Fun fact: Only way to get a hug from Jocko is to get your black belt.
That was a body lock

You posted your comment 47 minutes ago and got 47 upvotes, impressive
Dude that’s fuckin hilarious
Incredible comment.
Jocko may be the only case in history where someone uses the word “behold” seriously and it works. Shit was epic.
Ohhhh YES!!!!
At least after the year 500
That was straight out of a Viking invasion
That made me want to run through a brick wall.
@@brandonmontalvo9364 Lol!!!
I love how Jocko makes everything medieval level epic
Like shitting in a bucket 💯
1:32 BEHOLD
"BEHOLD!" - That was viking as fuck. ⚔️
That was viking AF good call.
That was cringeworthy AF 🤦♂️
@@masters8536 I wish I would take the opinion of someone with a video game avatar serious 😂😂
@@masters8536 You took it "serious" enough to directly address me, son. Hold this L 😂😂
@@masters8536 Another intelligent response... A real rhode scholar we have here 😂😂
Congrats to Echo Charles for earning a black belt especially with skinny knees.
hey man, skinny knees is a terrible affliction that affects a lot more people than you know. Its not a handicap, they can accomplish just as much as the rest of us.
Getaway sticks
@@ayron419
The struggle is real
I had skinny knees once. I still do, but I did back then too.
Knees is a damn bone.
Word on the street is that Echo only started Jiu-Jitsu all of those years ago to finally get a hug from Jocko one day.
Don’t focus on “The Hug”
@@jfr45er exactly 🤣
He said fuck the "bro hug" I'm getting my black belt for the full two arm hug.
@@jfr45er best damn comment on youtube.
More men have probably summited Everest than gotten a hug from Jocko.
I LOVE that you can see the most hardcore of men get emotional when they accomplish something they have worked SO hard for!
Men are equally, if not more emotional than women but society has taught them to suppress their emotions. Most aggression from men doesn't just come from being a man and thus having more testosterone but also from constantly suppressing their emotions which then bottle up and can cause occasional outbursts of anger.
@@laaaliiiluuu I have tantrums daily so I'm all good.
@@jsj381 Then you should figure out what causes those tantrums. Calming the mind by solving the cause and practicing meditation is worth more than gold. I used to have tantrums all the time until I stopped eating refined carbohydrates, started to exercise and meditate, get involved with a profession I am passionate about as well as a lot of self-reflection and therapy to solve the reasons for my suppressed anger. It's a lot of work but it's worth it. Time passes anyway. In five years you will have wished that you started today.
@@laaaliiiluuu More emotional than women? You must not have had alot of women around you in your life. They operate on emotions & process things with feelings first, & logic after.
Now I think to some extend because men aren't emotional as often, they might expierence emotions deeper of harder when they feel them.
That last part I'm not sure about but men are def not more emotional than women. Thats one thing I do know
@@buuriwinsto3471 Deeper emotions is what I meant. Sorry for being inaccurate. But I guess it depends on what "more" means: Quantity or quality? Men e.g. have a harder time getting over breakups. But yeah, I will be more accurate the next time.
IF anyone can get this message out to Echo..... please send him my love. I am a long time friend from his past and I havent seen him since 1997. He and his twin brother were at University of Hawaii. They were the only beast athletes that gave me a nod and always were kind to me. They used to run on the football field with fkng parachutes attatched to themselves lol...beasts forever!!!! Please send them my love. When they met me...i was 265 pounds...im now 195 and healthy and loving life. they made a huge impact on that....congrats Echo, love you man
He has his own UA-cam channel. You can slap it right there.
@@dominus6224 can u send it to me please
@@realgrowing4208 ua-cam.com/video/MGldTw-V9cE/v-deo.html
"BEHOLD!"
I love it.
That shit was scary 😂
@@rymartin Bro i legit thought the same thing 😭😭 like that shit legitimately frightened me. Imagine being on a battlefield with him and he just comes out of nowhere with that type of energy.
Brought me to tears. Another Black belt is born! It’s a triumph for us all.
@@RandomVidz690 imagine he was just holding a skull and screaming that shit on the battlefield covered in blood
@@gonzaloayala2008 hahaha it's not difficult to imagine. Jocko is a unit.
I dont know whats more awesome, Echo getting his black belt or finally getting a hug from Jocko.
