I'm a very strong and athletic man and have decent size too (5'11" 200lbs, ~15% bodyfat) and walking in to a Muay Thai class for the first time and seeing 15 year old kids much smaller than me throwing strikes just as hard as me, and moving much more fluidly was quite humbling.

As an MMA fighter, fighting is definitely scary, even after all the training and hours put in. But that fear is a good thing. It keeps you aware, fast, strong. Once you actually get in there and start fighting it’s the best most exhilarating action you could ever do. And when you win? Oh my god when you win. Best feeling.

@Sandro I got knocked out with a sucker punch when I was 17 and I don't really have a huge fear of it afterwards. It honestly wasnt all that bad, i kind of jusy came to while laying on the ground and when i stood up my friend was like hey have a seat for a minute and i just had a headache for a while, nothing crazy. What worries me is a hard liver shot, I've never had that happen but I've seen guys like Daniel Cormier fold from them, and he's one of the toughest men walking the planet. Or that boxer white chocolate who was hooking dudes in the liver and having them unable to get up off the floor; totally conscious but in so much pain that they just quit on the fight

Lifting weights definitely furthered my fighting career as I gained more punching power and could focus on muscles used during fighting.

As a Jiu Jitsu/Judo grappler, its really fun to fight. The tension before a tournament and the adrenaline after is addictive. Its like building a piece of furniture out of wood by scratch. before you build it you think "man this looks rough, what if it doesn't turn out how i want it to?" you start to build and it starts getting fun. Soon, it seems like as you're building it, all you can think about is the project. and once you finish, you're satisfied and proud of yourself that you built that piece of furniture out of wood, out of scratch.

Grew up in an abusive home, and got bullied in elementary school. Used to go body shots with other boys in middle school in the bathroom, I loved winning and using my pain to hurt them. Plus I learned how to build my own resilience to pain, so I wouldn’t be hurt no more at home. Once I got to HS, I found boxing. Fell deeply in love with it and that really helped. I stopped for some years after that, kids, marriage, work etc. then recently this year in January, brother-in-law brought up boxing. Says he likes and wants to know more about it, I fell in love again. The fire is back. The passion is back. It never left me, I just never paid attention to it. For any man or boy out there going through bullying and abuse like I did, listen to this video. Go learn how to fight. Don’t be afraid, use that anger and pain and make it YOURS. You may feel weak, but I promise you, you’re not. USE that hatred you feel like I did, make it worth something. You will grow so much when you do. I love you 💜

[@amberlerae6033]

What you said reminded me of some guy friend I had, he was not the fighting type person. He looks very calm and kind off mysterious person, he's not that tall and not that big, he doesn't work out because he studies a lot and has some sort of perfectionist tendencies going on. I remember three fake friends he had started bullying him, even if he may seem like a very relaxed person, he had anger issues but he was hiding them as much as he could, even though you could tell he had them if you knew him enough. The thing is that one of those bullies was 6'1 and he was very muscular and kinda aggressive; he constantly provoked my friend, and he was doing his best to hold back because he was actually scared of fighting him, and I don't blame him. The other two of his friends encouraged him to beat him, but the day their actual fight happened in a party... that "aggressive" tall and strong guy found out who my friend really is when he's showing his true anger. Lol That bully got some hits in, but he was the one who had to go to the hospital because of how serious the injuries in his face were. I'm still happy I had the chance to experience that fight.

[@juniorgarcia584]

You don’t have to be a trained fighter but training in a gym and fighting trained fighters in controlled settings I think you’ll feel what the video explained it’s a different feeling than fighting guys in the street because you have to focus and control your anger more

[@anonenoemos4895]

That's why the fight club existed

[@rally_chronicles]

Don't talk about it

[@Mma_tips]

Which club?

[@Labissbrr]

There is a quiet i like "We don't learn to fight to be able to beat or hurt someone, we fight to conquer ourselves" I think it was something very similar to that but it it's true as a person who did martial arts for 5 years that's the best thing to do to fight

[@kreyrfer8293]

Like most men I love and admire fighting especially when it's done by methods u mastered The only thing that kinda suck is the potential injuries to the brain especially if u practice professionally

[@Zekor4]

I've been fighting since I was 11. The thrill of the fight is one of the most amazing feelings I've ever got to experience. I can compare it to skiing at high velocity maybe, but more physically tiring.

[@ventolchindenga5272]

I really love fighting

[@KingKom1996]

Definitely learned alot about myself while sparring and boxing. Even with jujitsu. Fighting is the best

[@Erik_Ochoa013]

I can't wait to start technical boxing after my vacation at the time of this comment!

[@emanuelr.desousa6878]

The most exciting thing about fighting for me it's the strategy and mechanics. Just going out there and start punching randomly is stupid, it just gets people hurt. Now, when two guys punch each other and there's logic behind every punch, it just feels awesome, to watch and to do!

[@heheboi2553]

I started training like Mike Tyson and combining it with MMA, the best thing that could ever happen to me, I literally was winning against everyone, you just need to learn and master the footwork and hit hard, I hit hard naturally and it is my primary weapon for knockout and damage.

