🧵 Ultimate Self-Defense Championships

Some Aikido scam-artist from Lithuania managed to use Gofundme to pay for an Australian vacation, on the stipulation him and his five pals (A bunch of martial arts YouTubers) beat the shit out of each other every day of the week and the guy who did it best gets a free belt. Ever wanted to see some of these armchair martial artists try to put money where their mouth is and get their wigs split? Well here you go. The first episode is "Who can beat the shit out of each other on a bus the best"

He got beat by Ramsey Dewey who, of his own admission, was severely out of shape due to having lost 30lbs from being bedridden with severe illness just the prior month - and is also the oldest one there. Manlet's eaten his crow. Meanwhile the guy who actually does fight frequently and professionally has the highest scores while the guys who openly experiment and try to learn and practice constantly kept getting points.

It was fantastic. I really hope it's successful and spawns a sequel or more collab shows like it. probably the best and most ambitious thing I've seen on youtube as this kind of "show" or creator collaboration in years.
>>141127
Icymike is in his 40s and 5'6 fighting against guys in their early 30s or late 20s who are much heavier and taller than him (except ramsey dewey who is a couple of years older but still much heavier and taller than him ). And he did a lot better against Jeff Chan , the most dominant one who is a successful pro mma fighter, than every other fighter there except sensei seth. I think he just ran out of stamina a lot earlier due to age.
at the beginning of the day he'd probably fair respectably against all of them.
Also he's the only one with gun training so he'd smoke them all as an actual soldier/bodyguard/operator

I’ve watched icymikes content for a long time, but despite the fact he claims to be more open minded than other martial artists he’s clearly not and his blowhard attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way. he also has a lot of shit takes on a lot of things, not the least of which was siding with master wong over Ramsey Dewey despite wong obviously being a bullshitter. Nevermind the gall he had to have to tell actual pro fighter Dewey that he “fought like shit” when icy mikes only claim to fame was beating up a fat autist who thought he was a ninja. I’m happy to seem him get humbled like this.

IcyMike's only worth was testing out self defense weapons on himself and his friends because it was funny. That's it. I want good grappling insights? Ramsey Dewey. I want educational discussions on martial arts from an experienced perspective? Ramsey Dewey. I want to laugh at someone ripping on shitty self defense advice? Ramsey Dewey. I want a bald old guy with a beard and martial arts experience to give his insights brought upon by years in the field? Ramsey fucking Dewey!
And if I want someone actually fun to watch, Sensei Seth and Jesse Enkamp are right there.

Imagine being this pro MMA fighter thinking you’re going to do some light sparring with a couple of amateurs and they start piling you on the bus.
It is a miracle that nobody was injured on this. I am astonished nobody cracked their ribs against the top of a seat or got sent flying down the aisle when the bus brakes.
I also hope to fucking god that they have behind the scenes footage of the interaction with the cops

I love the ambition of this video, but it's impossible to quantify self-defense in this way. This is the striking equivalent of car jiu-jitsu.
In 9 situations out of 10, you'd get out of this bus situation by pinning the assailant and then waiting for the police. The most similar situation I witnessed is when a drunk wouldn't leave the bus, and the biggest guy simply threw him out.

Fun videos, but useless in evaluating real life self defense because they're limited in how hard they can strike. If you're not allowed to knock the other guy out or hurt him in any way, it obviously completely changes how you approach these situations.

Sensei Seth has cross trained both judo and sambo, and I’m not surprised at all considering people who actually train judo and do mma usually use it effectively. Retards on /xs/ and elsewhere online only talk shit about it because it’s not as common as wrestling for standup which shouldn’t be surprising when theyre watching promotions based out of the United States.
What was most surprising to me was matt effectively using that fairbairn style palm jab to take people down.
Legitimately didn’t think that would work on someone resisting.

Scenario training is super common in military and law enforcement. The self defense center used in this series is lended out to militaries and LEAs across the planet and plans similar to it existed beforehand (though not as extensive as "Round robin fistfights on a moving bus"). Air Marshalls sometimes do scenario training in rooms of similar dimensions to an airplane aisle as well.

