Man, I wish I started training MMA at 24... On the contrary, that's still fairly young. It's ok to start late, might never become a pro, but you will regret not starting when you weren't sure or "felt too old" - I started boxing at 32 and MMA at 33. It's the best thing ever.

[@dacedebeer2697]

As much as some of us might have a vocation for fighting, being a professional isn't necessarily the intention of training. Fighting is a tough profession, and if you can make money some other way it might be better for you. The toughest pros are not people that chose this out of their many opportunities. They were people that had no other choice, and the odds they beat to get where they got make winning a lottery seem easy. I train because I think it's really fun, because it forces me to push my limits, because it makes me understand my body better and gives me confidence. There are many reasons to train even if being a pro is far from your intentions.

[@kullenberg]

My favorite answer to this type of question: In ten years you'll be 34. By then you could have 10 years of MMA training if you start now. 10 years will pass whether you practice or not. It almost seems too obvious to even type out, but I think it's a great perspective to apply to any type of skill or activity you want to pursue.

[@metalkicker23]

I strarted at 21, Im 24 now, keep getting touted and pushed a prospect. Before my first fight I watched 4-5 Documentries on CTE. Now I train without sparring, just as a hobby and it was the best decision I could have made. It is SCARY how many people don't realise the head is never meant to be hit, not even light sparing, you build perm damage that leads into mental issues that are the hardest in the world to deal with. Idc how many people call me scared, I just value my brain more. I'm not taking the chance that this guy hits me the wrong way and I get concussed and then have to deal with depression and all this other stuff. Not many people talk about it, you can receive life long mental illness from a normal hard spar. Everyone's brain is different and it's not something ill put my brain on the line for.

[@jonathanadler6983]

Good answers. I disagree about MMA not being a 'style', I think it has evolved into a style as these days most fighters use a similar combination of boxing, jujitsu, muay thai etc. techniques.

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

They made into a style . It's like monopolizing fighting. What they did was dumb down the fighters in reality making them good at all. Styles not excellent at any. They're basically halfway there on all styles of fighting. This is why they will always go to whatever their strong point would be. If they started off as a wrestler they will go to that. If they started off as a striker they'll go to that. There is no true mixed martial artist. That died when the Greeks wearing slaved for over 500 years. The Romans are the first ones to stop the Greeks from practicing Pankration. Disconnected them from their art of fighting. All the gladiators in the arenas were Greek warriors fighting for their lives because they did not want to stop practicing this art of fighting. So they would rather die doing it. Eventually it ended through force.

[@RamseyDewey]

It doesn’t matter if you disagree, it’s objectively true. Just because you’re used to seeing guys with similar skill sets, doesn’t mean it’s a style. Look, a sumo wrestler could have an MMA fight with a guy who’s style is karate. They would both be MMA fighters at that point, both competing in the sport of MMA. They’re styles are not MMA. You and I could compete in an MMA fight, you wouldn’t have my style. I wouldn’t represent your style. You haven’t used my training methodology, I haven’t used yours.

[@konev13thebeast]

@RamseyDewey if its simply a ruleset, isnt a karate tournament simply a ruleset instead of a style? I could go into a karate tournament, use taekwondo and still win if Im better than my opponent.

[@dacedebeer2697]

An opinion I kind of developed over the years, though I certainly heard similar things to reach that thought, is that grappling is highly effective because it is very counter intuitive. Striking is very intuitive and anyone can strike and lash out with hands or feet, anyone getting struck can "cover up" instinctively. Even though their movement might be "incorrect" it won't be altogether ineffective. Grappling on the other hand is the opposite in the way that your instincts tell you to do the wrong thing all the time, you push them away giving them your arm, you try to escape and give them your back. The correct thing is so complex and the details make so much difference. Taking anyone that doesn't grapple into grappling is like taking someone that doesn't swim and throwing them into the deep end of the pool. *edit a word

[@robcubed9557]

I disagree with Ramsey's answer to whether or not there is an ideal workout for MMA. Here is the optimal training regimen for MMA: Every day do 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 bodyweight squats, and a 10 km run. Make sure to eat 3 meals per day, although a large breakfast isn't necessary. Oftentimes a banana will suffice for breakfast. Don't use heating or air-conditioning when sleeping. This will build resiliency to extremes of weather. If this regimen is followed then the user will gain the ability to defeat opponents with a single punch. One side-effect of this regimen is that there is an association with allopecia.