[@bluesuit460]

Starting training bjj and muay thai in 2017. I train 5 times a week for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Best decision of my life, it compltetly changed ur mindset and confidence. I also always watch fights and fight breakdowns and tips in youtube, and it helps

[@Jordanthecool7]

A few months ago before I got hurt I was practicing wrestling with my friends ( my school didn’t have a team ) and it was a great learning experience . It also boosted my confidence even in non combat related situations. It also made me mentally tougher and helped me become smarter , since I am the lightest person out of the group I had to find smarter ways to win and to take them down. Even though I eventually got hurt and had to stop, in my opinion it was worth it and very fun

[@gvis3880]

Did you get injured ?

[@pootis9180]

How bad was the injury?

[@appakuma6621]

ive practiced taekwondo since i was a kid 1st grade to 6th grade, but had to stop coz of family reasons, im actually getting myself in shape and step inside the world of pain either i continue my taekwondo or do something else. but im getting back in there soon.

[@NoviusInfernalBerserk]

Damn, I love fighting but it easily becomes an addiction. I only had 2 street fights and even though I know, that they were stupid and dangerous, I still can't get over them. Now I haven't had a fight in 2 years. I'd love to do it with someone on a similar level, who also has the urge to have a consensual fight just like that. I'd like to go to a mma gym, but there's only one here and it requires a contract, which makes me feel bad. Everything else is so far away. I wish every town in the whole world had organizations like streetbeefs, arrows, king of the streets, where you just go and they look at how you fight and match you with a good opponent and then you just fight, no matter how much experience you have. It's something that society truly needs in my opinion.

[@ernie9538]

Go to El Salvador

[@NoviusInfernalBerserk]

@@ernie9538 Dude, I've googled it and it seems to be a prison, so I'm taking this as a joke.

[@Rahotepppp]

@@NoviusInfernalBerserk maybe get some friends an teach them so you can spar with them at your home

[@NoviusInfernalBerserk]

@@Rahotepppp All of my friends, who live close hate fighting. Only my swimming buddy has done boxing for two years when he was a teenager, but he doesn't want to do it anymore. The two fights I had were with people, who already trained martial arts for some time (at least they said so), but wanted to experience "street" fighting. They traveled hours for this one meeting, so meeting regularly wasn't possible and the fights were not truly balanced because I was too heavy back then. About finding friends... well I won't go out and ask people to spar with me because I'm an introvert and it's weird. Appreciate your input though!

[@Rahotepppp]

@@NoviusInfernalBerserk that's hard but what you said is.....i don't recommend it you definitely don't into a street fight I have done it before but it didn't go as expected..

[@KazMMA7]

I do BJJ. Judo. Boxing. And kickboxing/mma. And this guy is spitting straight facts.

[@rijnvanessen7359]

I want to see Andrew Tate beating the living hell out of Jake Paul.

That walk out, I'm terrified. Once the bell rings, it all goes away. After it's over, I want to do it again. A few days later, post fight depression.

[@dogeofamp6037]

I guess I’ll give Brazilian jui jitsu another try I did felt better after each training session but my body was always hurting it’s just that I’m really lazy to do things and usually only go to the gym 1 time a week it’s pathetic I hope I can change this

[@y.__.y--]

Stop hoping to change. Change.

[@nickoris3633]

My advice to u bro stop jerking off, it takes away ur motivation

[@pinga9173]

The first rule of fight club is to be yourself and have fun ☺

[@thegoat6116]

its because of our ego's

[@ryanhampson673]

I’m not a MMA fighter but I was a soldier. The first time I got into a firefight I finally understood. It is the oddest and most surreal feeling I’d ever encountered, at the time I wasn’t scared, that came after, thinking about it. It was the most powerful high I’ve ever experienced and I’m shamed to admit it but it was so innately primal it was also exhilarating beyond explanation. The reason a lot of vet have troubles after does have to do with bad memories from those experiences and I have those too, but another part of it is because you cannot reproduce the raw primal emotion outside of the actual act of being that close to death, it is the most powerful drug in existence, it’s addictive and it’s destructive. Just like any drug it makes you feel good but if you do it for too long it consumes and destroys you.

[@justadude189]

I started kickboxing about 3 weeks ago and hasd a spar against a teenage local champion (both of us are 16) as stated in the video i had my ass handed to me , but what suprrised me was the things that happened after wards : 1- I was hooked even more on the sport 2- I partially overcame my fear of getting punched and relised I take them quite well 3- I knew intially that i had a long way to go this put into perspective how big that way actually is Thank you for reading this to who ever reads this !

Fighting is in our DNA 🧬

[@chiefexchange6685]

It's stupid

[@colecampbell1906]

I hated it growing up, but now I'm kinda glad I grew up in a shitty area where I got in fights weekly. I honestly just thought that's how all boys grew up, didn't realize so many people are afraid of conflict because they didn't have to encounter it much. When you go years of having to watch over your shoulder for a group of guys jumping out of a car to come pile you, and have to deal with it multiple times when they catch you and fight off 4 guys, the thought of fighting 1v1 in a cage with gloves and rules doesn't really make you blink.