Why do you think he got his black belt haha
@@harrykeobounhom8356 lol
His back still hurts bro.
Both are equally as important my friend
Me neither, I think they are about the same level of awesomeness.
When Jocko looked into the camera and gave that intense “BEHOLD” I peed my pants a little
u should see a doctor about that.
@@andrabook8758 nah, i think YOU should see a doctor
@@wokekoala3888 good comeback!
I think I peed my pants laughing at your comment. 🤣
@@erob8347 i pee my pants just for fun all the time.
Everyone: do we celebrate?
Jocko: we train to celebrate
We celebrate...with a hunt!
Then celebrate to train
Snapple fact: Jocko wasn’t hugging Echo, Echo fainted, and he was holding him up to carry him through 6 more rounds.
Man, watching others succeed is so fantastic. Well done. What a man to get a belt from.
I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who feels that way
From Jocko and Dean! Nice
I wouldn’t know the feeling 😭
@@bushisback112 maybe start training jiu jitsu.
Well said and very true.
1:55 such an awesome crowd, hootin and hallerin, the second he gets ready to don his belt they go silent!
That pride and respect for the dojo, the art, the accomplishment, and a black piece of material is incredible
When Jocko looked at the camera and yelled “BEHOLD” it shook my core.
If this was for a jiu jiitsu promotion, I can't imagine how epic his pre-combat speeches were. Congrats, Echo!
Fax
he is reincarnation of Leonidas
@Brian Hess no it’s joo jietsoo
Bro you see Jocko’s Ted Talk? Shit was… awe inspiring.
This was actually a low key jiu-jitsu belt speach. The are usually longer & get way more emotional. This was done prior to training, usually the are done after or during training, so the probably desparate to start training 😅
This is what I want to be. A good man, in a good community. That’s all I want out of life. Congratulations Echo Charles, you earned it.
Then you already are. If your aspirations are to be good and do good, you have already conquered evil. Too many people fall prey to the trappings and draw of the garbage they see on the screen. Turn it off, help your fellow man and know there are plenty of us that stand with you! WWG1WGA!!
@@johnvicks7153 Well said
Brother I could not agree with this statement more. Took the words from my head and put them out in a post I was meant to see. Thank you.
I love that Jocko almost seems more happy about his friend's accomplishment than Echo himself.
I love listening to Jocko Willink and Echo Charles. They are for sure Black Belt Instructors.
I think i just formed a tear in my non shooting eye
The training paid off lol
Now that's a reference lol.
Again, Jiu Jitsu provides another great lesson as Mr. Charles mentioned. "Don't focus on the belt."
If you focus on the belt, then your happiness and satisfaction depends on the belt promotion. Hence, the journey becomes a miserable struggle and as he said "your jiu jitsu becomes worse." Instead, focus on becoming a better grappler and the belt will come as a result of that.
The same in life. Goals are not bad, but often times we set a lot of goals and our happiness, satisfaction and sense of achievement are dependent on achieving those goals. Instead, we can focus on becoming better in the aspects that matter to us, and those goals will be achieved as a result of us simply getting better. This is the only way to truly enjoy the journey and be present in the moment.
Great point. Thank you!
I’m working towards a certification and this applies on so many levels.
Scott Adams talks about the same in his book, he advocates systems over goals. focus on the goal (belt) you are in a state of perpetual failure.
@@zv8291 I picked it up in James Clear's book "Atomic Habits". This principle seems to be popular, which is good. We need more successful people.
I concur.
The way Jocko says "behold!" tells me why his hugs are hard to come by. Congrats to Echo Charles!
Jocko is one the Best Leaders I’ve seen in my lifetime. Echo is fucking awesome also. Congrats man.
Congratulations Echo!
Jocko even hugged you back!
He was closing distance
I could actually FEEL the love and respect between Jocko and Echo through my computer screen. Congratulations Echo! OSS!
nice to see how genuinely happy everyone is for echo
Been training jiujitsu for almost 25 years and 9 of those were as a white belt because of moving and no legit gyms back then. Finally got my black belt in 2013 and it was great!
My wife and I were talking about bucket lists the other day now that our youngest child went away to college. I think I’m adding to one day roll with Jocko and Echo. I just think they’re good people and would be a good roll!
