Here is another tutorial covering a more mental topic: fear and the intimidation factor. Learn how to fight your bully at school, work, or at the pub. Don't let people scare you, win a fight before it even starts. This shows how to intimidate someone in a fight. - Спорт
To anyone being bullied - especially in school - know this: It's more about making a stand than anything else. Nobody likes the stress of a fight; your heart-rate increases, adrenaline starts going, etc. If you stand up for yourself every time, they get tired of dealing with it every time, and they stop. It doesn't matter if you lose the fight or not; you're letting him know, "EVERY time you act like this, we're going to fight. Do you wanna risk losing to your victim, and getting suspended all
@Sami Suleiman how'd it go
@Sami Suleiman how did it went?
i know and i am ready to fight also , but i am afraid after the fight what if bully calls his friends to beat me ??
@@jasraajjassal4519thats why i cant show braveness when my opponent is coward then they call out their friends to team up on me idk why they are that scared on me like also my close fake friends are being so arrogant like talking about they will beat them in the situation even tho they cant pick on me and when i get in an argue they are always being coward like they will let someone pick on them and not gonna get stand up for themselves like they are so arrogant and just talking mouth but they cant even fight very well they are so toxic and those two fake p*ssy friends trying to pretend like they dont know me when i get in a fight like example im not the kind of person that will call help when someone pick on me i can stand to myself even tho i got no real friends but all of them are teaming up and making my enemy also their allies and teaming up on me like they are so coward pretending they can handle me and pretending they are brave just because they cant help me back there like so useless guys thats why in a fight situation i dont stand to myself sometimes because i feel like no one will believe me and support me whenever i fought those guys and i got no confidence because i dont have any motivation

Haha I'm sure that shit happened.
10,000 Subcribers With Just One Video? I dont need u to believe it
I had a friend tell me to take all my clothes off and run at them naked ready to fight. He's claimed that this has worked for him before.
hahaaha
nalyd nosnhoj it does unless that guy whose fighting u is gay.
Hawkie 22 yeah it could backfire :DD
nalyd nosnhoj you have a good friend.
"ahem, bear with me a moment I've just got to get all my clothes off". 30 seconds later. "YEAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
Next time you bump into someone or some similar accident occurs, try the following.
While standing tall and squared up, make direct boring-a-hole-through-his-head eye contact and say the following from the gut, kinda loudly, while grinning ear to ear:
*"I'm sorry, buddy! That was totally my fault! You OK?"*
You want to radiate so much confidence that it's like you wouldn't *dream* anyone would dare attack someone like you over something so small. Projecting your voice and smiling will accomplish this. Simultaneously, you also want to apologize with genuine politeness and friendliness as this will defuse the other guy's ego and make it clear you aren't interested in challenging him.
dude you are a genius
Or yh stomp his knee and run
leon everitt
You'd do that to someone you just bumped into, unprovoked?
ha sounds like something thatd work in films, but in the real world someone might just attack you before you can even say anything, pull a weapon or get his mates to join in beating you, that last one has happened quite a few times to me. must say maybe i dont get out enough but bumping into people has never ever lead to a confrontation for me and im 27, its just never happened, is anyone really going to have this little soundbite ready and prepared on the unlikely offchance this happens?
i have this soundbite ready
Just go Super Saiyan and they'll back the fuck off
The most intimidating thing on earth is a persons voice.

I understand the point you're trying to make, Shane. By faking that you are not afraid of someone trying to start something with you, as you said, you're letting them know that you aren't going to be an easy target, they get a little nervous because they know that you are standing up to them, and it gives you confidence because you are standing up to them.
However I must point out the reality of things. While I understand what you're talking about, when people get into a confrontational situation, it catches them completely off guard. Unless they have some martial arts training, their body IMMEDIATELY goes through the shitty "Fight or Flight Instinct", where the body sends a message to the brain that it is in danger, whether real or perceived, and releases adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream to provide extra energy to "flee" or "fight" the threat..
Breathing becomes more shallow, sweating occurs, and your mind is looking everywhere for any possible threats until the danger has "passed" and their is a termination of the sympathetic nervous system into the parasympathetic nervous system (fight or flight instinct terminate, the calm, relaxed, normal you comes back).
Often a person in this situation "freezes", and their body doesn't work for them, because it is overstimulated. Also known as demobilization.