Reminder that the objective is to score points, not "survive" so here none of them will admit it but they all chose to leave the others to die so they had the chance of scoring points. Proof that none of these people could be counted on to defend anyone if they thought they could get away.

It's supposed to be an "escape and hide" form of self-defense as opposed to the combative stuff they've been doing prior. Like imagine you're in England or some shit with no weapons and a group of Pakis are made you had bacon for dinner last night and decide to honor kill you.
But as >>142792 said it's a points game and there was no score incentive for collaboration.
However, Ramsey also said the point system was made up AFTER the show was filmed - Rokas told him that they would figure something out after everything was done to determine the winner.

I really hate “just run away” fags because they make a lot of assumptions about the situation. Most people don’t even know they’re about to be stabbed before it happens, running isn’t an option when the attack is in progress. Nevermind the fact that unless your a single male, running isn’t an option if you’ve got a woman or a child with you. Even if you are alone and you se the knife before they decide to stab you, running isn’t even a great option because they could opt to stab you in the back. Just like with bears, running makes you look weak and triggers the instinct to chase. Keeping a good, alert, stance towards the opponent and backing away slowly is a much better option. That way you can at least fight back if they try to charge you.

Run. Unironically, just fucking run. You can run from ONE person, because all you have to focus on is having a clear path ahead of you and keep the crazy guy as far behind you as possible. The second it's more than one guy? Running no longer works, since now you've just exponentially increased the amount of factors.
By that point, the only solution is avoidance (e.g., don't go to places where this can happen, and don't advertise yourself as a reasonable target)

An interesting trivia is that you easily _can_ disarm someone pointing a gun at you if he is within your striking range (as your punch is way faster that human's reaction time - that's about 200ms - so he won't manage to pull the trigger). But we are really approaching the "too dangerous for the ring" shit here as you definitely want to disable him for good during this split of a second.

most people who actually train do respect judo. even people who only train mma do respect that many hip throws/reaps originate in judo despite needing some changes for nogi. the people talking shit are the people who don't train anyways.

if you're a pro boxer maybe. but plenty pro fighters get killed in real life altercations. most ppl here don't train so they'll telegraph their strikes, giving the attacker plenty time to squeeze the trigger. and even if you manage to clock him in the face within that tiny window, what if he tilts his head down and eats the punch w/ his forehead? now your hand hurts more than his forehead does. or if he simply turns or pulls back his head? you might have had a chance of surviving it, seeing as most armed robbers don't wanna kill you necessarily; they're more interested in what you have on your person. but now that you've escalated the situation, he's more likely to say fuck it and kill you anyway. nice going retard.

Also, the second scenario was kind of scored arbitrarily in my opinion. The way they set it up, I think it's reasonable to assume that the character you're embodying in that situation is that of an orderly working in a psychiatric hospital and thus have to defuse it.

There’s a weird philosophy that self defense instructors are forced to subscribe to in order to not get argued with to death that no matter the situation you HAVE to de-escalate unless you are actively being murdered. It’s so fucking bizarre. Like yeah, just watch your wife get raped or run away from your kids. Don’t ever risk injury over something that isn’t actively killing you because apparently the only metric that counts is whether your unharmed or not. In actuality they must not practice this philosophy I assume. I can’t imagine a woman staying with a guy who says “you’re on your own” if some guy starts feeling her up in public. I wish the internet wasn’t so black and white retarded that you could say “yeah don’t escalate arguments with drunk retards into bar fights but also if someone is grabbing your wife tits maybe it’s ok to hit them.”