Damn, Echo got his black belt. Congratulations!! I may have shed tears of joy
This was an epic night at camp. I was so grateful to be in the room for this moment.
Merica!!
Damn, that's incredible. Oh and that "Behold!" was bone-chillingly awesome. I would not want that dude after me. Lol
What Echo Charles said about not focusing directly on the belt touched a soft spot in my heart for something challenging in my life I’m working up to. We glance at the tall mountain and think it’s going take forever to get up it. But if we put out head down and focus on each step we’re usually surprised when we reach the top and say that wasn’t as hard as I thought and I can’t believe I was all the way down there.
One of my favorite bonds is the bond between Jocko and echo Charles. I imagine Dean's pride in having students like those two. Congrats to all 3.
So Dean is the topdog here?
@@RoisinT2 none of us are the top dog over each other my bro
@@RoisinT2 as dean said no he’s not the top dog but he’s the most accomplished grappler there one of the best grapplers in our era not to take anything away from the rest of the gym there would be lots of talented grapplers but dean was born for it
@@milky3hunna "the most accomplished / thee who gives belts" soo, hes the "top dog" over there. 🤭 Thats only what i meant, in every gym there is always the one.
I welled up at this moment. I couldn't imagine how great that felt. Echo Charles. Congratulations sir. 😭
i legit teared up for this man who i never met. i love them both so much from their podcast and I could not be happier. So happy i caught this.
Caught this again a year later and teared up immedely, yet again.
@@Mike-hn4uuyou need to get ahold of yourself and start building meaningful relationships with people around you in real life. You shouldn't be this emotionally invested in someone who doesn't know you exist.
@@StewartLucrative I’ve listened to hundreds of hours of their podcasts and gained so much from them and their guests… but you’re right, I should take your advice because you seem to be doing so well in life
@@Mike-hn4uu I'm not forming parasocial relationships with podcasts hosts aka advertisers like you are. So I think in that respect I'm doing better than you.
@@StewartLucrative congratulations!!!
Echo Charles is a solid looking dude with the softest voice. Congratulations Echo Charles
I think a lot of us Troopers were nearly as excited for Echo as he was when he received this. It was a long time coming. Oss!
More important than the black belt, Echo finally got his hug. ^^
please stop. i am trying so hard not to say anything sarcastic....so very, very hard.....mainly bc I'm honestly worried he'll cry.....these comments are not helping.
When you don't focus on the belt you get a belt! This is great real life advice for anything. How your dreams come to pass is non of your concern. Do the work. Focus on the work and your dreams will follow you. Excellent and inspiring message. Let the penny drop!
What an amazing speaker, I can only imagine the speeches he gave in war
Was there 3 years ago. Awesome time.
Congrats to Echo Charles on his black beltch
The guy in Blue : "What do we do now? Where do we go? ".
Jocko : "Actually I do know ........... WE TRAIN!!!! ".
3:37
When I started listening to Jocko's podcast I think Echo was just a blue belt. Man, that's so awesome. He looks so emotional and rightfully so. That's such an amazing accomplishment to proud of. That man has grinded for many years. Well deserved. Congrats Echo. 🤙🏾
Them cheering is the closest thing I have ever heard to Vikings.
Nah, viking clap in Iceland is the closest you'll ever hear

This was during the 2019 Origin Jiu Jitsu Immersion Camp. Still awesome to see again, congrats.
Thanks, I thought Echo already had his black belt.
is it normal for ppl to cry during these things? just curious.
@@andrabook8758 I prob would if it was my black belt. 10+ years it takes in jiu jitsu to earn it
@@Feldsomethin ok.
@@Feldsomethin hmmm, i played sports for longer than that and it never occured to me to do the crying thing. Interesting....I will leave it there.
This is the sickest black belt promotion I’ve ever seen
What an amazing moment to share with Echo and everyone !!! Thanks for putting this up 🙏👊
They're like silver backs in gis. They're girillas
You're a genius, ahahahah!
Yeah bro!!!
Tssss or like fawkin......wait I got one uhhh......fawkin jiujitsuPANZEES tssssss
hiyooooo!
I haven't felt this much emotion since my initial viewing of The Fox and The Hound.
talk about feels..
These always make me tear up just a little, such a great moment in life for those who can appreciate.