You have to take this reaction into consideration when talking about confrontational situations. To not notice or incorporate it into confrontations is like only reading half the book, and assuming you know the rest of what the book says.
I'm not trying to be a prick, I just believe it is a fundamental part of confrontations, and something that would need to be addressed when you do get into a confrontation situation.
I certainly welcome a response back, and see what your input is on it. But I enjoy watching your videos, and you do have a lot of good and practical things to say in them.
Can't agree with you more. Once I got into such a situation and I was caught off guard like you said. I was angry, tried to be confident, I wasn't afraid but my voice and legs got all shaky, my opponent picked up on that which gave him a confident boost and he walked all over me.
This is a great point. Personally I think the answer to that is after all the psychological play, it is still up to the opponent if he wants to fight or flee. Thus, the confident one can build up by acting strong may get destroyed after the first punch the other guy throws.
So I think the point really is: can you actually fight this guy off after psychologically matching with him? If not, the first way of displaying weak may have better outcome. The reason behind this can be found everywhere in the world of nature: you never see a prey matching up with its predator, instead they try to draw as less attention as possible, and they will only fight if there can be no more running away.
Also, you certainly can overcome that nervousness before and during a fight, it just takes time in sparing, competitive fights, and real fights. I personally believe that nervousness comes from a person stepping into unfamiliar grounds. So even if you've been trained to fight for a long time, your still cannot avoid that disturbing feeling in your first few street fights, simply because the situation is different.
Great points Matt

It's the initial adrenaline rush and fight or flight trigger, all of which is done subconsciously

I love you fighttips.... in 2013 I was 11 and I was about 140 CM ( 4 ft 5 in) I was always bullied in school. I cried every night. I was so angry with the people around me but I was too small to fight them, so I started searching on UA-cam and found that your channel teaches self defense. I started training Muay Thai and Boxing. Everynight I watched your videos and remember them. One day, I was bullied again, but with all the training and things you taught me online, I knocked out the bully. After that no one messes with me.
Thank you so much man,
hahah that's fuckin awesome.
I call bullshit
u must be 21 now
Are u still there champ
Muay thai and boxing combined is deadly mma right there 🥶
BTW, you still here?
I am a freshman in high school and i have had some altercations with some bigger guys, all of them are a lot bigger than me. I am 5'4 and the two other guys that have been bullying me are around 6'0 maybe taller. Your videos really helped, i haven't had any problems with them since i learned the things you teach in your videos.
How’d you go
i know and i am ready to fight also , but i am afraid after the fight what if bully calls his friends to beat me ??
Lol don't be scared, they probably will be your friends at the end. Believe me @@jasraajjassal4519
Or you could both just meditate. Light some scented candles, get in the bath together and just chill to some Louis Armstrong. My fighting style is out side of the box. Its very relaxing.
well I learnt to fight .
.......ummmmm.....

Low key fuckin gay

I saw a guy instigate a fight then when it was about to start he did the Zoidberg "woop woop woop woop" and did a side step and claw snaps with it. That ended it. Just remember, do what Dr. Zoidberg would do.
Could you explain this? I’m not sure what it means. I think you meant that he says “woop woop woop” and confuses the enemy or some shit
Best way to win a fight is to pull out a gun. Scares most people pretty quickly. I've seen it happen. A guy brought a knife and the other guy brought an Uzi. No one got shot, but everyone pretty much ran at the sight of the Uzi.
Dude, an Uzi is a sub-machine gun, most are 9mm, so how the **** did that guy keep a 9mm Uzi gun in his pocket????
White Dragon Obviously he had a big pocket.

I agree with you on most of what you say. Don't show fear of your opponent. Stand up to them. What I don't agree with is to instill fear in your opponent. You want to nullify fear period. Let him off the hook, give him an escape route. If he gets in your face after that, use you head, know what I mean? Or hold up your arms, palms about chin high, step back. At that point, if he steps in your bubble, palm comes up sharply to the the nose, chin. Then do what you want after that. Not to diss what you said. Just saying what I recommend in the scenario
In my experience, number one works the best. If you try to scare the other guy, and it doesn't work, you've got a fight, and some of us don't LOOK all that scary.
If you can show him that you don't want a fight, but you're not afraid of one either, he'll usually just fuck off, and pretend like you were scared to fight him. That may be embarrassing, but it gets you out of a fight.