This is a funny one, I feel like it has to stem from some form of selfish fear and can no way work in real life. Imagine walking down a boardwalk with your wife and toddler son and being accosted by a enraged homeless man with a knife, imagine falling back onto your principal teaching of "IM THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE IN A SELF-DEFENSE SITUATION" and immediately high-tailing from your family because you had the option to leave without causing yourself any harm or possible injustice.

this is probably because they are mostly combatives faggots that have no idea how to actually fight. The reality is the only time you should deescalate is when you can't win. and since guys that do krav instead of MMA can't ever win they need to deescalate every situation.

combatives fags have a very hollywood understanding of how attacks really work
never in the history of muggings has there ever actually been someone that walks up and stands in front of you holding a knife or a gun saying hey you! give me all your money or you're gonna regret it!!
they just walk up and attack you, usually they just clobber you over the head immediately and stomp you out then empty your pockets
so this scenario of a guy standing in front of you shaking you down like in alley like it's a movie is already completely unrealistic, might as well go for the gusto and get some reps in

it begs the question of how much do you believe him?
how many people do you know that have been mugged several times?
me personally living in a 3rd world shithole, so I've been in a fair amount of scraps
I'll preface this by saying it's been a few years since I've been in a fight outside of a gym because I'm not a 23 year old retard anymore. Now I'm a somewhat older retard
I've had someone pull a knife out on 3 occasions and every time it was just a bluff and they backed off when they saw I was unbothered
and I wasn't bluffing so much as I was arrogant and over confident but that was enough. they want soft targets, it's usually not worth the trouble if you're gonna give them shit.
in the case of a homeless that was trying to get money from me, he was wearing a katana on his hip believe it or not. I don't know if it was real or not because he never took it out but I found it amusing. He grabbed my arm as I walked by and funny enough I used one of those aikido wrist locks that aren't supposed to work and spun him around then kicked him in the butt
aside from that stuff generally when I would fight with people from the neighborhood it was straight kickboxing all the way, just piece them up
wearing all that safety gear is cool and everything but if they weren't wearing that stuff jeff chan would've literally bodied everybody there. It's giving a false sense of what techniques work since only grappling is effective against an armored target like that

The thing is, he wasn't that interested in self defense stuff beyond explaining "Practice martial arts and physical fitness and you'll be fine" because unlike most of the guys in the competition he had to deal with a lot of that growing up and has revealed a lot of fucked up shit he learned because of it (like how to make improvised boxing gloves in less than 4 seconds so you don't break your hands or cut them while you punch out a guy with a knife) and genuinely does not want to relive that, he was just in it because he finally got to interact with his fellow martial arts YouTubers (Something he didn't get to do because he lives in China where people can't just freely go like the Euros and Americans don't have to deal with).
Meanwhile, pretty much all the other ones are really into that self-defense shit (It's literally IcyMike's business and Seth sucks off the guy, and Rokas established Martial Arts Journey to try and prove that Aikido wouldn't get his ass kicked in a street fight) so he can't even really be on the same wavelength as them.
I don't even think he even got to interact with the ones who he wanted to work with - IIRC he really respected Jesse Enkamp (he consistently calls back to Enkamp's insights on karate and has done a surprising amount to advertise the value of karate as a grappling fundamental), who was initially pitched as being part of it but didn't even get to join. Instead he had to deal with the old midget who went to bat for that sperg Master Wong and his fat lackey (who is consistently outpacing said midge which is some legit Don Quixote and Sancho shit), a retired bogan who was only in it because they needed to fill a space, and Jeff Phillips as the one reasonable guy.
Rokas wants another season and I bet good money Ramsey will not come back for that.

I feel really sorry for Ramsey. To be honest I wished he would have gotten in and steamrolled the whole crew, especially guys like Seth and Rorcas. His performance is soberingly low but I also did not know that he is more or less a walking dead man with all his former injuries.
Its a miracle he still is able to teach and now he is injured again through the stupid Zombie challenge in a way that may kill his career for good, despite being the nicest and wisest of the whole bunch.

>but I also did not know that he is more or less a walking dead man with all his former injuries.
Back even before he went for social media he documented how severely fucked up his career left him.
It's partially WHY he's such a smart fighter, he's actively learned from his mistakes across decades of experience before and after martial arts, and had to figure out how to fight with his handicaps. Even IcyMike admitted in his cope video that Ramsey is a ferocious striker, and if you look in his sparring vids he frequently mangles people decades his junior. Ramsey figured out his limits and how to work within them.
That being said I didn't want him to mog Seth since outside of him treating IcyMike like anything more than a business man, the guy genuinely does seem to recognize and respect experts in general. I did want him to maul the little midge tho.

