This Self-Defense School Is MIND BLOWING

[@MartialArtsJourney]

5 martial arts KZbinrs. 7 self-defense challenges. One warehouse. One winner. The Ultimate Self-Defense Championship is officially happening! Learn more about it here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultimate-self-defense-championship--2/x/19198666#/

[@mattbowman2234]

Having all the martial arts youtubers going to Jeff's school together would be awesome!

[@tappaires6615]

Yup. I think something like this could be greatly beneficial for the martial arts communities as a whole, not for that they're gonna solve self defence, but to show that working together from different backgrounds (a bit like mma..?) is the key to start improving this aspect of martial arts, which seems to be a very underdeveloped aspect of them.

[@DiegoRodriguesNL]

+1 🤘🏽

[@melwinolsson1506]

Heeellll yeah

[@atoo8195]

Do it!

[@Ultr4l0f]

That would be quality content! Almost all cross over episodes are usualy great.

[@iamzekes]

That sounds like a great idea, specially with Icy Mike making jokes later on.

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Haha, yeah Icy Mike should make some good jokes for sure! I'm thinking of inviting Sensei Seth as well, he should be able to crack everyone up too 😁

[@wagutoxD]

This is pretty impressive! It would be amazing to have all you guys participate in an self defense event like that! If I were in a better spot finnancialy, I would even tip in in an crowdfunding type of thing. Maybe that's an idea to make things easier for you! I bet ppl would contribute to watch something like that!

[@DrWolves]

I would DEFINITELY like to see such an event organised and tested with the other greats on KZbin involved in the experiment! That would be awesome!

[@dyn9726]

i think the same as well, more encounters means more experience in that type of scenario, hopefully one day the event will come to fruition!

[@thaariqbinaziz2821]

It actualy happens

[@the.dorgas]

Hell yeah! It would be amazing to see every teacher use its specialties in these scenarios. Please make it happen!

[@aegisprotection4969]

Fun school! There are a lot more schools out there that work similarly than a lot of people realize. They just tend to be fairly small because not that many people want to train that way. Being able to use the environment effectively is a huge advantage. Great video!

[@ubcroel4022]

list some skills

[@Christopher26021994]

Could you please list such similar schools that work similarly? I'd be very grateful (I'm sure many other people too!). Because they are fairly small as you've said, it is not easy to find informations about such places as some common MMA or Krav Maga schools.

[@aegisprotection4969]

I will only list schools with permission from the channel owner. But thanks for interest.

[@AdamTuxTengler]

I used to train historical fencing with a group of guys who were also doing fencing shows in theaters. And apparently a thing that used to happen was that in a big fight scene, some dudes "died" and they were lying on the floor, so were their swords. So it was kinda important to learn how to move around, do your thing and not step on them or their swords. To train that, our master threw bunch of swords on the ground, showed us where they are and then had us walk through them blindfolded. This seems dumb and irrelevant to self-defense in any way. Except, I then sparred with a friend outdoor, for shit and giggles (I did some other martial arts as well) and I realised I remember where all the things are :D. He started aggresively pushing me and I was like: "yep, I do know there is a sign post 90 cm behind me brother" and dodged his last attack diagonally so he ran into the post instead of me. These are little things that they won't teach you in your martial arts school, but give you small edge in the real world.

[@smit70NJ]

I'd LOVE to see the challenge you mentioned at the end! I follow all of those guys. It would be great to see what they do. This type of training is fantastic in my opinion. I'm very impressed with this school and what this guy is doing. great stuff!

[@Bill_1639]

That's a Phenomenal idea having all those guys go to that school I would watch that in a heartbeat and I'm sure thousands of other fans of martial arts would as well. I've trained for 10 years myself fought competitively And have worked security privately privately and in clubs of situations patience for most of my life fif I could afford to go there I would

[@Hyde0991]

I’d love to see that happen. All of you guys seem to have enough differences in how you approach self-defense and martial arts it would be interesting to see you guys in a tested environment.

[@josephattwood4168]

Really interesting concept to explore. Glad to see this guy train emergency service workers, in their environments. I am curious to know what sort of techniques he teaches, or whether it's just to practise reacting to attackers in different scenarios? Definitely interested in your series proposal!

[@martinux18111993]

LET THE SELF DEFENSE ROYAL RUMBLE BEGINS!!!!

[@locky7443]

the collab event sounds awesome!