+Bill lupin I ABSOLUTELY agree. Who cares it looks embarassing, as long as it takes you out of a fight. Besides, as long as you are aware of your opponent's reactions, all his (over)confidence may work at your advantange if things come to worse, and you feel there's no other way out but to sucker-punch him.
***** If she's just walked off? She needs your attention more than he does.
Now, if she says "kick his ass," you have to ask yourself "is she worth it?" If the answer's yes, well, you gotta bite the bullet, and eat the consequences. Which is usually someone's fist.
Just make sure you give as much as you get. You might even win the jackass' respect that way.

Yeah, I agree. If she insists on playing Olive Oyl, it's time to leave.
+crayzeesteve I honestly can't tell if you're a troll with these retarded comments
Depends on how aggressive he is. When he's just a little pissed, that's ok.
This is basic. It's great for those being picked on without the natural reaction of returning aggression. This. This is where the kids being picked on should start. With all the training in the world, it does you no good if you are a first scenario kid and try to avoid the confrontation by avoiding the threat, thereby exposing yourself. Great video, I loved it

Thanks Shane this really helped me with my confidence.
The goal is to avoid a fight and sometimes appearing submissive is actually a good way to diffuse the situation. Emphasis on APPEAR because obviously you must be ready to fight. Appearing aggressive is rarely a good idea, and often by backing down the other fool feels good about himself and you both walk away safe. Let him think whatever he wants because if you train and practice fighting you'll know inside who would have won but you took the high road. Train to be a fighter not a poser.
Trying to counter-intimidate a bully is not advisable. The best way to avoid a fight with a such a type is to interact non-emotionally, rendering you immune to their attempts to control you.
Intimidation is always driven by fear und uncertainty and if they see you completely unaffacted their inner fear will rise even more, further nurturing their anger. This lack of emotional control creates a parallel lack of physical control so if they strike if will likely be an uncontrolled attack which opens them up to a counter. Wild emotions can release wild actions. In short, the single minded strength of their attack is also their weakness.
Most bullies will give up after while but if the fight is unavoidable be sure to strike first and quick. Best in an unexpected moment like in the middle of a sentence when you talk.
Intimidation has helped me avoid many fights
if their two or more people don't try this
+Ian Brooks y?
Yes do it, find the leader and if the others ain't scared after you try to intimidate them you have to hit him first, before he hits you or the others get to react and hit. This doesn't work all the time, but if you're in the situation and think you can't avoid a fight, might as well do it

This is probably the video that helped me the most ! Weather you want to get in a fight with your opponent or not , Fear & Intimidation will transform them into little puppies and they'll think twice before messing with you. You don't even have to get in the fight , if think you know what you're doing and are scared , you can let them retreat and end it.
I believe your confidence and understanding of intimidation or reading people comes with experience... Being in enough scuffles! I don't recommend going out looking for trouble, it's dangerous and always risky... I'm just saying it would be hard to place yourself in such situations by simply viewing a video about it.
It just depends on the situation and there a different type of ways to handle it.. but not standing up for yourself isn't an option, it's like people are missing the point, I seen this work plenty of times in different communities especially in the black community, Just because people wanted to see where the victim head was.. but the ignorant comments should stop, because what if parents can't afford paying for classes.. or didn't approve of it.. and I don't think kids can work younger then the age 15.. the possibilities are endless.. all I'm sayin is at least he's doing something to better the community.. what is everyone else doing besides hating.. btw I support yo movement bro keep doing what you're doing ✊.. internet bullies.. #iPUSHBACK
what you really do, is you look him in the eyes, if he gets angry and pushes you, just stay calm, and say dude, we crashed, it was an accident, lets let it go. and if he doesn't and tries to assault you just don't attack him, constrain him, so he cant move until he's calm. my teacher taught us to avoid fights unless its absolutely necessary
So when will it be absolutely necessary?
if they actually pysically try to punch you or assault you. if there just mad, let it go and walk away
+ÇÓDŸ Š V ŁÖG I doubt that will work in a street fight. Maybe in school but it's not even an optimal tip there.
dude if you walk away some people may even get madder especially if dudes drunk or something i mean i wouldn't just stick with that lol.try it at first then if he goes further show him your not to be dealt with.