I train 10-11 hours a week on top of working a physical job as an Ironworker. 5-6 hours in the gym: weight training, endurance, and some cardio; and 4-5 hours a week in Gracie Jiu-jitsu. My goals are 1. Fitness 2. Hobbyist 3. Fighting/self defense 1. If u had a choice between 2 of 3, grappling (GJJ), weight training (gym), and striking what would u do? 2. At 41, I keep getting injured doing weight training which puts me out of commission for weeks, at times. Should I switch to light weight/high reps and focus on martial arts more or ditch the weight training all together in favor of taking up a striking art?

If you are constantly getting hurt lifting, you are either lifting wrong or not healing up enough after each injury (most likely both) . With that mindset you will get hurt doing striking sports too.

[@opfor5593]

About the belly question, having a few extra pounds isn't that much of a disadvantage and not having to cut can keep your strength up. Smaller guys who have to cut weight cant afford to have much body fat because every pound of body fat they have is one less pound of muscle they could have. Most heavyweights are nowhere near the limit, most guys at every other weight class have to cut to exactly the limit.

[@KhonsurasBalancedWaytoWellness]

I enjoyed watching this and appreciate your honest response and analysis. I do a modified form of Wing Chun and BaGua that places a lot of emphasis on physical conditioning, footwork and positioning change angles for strikes and to avoid as much as possible being put on the ground. How much do you think that foot work and repositioning plays into the outcome of a fight? Enjoy your channel.

[@RamseyDewey]

Footwork/position is simply put, the most important aspect of standup fighting. You’ll know this from Bagua Zhang training- that making 90 degree angles relative to your opponent is key to setting up an attack with a high success percentage. Just like you would know from wing chun that successfully attacking directly from the front down the center line requires a highly specialized handfighting skill set that most people don’t have. But yeah. I’m about to upload a video on a simple footwork and framing pattern that (hopefully) teaches this principle. Once you understand the principle of correctly changing your own position relative to the other guy so you can flank him and move past his guard, all martial arts start making a lot more sense.

[@KhonsurasBalancedWaytoWellness]

@@RamseyDewey Thank you coach for that response and I look forward to the video. One of the most frustrating patterns I see in the videos where practitioners get plummeted is poor foot work and lack of timing and an angle change. The same thing with the tai chi practitioners who obviously seem stuck on the internal version of it instead of the external or combat version. Again, it takes years to go from an internal form to external with regard to TaiChi. So it seems stupid to me to challenge another external combat art at that level. BaGua could have the same issue but at least you have the foot work that you can use if not the hidden sweeps, throws and locks, which again takes long dedication, and should not be used against another unless you put the time in to the train it, integrate it and pressure develop it. I’m wondering if the same thing could be said about a Aikido but then I don’t know enough or have seen any high-level practitioners who have gone beyond the internals, mystical ideas and theories to Martial practice and combat. One of the biggest complaints of my Sifu when he sees us sparring is that no one is sidestepping, or changing the angles enough and after seeing so many videos of Wing Chun practitioners, get plummeted, I see why. And he often reminds us that foot work is 80% of the outcome of a fight. Those videos are a terrible representation of the potential of Wing Chun Chung and martial arts in general because of this linear foot work and attempted use of internal energy (Chi, Qi, Ki whatever). I mean you can reposition or carry your centerline with you 😂. Isn’t this why Bruce Lee loved boxing for workfoot work?

[@nathantheophilus4856]

@@KhonsurasBalancedWaytoWellness all good points but the best way to not get wrestled is to wrestle/grapple. Boxers with great footwork and angle change but no sprawl get taken down anyway. Footwork is part of a layered defense in grappling the same way it is in striking

