS!" Don't get all defensive over that, lol, I promise that a person that trains JUST BJJ will have a huge advantage over an untrained person "on the streets." I know this because I have a 20 year career "on the streets" and trained, used, and taught BJJ for others... Does that mean there aren't people that could whip my ass? Of course not. But we're talking odds here, and the odds of me getting beat up by a random person "on the streets" are astronomically low.

I can tell from people who always assume they can beat people.

The tougher I got throught thew years the more I expected random people to know how to fight... But I got very non confrontational the tougher I got.

[@patheddles4004]

I'm very much of the opinion that street fights don't have winners. I did have to intervene in a violent confrontation a few months ago, but my approach was 100% nonviolent de-escalation. My solution: be big, be calm, be physically in the way, and incidentally also be silent (didn't plan that bit). I was consciously taking a risk, but it worked out perfectly: perpetrators in police custody, no harm to me, and no further harm to anyone else (including the perpetrators). And there is no way that situation would have turned out well if I'd gone in with violence, even if I did know how to fight (which I do not). And hey, kept things super straightforward for the police when they arrived.

[@brianmeen2158]

Plus the more ability you have to fight the less you want to risk getting in a street fight. It’s just a very counter productive thing to do(unless it’s in a self defense situation)

[@angelsjoker8190]

I have the same. It's because the more you train, the more the people of reference around you know how to fight. So it become a perceived normality that "everybody" knows how to fight. When I was in my teens my martial arts gym had some of the best Judoka in the country (several national champs, one world championship participant), and for me, even though I was not on their level, it was just normal to train with these people and I thought every Judo place was like that. That this is not the normal case, I only found out years later after a very long Judo break when I restarted, and I realized my mere green belt from back then had given me enough Judo skills and grit to be on par with some black belts in a more recreational and a much less ambitious Judo school. (At a somewhat advanced age, I appreciate the more relaxed approach now and not getting mauled by those Juggernauts from back in the days though 😂)

[@andrewcain6518]

Thanks Ramsey that was really funny. I honestly don't think I fall into any of those 22 categories but you are quite right - I don't know how to fight!

[@bobbie4862]

This is the most necessary video you have ever made.

[@fredparkinson1289]

Ramsey, here's a fun story from somebody that doesn't know how to fight. Years ago I was studying Kenpo karate. One evening I was waiting at a bus stop when a young lady started talking to me. She had on an army jacket, fashionable at the time. A man came up and started to berate her for the jacket, when I commented that it was OK for her to wear it. Without any warning he turned toward me in one motion and punched me in the head. It wasn't much of a punch and only knocked off my glasses, and the lady immediately ran away. Since the man made no further motion toward me, I simply shrugged, picked up my glasses and walked to the next bus stop. Later when I told this story to a friend that knew I had trained in karate he said 'why didn't you pound him?'. I answered 'Are you kidding? He was like a guru to me! In 2 seconds he taught me more about paying attention than I learned from 3 years at the dojo!'.

"Number 23: You tell me you don't know how to fight" I once had a guest come to the gym i was sparring at. He was there to see what kind of training we do but the instructor just thought he was someone from the regular class who'd just been recovering or been taking a break. He asked to go with me first and asked me to take it easy because he doesn't know how to fight. He said it so calmly and confidently that i thought he was just taking a piss at me. I asked him to go light with me since we haven't sparred before and i don't know him. The dude just said he "doesn't know what that means". I froze then and there thinking i'm about to have my teeth kicked in. Luckily once the clock beeped for the timer to start he very quickly and very clearly looked like he did in fact not know what he was doing... ...and i felt like an idiot 😅

Not knowing how to fight is also relative to how trained the person you are fighting is, so this changes in every situation.

[@patheddles4004]

And of course if you're going to fight in an uncontrolled environment, then their level of training is a somplete unknown to you until after it's too late for you to back out.

[@UrbanDefenseSystems]

Pretty much. Compared to an actual high level athlete, a gym warrior would look like a dude from the street.