That's gd advice. The way this guy through his hat down your almost certain to be in a fight lol, unless u wanna be in one lol
I think it is important that, as you showed in the video, that you are only aggressive after you first try to diffuse the situation (e.g. you telling him to "relax"). Obviously it is better to diffuse the situation than to cause an unnecessary fight. Apart from that, very useful video
Great video guys! Human beings are animals after all and we definitely still run on "animal kingdom" rules to some extent. Showing confidence in the face of confrontation can definitely discourage further aggression.
I dont get loud when i get in a confrontation. The eye contact i make, my posture and body language, all radiate an enormous amount of confidence in myself and my fighting ability. I also talk pretty calmly. Though sometimes when it starts to escalate i cant help but smile or chuckle at the person that is attempting to threaten me. It isn't intentional, i truly find it humorous that this guy dares to challenge me. I shit you not i can sense the fear come over their body when they see me laughing and being so calm and confident. They really get taken back. I've had a lot of instances where they've bitched out and walked away when i get to that point.
Same here! Lol, I just thought I was crazy...
watchulookinatpunk Lol you might be crazy if you do all that and you actually aren't the greatest fighter. That would actually be pretty cool to be that confident. My confidence comes from roughly 10 years of combat sports
x2eXu50x well, I'm still in school, so let's hope we never find out how good I am. ;)
(There have been a couple of scuffles with a few guys, nothing major though, but I have always landed on top. Probably just because I'm bigger than just about everyone. :3)
watchulookinatpunk Lol that definitely helps xD
x2eXu50x :333
Yeah, do that until the guy pull a knife at you with ten of his mates ready to to change you into minced meat. (you'll end up on Liveleak)
if someone is going to do that, then they aren't suddenly gonna have morals when you cower towards them. they would do the same either way.
Those kinds of people usually don't have loyal friends, usually if you you push back he's the only threat.
If I quote from Lee Morrison: He has to make a move to get to you. He didn't just materialize it's not fucking Star Trek". If you haven't avoided the situation of 11 dudes one of which is armed then you're doing something wrong. if someone pulls a knife on you threatening to kill you and you put up an aggressive mindset and assault him as violently as he intends to assault you, I GUARANTEE your chances will be higher.
nice-new So you'd rather fan around and do nothing? Your 100% chances to die...
Tarquin Ogilvie Since i've left school (15 years ago) i never had a fight. I know the places and times of the day to avoid.
Awesome videos man. You're good
Nice man, good video and very true , keep up the good work !
When I was younger I used to be bullied I just laughed it off I got in some fights I didn't lose them but I was the one with less points I guess.. After a year and a half of this nonsense I got inspired into mma. I started doing it for a year and no one was Messing with me.. Everyone knew I did boxing and I have never had more respect in my life, I never bullied anyone. This one kid that doesn't come to school he would come and not beat me but slap me around bossing me and shit I remember one time he made me clean his desk. I was such a dumb ass and a coward but I guess Im sorta am too right now and I don't know it. anyway so this guy recently has been coming to school and he hasn't done anything to me I guess I got over the drama about him bossing me around..