@@RamseyDewey hello I’m yousef from Kuwait I’m been watching your video since 2019 I think. You have encouraged me to practice martial arts and I’m very thankful to you Ramsey for that. First: For years I was out of shape but I loved martial arts and martial arts movies or I’m kind of a martial arts nerd. Luckily I found a good fitness/MMA coach for me this year basically he’s teaching me Fullbody weightlifting, cardio, jeet June do (shadow boxing and hitting the punching bag), Judo( most my training is with judo dummy which is more fun than weightlifting) and Kali (just with sticks)and basic free running. Two days fullbody weightlifting, two cardio and two days fighting/free running. I’ve been training with him since November where I have lost so many weights and became in shape…Basically I don’t want to hurt people but I just want to practice the moves it was really fun even though I’m practicing jeet June do but my goal is not to be like Bruce lee but to be like Jackie Chan I alway like to be like Jackie since I was kid. Growing up my martial arts Icon is Jackie Chan, John wick, khabib, Michael Jai White, mike Tyson…you as a professional coach what do you think of my current progresses. Second: It’s a small request but can you do a video of bartitsu, it’s a silly arts but for some reason it caught my interest and I found it to be very fascinating, I would really like people to talk about it for some reason, the art itself contains three from Japanese jujitsu, Judo French Savate, boxing, Schwingen( German wrestling) Canne de combat ( French fencing) this itself it’s a big influence to mix martial arts it was kind of weird that the art of bartitsu made in the victorian era where later it died of obscurity and later was revived in the UK the early 2000s, that was kind of a coincidence that the media portrayal of this arts is the art of Sherlock Holmes or the art of a English Victorian gentleman 😂 this itself it’s kind of a hilarious and a fun point. It’s creator Edward William Barton-Wright is an interesting person he did not handle the arts very well that lead towards downfall. Third: Kajukenbo is a good art it’s kind of weird that Hollywood, ufc and the media didn’t recognize this art that much where in Kuwait Kajukenbo is very popular. Basically all popular martial arts in the world are available in kuwait what shocked me is that within the most popular martial arts in Kuwait Kajukenbo is probably in the top 8 most practice martial arts in the Country next to kyokushin karate, shotokan karate, Taekwondo, BJJ, (Maui Thai) kickboxing, judo and MMA. we don’t have Krav Maga so Kajukenbo is taking its place in Kuwait. In Kuwait Kajukenbo is more popular than Jeet kune do, wing chun, kali, wushu, aikido, boxing, judo, fencing, wrestling, systema, kendo, traditional Japanese jujitsu, Capoeira, Hapukido Any way wish you all the luck coach👍

What works in MMA that doesn't work in a street fight is tapping. You can't tap out. There's no ref to save you. That's why those that fight in the street have a little bit more balls than the ones that fight in the ring. These are the facts. I do consider myself a street fighter because all the serious fights that I've had are in the streets I've gotten jumped many times. That is a real fight for your life. Now in the cage you are still in trouble because your opponent is way more skilled than any street fighter can be unless they're a professional fighting in the streets.

You are not a "street fighter" you sound dumb saying this you have fought assulters in the street maybe but even then why are you getting into a life or death situation where your gambling you life away in a petty squabble? A real life situation in a street related incident was Kyle Rittenhouse (may have misspelled his name) thats more realistic then anything you have ever been in.

You're kinda wrong about MMA not being a style. It has a name, a methodology, a culture, a recognizable fighting style. Go to a hundred combat sports gyms and you'll see how the MMA gyms as just as similar to each other as the BJJ gyms are to other BJJ gyms. We all know the same lingo, we all know about 100 or so of the same basic moves (out of thousands). We absolutely share much more in common with any other MMA practitioner than we do with any practitioner of any other martial art or combat sport. You saying "its not a style, its a rulset" is like saying "violet is not a color, it's a flower". You even allude to it being a style when you answer "which styles are the best for MMA". Your answer was basically "you can crosstrain in ither styles, but mostly you must focus on the style of MMA" - which in itself is basically the methodology that every MMA practitioner uses.

[@RamseyDewey]

No, I said “focus on the sport of MMA” not the “style of MMA”. I hate being misquoted

@@RamseyDewey My apologies, I meant to imply that your were "basically" saying that, as in the two words were perfectly interchangeable in context. Btw, you're DEFINITELY not wrong when you say you can make anything work if your bases are covered. I did MMA sparring with a pro fighter with a black belt in BJJ and an "unorthodox" striking style. He employs a Karate stance with a Wing Chun guard. I figured if I kept it on the feet I had a chance... but no. Even on the feet, with his weird style, he pieced me up any way he wanted to.

[@JunkCCCP]

Dunmer - Krav Maga

[@RamseyDewey]

The Redguards are the MMA fighters of the Elder Scrolls universe. They’re well rounded in all combat abilities and athletics, no glaring weaknesses, but no standout specialties. The Nords are wrestlers. Strong, fierce, and they don’t mess around with fancy magic like Muay Thai and BJJ. The Imperials are those gym bros who talk about UFC all the time, but they don’t train that much, if at all. They’re always using their “voice of the emperor” power to talk a big game. The Khajit do some kind of esoteric Asian martial art where they jump around a lot, since they have the highest acrobatics skill. Some of them can fight for real, but then there are Khajit like M’aiq the Liar who writes check with his mouth that his body can’t cash, but his stories are entertaining nonetheless. The High Elves do 10th planet jiu-jitsu… because they’re high elves, man. Look into it. The Bosmer, aka, the Wood Elves do ninjitsu. They mostly sneak around the forrest LARPing, but they practice ranged weapons because they know they’d get their butts kicked in a hand to hand fight. The Dark Elves/Dunmer are every traditional martial artist that rants and raves about the lineage of their style and who they got their black belt from since they worship their ancestors. The Argonians/lizard people are the underprivileged boxers of Tamriel. They had a rough life, so boxing was their way out. People underestimate them because of their limitations, but when the Oblivion crisis happened, the Lizards were the only ones who invaded Oblivion itself. To paraphrase Mike Tyson: “they were like Sonny Liston, like Jack Dempsey. The lizard people are from their cloth. There’s no one like the Argonians. Their style is impetuous. Their defense is impregnable. They want Mehrunes Dagon’s heart. They’ll eat his children. Praise the Hist!” The Orcs/Orsimer are like those reality based self defense guys who wear camouflage pants and tactical vest. They look tough, and they have a good sales pitch, but at the end of the day, they’re not really any tougher than the other guys. And finally, the mysterious Dwemer/Dwarves, are all the missing BJJ blue belts that magically disappear after getting promoted.

