[@chrisscornerx3]

Do it

[@masonwinters267]

Bas Rutten is an international fighting treasure

[@johnchathas1957]

He must be protected at all cost

[@jerryjanik480]

This man had to be he had to and he had to be inspired two characters on two two different comedies one television one movie Napoleon Dynamite and the league

[@SyberStain]

you've got to love Bas the liver killer

[@SeanOMatic]

Bas Rutten was one of the most humble guys. When he found holes in his game, he sought advice from others. He cross-trained. One of the early true all-around skilled MMA fighters.

[@Ironhead_Avery]

One of my all time MMA people. Dude is such a character.

[@thebirdmusicplaylist601]

He helped a Highschool biology teacher, who was trying to save his schools music program, get into a UFC for a 50k match against the executioner and won. What a Legend.

[@SenseiSeth]

When I grow up, I want to be like Bas Rutten

[@StevenStranglesPeople]

Gotta love Bas

[@praveshmaharaj4387]

you gotta lose some weight first chunky boy.

[@glennmcgee6705]

You have to absolutely cover part 2. I found your videos maybe three or four months ago and enjoy the hell out of them. I like your wide range of topics You cover

[@StevenStranglesPeople]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos

[@anthonywest5992]

@@StevenStranglesPeople I, and I can only assume many others, fall right in line with this guy's comment. Part 2 would be awesome and I'm enjoying all the new directions since I first found the channel. Thank you!

[@Dalilpunker]

Yes

[@willwade8050]

My brother and I have laughed at this instructional for years, we love your content. Please continue this series. Bas is the Man and these videos were priceless 🤣 👌🏻 😂

[@sharktyricon3016]

Hell yea, I want to see a second episode! Love how Bas tells you might win the fight by spraying your blood in your opponents eyes. This whole instruction video is just gold.

[@A-1-Sawce]

I remember my cousin being way too excited to show me these Bas videos years and years ago. Still love them.

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

Let’s go! I didn’t even think about you doing a breakdown on the real Superman! I have watched this man’s whole career!

[@Andrew-Ryan]

Easily top 5 fighter (ignoring the skill sets of different generations) of all time.

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

@@Andrew-Ryan I agree with that. I’m not sure what would happen now but considering what he did and when the man earned respect. I don’t think he ever took any real punishment either so it’s hard to say

[@StevenStranglesPeople]

Gotta love Bas

[@Andrew-Ryan]

@@Thegoofyairgunner I always think about it like this, MMA is what it is today in part BECAUSE of Bas. If you give a man like that his youth to train with the knowledge we have now it would be insane. On the flip side, he was so good because he was pretty advanced for that time period so like you said, who knows lol

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

@@StevenStranglesPeople him slapping grown men to sleep will forever burned in my memories 🤣

[@ColdDrone13]

Bas is one of my favorite people in the mma community of all time. I would watch anything related to him that you covered. He's got bar fight stories. He has all kinds of funny martial arts fakes stories. He's got it all.

[@SeanOMatic]

I bet you Bas would love to talk to you and give you an interview. He's a kind guy. My friend interviewed him on a podcast a few years ago and Bas was an excellent guest.

[@philipwheeler4325]

Yes, please! I bet he'd do it.

[@222SickBoy]

Yes do #2 Bas Rutten is an absolute legend and this video never gets old. I’ve been watching it at least once a year for the past 10 years.

[@MjBurns88]

Bas is hilarious and I think he's aware of it but he plays it straight. Not to mention a real OG and a guy who continued to evolve with his ground game etc...when he was still fighting . I like how Steven pays him a ton of respect while still ribbing him. New school respecting old school type stuff great stuff as usual.

[@dopeymark]

Bas is a treasure. Lots of practical advice as well. Forearm strikes and palm strikes.

[@spoobini]

I love Bas Rutten so much. Its cool seeing someone doing comprehensive, legitimate self defense techniques. A nice contrast from the Dale Brown types. I'd like to see you react to the rest of the video

[@xancypillosi9497]

U think this is new ? Lol

[@JakeV.]

