[@GarrettGinner]

Such a well put together video. Super entertaining to watch. I wanna do Jiu Jitsu now

[@daledecker]

Thanks Garrett ❤️

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

I'm with you dude. I started skating at 14 and started Tae Kwon Do at 15, and I'm still dedicated to the skating and training. (I have my 4th Dan Blackbelt, and I'm 4 years younger than Tony Hawk, so - math). The full body strength and flexibility training, faster fluid movements, help with focus and a basic clear state of mind, and most importantly full body spacial awareness absolutely impacts so many things, skating being one of them. I always have your channel notifications on. Epic content. Keep doing what you do 👍‼️

[@ynrayklooficialzika]

i did jiu jitsu from 13-14 and now at 14 2 months ago i started skating. crazy how i always naturally roll on my shoulders when i fall, its so sudden and i dont even use strength for it, and my ollie is already knee length with just 2 months

[@Electro_Dude]

completely off topic but bro the Cumbia music just hits

[@daledecker]

I thought so too

[@amaizel]

As a BJJ black belt and a long time follower, I’m super stoked to see a video like this! People fail to realize that the benefits of training martial arts go way beyond self-defense.

[@CodySmith.]

I'm a wrestler track and field runner, and play trumpet and saxophone and I can name every reason it helps me skateboard. Wrestling is endurance and finding which movements are best. track and field strength and in a way helps out when getting speed for pushing and pumping. saxophone and trumpet, breathing and always staying in a field of focus. Thanks for making this video It means a lot to hear people trying new things to push them even farther in other things. Keep up the good work and content I'm sure many individuals appreciate the work you've put in.

[@fractalourpiece7983]

Been skate for 25 years, rolling BJJ for 3 months… tonight was the first practice where I thought “damn I could be out skating right now..” ankle locks suck for the skater soul, needed this video to help me put it behind me and chalk it up as a necessary day of training as now I know how to defend them better and might have even stretched some scar tissue that needed it. Have already thought skating is more of a martial art than a sport anyways, it’s a battle against yourself and your environment

[@JJgeetarisst]

Getting older sucks in a lot of ways but, as you’ve shown in this video, it can also be really rad too.

[@ZackDowdy]

Great video! Doing things outside of skateboarding helps that fresh mindset.

[@LevelUpDaily434]

Working out definitely makes an enormous difference for skating, I was thinking I should try something similar to this since I do have many work out routines already. I use skating as a work out too, love it and I use the drilling approach for certain tricks too it does for sure work. Don't even have to think about certain ones an I only been skating for a lil over 6 months.

[@himebaughchris4026]

How skateboarding made me run scaffold decking with Aluma-Beams for concrete high rise building floors better. No lie. Keep getting it, Dale.

[@WhatisReal11]

normalize weight training for skaters. It makes a dramatic different. Pop literally becomes easier. Skating is so asymmetrical, can cause uneven development of strengthen. Stuff thats outside of skating that trains entire body in even way helps with this. helps break previes bad habits cooked into muscles.

[@johnnymayberry6925]

That cauliflower ear looks great bud I’m happy to see your journey

[@mildewmountainshoe1385]

Awesome man. Would love to see more jiu jitsu videos. I’ve been skating since second grade on and off. I starting training jiu jitsu about 6 months ago. Would love to hear about beginning tips etc. thanks

[@sneaky_eclipse]

such a great video man. feels like your heart is genuinely in it. hope to see more content from you like this in the future!! much love dale

[@cicerojones9248]

Nice Dale! Rock on dude!

[@daledecker]

❤️

[@callun_contendunt]

much prefer videos like this! I find shit like this so interesting, more please!

[@romanquick728]

I’ve been doing climbing for almost 2 years and recently started yoga and it has significantly improved my skating

[@mikemulrooney4574]

Pumped when ever you post Dale!!!your a badass mo fo🤘🏻

[@josiah.forestieri]

Loved this video Dale. Super Insightful. I think its real cool that you can love and do 2 really different things, but they both help you be better at the other. Keep killing it G!