[@taetheruler]

We develope testosterone, muscle mass etc to protect our SEED and secure the development of our seed. That is the sole purpose for our physical/genetic make up. EVERY other purpose comes 2nd

[@jasonkoroma4323]

Your seed will just end up being an enslaved wagie. Not sure how that protects against that.

[@adameriksson6921]

I thought I was weird because of how much I love n miss fighting. Im 1 of 12 kids (10 boys) n am the only fighter n weight lifter. I'm finally healed after years n I'm going to get back into it. Nothing beats getting into that ring. It's unreal.

[@raiderraeye-bh1ne]

It generally comes down 2 1's upbringing "LIFE" purpose, Spiritually and character! 4 "LIFE" in general is a fight in which we must be rounded mentally, physically, and Spiritually! In combat the main difference is upbringing & or circumstances 2 lead 2 later like U stated.There's competitors, protector's, defender's,far from the same especially when it comes 2 reason & or purpose in doing when in desperate circumstances or situations or possibly thrill or not knowing better.

[@iEnjoyiVideos]

I recently got spinal surgery a few months ago due to a mishap. I've atrophied and been through agony while I crumbled away and had to rebuild just to get to below capable, but it's finally happening. I'm starting Physical therapy today - my fight to regain aspects of my old body starts today.

[@gabiyoutube6518]

Good luck bro you got this

[@OogaRequiem]

wtf, why do i have a feeling that this is an attention seeker comment

[@familyguysofunny1933]

People don't understand that fighting and violence is different. Fighting is a sport, it is controlled, it is meant to empower the weak and teach people to be better. Violence is not a sport, it is uncontrollable, it is only used to kick down on the weak and it can only bring destruction

[@xreloadx1684]

Bro take this from someone who trains, still everytime I have to fight I’m nervous af before the fight starts whether it’s a street fight or Actaul but once I start I love that shit, and realize why I love the sport

[@iamtheonedude]

I'm in high school and all the boys get together to go at it in the gym. The teacher's cool and allows it for the most part, only rule being no striking after I accidentally knocked a guy out. Everything else is allowed ie throws pins grappling etc. My math teacher did wrestling when he was younger and taught us some stuff and a few of my classmates actually have martial art experience like karate and wrestling and we breifly had a bjj guy but he switched schools (I box🥊). I gotta say this videos on point! You go into a kind of flow state and everything just works better. You see differently and hear differently and it definitely worth it. Fellow high schoolers, don't do drugs spar instead.

[@salvitoripopadillo4539]

I am 1 & 0 as an amateur boxer. I started when I had just turned 18 back in 1995. I had a very bad left shoulder from football injuries but I won. 3 one minute rounds and I was Whooped! That's after training for Months! Been a huge fan of fighting ever since!

[@mentalfloss46]

Holy crap, a recommendation that had me replaying and writing things down. I have been waiting for a moment like this lol.

[@dyingcockroach3472]

I’ve tried three different martial arts over the last ten years to varying degrees to hone my fighting and grow my repertoire of skills. Each year my point of view changed and was shaped by my sensei or coach and even my sparring partners, be they male or female. But I have learned that strength, humility, compassion, self control, and confidence among many more can only be learned through the fire of combat. Loyalty and friendship can only be cultivated during strife alone side others. And confidence can only grow after a success, or during a great failure

[@accurategamer7085]

Simple, you feel strong!! And being the most powerful means you have freedom.

[@JimmySale-z3k]

my goodness you gave words to the feelings of the very thing, thanks you so much brother

[@FailureToFighter]

To be a fighter, wrestling is a great way to learn what you're capable of taking. "Again" is what you must say to yourself every time you get knocked down. & this is just for building your physical toughness. I remember when I worked at a group home, I tired everyone out, even after one of my friends lifted me off the ground by one calf (in an actual fight I woulda slammed my fist into his nose as hard as I could as soon as I saw him start to reach his arms around my leg), & onto my back. Shit hurt in the best way. I still got up, & said "Again".

[@Moto.warrior26]

I do kickboxing and boxing and i practice them everyday but now i am learning to do wrestling as my addition skill

[@SouthSidePlayas]

I remember how I signed up to a BJJ place called Gracie Barra Pearland TX a year ago, I remember I was doing so well, I was moving extremely well on the ground and had good side control escapes, I just sorta lacked in the Submission game. But after my brother left, I couldn’t go to any Gi Sessions anymore,I don’t know how to tie. And I’m 16. I cried and cried after every Jiu Jitsu Session because i got so bad that they started putting me against the girls. So i just ended up quitting. And now i really wish I pushed through. And now I’m thinking about signing up for MMA once i start working.

[@Jammydodgers41]

I'm a firm believer that if you have a problem with someone in the work place ect. You should be able to offer them to sort it out through physical combat. My choice of combat would be through boxing but in this day n age you can't fight without be reprimanded by authorities.

As an amateur myself, I can completely agree with your assessment. I choose martial arts solely because of the reasons that you listed. It gives me clarity and purpose.