>Everything I'm about to say, I learned after the fact from the replay footage, because I suffered a major concussion and some short term memory loss as a result of my fight.
>I spent exactly 47 seconds in the cage fighting a Chinese kickboxer named Wang Guan. I had the plan to back him up with my jab, circle him till his back was toward my corner, then shoot in, put him on the floor and finish with some ground and pound and/or a submission.
>It all went well until I had his back up against my corner. I clinched up with him, and then for some reason I can't explain, I just let go. I peppered him with a few more jabs and grazed him with a head kick. Then he threw a body kick which I caught. I've spent so many hours catching kicks and drilling all the ways to throw, trip, submit, or KO an opponent from there. What did I actually do? I paused for a moment and then just let go of the leg. To make matters worse, I threw a body kick of my own which Wang Guan easily caught. Immediately, he capitalized on the trapped leg by throwing two quick punches. The first punch missed completely, but the second just barely connected with my chin at the perfect angle to score a knock out. I fell to the canvas, unconscious already at this point, hitting the back of my head hard on the floor, which caused a concussion. Wang Guan followed up with another right hand to the head before the referee stepped in to stop the fight. That last punch did the real damage. It broke my skull in two places.

>How does a natural lightweight break the hardest part of the human cranium in two places with only one punch? It doesn't add up. I once mounted an opponent in a fight in Xi'An, dropping hard elbows on his forehead for over 2 straight minutes. He walked away with a few bruises and a tiny cut. Keep in mind, I can smash stacks of bricks with my elbows.
>The elbow is one of the hardest, sharpest striking points a martial artist can use. The closer proximity to the body also makes it easier to put your entire body weight behind the strike. So the question is, if I can't break a human skull with full force elbows against a pinned, defenseless opponent with 2 minutes of continuous striking, how the hell does a smaller guy pull that off against me using his fist, standing up, with only one single punch?
>Simple: loaded wraps
>It's no secret that Asian fighters load their wraps for sanda and Muay Thai. There were no rules against it in this part of the world. All the Chinese fighters I saw in the locker room at the RUFF show were loading their wraps with tape over their knuckles, as was their custom for sanda fights, and the Chinese tape inspector was signing off on it without flinching.

>The problem was, this was supposed to be a sanctioned event under unified rules. Unified rules specifically forbid putting any tape over the knuckles because it is dangerous- as evidenced by the fact that I have a hole in my head now. Unified rules also specify that hands can only be wrapped with no more 10 feet of 2" gauze and 10 feet of 1" medical tape.
>Each fighter in the RUFF show was also supplied with a 15 yard roll of red or blue elastic adhesive tape. This colored tape was meant only to seal the velcro strap on the outside of the glove and to denote whether the fighter was in the red or blue corner. Most MMA shows use either colored duct tape, colored vinyl tape, or the same athletic tape used to wrap hands. This was problematic because the Chinese fighters used the elastic adhesive to tape their hands in addition to the the gauze and medical tape, no only breaking the rules, but also giving themselves an unfair and dangerous advantage by further solidifying their fists.
>Normally, when a human hand strikes a solid object, the many bones and soft tissue of the hand bend and bow around the target. When the hand is tightly wrapped in layers of contracting elastic adhesive tape, the hand can no longer shift position around the target, instead, it retains it's shape, penetrating the target even deeper.
>There are lots of ways to load wraps, but the most common in southeast Asia is to make a small cast of the knuckles with tape over the front of the fist. This is reinforced with alternating layers of gauze and tape over the knuckles, often with ropes made of twisted strips of tape between the knuckles. The end result is a hard cast that makes the fist into a hammer. It's illegal in the USA and most other countries with sanctioning bodies to put anything over the knuckles except for fresh gauze.