I had tears in my eyes. Man it makes me proud to see others succeed. 🙌 the energy in that room is off the charts! 💚💯
Dean surveying the room “I could kill hiiiim I could kill him I could kill hiiiiiiiiim ohh I could one hundred percent kill him”
😂👍🏻
Hahahah I heard that in my head as I read it
Nah... DL can kill everyone in the room. Pretty sure he's trying not to think about it at this point.
@@mikek9297 ahahahaha so you mean it’s not contemplation I see in his eyes it’s a frantic effort to keep it at bay ahaha
He was 13-7 in MMA. Iirc he never got KO'd or tapped all the losses were decisions.
A whole room full of warriors, imagine no one messes with the cars in that parking lot
Their CATs are definitely not worth it!
Actually those are the worst parking lots. Tweekers lurking everywhere
What a feeling this must be for him. Like a great physique .. or being a master of an instrument … it can’t be bought . Earning shit that you’ve worked your ass off for day after day for YEARS is such an accomplishment. All the missed occasions , all the frustration , literal blood sweat and tears ... all of the consistent showing up when it’s the last thing you want to do .. and then you have your day .. it’s truly so beautiful, and far to few will ever know this life altering feeling. With that said .. Congrats man ! Well deserved 🙏💪.
So much love. Keep going strong guys. You’re an inspiration to all of us.
Congrats Echo! Love having you be a part of the show. Your humility is inspirational and you're a great 'Yin for Jocko's Yang'. Jocko, of course you're a bloody legend. Love your wisdom and so many things. My son and I learn from you every day. Thank you for your service.
IM CRYING MY EYES OUT BUT OF PURE LOVE FOR THE SPORT AND THE PEOPLE INVOLVED THE PAIN THE ADVERSITY AND THE TRIUMPH ALL MY LOVE AND RESPECT . 10PHQ THE YARD MUAY THAI
This is what "earning" looks like, this where the blood and sweat finally give way to tears. Congrats, I am sure this was something that you literally fought your way up to get to.
Congratulations Echo. Been watching the podcast for a while now. Happy to see this.
Dude the energy jocko was bringing when he held the belt🤣🤣. Fucking epic
"BEHOLD!"
Damnit! I am tearing up! Congrats Mr. Charles!
Congratulations Echo Charles! You and Jocko are a huge inspiration to me and the main reason I got my white belt after 45 years.
There’s some seriously sad individuals out there that would give this particular video a thumbs down rating. Tossers.
I started on “the path” after inspiration from the two of you. Congratulations!
Imagine having to follow up on jockos little inspirational speech while being an emotional mess thinking "oh i gotta say some deep cool shit now" :D echo barely got it together and a few words out... love it :D
Love to see the people who inspire us show real emotion. Belated Congratulations Echo to staying on The Path.
That's the most emotion I have ever seen Jocko display, and it was for the success of his friend. Righteous!
I’ve watched a ton of Jocko’s content and have the utmost respect for him. I can’t even imagine what the intensity of his speeches were like during active combat. Congrats to Echo!
Congrats EC! Always inspiring to see hard work, humility, and DISCIPLINE rewarded.
Congrats Echo! Behold!
Man this whole video is good for the soul. We are all very proud.
Brings back memories of when I got my black belt. There's nothing easy on that path, and my congrats go out to him for his accomplishment. I hope he continues his training. Good job, sir.
I would like to challenge you... not jujitsu.. But to a hot dog eating contest ... then if you're really good I'll take you out
My dogs would love a hotdog eating contest. No thanks on the dinner date invite.
Damn, got me emotional for EC! Congrats.
Dang! This is motivating!
Wow this brought tears to My eyes aswell. So much respect to you guys. And thanks allot for All the Great Work you been doing ! Its certainly brought allot og value to My Life . ! Echo your the man
Congrats, it's an emotional thing when you receive your black belt from your professor. All those hard years of training come to fruition.
But the learning never stops the journey continues, and your game starts again, and you start to evolve.
Congrats Echo it's a special night one you will never forget OSSsssss
Congratulations Echo Charles!
This is a proud moment for us, as well as you.
Keep up the hard work!
You inspire many.
This is the kind of shit that makes a grown man tear up. 😎🤏
How could anyone dislike this video. Amazing video amazing moment! Awesome bro. Congrats Echo!
Jocko Willink is the only Black Belt holder where every spectrum of the light bounces back from it to show respect.
