It's also being comfortable with violence and being armed. A real martial artist Always carries the heat and a blade. Always fully aware of their surroundings and how they move and position themselves. You can't be prey when you're also a thing that goes bump in the night.
This reminds me of how a friend at my kickboxing gym in 98 told me he had a seen at the beach a guy that had come to our gym a couple of times got a bit roughed up in the ring and never came back. Yet there he was at the beach with a tank top from our gym acting like he was the man. My pal pointed out that it happens often, and most guys don't want to put in the time or take the lumps, they just want the shirt and to act the part. He proposed we start a t shirt company to cater to these fools. We made a logo, but as teens do, got distracted and never followed through. This is one of my lifes regrets. A minor one. Keep in mind this was before tapout or affliction or any other mma apparel company catering to posers had come out. We'd have made a fortune off that crowd.
My father, who was a cop for 40 years used to say if you’re a bad ass you don’t need a T-shirt that says so. I tell my students that the dumbest thing they could possibly do is let on that they know how to fight before the fight starts. All that is is an escalation of violence. You’re basically telling the other guy he needs to get friends or a weapon or cheat in someway to make sure you don’t get to use your martial art. Most martial arts that were originally used for self-defense and not warfare, are used in an ambush or counter ambush method. Meaning you cannot let on that you know anything until they make the first move and then you use their move against them. This is why things like wing Chun don’t work in a consensual violence situation. Great talk, be safe.
There you go saving more lives Dr. Sai. Being a student of Seido Karate out of NYC in the late 80s I bet we know some of same people like Shihan William Oliver, Kaicho Tadashi Nakamura and Kaicho Shigeru Oyama. A great Student of William Oliver was a young extremely gifted Karate- ka was Sampai Lincoln Panteone. He was one of our greatest Black belts. He alway wore his leather SEIDO KARATE JACKET. One night after class a man shot and killed this great fighter. He was still wearing his Seido jacket. I’ve many great black belt but Lincoln was special, he was the future. I’ve been jumped many times and I’m still here. I knew not to advertise any fighting abilities I had. Because I grew up Black in the streets of Brooklyn. Lincoln should have knew better being a Puerto Rican. I remember we had a great sparring class and the next day they announce his murder.
@lannelbishop3668: Hey! Ush! I was a junior when William Oliver was fighting senior, never met his teacher Nakamura and trained with the late Shigeru Oyama on 6th avenue on Friday nights before he passed.
@@TheUmmahFightCamp I trained at Honbu. I’ve seen and studied with all the fighting Black Kings in the Early 90s every chance I got. It’s kills me when those popular UA-camrs say Kyokushin karate is lacking when they never studied or seen a real master of Kyokushin karate. Tadashi Nakamura and Shigeru Oyama were the absolute best Masters of Kyokushin. Those Masters saw that the Kyokushin in Japan was going the way of rockem sockem robots and they left that bullshit behind.
@@lannelbishop3668 No one needs to see the masters of Kyokushin! Not needed. I dare ANY one of those youtubers to enter ONE tournament! They can pick: OYAMA, KYOKUSHIN, ASHIHARA, ENSHIN what ever and get past the FIRST fight in black belt. ANY ONE of them! SENSEI SETH, PINK BOY JESSE ENKAMP, MIKE (WOULD HAVE TO FIGHT WITHOUT PADS), DEWEY.. NONE WOULD LAST. Every body has mouth before they do it. I would like for them to just spar one round with August Hearn!
Well said! I remember talking with some other guys who know that I box. They don't think I'm Ali or nothing but they know I can box a little bit. I told them the fact that I have boxing experience doesn't mean I can't get my *** kicked and doesn't help me when the person decides not to play the hand game with me and either grabs me or pulls a knife. He may just even be a naturally bigger and stronger person than I am and able to take much more punishment or he may be on a drug that prevents him from even feeling pain at all. Violent non-law abiding individuals DO NOT CARE about rules and will fight dirty. All those things must be considered! I still try my best to avoid bad situations in the first place as I'm admittedly timid by nature because despite knowing how to box I know I'm no where near invincible. Awareness to prevent a bad situation is the best martial art of all if someone asks me and comes before having to use violence
Thank you. Just as important as advice you gave a while back; about how trying to be intimidating will get you hurt or worse. The psychology of fighting is what I like most from your channel (Not that your technical teachings are lacking) You ARE helping with advice like that.
@joescully6607: Hey Joe! Hope all is well! Ya mean you don't think I am a racist? lol. Thanks dude. Great to hear from you, you been a constant. Appreciate it. Not easy figuring out what I mean when I say "white folks" lol. I am glad a few of you guys "get it".
Yeah I'ma echo this same thought. The years I've spent watching these Ummah Fight Camp vids have strengthened the mental side of my boxing. Confidence-->calm --> confidence.
I am from Trinidad and that is the most true thing I heard in a long time. I learned from back home if a tug, gangster or criminal want to rub you or attack you for any reason they knowing or not knowing you do Karate or Martial arts wouldn't stop them from coming for you in
It always makes me laugh Martial Art championships in KATA when watching BLACK belts, GOLD belts, PLATINUM belts with thin wrists and tiny fingers demonstrating Spike Thrusts/. All this is FAR from reality. The best Martial Art I've ever received was in the hood where more experienced Bad Ass dudes taught how to survive!