>With a 12oz boxing glove, a loaded wrap has the effect of transforming a hard, but padded punch into an extra solid bludgeoning weapon, highly increasing the chances of a KO, cuts, and all the other ravages of blunt force trauma. With a 4oz-6oz non-padded MMA glove, loaded wraps are roughly the equivalent of getting hit with brass knuckles.
>My skull looks a lot like this one now. The difference is, the depression on my forhead is more to the right side, and the hairline fracture is also on the right side. (anterior table of the frontal sinus- the most fracture resistant part of the face) The corrective surgery would have required the temporary removal of my face, it would have been horribly scarring, and the doctors said there was a high chance it would not fix the problem. So, I opted against it and I'm seeking a second opinion.
>Ordinarily, if a non-reinforced fist collides with a forehead, the hand will break long before the cranium sustains any damage. The human hand is made up of 27 small fragile bones, whereas the cranium is one hard, dense, curved bone designed to deflect and withstand impact in order to protect the brain.
>In theory, there are 2 purpose of gloves in combat sports: 1. to protect the athletes' hands from injury. 2. To soften the blow to an opponent and reduce friction, reducing the likelihood of cuts and other serious injuries.
>However, loaded wraps change the second function of gloves to the following: 3. To provide just enough of a buffer between the hardened cast on the fighter's hands and his opponent's face to cause maximum damage. Because sometimes, a knock out simply won't do. Sometimes you need a maiming. Apparently, full contact fighting isn't dangerous enough already in southeast Asia.

>Well, Wang Guan got the win, and I got a near death experience and an unexpected early retirement from combat sports. I'm bummed for a lot of reasons. One, I love to compete- MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, K1, sanda, submission grappling, boxing, taekwondo, sport karate, wrestling, whatever. And suddenly I can't do any of that anymore. I had two more fights coming up, one later this month and another next month. It's also my livelihood. Fighting was a huge part of how I get paid.
>I've seriously been trying to look on the bright side, and so far the best I've come up with is that I never have to cut weight again. I hate cutting weight. When I was competing in the USA I fought at, or above my walking around weight. When i fought at 155, I actually weighed 155 lbs. When I fought at 170, I weighed 165. When I fought at 185, I only weighed 171lbs. Most American fighters cut down one weight class in hopes of being a little bigger. I didn't start cutting weight seriously until I moved to China.
>That's ironic because Chinese fighters rarely cut weight. If they fight at 70kg, they usually walk around at 70kg, for example. In Chinese fight shows, the fighters are usually meet at a catch-weight. As long as there's no more than a 5kg difference between the fighters, they call it good.
>So why did I start cutting weight here? Simple- Asian fighters tend to be much smaller than their American counterparts. Promoters from China, Mongolia, and Singapore would offer me fights at 64kg (70kg at the most) when I was walking around closer to 75kg. The only way to compete was to cut weight.
>I should write a blog on how to safely and effectively cut weight and put it back on. There's a lot to cover on that subject, and going about it the wrong way can be dangerous.

Seth was probably one of the best at this, despite him getting zero points his techniques for taking down the knife guy were better than just running them into a wall and trying to pin their arm down. Throwing or taking them down seems much better and it seemed to work well except for getting stabbed a few times in the back (in reality those would probably be more like flesh founds instead of fatal internal wounds since you would have to pass through multiple layers of muscle and rib)

Well that's the problem with using a marker as an analogue for a knife
They're fighting against a knife with fully permeable invisible blade of unspecified length that has both no mass and infinite mass at the same time and a friction coefficient of 0
These niggas out here fighting against quantum knives
It's a dishonest test. While imperfect at the very least they needed to have training knife with dye on where the sharp part of the blade would be.
As it stands they were asked to do a physical exercise against an object that doesnt physically exist in the space.
you know what is completely valid technique is grabbing the blade of a knife if it means directing it away from your vital organs and just getting your hands fucked up while you try to wrestle it away

Personal opinion, if they made it like a wet paint brush or something, it'd work more authetnically since the brush has a length that can more accurately simulate a blade touching you and can be shoved "down to the hilt" and look visibly apparent.