Bas is awesome. I genuinely look forward to any of your videos Steven! Gold.

[@marccadiz9321]

this was pure gold…. I feel bad that I get so much entertainment value and it’s nearly free… God I love my friends! thank you!

[@chrislair6832]

I have always been a huge fan of this badass! And I agree he is an underrated actor.

[@Swordsman_HEMMA]

I'm astounded by how much of this is covered in HEMA texts. The Americana (Upper Key) wrist lock against the knife is a classic play that shows up in countless dagger manuscripts (Wallerstein, Mair, Fiore, etc), and the pant leg grab as a defense when grabbed from behind is mentioned in several Ringen / wrestling books as well. Just goes to show, effective fighting never changes!

[@edwardwolfe1735]

Hell yeah. Keep this Bas Rutten self defense course comin. Love it

[@JohnRBIV]

I love Bas’ Pancrase commentaries, he talks about his entire career in Pancrase while watching his fights

[@thecatadors911]

I 110% want part 2… THIS IS HILLARIOUS!!!

[@jordanmurray4061]

I love Bas Rutten. The guy is %100 pure genuine talent

[@Samurai78420]

"How to get arrested, charged and convicted of felonious assault or worse" by Bas Rutten 🤣🤣🤣 Fkng love this guy. Bas is the man.

[@richardtsandee8603]

Thank you !! Everybody was waiting for this 😉

[@nathanchristman6660]

Bas is so underrated. Once he hit his prime nobody could stop him. Too good at all aspects of mma in a time no one else had all around skill.

[@pubjitsuguy8596]

Smack his face into the ambience of the place………I’m dead, so dead its gold

[@rivhaaken9763]

Really love the content, i grew up with bas rutten fights , he is a legend.

[@Ares91k]

Please do a part 2 bas is such a goofy guy the way he talks about fighting especially I'm the Octagon is like when a kid talks about his favourite dinosaur it's so wholesome

[@2ndHandHero]

“This is the most comprehensive self defense video on how to catch a case that I’ve ever seen.” Holy cow. Getting “strangled” cracking up!!!

[@chowderpilot3843]

Bas is a living legend of the fighting sports, an OG tough guy who proved himself in Pancreas. As a teacher he is charismatic, skilled - and has an infectious self-deprecating sense of humour. Props to you Steven for conceding that the daggy sound effects and comments he makes when demonstrating techniques are totally cool because its is Bas doing it lol....😉

[@billpawlicki6126]

I’ve been waiting for you to cover this!!

[@jeepnutscotty]

Bas is the fkn Legend…. Met him twice now and you cant find a nicer guy who tries to give time to everyone…. LOVE this video Stephen 👍

[@ifarai]

being from the netherlands,,i am sure i stil have this vhs or dvd somewhere in a box...been in a few fights and i can tell you this stuff work 100%...seeing this bring back a lot of memories...so bring on part 2🤣🤣🤣

[@hsg313]

You are the only channel consistently getting my likes. Keep it up

[@gerpolcolsen749]

I think he made one of the first Close combat instructional there is in that time period. Now you can see more of urban fights instructionals. Not everything works, but the mind set he uses is still legit.

[@metalrobot3000]

One of my favorite parts in the original video is where he pulls the knife out all the sudden pretends to slash a throat and then casually says ‘’ and just like that it’s over and out” 🤣😂 true character and legend

[@paulvdhl8196]

Please cover it all!!! Bas is awesome!!!

[@richg3859]

I've only ever seen the edited video version of this. Thank you.

[@aaronataman892]

palm strike king 💪💪😂

[@Bradley-pgamer996]

Please cover part 2. Bas is one o my all-time favs

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Yes my friend, more Bas self defense, he deserves the love, Bas is on my mma MT Rushmore.