I live in a village and everyone knew I did boxing, and not as a amateur I was trained by UA-cam videos especially fight tips, and myself. I have a friend 3 years older then me and came to my house where I had boxing bag and gloves. If you see him you can say he is ripped af and I am a skinny tall boy that has abs and only around this time starting to build muscle of push ups and weights. This guy would destroy this bag. Like sometimes I would just watch him box and I was amazed how i could beat him in a round. When we box we both have gloves and yes I have gotten hits from him before and tbh when I got hit it was like a adrenaline that hurts like hell but I always got him in the corner and finish him. I always felt good about myself and I was confident. And I was sure no one can beat me in a fight from my school. When I started the year of school like 2 months later I was sitting at my desk waiting for the teacher to come and teach. this kid Martin he was little compared to me and he came and kept on hitting me with a elastic I told him to stop and he wouldn't I pushed him and little fucker bit me.. (in my country us kids don't consider this as a threat I dont do this to others but we were good buddies I guess) after he bit me I threw a low kick like 40% of my power I didn't want to put him in a coma or something. I'm like 3x him so I couldn't get into a fight with him if he wanted to. Then after this moment my life changed for 2 months. His older brother Andi, that is like half a year older than me (still doesn't make a difference if we fought) came and hit me 3 times (I was sitting down)one on my upper lip second on my left corner of my eye and one in the head. While I was getting hit oddly I wasnt feeling pain.. I felt just nothing.. I felt emptyness it was weirdly peacefull for like 1 second And what I did you might be asking? Nothing I just stood there didn't know what to do.. Why didn't I get up and beta his ass knowing I could an di was way out of his league? I ask myself that every night and tonight It kept going through my head so I decided to write about it. This is the guy who used to slap me around and made me clean his desk. After me sitting in my desk not knowing what to do I got up and I punched myself on my right cheek made a bigger bruise than he made to me. I was dumb wasn't thinking I went outside got a breath with my hand on my face several thought going through my head.. I turned saw him laughing through the window I pushed myself and went back to my class was ready to fight him I told him "what you aren't gonna hit me now while I'm standing?" he remained quite he wasn't gonna take the first hit and I couldn't get myself together to give the first hit I wanted him to throw at me I know my stuff and I could easly dodge, block or think faster.. But he didn't take the first hit and I couldn't. he walked out and told me "step off". At this moment I was lost didn't know what to do I can't go home beat no not in my book. I knew what my grandpa would tell me and humiliate me of getting my ass beat. I went outside and I did it again went on the soccer field where he was same exact thing happened he didn't throw I wouldnt and I just went back to class... For the all the periods left I couldn't even write I kept thinking about this shit and my left eye was slightly bruised.. After the day ended I went in the street I was trying to get my nerve to beat his ass for once and for all. But I couldn't I was just standing there watching him go.Then he turned and told me to post a picture on Facebook of my bruised eye. I threw my bag and went after him. Guess what happened yeah.. Same thing I didn't have the nerve to throw the hit. I threatened him and called him a bitch for cheap shotting me and not fighting man to man. If there were a minute left he probably wouldve tried to fight me.. Then fucking janitor came and told me to head home.. Just getting home my mind was nothing what would I tell my grandpa.. I got home he saw my eye and asked me what happened and I told him this guy hit me and ran off. He called me dumb and stupid for the next couple of days I tried to explain and he kept saying he never got home beat. He even humiliated me in front of my friends once and kept saying he never got home beat and I lost it and told him "yeah you offered to suck the other guy off so he let you loose" and I walked off.. Everyone kept saying how could a kid like that beat you when you have been practicing boxing and mma for a year. I just remained silent always emberassed. The days after the fight he didn't even say a word to me. He knew deep down if he got into a fight with me he wouldn't stand a chance.. Most fighters say when you lose you learn a lot from your mistakes.. That is true but that's fizically.. If I tell you for 2 weeks every night I thought about that day.. What could I have done there? Why didn't I just fucking punch the shit out of him until my feet sweat? Why was I a dumbass coward? Sometimes I even thought what if he is better.. but a bitch that cheap shots can never beat my 1 year progression.. 3 months later prezent day yes I do keep thinking about that day and tonight was the night that I thought about it for half a hour and writing about it for and hour. At school the guy thinks I forgot about it couple of days later but no man 3 months later Im still in that day. Repeating it over and over. I realised from my mistakes fighting isnt just fizically but mostly mentally.. I had 3 chances to beat his ass that day..and I blew it I couldnt get the nerve to do it I couldn't beat him mentally not fizically.. If he just started throwing hands my life would've been a lot better knowing I beat his ass.. I wish no one repeats my mistake and thinks about this before ever getting into a fight. And I promised myself if I ever got in this situation again I would beat the holy meat in anyone that stand in my way and not freeze up.. I find it a lot harder to getting the nerve to punch a person then Fighting him. If anyone reads this thank you and please tell me your opinion about my situation. Thank you

I thought Shane disagreed with violence. If I started on someone like in the second one I'm pretty sure it would end in a fight
tnx shane because of you i become tough and confident tnx for inspiring me now i know how to fight bullies and stand up for myself tnx dude
Option 3 you can still show confidence and disarm by being cool, calm and apologetic.
great to see these videos goin up on here...great stuff guys..keep up the good work...confidence is the single most important thing to help you out...build it...get trained...oss
Ur so white and gay. If u have to watch this kinda bullshit to feel confident and feel bad ass then u whiteboys are more pathetic then i thought. Grow some fuckin balls u justin biebers HAHAHAHA
Frank Perez hit me up at the vario homes
i was just teached differently in my jiu-jitsu class... you should never start pushing around the person who is mad, that can make him explode and attack you, best thing is to say sorry with hands open palms toward him and just back away...