[@jeffspalding5368]

I grew up doing BJJ from 4-12, I started skating @ 11. I Ollie my first day on a board and kickfliping shortly after.

[@samuelanderson9416]

I just started skating and I came to the realization that I want to get back into martial arts to become a better skater

[@sonnyquintana9835]

GOAT

[@daledecker]

🙏🏻❤️

[@skatedama]

Very stoked to see an upload from you bro!

[@briantorres99]

This was sick!!

[@daledecker]

Thanks!

[@id0083]

you were the first skate channel i was introduced to first videoi watched was you with the powell team i was amazed because at the time i was getting more into skating i then kept watching your channel and these videos discussing your personal experience with skating with life influenced me into doing what i want to do more and made me want to get better at skating nice vid

[@sgrimm8683]

Probably the most valuable, unique and inspiring skate video on KZbin... Do this more! Your great at explaining things especially when it comes to perspectives, more videos about skating through your human lens

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

Liking, commenting and loving the video! Hoping the best for you my dude!

[@isidroantonio1522]

proud of you man 💪🏼

[@AlcindorProductions]

I appreciate the different angle you brought to these clips I saw in John’s video! Keep killing it

[@GuillermoArenas2023]

Get it Dale 😎💯🛹🤙

[@Erick1340]

Love hearing about the things that are making your life better and overall skating better. Very insightful and inspiring.

[@halii_can]

love you dale❤️❤️

[@menta1case182]

Sick vid. Sick Pain of Truth hat.

[@Ernie_Creates]

This was a good video bro. Thank you for making this. I hope the algorithm picks you!

[@Seanfagan__]

sick video!

[@daledecker]

Thank you!

[@adrienrodriguez250]

Loved the video Dale. ❤

[@daledecker]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@DanielCADtutor]

Excellent video! Yeah man, awesome! I’ve done lots of karate growing up all while skating in the same time and I recognize the benefits! Very similar to your story 👍

[@ChadBillAnderson]

I have noticed in your recent videos that your skating has been getting more and more rad. Love to see it

[@danielleclair1360]

Yo man, you are a sick skater. I also like hxc, skating and jitz. I noticed you do alot of gi. There is alot of correlations between jitz and skating forsure. Some other food for thought. Skateboarding/Grappling. Skateboarding/Grappling Styles. Vert = Judo Street = Jiu Jitsu Freestyle/Flatland = Wrestling If you mix up skating styles(Eg. Andy Anderson)like youd mix up grappling styles(eg. Travis Stevens) you might not be a master of one style but youd be hella well rounded and have alot of tools in your toolbag. Great vid dude.

[@scottgajewski3925]

Its awesome to see you wearing hardcore shirts...i dont see alot of skateboarders into hardcore...well on youtube atleast. Im from CT, a couple recommendations from bands from my state...im sure you akready knoow hatebreed but check out 100 demons and death threat if you havent. Keep up the grind bro i love you videos

[@daledecker]

Dude I saw 100 demons at THIC in 2012 and it was insane.

[@scottgajewski3925]

​@@daledecker awesome! Definitely check out death threat. Did you go to sound and fury this year? Sooo many good bands. It blows me away how many good young bands there are. I'm 45 and have been into this music for along time so to see it so alive and well is awesome

[@BadChizzle]

Go Dale! Thanks for the video!!