[@ronurizar8961]

Bas Rutten is the best. A legend. He will never be replaced

[@myyritenut]

Hell yes Steven, please release part 2!

[@kizzabennett8996]

Bas had a tv show very similar to these self defence videos where he'd take security footage of people getting mugged (and things like that) and shows ways to deal with that specific situation

[@paulfrancois7653]

Loved his appearances on King of Queens!

[@grayalun]

I love Bas and his passion for fighting is infectious, love his commentary on Karate Combat.

[@masterchief8855]

Bas is the man. Love the bar fight techniques

[@guest0046]

El Guapo! His liver shots are legendary. And the leg kick block to straight cross counter is so good! Ive implemented a bunch of stuff from Bas. Hes hillarious af! Check out his interview when he was teaching this ninja guy from japan, or when some bouncers in Sweden lured him to the cellar in the club Spy bar, and they attacked him and he kicked all of their asses 🤣🤣🤣

[@luisfernandez8638]

Bro you’ve developed so much on your channel over the past year. You killing it tigeron keep your grind up

[@AJproductionsful]

I always wondered how Bas would have done had he gone to the ufc earlier or fought in early pride events just imagine, Colman, any of the Gracie family members, Severn, taktarov, tank abbot, kimo , Goodrich, ruas, don frye, belfort, Kerr, couture, sakuraba, vovchanchyn

[@barrettdowell3985]

I'm so stoked! I was literally commenting a few days ago that I wanted your opinion on these!

[@tentopful]

Please do part 2, this s*#! Is hilarious! Massive Bas Rutten fan. Huge Strangle fan as well, enjoying the content.

[@paintedwarrior516]

Heck yeah do a part two. Love Bas

[@tronester]

We need the whole thing man, do a part 2 and 3 and 4.

[@brynsussex2967]

When Bas smacked that guy's face into the ambiance of the place I shit you not he did it so hard that my nose started spontaneously bleeding through the screen. That's what I call an offensive defense

[@mckaycoatings4196]

hahaha. and here i was thinking bas ruttens videos couldnt get any better🤣 nice work mate!

[@thedopesickshow]

I actually did throw salt in someone’s eyes years back. I had a twacked out guy in a trap house that was a friend but absolutely out of his mind. He was going to attack another friend and I’d warned him, and being out of his head he didn’t see the oversized salt shaker with the top off and in my hand. It definitely stopped him, spent an hour or so nodding at the sink washing it out.

[@dlizzle11]

Man I been a big fan over the last 2 months or so and been watching all your videos, your content is on point… keep killing it.

[@bloodwynn]

Remember watching this more than 10 years ago. The most legit self-defense techniques I've seen in my life.

[@mikeumm]

"...and smash him into the ambience of the place." Who says that? That had me in tears.

[@godd3387]

About pocket sand. I got spoken to rudely while I was writing a poem on the roadside one night by three guys. They looked nervous. I guess I had a very intimidating no nonsense presence when I responded to what they said, I replied “just writing, leave me alone” and I noticed the middle guy had a bright red object in his hand. The guy had a giant red chilli pepper. Immediately recognising it as a weapon which would blind me I got up and kept moving, they gave chase so I ran to a local kebab shop which was very busy and tore my shirt off revealing my superior physique (compared to the three guys chasing me) and said COME ON DEN YA FOOL LETS GO! I can’t remember if we fought or if they just talked their way out of it but I do remember winning, either way. Love bro your videos are important.

[@DemoDick1]

I had a well worn VHS copy back in the day. It served me really well. But he really needed a follow up video on body disposal, and perhaps an overview of the criminal justice system.

[@suddendilemma5137]

@5:20 when the metal comes on you know it just leveled up 💀 😂🤣

[@noahvannote363]

I call him the "Liver Lancer". His body shots are insane.

[@THEpaulyBOY44]

Part 2 plezz 😀🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻

[@JimmyPtheman]

10:13 had me dying....yes, please do a part 2!!

