Dude homeboy is freakin amazing with his quickness and power. I’m 52 and thinking about trying something. Very inspiring. No more excuses just get started.
He looks like loan executor, hardened criminal, old sailor etc. You'd have to be less than sane to go against this hunk, even with a knife. Even in a clinch, very dangerous, lots of force behind knees and shoulders. As to headbutts, they kinda sorta work, but problem is, if you do not knock them out you maybe broke their nose or chapped the lip. Followup is harder too because when you're hitting you''re not seeing a thing. Compare that to a neck strike (dead or out), plexus strike (dead or out, winded), hard elbow strike (broken bones or maybe dead), knee (structure broken), kick inside the leg (structure broken). It is fast but not always effective. The other strikes are essentially just as quick, so why settle for less.
He seems like a really nice guy too. That is what I have the highest respect for. Guys that are deadly but their also humble. And obviously he has alot of power but I was also impressed with the speed that he moved with, using his whole body to pack that wallop
Again great guest! Great example of fitness and power and a very outgoing person. Hope to see him more. Could be a good idea to bring more guests once in a while.
I’m 57 as well. Have been training and teaching old school Tae Kwon Do and coaching boxing since I was eighteen. I believe that supplementing ma training with a serious weight training program gives great results even in the later years. Maintaining cardio, flexibility and the integrity of your joints is essential at every age , but especially if you want to be game in your later years. Nice vid.
I've been looking for great displays of power, so I can take something from the body mechanics. This is one of the most sick displays of power I've come across. Some of those slaps broke the sound barrier lol. Wish you could have shown his full body, as well as some tips from him how to generate power. This is nuts. He's super relaxed to
DEVASTATING POWER AND STRIKES, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I WOULD NOT WANT TO MEET ANY GUYS LIKE THESE TWO IN A DARK ALLY. DAMMNNN.....THOSE STRIKES ARE JUST SCARY.
Wow....I'm a trainer and man that guy is scary lol Soooooo powerful ! Nick always looks like he is in fast forward lol So much respect for both of these gentlemen.
Is there a part II ?? it seems the guy did not finish speaking ... and can he tell us about his past fights, i guess at 57 years old, you have some story to share about fights ... Thanks
White , bald and tatts- I'd say he would of had a few. Not to many once word got around if you want to get fucked up call this man out. Nice clean fast technique
I would love to know what kind of training he's been doing throughout his life, his power and ability to be explosive are very impressive. especially for a man that's nearly 60 years old. Absolutely amazing.
This is why you dont mess with the Special Forces types (SAS, Delta, SEALS, Royal Marines Commando,Canadian Airborne) Was he in the Canadian Airborne before '95? he's got the commando tattoo either that or the Queen's Own Rifles Parachute unit
CIIR I agree with you, But sometimes you won't be able or nor should you pick your fights, but at times it will be inevitable that you meet up and come up against such quality as these guys so you do have to keep in mind that you will meet such people and just do the best you can and have training and luck on your side also. I have family members like these two and they are very intimidating and know their shit.
@@alaingravel I'm 55. Bro you're indeed an inspiration for us. I'm sure a lot of young punks must have gotten their ass kicked by picking on you, thinking a guy 60+ can't fight 😁
About the dummy. Other than it's usefulness for providing a targeting shape, how is it for general workouts? Would this be an effective replacement for a heavy bag, or is really for precision training?
Oh my god... awesome video...look at the power...have great respect for him, for the way he has kept his body in such perfect condition... could you also share sir s workout videos...
Hey Nick how ya doin?, I really dig this video, this guy is the same age as I and holy smokes he can hit! I enjoyed the information he had to offer thank you both 👍👍
that was very informating Nick but i always go with the body punches ... especialy the ribcage punch ive finished a couple of fights with ribcage single punch , its not a KO but its enough to put him down for a few minutes
Hahaha yesss this wat I'm talkin bout, age ain't nuthin but a number , this guy is fo real lots of power when he strikes , yur doin real gud with these videos nick, ay cud yu do video on active shooter , I was hanging out at some club yesterday, crowded as hell and yu cud barely get thru anywhere in becuz of the crowd, jus thinking bout self defense, wat wud I do in tht situation when yu cud barely run , jus one of my video request, but this is a kick ass video , keep up the gud work
Nick, tell Allaine to make some how to videos, and post the link!!! Would be great to see his footwork. How he uses his body. Maybe his advice on developing that technique .