[@General_Kenobi_212]

or how drugged up they are....just look at that home invasion story with Anthony Smith, dude said it was the hardest fight of his life, and think about the absolute beasts this man has fought in the cage to compare that to

[@RipleyEll]

Also, even though I have done martial arts most of my life, and always would seek out people better than me so I was always growing, has taught me a important lesson..... Never gamble your martial arts ability to save the life of your loved ones against dangerous people, get a firearm. I cant count the amount of times I have been unsuspectingly beaten by a better fighter who I thought for sure I could beat.

[@ArsBellorum]

@@patheddles4004 In uncontrolled environments(As in a serious competition, but for different causes) you always sink to your base level of training. This is why drilling and repetition are so important.

[@DeeBeeScribe]

This is factual. Most martial artists have trouble dealing with good boxing.

[@justinfreeman4614]

I think hands are vital but I did do surprisingly well sparring a pro boxer by kicking his legs. I think being kickboxing prime vs boxing prime is viable. Now if he wanted to whoop me I'm sure he could have. I was just wacking him enough that it wasn't worth it. He just dropped by my MMA gym because he knew my coach - he visited occasionally en route to fights in southern FL.

[@tearsintherain6311]

It depends most boxers let you low kick their thighs for free you just gotta stay away from their punching range

[@lycanthropegaming3432]

​@@DeeBeeScribeboxing is a martial art too lol. But you're right. Your average joe martial artist usually has bad hands and 0 head movement.

[@joehammond9946]

I had good kicks at one point and I really worked on my hands. My friends would ask me why would I do that if I could kick so well because they wouldn’t. I didn’t really have a good explanation at the time. Thinking back I think I just knew there’s going to be times I can’t kick someone in the head and I didn’t want drastic holes in my style. Edit: Bear in mind I was like twelve at the time 😂 I wasn’t like 22 not understanding basic fight concepts

#6 with the breathing is something I have always struggled with since I started training in the 80s. I've only been in one confrontation since I started training in 1986. Once back in the 90s. my wife's grandmother who was in her 60s, and had a history of physical violence tried to stab me in the stomach with a kitchen knife. She used the basic thrust that people say no one ever does, and I used the basic wrist lock that people say would never work on "Da Streetz". The hardest part is what no one teaches you, and I had to apply on the fly, which was disarming an old lady without damaging her wrist. All those years of drills came into play. Not to defend myself, but to be calm enough to keep in mind that I could not injure her no matter what she tried to do to me. What's a trip is not one member of her family asked me about it, not even once. I was expecting some kind of '"What did you do????", but there wasn't one word. I asked my wife about it a few months later, and she just said they already knew crazy she was.

[@kevinlobos5519]

That sucks man, bizarrely enough, I was attacked by an elderly man myself, for sticking up for my dogs when walking them in my neighborhood. Also managed to handle the attack with 0 harm to both of us (or my doggies). Definitely, no one and nothing prepares you for the scenario of physically and safely handling a violent elderly person.

[@Colinlingle]

Oh yeah breathing is important. Our instructor would have us breathe every time we threw a strike or applied a technique. Basically just like in the Kiai in karate, but we didn't yell. Just exhaled, like we were trying to fog a mirror.

[@vgman94]

That last part is wonderful. The fact that no one made you feel like you had to answer to them means you had nothing to worry about for defending yourself. What a relief to read that.

Ancient martial arts used steel/metal weapons. A lot of kung fu stances were for handling weapons. A lot of the ancient weapon moves have been modified for grappling or unarmed striking Purposes. So a lot of ancient moves were used for spears , swords, bows and arrows, sabers, daggers, and axes.

To be fair, I think the point is it should be. Since the 2 terms got associated with different groups and "pressure testing" is presumably used to be more easily understood by someone with no prior knowledge, that's why it makes the list.

That's why I stopped going to bars years ago, to avoid accidentally hurting bullies wanting to pick a fight..!! It got to the point where I'd feel them out by asking if they wanna wrastle.....!!!!! LOL..!! Then I'd take a stance and start warning them of exactly what joints I was going to dislocate..!! Ah...!! The good old days..!! LOL..!! Absolutely fantastic video Ramsey..!!