Absolutely. Awareness is much more effective. You don't want to be a black belt in anything and leaving a bar at closing time or even perhaps going to bars at all for that matter.
I agree with all this brother is saying. Move in silence, and do not bring attention to yourself. If people think you have something and they are hungry, the wolves gotta eat!
Those r facts af,I'm a certified muay thai instructor and I could not agree more. I never wear martial arts stuff,un my opinion there are 3 types of dudes that consistently wear fight apparel, most common,the guy who wants to look like a bad ass to scare people, or the guy who thinks it gets girls, or he's a fighter or a coach wearing there own shit. But more commonly its Mr hey look I'm a bad ass,or sup ladies look how bad ass I'm not. I tell everyone I train,never look like u can fight,let that be a suprise, cause when people k ow u cam fight they just say fuck that shoot him. But I completely agree u,good shit coach,thank u
Thank you for the insight as always. I imagine apex predators see such advertisements as free intel so a neutral look is best. I see martial arts as one element of the self-defense equation. Other elements include gun/tactical training, situational awareness, and the assumption that an adversary will never fight fair (catching you when relaxed, using knives or guns, throwing hot coffee or more caustic substances in your face)
I'm born and raised in Newark NJ, and Ive been robbed twice in my teens in the early & mid 1980's and once in my mid 30'S (that one was in E.O. in the mid 1990s ) .Being 6'1" and 200 lbs. Meant Nothin when facing a GUN. The 3rd dude i went to grammar school with, he kept apologizing and saying that he had no choice, he was doing crack really bad , i was Mad but i kinda forgive him. Haven't seen him since.
I never do anything the first time ... Like fighting a stranger. A unknown person has already scooped me 👀 out . I jog out the ⛽ station or liquor 🥃 store and ( because) i'm the only. ... " H " in a EBONY neighborhood. 2024.
people like Joe Rogan thinking that a guy like Tito Ortiz who's a famous UFC Fighter would scare away a real serial killer for example ... if anything, being a world famous fighter will do you more harm than good, especially if they have a massive ego and cocky attitude, because everyone knows you but you hardly know anyone out there, and if a guy like Tito Ortiz came up to a criminal trying to say steal his car, and the criminal IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZES HIM, I have no doubt he would just pull out his gun and shoot him ... because he knows he's far too big of a risk to just get physical with or even run away from because he's a pro level fighter and a tremendous athlete ... a bullet would nullify any sort of risk ... THEN run away ... but bjj and mma morons never seem to learn this reality, they think the octagon is reality, UFC rules apply to the street and a bjj black belt can somehow stop bullets lol
and let's not forget about the El Paso incident of 2 years ago where this arrogant MMA/BJJ instructor Jose Campuzano ended up meddling in a group of aggressive youngsters' affairs (instead of just minding his own business and calling the police out of sight and from a safe distance as any ordinary smart human being would've done instead) ... ended up getting hospitalized and fighting for his life ... lotta good that BJJ and Muay Thai did him at the moment of truth lol
I remember that incident. It was in the parking lot, I believe he got stomped out inbetween parked cars. Also a few years ago a Known BJJ instructor was shot and killed inside of a Bar/Club. It was in Brazil the shooter was an off duty Cop. The BJJ instructor had took the guy down, but eased up on him. Then the guy shoots him.
I think of Martial Arts like a Glock. Conceal Carry. Most people I know don't live in an area where crime is likely to take place. Most bad asses don't act like asses. Acting like a bad ass, whether you're walking around with martial arts gear or puffing your chest out bragging about what you think you know simply invites the true bad ass to vitimize you. Thanks for this bit of wisdom.
Thank you for taking the time to address this point, Sensei. Sadly, I have been guilty to wearing these “motivation” shirts. I appreciate you pointing out the obvious to me. Salute.
@@OldBenKenobi1964 Most people don't know it. Brother, don't forget Psychology was my minor. Criminal psych was part of the package lol. If I was not a "Mind nerd", I would not know either. Now you know. Pass it on.
If you're from anywhere where violence actually happens you understand that combat sport will be useless against a gun and you realize just how common guns are. You also realize the more cowardly the person weilding the gun the more likely they will actually plug you off of straight knerves alone. Ive loved martial arts my whole life. Last time I actually used them in a street fight the guy whipped a 9 out of his sweatpants pocket. No blatant holster to telegraph it. Luckily enough for me this guy had a sense of honor and we fist fought, ended up shaking hands and walking away. It never left me how quickly i could've died in that moment. All i said was "so what? You're going to shoot me?" Like the immense consequences of literally dying didn't even strike me at the time. It was afterwards. Stay safe y'all. A lot of martial arts movie stuff is hoopla admittedly, but Mr Miyagi did say one of the best "self defense" lessons of all time in my opinion. "Best block no be there". I run a non profit martial arts/combat sports club in my community and showed this video at the beginning of our last practice. Thank you for the lesson in the importance of humility and for reinforcing the concept I have been bringing up at the club for a while now which is simply my belief that having Judo/Wrestling (on the feet grappling/throws/takedowns) is a lot more important than having high level BJJ in a "self defense" or "street" situation.