To Alain: don't you hate it when people say "He's so ooooold and that he's in shape is sooo inspiring!"? LOL. I bet that Alain wasn't thinking about his age until you mentioned it. Now he's thinking "Fuck." :)
Alain Gravel J'ai bien aimé ce que tu avais a montrer. Si jamais tu as envie de montrer des choses par vidéo, ca m'intéresserait de les écouter. As-tu de l'avis pour aider à développer la vitesse et la force explosive que tu démontre?
Francis, je vais faire d'autre vidéo avec Nick plus tard. Sur mon facebook, j'en ai si tu es intéressé. Je joue beaucoup avec le mental (visualisation) qui aide beaucoup et j'utilise des poids de 3 a 15 lbs pour les body shot, jab, cross, hook, uppercut, elbows... Je fais beaucoup des tabata training et des circuits, comme par example 5 X 5 full chin up, 5 X 5 leg up au plafond sans soutiens pour le dos, 5 X 7 bar dip, 5 X 12 push up sur un medicine ball de 12 lbs, 5 X 5 push up sur un bras etc... et un autre circuit 5 X 5 full pull up, etc... Je fais beaucoup de conditionnement... Je prend un morceau de bois entouré d'une serviette et j'endurci en le frappant avec mes poing, le côté de la main et la main (palm strike) des centaines de coups,,, Beaucoup de shin kick, knees, push kick etc.... :)
Thanks for food for thought ... Your. Philosophy on making it your own is the concept of jeet kun do.. Swimming on dry land .. Love your channel.. Keep up the good work.. May God bless you on your journey. Death is is the greatest liberation dying to b your ego and allowing nature to take its place.. Some one should speak on over comming nerves ,you can posses all the technique and get out bluffed by a poker face.. Please elaborate..
Dear Nick. How about doing a "car talk" about your thoughts about combatives/fma/kali/arnis. I can se you implement some of it's concepts, which makes me happy :) Fan from DK
that is one old school bad ass right there. its hard.....hard to move those dummies like that...that is insane. We hit them with batons and they dont move like that.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's that old man strength! NOT to be fucked with! You young ones who think that just because someone is much older can't hit like some younger person, you are dead fuckin' wrong!
M Just don't make him angry, and everything all right. One thing is for sure, if I was put on jail,i wouldn't like to have this guy behind me when am shower

Dude homeboy is freakin amazing with his quickness and power. I’m 52 and thinking about trying something. Very inspiring. No more excuses just get started.
Yes sir 💪
That's the type of guy you'd see on the street getting attacked by 5 20 year olds and he just beats the living hell out of them
Nick Drossos DAMN this guy can hit!!!!
JDoactive did you notice that one tatoo sais canada
He looks like loan executor, hardened criminal, old sailor etc. You'd have to be less than sane to go against this hunk, even with a knife. Even in a clinch, very dangerous, lots of force behind knees and shoulders.

Not if they have a gun, right?
@@jeromed2 ...only cowards use guns.
Wow, that guys striking power is scary
Yes its insane!
He seems like a really nice guy too. That is what I have the highest respect for. Guys that are deadly but their also humble. And obviously he has alot of power but I was also impressed with the speed that he moved with, using his whole body to pack that wallop

Again great guest!
Great example of fitness and power and a very outgoing person.
Hope to see him more.
Could be a good idea to bring more guests once in a while.
i seen my uncle use open palm strikes on someone back on the early 80's, i was shocked on how effective it was. awesome power.
Now I'm afraid to be bullied by elder people. Thanks for nothing, Nick Drossos.
Arkanthrall But look at him? He looks no where near 57. Ageism is wrong people, ask Bruce Lee.
I’m 57 as well. Have been training and teaching old school Tae Kwon Do and coaching boxing since I was eighteen. I believe that supplementing ma training with a serious weight training program gives great results even in the later years. Maintaining cardio, flexibility and the integrity of your joints is essential at every age , but especially if you want to be game in your later years. Nice vid.
Alain is amazing, would love to see him in more videos!
soon as I noticed the Canadian Airborne tat i thought.. "yeah this guy is going to fuck shit up."
really great explosive power, obviously has a broader grasp of combatives principals.
impressive
Gorgeous. The intensity of it! Very entertaining, too - the way Nick participates in the background LOL!
Thanks
This gentleman should have his own channel great content.