[@4xdblack]

Hell yeah I'd love to see all you guys trying out that class together! And don't stop at just Jeff's class, make it an ongoing series like Fight Quest, where you go to any school that seems cool and different

[@humann5682]

I worked as a barman in my student days for a few years and thanks for sharing this. I've seen dozens of fights and none of them look like martial arts or even combat sports. Possibly boxing maybe but that's it. All the Dim Mak and "90% of fights will go to ground ma friend so you better be a shark on the land and not a weasel in the water" BS marketing quickly evaporates in real world conflicts.

[@JeffPhillipsSelfDefence]

100%

[@lance555]

YES! I want to see a youtube series like that! And I'm in awe that this school is in my home country! Hell yeah!

[@adamfoldes9084]

Big yes for the planned "all in" event. :-) Appreciate your efforts on this!

[@herminator250]

I would totally watch that show if you organized all those guys you mentioned! I also agree 100% what Jeff can you mentioned! Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@daltonsasse5754]

I think most of the people who watch multiple martial arts channels love the collabs, the more people on it the better. So yes, please do that, also dont forget sensei seth!

[@abhibuddy2]

Definitely yes. We would definitely want to have this

[@dumdum8880]

Self Defence Gauntlet with youtubers would be a MUST WATCH! I would donate to make this happen

[@robcubed9557]

I wholeheartedly support any attempt to gather the various martial arts KZbinrs together and film a series at the self-defense school so that we know who the SECOND best self defense expert is. We all know that the best one hands down will be Master Ken with his Ameridote.

[@MarcosAG90]

Bro that school looks dope!! It is interesting how most people go about martial arts or self defense talking about techniques. In my current martial arts gym, the instructor tells us not to worry too much about the technique since we will never be able to pull it off in a real situation 😂😂😂😂 Instead he tells us to focus on physical conditioning and understanding where gaps are open.

[@christophergodin3585]

do it! All my favorite guys in one video! all of you inspired me so much to venture out into finding more effective martial arts. a series of videos of all of you pushing it to the limit would give me even more drive.

[@chrismaxwell6969]

Definitely wanna see the video your talking about at the end! Keep making great martial arts content!!! Very appreciated!!

[@joennejordbaer]

That's a fantastic angle this centre takes on self defence. May the truth prevail! Thx for great vid

[@mortensrensen4320]

you gotta make that happen man, it would be awesome!!

[@OverSooll]

This is mind altering content that makes you wake up- unless you've been in a street situation such as those, you'll know how un reliable or even counter productive most traditional martials arts are - if you could organize a self defense world competition with full gear on and real life settings like this guy does, it would be completely new and ground breaking and surely as entertaining as MMA, I'm sure plenty of people would help you figuring out a realistic scoring system, full support !

[@kaimbrx]

It will be awesome! A dream come true!!

[@MartialArtsJourney]

👊

[@jaimeflor4181]

Yeah, I'd be interested in watching a competition between various KZbin martial arts people. I also like the idea of this self defense school. Improvised weapons was something I always kept in mind when I was an active martial artists and I got used to the mindset of always looking for potential weapons everywhere.

[@Lacleito]

That event would be great man. I really like your journey and how you have transformed through the years

[@metrolinamartialarts]

What an awesome school!

[@anxiousweeb8753]

8:00 hell yeah that'd be amazing to watch! XD

[@michaelswet4532]

I think that having you guys all pressure tested is a great idea!! I have wanted to implement something like that in my own training for years. I hope you all are able to make this happen. Best wishes and keep up the great work.

[@amirreza_neyestani]

It would be great to see martial artists in a self-defense competition that is close to reality. I hope you can present such an event.

[@jojoismyname08]

Make it happen Rokas! Please! That would be awesome!

[@liesareparadox1892]

Learning to stay “calm” in a stressful situation is what the majority of martial arts training is missing.

[@Plantaman]

MAKE IT HAPPEN, ROKAS!

[@connerh7436]

Love to see the gang come together for something like this!

[@fernandoviramontes3880]

Yes! It would be awesome to have all the martial art youtubers perform this challenge

[@vickikiaos2566]

Yes I'd LOVE to see that! That'd be amazing!

[@ashtraydekay6624]

Yes to the collaboration! Would love to see that video

[@boliusabol822]

Yeah that idea you mention at 7:30 would be really interesting if you can make that happen. You could make a separate video of it discussing the idea.