ViliAtFinland Yeah I think that works best too. You don't come across as scared or weak, but at the same time you're also not provocative.
+ViliAtFinland Or just stand your ground and talk without fear.
ViliAtFinland why? lets say there is someone in your class/workplace whos acting angry to scare you. if you dont show confidence he and his friends will do this again and underestimate you.
ViliAtFinland most the time if your louder and seem more aggressive they will back down, if they don't then yea you probably will fight
great material guys!
The problem with this is the shouting and chest-puffing will usually just escalate the hostility. I will first be polite, all the while looking him straight in the eye. If he starts getting hostile, and I truly want to avoid a fight, I will simply smile, look right into his eye, and with a chuckle get a crazy look in my eyes. Most of the time they get really freaked out and think I am crazy. That usually will stop the fight from happening.

Anyone else see they guy in the back fall?
The guy with no shirt crashed and never did get back on his board. looked like he was hurting. I had to laugh. Thanks
This channel was a good idea bros +big up
The best method is to act quiet and worried as in the first scenario, but all the while never letting your guard down. Its easier to watch for, and react to, their first move if you are not distracting yourself by yelling and trying to show anger. Stay composed and anticipate their attack. Unlike the first scenario however, make sure to keep eye contact, or at least eyes on their body.
I dont agree with this. you shouldn't be trying to start a fight. throwing your hat on the ground and acting like a child is a good way to do it. to be intimidating, you look him dead in the eyes. stand strong. and dont say things like "bring it on man/lets go bro". dont say anything except "your messing with the wrong guy. or this is a bad idea for you". you have to be calm, and to be calm, you need experience. it helps to take something like jiu jitsu or boxing. and have competition experience, it helps with the adrenaline. that's my philosophy in a nutshell. have a good day.
YES, YES, AND YES!
Keep calm at all times, adrenaline and fighting don't mix.
I practice kickboxing, and I always imagine how the fight will/would play out, that helps me to remain calm when it actually happens.
ADevilNeverCry Yeah I've found that when I get into a confrontation or even when I'm sparring I'll get those butterflies aha, if I breathe deep in and out composing myself or like you said imagine how the fight will turn out I can hold my own better
KILLRomez B
Fear is psychological, so if you mentalize you can do/handle it your brain won't trigger that adrenaline rush that makes you tremble and miss punches/blocks, it's mind thing really... No wonder why most of these professional boxers/mma fighters(etc) are so calm when they give interviews.
Disagree with this video.
The aggressor is trying to strip the victim's dignity.
That can only happen if the victim is willing to give it to him/her. AT that point, the victim has to go "get it back".
If possible learn BJJ from a reputable teacher. A great deal of confidence can come from knowing how to win a fight. But that's NOT the point.
Always aim to deescalate first. That's goal #1, deescalate. Walk or run away if that isn't possible.
Knowing a skill like BJJ actually makes this a much easier pill to swallow. So if some d-bag calls me a "b*tch" for instance. I can say with confidence,
"OK, you're right, I'm a bitch. Have a good night."
Meanwhile, internally I have already sized up his ability to "handle" himself based on his posture, the placement of his hands pre-fight, the angle of his stance, and more. If he is untrained on how to defend BJJ, then I'm already 6-7 moves ahead of him before the fight even starts. I already know which one of of his arms or legs I'm taking home with me.
You've got nothing to prove to anyone. Be confident enough to walk away. This applies whether you are a trained or fighter not. Dignity is NOT something you have to win. It exists inherently, and it is yours, and yours alone to abuse or protect.
Appreciate your videos and respect what you're doing as I detest bullies -- which is why I started training many years ago. Not saying you're right or wrong because there are no answers in a world filled with variables. But in my experience, certain people are wired differently. We really aren't all the same like they teach us in school. Everyone has a different F-or-F reaction.
Then there are tweaked individuals like sociopaths, narcissists, adrenaline junkies, human honey badgers filled with rage. Some of these guys get a high from fighting. Taking an aggressive stance like that is Street Poker... and if the guy calls your bluff and you can't back it up... it's probably going to end even worse. Hell, even if a guy knows what he's doing there's always that potential to take the magic one on the chin. Situation will likely escalate if there are people (especially chicks) around -- then there's the pack mentality with nearby friends.