I've been looking for great displays of power, so I can take something from the body mechanics. This is one of the most sick displays of power I've come across. Some of those slaps broke the sound barrier lol. Wish you could have shown his full body, as well as some tips from him how to generate power. This is nuts. He's super relaxed to
Damn! Yup. I don't want to ever have to fight against someone who strikes like he does.
Just one of those palm strikes can turn anyone's lights out.
DEVASTATING POWER AND STRIKES, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I WOULD NOT WANT TO MEET ANY GUYS LIKE THESE TWO IN A DARK ALLY. DAMMNNN.....THOSE STRIKES ARE JUST SCARY.
That guy is beast great vid Nick!! :D
hahaha hes gonna behead the dummy,incredible striking... 5 stars!
Adolf Montana wow incredible lessons and that gents power is insane
This guy has some insane power behind his strikes. Even Nick looks surprised by how much the dummy moves after being hit.
Wow....I'm a trainer and man that guy is scary lol Soooooo powerful ! Nick always looks like he is in fast forward lol
So much respect for both of these gentlemen.
you guys are brilliant keep up the good work ! thumbs up
Is there a part II ?? it seems the guy did not finish speaking ... and can he tell us about his past fights, i guess at 57 years old, you have some story to share about fights ... Thanks
White , bald and tatts- I'd say he would of had a few.
Not to many once word got around if you want to get fucked up call this man out.
Nice clean fast technique
Why do you want to hear fight storys in a UA-cam video?
His accuracy when stabbing those dummy eyes is crazy, that's enough to neutralize bullies.
Real fighter. Respect to this OG.
Thanks he is a beast!
Woow, Dios me libre de las garras de este Sr de 57 años. Es terrible su pegada.. Tanto así que hasta Nick se sorprende
This guy convinced me that open palm strikes are effective!
I would love to know what kind of training he's been doing throughout his life, his power and ability to be explosive are very impressive. especially for a man that's nearly 60 years old.
Absolutely amazing.
Who is this guy ? Damm awesome!!!!
I'm sold been on the fence on buying one of these for my home sparatic workouts
This the BOB XL ?
Damnnnn. that man is no joke he has some striking powers. he's quick
Question is, how do you train to be able to generate that much force and velocity with a slap?
You gotta stay relaxed weight transfert
This is why you dont mess with the Special Forces types (SAS, Delta, SEALS, Royal Marines Commando,Canadian Airborne)
Was he in the Canadian Airborne before '95? he's got the commando tattoo
either that or the Queen's Own Rifles Parachute unit
Yes, 80 to 83...
Hats off to you Sir!
Thank you for your service
CIIR I agree with you, But sometimes you won't be able or nor should you pick your fights, but at times it will be inevitable that you meet up and come up against such quality as these guys so you do have to keep in mind that you will meet such people and just do the best you can and have training and luck on your side also. I have family members like these two and they are very intimidating and know their shit.
I can just imagine him hitting someone and making their life flash before their eyes . That's grown man strength 😂
That Power is Crazy My Brother has the same power it's something you're Born with.
Yeah he is strong as a bull
Praise of God, this guy should be 62 now. Can we see how good he is still?
lolllll, hi Malik, I still the same... :)
@@alaingravel I'm 55. Bro you're indeed an inspiration for us. I'm sure a lot of young punks must have gotten their ass kicked by picking on you, thinking a guy 60+ can't fight 😁
Bob is the best fighter. He takes all those punches, does not blink at all and keeps standing :)
lol
You can tell when somebody has fucked up a lot of people. The only defense against a guy like that is a gun or to run.
Beautiful to watch that man work! I learn to improve. Thanks for a great upload.
Btw. first time in my life I felt sorry for Bob....
lol yeah guy is a beast.
Thanks! A teacher in Tucson told us "grab anything", hair, beard etc. Careful who you mess with.
This is the real deal. What you learn in in fancy classes ain’t gonna work in streets. But Muay Thai and bjj are the real arts
@Nick.. Was the guest in your video a Quebecois? :):) Thanks for the video as I am in my 50's and this keeps me motivated to train.
I am Québécois, from Montreal.... Living in Ottawa :)
Alain Gravel C’est bon. Je suis un americain que apprend le francais.
i train bjj but nick is right is always good to train punches like this
Thanks Daniel!
Alain, you're one heck of a powerhouse ! I gie him two-thumbs up as far as sheer power.
gie - give sorry for the typo.