[@kahnnis]

Rokas, your idea for the youtube series is AWESOME! please do it!

[@tgoff1312]

I would absolutely love to see a self-defense tournament with you all in it! Freaking do it!

[@marcrobertson4735]

Yes, please organize this event.

[@markcreemore4915]

Jeff needs to open up schools in the US and Canada.

[@francisrodriguez2369]

yes, i would love to see that youtube self-defense competition. please do that.

[@lucascanzioli7712]

Yes, just yes! Make it happen!

[@mauxian7109]

Please do!!! I think it’s a great idea. Much respecto for all your work and journey.

[@PHATT_TV]

Awesome, Australia Is my Country so that would be great to see you guys down here…..even if on other side of Country

[@GHOSTofYOSHIMITSU]

well said rokas i totally agree with you there when you talk about how being good at a martial art doesn't mean it will translate to a real world life or death situation... every art can only go so far... im reminded of a quote from the commander in the movie enders game " you're never ready, you go when you're ready enough " You're a good man rokas, i am so sorry for writing you off so early... yea it irks me when i see aikijutsu fall under such heavy scrutiny but it must be done its not necessarily the scrutiny that irks me its the way in which it is scrutinized in an immature condescending manner that infuriates me but i am reminded of a quote " anger blinds, a cool head wins the day"... my uncle johnny told me long ago that what he would do after the dojo would be getting together with his people, ( im guessing fellow aikidoka but i can't say for sure ) and looking at everything and figuring out what worked and what didn't in regards to aikido... but yea there are no guarantees, none of us are invulnerable, we just do the best we can to be able to defend ourselves and our loved ones.

[@Hgoenge81]

Oh hell yes, I would be interested! That truly sounds like an amazing idea! 🤘🏻

[@TheDonPalumbo]

Of course we’re interested! That would be crazy!

[@guilhermebotelho8691]

The event with all the youtubers would be MEGA. I really hope it becomes reality as soon as possible. Also it would be nice to have the guys from reality check self defence. They are from Australia as well

[@afrancis7475]

This is what I need!

[@ives3572]

Situational awareness or presense of mind, quick physical reactions or reflexes, mental strength or toughness, composure or self-confidence, resourcefulness, the instinct or the will to fight back and defend yourself, knowing when to fight back or when to just run away as fast as you can, avoiding people places and situations that potentially lead to heated altercations or violent encounters, and your martial arts/fighting/self-defense skills and techniques (if you have any or some) which you have spent long periods of time practicing and training, can drastically increase your chances of successfully defending yourself and surviving potentially violent self-defense encounters. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.

[@fonwoolridge]

Excellent! And yes, we would all love to see you- functional martial arts - peeps together!

[@stevensamuels5130]

This looks like an amazing school! Thanks for sharing! Too bad I live too far away from it. Love your channel by the way. I've been an aikido practitioner too and have faced many of the same challenges that you've talked about. Later on I started training kickboxing and thaiboxing and tested BJJ too. I'm really interested in diversifying my martial art skills. Unfortunately I'm suffering from a joint condition that heals quite slowly. But I hope I'll be able to continue my own martial arts journey. In the meantime you are a huge inspiration, man. Keep up the great work! 👊

[@Tattherapist81]

Good plan. I’d love to see that competition of comparison of the arts/systems.

[@JordanHix]

Fascinating concept! I think the key takeaway here is situational awareness. It doesn't matter how good your technique is; if you get caught off guard or trip and get stomped out you're done.

[@marcosambrotta101]

I would love for you to make that series

[@gcrts6686]

Id love to see your idea come to life, not only to see how useful mma is in real life situations but also to see how I SHOULD react incase I get attacked (would also love to see Jeff Chan from MMA Shredded or Oliver Enkamp to join in)

[@RenegadeRanga]

I trained in close quarter combat for about 4 years starting at 20 years old. It was a lot of scenario training just like Jeff is doing. Standing, knee high and ground techniques and weapons were all used and the use of improvised weapons and use of environment is a must. I miss those days. His use of different environments and the justification behind it is very smart. It would be awesome to see you guys down under but with the way the world is probably best to stay close to home.

[@brettl.6831]

The show idea with the different KZbin martial artists would be awesome. I’d deffinetally watch that.