[@discofoot6443]

@@RamseyDewey great analysis! I totally agree that Nords would be straight wrestlers. But I think I just about started laughing at the High Elves being 10th Planet. High Elves means High Rollers for sure. As for the Bosmer, that one was really good. I do agree about the Redguards too. I do believe martial arts is mentioned in their lore.

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

I will answer the question about the Spartan warrior. Number one the Spartan warriors were trained by the Minoans as the Minoans trained the planet. Now the Minoans were the first ones that were gifted by the gods to have technical striking acrobatic striking. The first place were karate was invented. Grappling and submissions. Years later the Japanese have claimed this Fighting art cold karate which is the same name of the island the Minoans come from. Now back to the Spartans and the Greeks mainly The Minoans. They were the most experienced fighters that have ever existed on this planet. We have not even spent a fraction of the time they had to learn how to fight. We would need around 100,000 years of training to become equal to the ability and the skill that the Greeks possessed. The greatest fighters that have ever existed on this planet where the Greeks. A greeting sample is myself. I have never lost a fight in my life. Have destroyed men that are twice my size. We are programmed by the gods and gifted with the ability to surpass any knuckle dragging Neanderthals. That's why all Greeks were considered demigods and were treated like gods wherever they went.

[@dryaldibread2327]

Dear Ramsey, I was wondering if you could make a tierlist video where you rank the effectiveness of different martial arts styles in MMA. As you said in this video, one martial art won't cut it in MMA, but it is possible to make a tier list about it. Kickboxing for example is, in my opinion, a lot more effective than kung fu. Greeting, Thomas.

[@jw-nz2vx]

The answer to this question is generally the same. Styles with live training (meaning training/sparring with a partner who is resisting and trying to attack you in a free form way within a given ruleset) are the ones that are most often successful: Boxing Full contact kickboxing (K1, American, Muay Thai, Lethwei, Sanda, Savate, Dutch, Seidokaikan, etc) Competitive grappling (Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, sport Sambo, luta livre, freestyle, American folkstyle, Greco-Roman, sumo, catch wrestling, etc) Live training is key. If you want to learn to fight you have to pick something that approximates fighting, or at least one aspect of it, in a realistic way. Not just doing abstract movements in the air (kata, wushu, pumsae), not stopping after every successful attack like in point fighting, not pulling your punches, not just doing one-step or three step drills, not wearing an absurd amount of protective gear. Trying to really punch and kick each other, trying to really submit or choke each other, trying to really throw or take each other down, trying to really pin each other. But the thing about mixed martial arts is... you mix the martial arts. The fighters who are worth a salt are training in at least one style of competitive grappling, boxing, and at least one style of kickboxing. If you're only great at Jiu-Jitsu but your opponent is great at boxing AND Jiu-Jitsu, chances are you're getting punched in the face really hard. And the reverse is also true; if you are only great at boxing but your opponent knows Jiu-Jitsu AND has some boxing skill, you're almost definitely getting taken to the ground and choked/tapped out.

It’s ironic that the standing 8 count, and, I would suggest, the larger, more padded gloves, that make boxing more dangerous to your long term health. Both of them make it kinda safer in the short run, but a consequence is that over a career, fighters receive considerably more, and harder, head blows

[@SuperMacik1]

@@RamseyDewey I always said the same about the helmets/shoulder pads in American football. The CTE is caused by the collision of helmets. Every hit rattles your brain. Feels a lot like being punched with boxing gloves actually. The injuries we experienced playing tackle football with no pads were mainly leg, arm/shoulder or minor scrapes and scratches. The same kids playing with pads? All of the sudden we had concussions and kids getting knocked out cold alongside the arm and leg injuries. It changes the way you tackle, the way you break tackles, limits your ability to protect yourself (peripheral vision) and gives you a false sense of security. I think it would be a safer sport with minimal padding and no helmets. I’m also willing to admit I’m completely wrong if I am, this is just from my personal experience.