[@vevand513]

Bas part 2!!! Let’s go!!!

[@Broken_Orbital]

Bas Rutten did the motion capture for GTA IV's melee combat.

[@robertnguyen9493]

Bas Rutten, the man even provides his own sound effects.

[@mikehuff9793]

I have gotten in the habit of listening to you while I work out to the point that it’s a must now. I got “Steven Strangleholm’s Syndrome” now. I can’t hit my flow state unless I hear your voice 🤣❤️💪🏽💪🏽

[@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.

[@k6meodmt564]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 killed me when he used the "ambiance" of the bar and then to spray attacker like a gila monster out your bleeding veins 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RyanTWebber]

The “It’s not true, don’t ask me how I know” had me dying 😂

[@joegonzalez4470]

Awsome content. Keep doing what you are doing brother 💯

[@Roberto-nm8sw]

I learned so much from Bas comments on the Pride fights

[@GregoryShtevensh]

When I was 4 years old my Dad threw sand in my eyes... it really does mess you up... I got ass whoopings usually but that day I'll never forget

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Ah yes! Bas Rutten's bar-fightin series. A timeless masterpiece.

[@robertsvoboda3508]

We most positively would like to see part 2, sir! Thank you very much for getting round to doing this, it is hilarious! You could perhaps do the same with an episode of Punk Payback. 😄 Great content, much love and respect! 🙏🙌👑👊💪

[@bucketblunderbuck]

You really need as many parts as it takes to capture the entirety of this beauty of an instructional video 👌 excellent work bro

[@slymarbo4046]

Probably the only sold on tv course I would trust

[@joebiscuit2243]

You should react to his Extreme Pancrase videos it's actually pretty solid as far as techniques that can be used in MMA. But honestly Bas' accent is what makes him so great to listen to if he had some normal American or even British accent it he wouldn't be the same.

[@stanzonal]

"Many people under estimate the sand in their pockets...." -Dale Gribble

[@Brugar18]

I like that he covered the knife defense in probably the most sensical way to do it. Grab some object arround you (the chair in this case) and use that to keep distance and injure the opponent. Which is much better than trying to execute some random flashy move that might be too complicated to use in real situation like many self defense gurus teach.

[@Dangit-Dangit]

Loving the channel Pet Berry.

[@lostvagabond365]

bas rutten is my favorite mma personality of all time..he was also the best part of gta 4

[@SoCalChris]

8:38 Go for a backbreaker or sidewalk slam. OVER!

[@einar6229]

"Smack his face into the ambience of the place" there really is nothing to show Bas is not a badass, absolute legend.

[@JasonChapa]

You make a lot of great vids…and this is another!

[@kenmotherfuckineaton7690]

Such an OG of the game the 1st thai boxer u had to fear on the floor as well. He actually finished his career with more subs than ko's and on a 22 fight unbeaten streak all this while being mostly self taught (in subs) from finishing sequences he had saw and drilled with his ONE training/sparring partner. Absolute legend!! 💪💯

[@Armelier]

Bas Rutten es un maestro yo lo vi por primera vez en pancracio!!! (reventando higados)

[@smarc1325]

Hey SSP 🙋🏼‍♂️ Mark , 48 , half Dutch half Swiss., waiting 4 part 2.. Heart of Europ is watching you 😃🧐 🍀🍄👍👌😆

[@robertfortado9201]

Will always watch about Bas make more videos

[@jerryjanik480]

BAS reminds me of two people Rafi from the league and the guy who taught self defense on Napoleon Dynamite but this is way much better

[@jordangilgeours4395]

I love how New York/ jersey this channel is “my student broke a guys leg he had timbs on) 😂😂

[@kczcb4697]

Remember when National Geographic measured the force of bas’s liver kicks. Believe that same show measured fedor’s rear naked choke also.

[@ricardogallegos7781]

pleeeease part 2!! i need to learn more from sensei vas

[@chamberlaincraftsman9558]

We need part 2!