[@iNightTiger]

this would be so cool to see more schools like these

[@shadow6pt533]

Would love to see a joint training video series. Make it educational, not for entertainment, and you can sell it on teachables. I'd pay to see that for sure.

[@maciejstanczyk6663]

Love the competition idea!

[@Rockindaxmike]

Hell yeah let’s do this series!

[@Damo1981]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT 👏

[@dvldgz6306]

I would love the event you brought up at the end

[@TheGalaxyfighter]

That self defense school seems a great place to visit AFTER you have trained and mastered the basics in a traditional dojo. Unless someone is looking for a very specific short training in a very specific situation (like medical personnel in hospital setting), I don't think a novice would really learn anything of value going all out without the basics. In my humble opinion. But for martial artists of some level already, the place looks fantastic to try different scenarios.

[@jerediahgonzalez2315]

Get all you guys together! Please! That would be Sooooo dope!

[@johnhenares6760]

Absolutely make this event happen!

[@ragamuffin1588]

I'd be interested in the martial artists going to Jeff's school video idea.

[@RemainRealProductions]

Absolutely awesome school

[@chris-2496]

Sounds awesome. Would deffo watch it!

[@RealBillyGarcia]

Love the idea. Go for it if you can.

[@negix3]

This will be awesome

[@henryyang2873]

Yes on the series!

[@seannyC74]

Definitely do it! I would love to see that.

[@Raven_Fable]

So this is where the magic began! 😊

[@MartialArtsJourney]

Yes indeed! 😁

[@ZenDragonYoutubeChannel]

I would not only be interested in seeing that event, I would be interested in participating (if feasible... with a 2 year old son and work with fixed hours, it's probably not)... I think it would be nice to invite Shane Fazen, Kwonkicker and Sergio from Practical Combat as well.... Hell, why not Master Wong, then you can see how he fares when it's "for the streets". :)

[@ianbell6339]

That idea at the end sounds really cool

[@jayve4433]

That’s a good idea, maybe also have Sifu Nate, Mr. Dan from Art of one Dojo, Master Wong, Ginger Ninja Trickster, Jake Mace, David Wong, Sensei Seth, Wonderboy Thompson, Karate Dojo Waku, Dan Lok, Ando from Happy Life martial arts, Shane from Fight tips, to try that class in that school

[@fridgeraider604]

Yes, yes man, a million times yes!!!! Who wouldn’t want to see that!!!

[@sbgbreakfastclub]

Holy shit. You all going together to australia would be the wildest thing ever! I would even pay to watch it.

[@danjones7561]

I had a self defense book written by Bruce Lee. It was full of drawings of people in casual regular situations, like eating at a restaurant, and how you could use, for instance, the menu to help defend yourself, by blinding the opponent. Bruce would insist on always being aware of your environment to anticipate such attacks. It's weird, like being a hunted spy. But he would have loved that video.

[@RadicalTrivia]

I'd definitely watch you guys go do a series like that. I'd even participate, if you need more martial artists!

[@rgrapplerinoc2617]

100% true and accurate. After 35 years training in multiple combat arts, Muay thai, BJJ, Kyokushin, Boxing, wrestling, etc. Pressure Training/Testing is the ONLY way to really know what you'll do and how you'll react in a "REAL" event or incident. I've personally witnessed Black Belts get knocked out on the sidewalk from a person who had No training or very little Boxing at the YMCA. I've also witnessed experience MMA fighters frozen in their tracks or run like Flash during an altercation. No one really knows how they will react when it's Real Life or Death, and or how effective their skills are when shi.. hits the fan.

[@carlcanfield3763]

I think that’s a GREAT IDEA to get different martial arts instructors to participate in this reality based course. Ask Matt Thornton from SBG who you trained with or some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu artists. I enjoy yer journey

[@undeadc0de199]

Yes, do it!

[@davidecapps65]

Oh hell yes! Make that event happen !

[@ianbrewster8934]

Hell yes...that would be epic

[@sushirice6751]

I would love to see that

[@kipstreuling9692]

I definitely want to see you all do a video like that!

[@uprollsariotvan]

I would love to see that mega collab video! If you bring Oliver and Wonderboy as well it'd be just perfect

[@aleje5761]

I definitely would be interested in your idea with the other youtubers. Helpful. 👍

[@marcm5207]

I would watch the hell out of that event 😁

[@JIBARO2000]

Yes. Do the event. I would even watch a live showing