A young man who was into karate black belt he was going to a competition got stabed to death by an illegal immigrant knife crime is really bad in England even a professiona famous boxer got robbed of his rolex watch when he was out with his wife and family
I’ve been laughing at these guys since the early days of the UFC. I grew up seeing guys get jumped and robbed. However, I still believe bjj is a good foundation for understanding self defense and body awareness.
@khairt1731: Wa Alaikum Musalaam, lol! only that. The guy had on a MMA... shirt and walked around like he was tough thinking people gave a damn about that T-shirt. It was funny, because I know some people who would have robbed him and took the shirt. LOL!
You should carry gun, knife, pepper spray, AND know martial arts. Use weapons first, use fist lasts. I've lived in the 3rd world and 1st world, and I've lived in the suburbs and I've lived in the hood You NEED to know how to fight, but weapons are #1. Always.
Infarct M A might give u a false sense of security . I have heard of two incidences where two tough guys started fighting these thugs and ended up dead … both shot .
To fight and beat the monster you have to become the monster and worse. Geoff thompson learnt and taught that in the wake of his bouncer days in Coventry uk in the 1980s.
And yes that why a lot of army mans had PTSD. Even mike tyson undestand this video because he himself still feel bad knock out people in the ring like animal. He confim to hate his younger self because of that. No matter how good you are, you still suffer another human being.
@AlphonsoFrett-xz6pi: To be a Muslim! lol. To be honest, even white racists want no part of a real confident Muslim with beard, strut and frown. lol. Maybe just look the part. It works wonders.
The title of your video says martial arts will get you killed. But after watching your video, you say something different. You say that it's martial arts ATTIRE that's dangerous, and I agree. I don't think you meant to trash martial arts-- you even admitted you taught your nephew boxing, and that because of that he can handle himself. Maybe the title should have had the word "attire" or "clothing" after the phrase "martial arts."
Martial Arts hasn't killed me yet in 27 years of it. It has helped me save people from dangerous men and has saved many young men and women from poverty and self destruction.
@eastafrica728: LOL! Ok champ! I will recommend you a few corners to stand on with some money out and you wear your mma or martial arts t-shirt and see how long you have it. You can talk slick all you want, but there all places where you would get torn out the frame in spite of your martial arts. And almost no one on social media beats my years of training and that is verified.
@@TheUmmahFightCamp I wear my track suit and walk through the ghetto. It's about how you handle yourself, martial arts is self discipline and self confidence. You will get robbed and killed even if you try to stay out of trouble, so your video makes no sense, rather die like a man, fighting. You have too much anxiety, you need to respect yourself.
@@eastafrika728 Man do you know who you are talking to? You would get stomped out in places where I have stood on corners. I TEACH right NOW in the hood! NOW! I am a legend where I come from and I am only 5'7 190 pounds. You have never in your life seen or trained wit the people I have trained with. The issue with you is that you stay where people care about your training.
A wise man once said "the best defense against criminals is to not be where they are!"
“Appear weak wen u are strong and strong wen u ate weak “

Facts …!!
The highest form of martial arts is avoiding the situation or area where it is necessary to use it.
It's also being comfortable with violence and being armed. A real martial artist Always carries the heat and a blade. Always fully aware of their surroundings and how they move and position themselves. You can't be prey when you're also a thing that goes bump in the night.

If you do not have a carry piece, looking confident and having one hand in your pocket for no easily explained reason works better than you think.
No doubt they will know your dangerous and use extreme force immediately.
The title of your video says martial arts will get you killed. But after watching your video, you say something different. You say that it's martial arts ATTIRE that's dangerous, and I agree. I don't think you meant to trash martial arts-- you even admitted you taught your nephew boxing, and that because of that he can handle himself. Maybe the title should have had the word "attire" or "clothing" after the phrase "martial arts."
Why would you get triggered by a guy with a martial arts t-shirt?
Martial Arts hasn't killed me yet in 27 years of it. It has helped me save people from dangerous men and has saved many young men and women from poverty and self destruction.
@eastafrica728: LOL! Ok champ! I will recommend you a few corners to stand on with some money out and you wear your mma or martial arts t-shirt and see how long you have it. You can talk slick all you want, but there all places where you would get torn out the frame in spite of your martial arts. And almost no one on social media beats my years of training and that is verified.
@@TheUmmahFightCamp I wear my track suit and walk through the ghetto. It's about how you handle yourself, martial arts is self discipline and self confidence. You will get robbed and killed even if you try to stay out of trouble, so your video makes no sense, rather die like a man, fighting. You have too much anxiety, you need to respect yourself.
@@eastafrika728 Man do you know who you are talking to? You would get stomped out in places where I have stood on corners. I TEACH right NOW in the hood! NOW! I am a legend where I come from and I am only 5'7 190 pounds. You have never in your life seen or trained wit the people I have trained with. The issue with you is that you stay where people care about your training.
Many lives will be saved if they watch this