[@justinollis34]

I want to laugh at the all serious Jiu jitsu pose on the thumbnail but I'm afraid you might beat me up 😅. 🎶on god when i see Dale Decker Ima beateem up 🎶

[@daledecker]

I mean you can laugh it’s thumbnail

[@DanielIvan707]

Cool video man. I grew up skating and now do BJJ. I haven’t touched my board in years. Now I’m wondering if I would skate different. I’m in really good shape, I’m gonna give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@qahiko_]

i feel like growing up on soccer has definitely made skating easier just in the slightest ways tho

[@planelover6957]

Your hc gear is sick

[@pinkselfeletric]

loved this

[@izHyDra]

Love what you said about bending the knees. I just got from a skate sesh where I expected to see a certain progression after strength training and dynamic stretches for some time. Just before watching this, I was trying to get the mental feeling of what I was doing earlier, and I realized I just didn't bend my knees. So many leg days focusing on bending the knees, but I didn't do it today, I didn't feel sturdy. But I'll do it better next time. Great video man, love the content and agreed about the drilling.

[@Michael-dn7jx]

jo love ur vids, keep it up dude

[@swazzmajik5889]

Thank you so much dale I needed this 🥂🥂🍾 my goat 🫂 beautiful viddddd

[@noelruthven]

Amazing vid man, Can't give enough props to martial arts and the overall better feeling they give you

[@_jay_dubya]

Good stuff Dale! It's an amazing feeling seeing results in skating from other activities. For me it was just yoga and strength training. More importantly, actually committing to do those routines consistently! Obviously the physical effects were noticeable, but the MENTALITY of persistence and consistency also transferred over to my skating. Keep up the content bro, I miss seeing you in my feed as much as I used to.

[@ChadBillAnderson]

I think I'm only a couple of years younger than you, and I started weight training for the first time about 3 months ago and I am hooked. Just the difference in my range of motion and flexibility is incredible. Really makes me wish I'd started like 10 years ago.

[@SkyWolf.117]

Now you’re almost caught up to me✔️🎶

[@brvxtn]

Dale: Motherfucker dude John: Where? shit killed me haha

[@rocko34]

Sick video dude great insight!

[@JustinBiener42069]

Solid video! Took a few notes

[@RoastyPotato]

Cheers dude. Teetering on the edge of going to my first class, and this has moved me into the space of fuck it, what do I have to lose, turn up and try it.

[@burymeinmexico854]

Turnstile tee is sick

[@DavidBluetile]

I said i was going to watch this last week and ai blew it..... er. I mean two weeks ago. but I came back for it! haha

[@daledecker]

haha i miss you dad when are you coming home

[@Exploitedyouth2004]

I had something similar happen with me but with skateboarding and ice hockey. The more comfortable I became getting back on a skateboard, the better my movement in goal became on the ice. Beyond it being very similar muscle groups, its like you mentioned a more stable base helped everything.

[@gavenc673]

Ik Dale goes crazy in the pit

[@sammeekercomedy]

Great job! Keep up the good work. OSS

[@Calavent]

This is really good

[@Practicallyliterate]

This video is dope.

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great video

[@WilliamWalters-s9i]

I've always pay attention to your skateboarding and what know your good skateboarder I enjoy skateboarding at times people think I'm to old for skateboarding and wearing a lot of diamond supply co hats tshirts but I don't care I'm 41 my Daughter 3 in a few weeks I got her new skateboard I feel free on a skateboard good exercise I'm mind go's clammer it's fun I even bought my self a baker 8.5 deck hawk graffics awesome Baker in chalk lettering it's my first 8.5 and first time owning a baker deck it great in a lot Ways

[@PatrickPoet]

age affects how you approach it but not whether you approach it. I started skating at 62.

[@spielzeugz]

Right now....I am on the same path with BJJ since about 7 months. But now, tore my acl and messed up my meniskus through skateboarding. Had surgery and now I need to pause with both sports. 🙄

[@Robertapodaca82]

Cool video buddy 😎 very introspective on your journey for skating and Jiu jitsu. Keep grinding away literally 💪 see you on the mats

[@degerdi]

I did jiu jitsu for about 7 years during high school and the military then I broke my jaw and skull falling over a handrail and couldn’t take a hit anymore, had to stop skating too. 2020 changed that, I started skating again and I started teaching my son how to fight and lost 23lbs. If I break my jaw at this point I’ll probably never eat solids again but skating and martial arts are too good for my mental health to stop.