How do I know this? because I have a WHITE BELT in my gym with 2 amateur fights against a 0-0 and a 1-0 opponent and made a pro debut in bellator 6 months later.

The entire thing was pretty flawed from the start. Really obvious tactics were presented and then not used, as if they were given extra rules and restrictions that we as the viewers weren't told about. There was also the 70% intensity thing instantly giving even more of an advantage to the attackers. You can punch/kick/grapple at 70%. You can even stab at 70% since the knives are fake. You can't bludgeon someone over the head with a fire extinguisher or push them down the stairs at 70%. So you have the choice to either ignore that rule and risk seriously injuring someone who isn't actually trying to hurt you, or do what Matt did and "theoretically kick them in the face" and hope that they honor it (which they apparently don't).

He's always dipped his toes in other stuff outside of his very sanitary little dojo like when he practiced Muay Thai for a bit. I don't think Jesse's a great fighter but he's if nothing else got the heart for it and that might make a difference. Plus the goal for him isn't gonna be to look better than Jeff and Natan (They're easily gonna top 2), his goal is to just look better than the other guys on the list.

That’s his mma record. I know in an older video he made he talked about how the whole reason he moved to china was because they had more opportunities to fight as a kickboxer than in America. I haven’t been able to find his kickboxing record online but regardless I don’t really think three professional wins and then setting up your own martial arts school is a “failure”

In his retirement blog, well before his YouTube channel, he actually explained that among other things, he was always fighting well-below his natural weight class because the average Chinaman was a good 10kg lighter than him. Combine that with shit like loaded wraps and it's pretty easy to take some pretty heavy losses.
That being said, I also concur with >>148891 - the best coaches aren't always the best fighters. You know how many fights Cus D'Amato had? One. An amateur fight, that he lost.

i haven't watched much of his content, even the martial arts related stuff, but he seems pretty humble and aware of the limitations and current state of TMAs like the one he's trained in. from what i vaguely remember, the kung fu ranking was meant at least half jokingly.
to be frank i just don't like the guy as a personality: his voice, manner of speaking, sense of humor, and accent rub me the wrong way. maybe that'll change if i see him in season 2. jeff chan seemed kinda dull and boring as an internet personality to me at first, but he had some cool/funny moments in season 1, so he's growing on me a little bit.

You underestimate what a sharp knife does to human flesh. We butcher wild game, trust me meat isn't all that strong. A drag cut with a properly sharp blade across your chest will open you up so deep you'd see your own ribs as the flesh gapes open. Doesn't need a swing or a windup at all, just needs to be against your body with a medium amount of force and then moved across you. Stabs don't require much force to go in deep either. You could easily pop a 6 inch blade into someone's armpit otlr between their ribs with less force than your average sparring punch. Knives will tear you to shreds and punch holes in you very easily brother make no mistake. Check some Brazil or South Africa videos and you'll see how people bleed out to literal lovetaps from knives.

Didn't know he was a hapa since he keeps calling himself "chinese man" or "shaolin monk" (which was always a big meme). He's like the hapa version of moistcritical in that he never talk about anything in depth and only regurgitates reddit-tier group think. I can already expect him to come out of it saying "I was really humbled, this really shows that you need to train realistically" for his retarded fans to lap up.

You just gotta look at his side profile and you can tell he's only half-Chinese. Look at his fucked up skull and schnozz. Plus it's clear any time he spent in China was a lot more periphery than he claims - at best he was only there for Shaolin. He can't actually read Mandarin or Cantonese, he can barely speak it (he gets incredibly flustered whenever Chinarunes show up in something and people ask him to translate), and he always deflects when people ask him about life in China outside of Shaolin. He was probably born and raised in Germany and wanted to get in touch with his "roots" and fucked off to China for a few years. I unironically believe Ramsey Dewey has lived in China for longer than Ranton ever has.