Thanks Chip :)
Great video, very true & useful!
2:46 when your dad finds out you smoked his weed lmao
2:46.. lmao.. i have a bob at home as well.. love to see people go wild on him
About the dummy. Other than it's usefulness for providing a targeting shape, how is it for general workouts? Would this be an effective replacement for a heavy bag, or is really for precision training?
Psychokore Underground Rap i renamed mine Todd and scream “ahhhhh fuck you Todd!!!” as i unleash the fury
Holy fuck!!! im 22 and im dissapointed for myself what the hell well done mr what's your name
Nice vid Nick, and he has serious power
What's his training and background like?
Streetfights, boxing, Muay thai...self defense...Anything goes...
Oh my god... awesome video...look at the power...have great respect for him, for the way he has kept his body in such perfect condition... could you also share sir s workout videos...
Thanks will be doing, every Friday!
What is this guy's name?
Take a strike like that unexpected and your whole world I shook. Very explosive strikes here.
Yes he hits like a tank!
That dude would chop you the fuck down like a tree! Damn. I’m a small guy with a decent knockout power but damnnnnn
Yeah he is a beast!
That knee to the ribs at 4:19 will send anyone to the ER with broken ribs and diarrhea.
Should i throw a hook punch (not a palm thrust) with a horizontal palm or a vertical palm just in basic theory not really the situation
Hey Nick how ya doin?, I really dig this video, this guy is the same age as I and holy smokes he can hit! I enjoyed the information he had to offer thank you both 👍👍
Thanks Mark :)
57?? I'm 35 and he honestly doesn't look older than me and my buddies.
Imagine Bob's face after those brutal hits 2:45
With one Striking Power Pimp Slaps,
Man he can hit hard .. He's a beast !!
scary old guy, don´t want him as a father in law. Great video, helpful as always Mr Drossos
That 57-year-old could probably beat my ass and I'm only 44.
that was very informating Nick but i always go with the body punches ... especialy the ribcage punch ive finished a couple of fights with ribcage single punch , its not a KO but its enough to put him down for a few minutes
Headbutt is easy to spot, and once you commit to it you are vulnerable to all sorts of counters so you have to be sure it's going to work.
nick I'm 5,11 164 lbs. what weight do you think is best for me to be street defense ready?
now thats a really good video
He's the real Mike from real Breaking Bad world.
Now that's a fucking five finger death punch!
Hahaha yesss this wat I'm talkin bout, age ain't nuthin but a number , this guy is fo real lots of power when he strikes , yur doin real gud with these videos nick, ay cud yu do video on active shooter , I was hanging out at some club yesterday, crowded as hell and yu cud barely get thru anywhere in becuz of the crowd, jus thinking bout self defense, wat wud I do in tht situation when yu cud barely run , jus one of my video request, but this is a kick ass video , keep up the gud work
Nick, tell Allaine to make some how to videos, and post the link!!! Would be great to see his footwork. How he uses his body. Maybe his advice on developing that technique .
Ok thanks for the suggestion.
I feel like that hair grab on the BOB is realistic to what happens to your head when he grabs you
To Alain: don't you hate it when people say "He's so ooooold and that he's in shape is sooo inspiring!"? LOL. I bet that Alain wasn't thinking about his age until you mentioned it. Now he's thinking "Fuck." :)

Yeah he is a beast!
Striking Power,
Jesus it’s like watching someone swing a sledgehammer
57 years?!
Great video. Seriøs thats Big Big flat hands slapping
Thanks
Hip turn power used to hit a baseball. But you need to harness that raw power with good timing. Some people born with it. Others need to develop.
Self defense is spelled wrong in the description.
I can be the only no rules self defense person that can knock out an MMA Fighter out like that,
Good shit!
I feel sorry for Bob
Ladies and gentlemen, that's that old man strength! NOT to be fucked with! You young ones who think that just because someone is much older can't hit like some younger person, you are dead fuckin' wrong!
Yeah! this guy can knock out most people out there!
He had me at "guys..headbutting.. is fucking beautiful" !!!
Some older has incredible Power. My mate is 55 years old but still has power like herakles. And can atomize your bones with one strike.
2:54 lights out xD
This man is a monster 😦😱😋
Yeah he hits like a truck!
M
Just don't make him angry, and everything all right.
One thing is for sure, if I was put on jail,i wouldn't like to have this guy behind me when am shower