[@degerdi]

I only have two tattoos, one for the military on my left arm to remind me I hold myself to a higher standard, and a Gracie jiu jitsu tat on my back because my training has it when I forget the other stuff

[@VenomOG]

Magic duo, awesome vid 🤙

[@interdimensional115]

You vs Danny Mullen would be entertaining

[@uchoosajosh9473]

8:11 Dale damn nollieflip from kicky Juijujstu

[@daledecker]

😂

[@adri.steeez]

This repetition way of thinking to make it perfect and smoother is a basic for me in skateboarding, cant imagine other way

[@rastaboy_gamesnstuff7778]

Feel this on a similar level, taekwondo made me a better skater🎉

[@sliimetown5387]

Awesome video dude! Got me motivated af

[@Shrodneygoes]

Any recommendations on stretches to get more flexible

[@PatrickPoet]

Hey, Dale, still SO stoked you and John are skating together again. I really missed that. So my question is does it go the other way, do your skating skills affect your Jiu Jitsu either when you started or even now? An obvious one would be you are great at falling from skating. Did you need to unlearn something? Were you ahead of the game?

[@ByTheGrave]

Slay king

[@daledecker]

On god

[@the_peaceful_penguin]

Very cool 😎

[@FeralPublication]

and a comment cause the video is dope

[@WayneMocadlo666]

Shouts out Anti hat.

[@bluishglacier5206]

Skating snd jiu jutsu go hand in hand but you gotta balacne both

[@markuspadilla5730]

Fakie flip hip

[@daanzen]

How do you start an martials arts class? Do you just walk up to a gym/dojo and ask them?

[@star-ym3um]

I’ve been doing ju jitsu for 10 years but suck ass at skating 😭

[@FeralPublication]

did you change your diet?

[@devonavich4301]

More Muscle memory = more you know if you doing a trick right or wrong.

[@ryanbabcock7503]

Yo what song is playing at 9:50 ?

[@tooom3681]

Whine - ssbsts

[@scottmccrimmon1]

Very curious about bjj - I’m worried about getting hurt doing it and being unable to skate 😂 what’s your experience been with that?

[@AlgerJ24]

Those who don’t train, do. I wrestled and trained bjj before I started skating. I think martial arts taught me a lot about my body awareness. Train Jiu jitsu it creates better humans.

[@daledecker]

I was just talking to one of my coaches about this today actually.

[@FUZ2706]

Thanks for making me feel more unfit. Can't skate the past few days cause I rolled my ankle :(. Feeling like the biggest fat ass rn

[@Lakeside623]

Osss!

[@willysantos8314]

Be careful with your kness bro, it's the most common injury in BJJ. It'll definitely mess up your skating

[@jbachman01]

Next try yoga. Will definitely improve your skating

[@josvellinga924]

Do you think you will post more now

[@daledecker]

Yes, although I only stopped posting for like a month and half, I’ve been posting at least once a week for 7 years. Usually it’s more than that though.

[@marcelomartinez7456]

Nice hat

[@daledecker]

Thanks

[@john_doe_66]

I saw you at sound and fury bro ! Wanted to say hi but wanted to let you enjoy yourself and not put you on the spot . It was sick seeing you there!

[@mariolucena]

Bjj 🇧🇷

[@DEEPWATERS4]

Better? Sure. More consistent? Maybe not 😂😵‍💫

[@DEEPWATERS4]

This was a great video though sorry for the roast

[@daledecker]

I would suck to lose to me in a game of skate

[@DEEPWATERS4]

​@@daledeckerlmao in a game of skate of u vs Arjun i jokingly made noises while watching the video right before you popped a trick and every time you choked 😂 much love though my dude its definitely relatable ❤