Rumor has it he’s still recovering from broken ribs from that hug
Watching a stranger receive a black belt from Jocko just gave me tears.
Fml
Yeah, I’m depressed too lol
They are no strangers to each other
@@gcoffey223 Pretty sure he meant the person receiving the black belt is a “stranger” to him personally.
So grateful that I got to experience this live!
So much pride fills my heart when I see videos like this
Congrats! I’m so happy for him, echo is awesome
Awesome! I rolled with Echo a few times back in '06 at The Boxing Club SD. Really good dude that helped me learn BJJ. Great partner.
seeing the joy in Jockos face..... Man awesome...... congratulations Echo Charles
Oh my gosh, I love this so much. ❤ That's definitely some raw emotion there. ❤ A well-deserved moment!
We need more Echoes!
Well done Echo Charles! Wonderful achievement, deservedly earned and graciously accepted! Best foot forward!
why am I crying? From the heart, well deserved.
Because, brother, this is what we are all longing for and so deeply lacking in our lives these days in these complicated times, brotherhood where men build up one another because we know the Corps, our communities and our families are better if we do so… so that when we part ways and return to our respective homes and cities we carry that codified ethos with us. I will tell you that’s one thing about getting out of the Marine Corps, or any branch of service I’m sure, that you really miss.. the camaraderie, the brotherhood… Each man is looking out for the other and would do anything to see you succeed and be stronger. We don’t have that in these modern days because we lack fortitude and community. Post modern American culture is hyperindividualistic. There’s nothing wrong with individualism, but when it’s gone as far as it has in our culture a sickness overcomes us as men… we yearn for connection with brothers in the race of man and when we don’t find that we shrivel up, we die inside… we have no one with whom to sit around the fire and tell war stories, hunting stories, and of great journeys. And really no one to even do those three things with in the first place. Men who strive and suffer together become bonded for life. That’s just something lost today; not totally, but it is exceedingly uncommon. This is why so many men are depressed, emasculated, down trodden, compromised, feel lost, find no solace in work and life today. We need more of this, brotherhood. Iron sharpening iron… men building up men, from the weakest among us to the strongest amongst us, with loving kindness, compassion, and patience but with firmness and uncompromising standards. Every city in America should have an organization like this, that doesn’t cost money, but wherein we all come together and agree to teach one another important skills because education in America is failing, and young men are being forced to compromise their masculinity in order to be “acceptable” by society. That is unsat! What if we taught each other business, taxes and business law, first aid, woodworking and metal working skills, mechanical skills, automotive skills, how to write well for the sake of resumes and work, how to speak foreign languages to get ahead in the workplace and find more opportunities… call it the Whole Man Society. (Unless something by that name already exists and it’s something really weird or controversial). If men sharpened men to be greater than they are today and become a whole man, built up in mind, body and spirit, there’s nothing we could not do as a nation, because a nation is comprised of people, not governments and politicians.
Congrats E.C. You deserve it bro. Good job staying on the path. 2 of my favorite guys right there. Jocko and Echo out. 👊💙🇺🇲
I remember back when this happened. Shit was so epic
"If you don't focus on a belt, you get a...belt!" - A wise man
yes, i think i saw that in Karate kid
This is my favorite video of all time.
this is why i love watching black belt ceremonies.. i actually feel some of it with the guys.. great shit.. bravo.
It's so true what Echo said! Focus on the belt and you don't get one. I wasn't focused on getting a belt & I just got my purple not too long ago..
To the man not clapping at 2:21: so I see you have chosen death by arm lock.
He looks like he’s not having any fun 😂😂😂.
Look out for those people in your life. They wish no good upon you
I noticed him too, but after rewatching the clip, judging by how his hands were placed, i think he just stopped clapping earlier than others.
I think he was just taking it in very seriously
It's hard to assume what's going through his head. Maybe he's going through a divorce, his pet has died and he's still dragged himself in for Echo's grading and then gotten destroyed by everyone and now his brain is fried and he forgot to clap cause his mind was elsewhere. Anything is possible. If he really is a bad person then Jocko will know. I'll give him a pass on that one.
Love how Jocko said speak up. What I heard is Talk with you man voice! Congratulations Echo.
huge...huge...huge accomplishment. great work Mr. Echo Charles.