Good shit, Shane.
I suggest everyone to step in Bangladesh for a while if you want to break your fucking Fear, we never talk we just hit
Here in the civilised world, you will be arrested for unwarranted attacks
Civilized world makes me laugh
Bring it on
Third world countries and its citizens make me laugh
go on no one stopped you
This tip is stupid i've done this before and that guy reacted and he punched me.
If would do it either way! He could have done worst if you seem scared!
2020here... you've gone a long way dude
Very good video, many will benefit-- thanks
Sooo?.. Basically do this if you want to get into a fight ? OK.
I wonder how many kids got there asses beat or, worse yet, were killed because of this immature advice. One can demonstrate confidence and respect at the same time without matching the other person's douchiness. a respectful apology with eye contact can go a long way. it's called being a man-- the better man.
grow up
once again, you need to grow up.
oh my god... you've just changed my who perspective on this topic with that super mature response! or you've just painted yourself into a corner of immaturity. you decide. in the mean time, i'm just going to go ahead and put you on mute. cheers.
+Justin McNeil You just proved that you are a hypocrite with the way you responded to the other kid.
yeah but the problem sometimes is if you r gonna apologies to someone who's unnecessarily trying to intimidate you it ends up getting beaten up by them because they will misunderstood ur kindness as fear and they won't back up until they ll break each and every bone of urs, so if someone is about to beat ur ass u need take a guard ask him to back off and tell him you don't want no scene ,but if he's moving forward towards u you need to guard yourself it's called predator instinct .what's wrong in protecting yourself ? no one wants to be the victim of someone's rage ??
THANK YOU YOUR A FUCKING LIFE SAVER MAN. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SOOOOOOOOO LONG. THIS IS WHAT DEFEATED ME IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE FIGHT I'VE BEEN IN FOR MY PAST 18 YEARS OF LIFE.
once you build this confidence you get that feeling in your chest, that makes you not afraid, and its stops you from freezing up because of fear. It lets you fight back.
Great tips guys.
I Cant believe you advocate anti-bullying. your first video was closer to what a person should do to avoid an altercation with an ego bruised aggressor aside from looking at the floor and allowing the person to push you of course but the body language suggested in your second scenario would most likely escalate the situation, making it more likely that you will be attacked. This is how kids in high school handle situations, concerned more with not appearing scared than real self defense. A martial artist would not be so easily butt hurt as to bump chests with an insecure adolescent expressing his fear.
Depends on the person, a person dosen't have to be fearless because he/she knows martial arts.
poor advice this will get some poor kid beaten up.
LOVE YOU GUYS💙
I've gotten beaten in a few fights and some kid disrespected me for it.I took this vid's advice and it worked,thanks man.
This is really poor advice. Trying to intimidate someone who is being aggressive will only escalate the situation. If you have ever taken a real martial arts, you would know the goal is to avoid fighting at all costs even if you know you could beat the crap out of the aggressor. The best way to win a fight is to devote a couple of years to train in wrestling and BJJ because 99.9% of people who start fights have no knowledge of ground fighting. You mentioned trying to exude confidence to show you are not afraid but the truth is you won't have any confidence if you know you can't fight. Your confidence comes from all the hard earned hours that you have put into your training.
ha some skinny dudes trying to teach me how to fight lmao
Shane's pretty buff
.
bait route
It's same as you would say Bruce Lee was a pussy cause he was skinny... fuck logic
oh shurrrr up now
Ha size don't matter
Always keep eye contact, stay calm and cool, do not scream and shout, your possible "opponent" will then begin expecting a confrontation. Quiet confidence is very unnerving, this doesn't mean back down, this means act natural. Then when whoever it may be riles up and starts shouting or talking shit; hit them as hard as you can in the jaw, don't stop swinging until they stop moving; hitting someone when they aren't ready/expecting it is a for sure knockout. Especially whilst they are speaking.
Great video btw.
Shane, do you have tips on fights you end up with, if there are multiple oppononents or people against you (could be from multiple people trying to fight you or 1v1 with an entire crowd cheering for the other guy). I'd just love to know
Just act gay, they won't know what to do
yeah, I think this works much better :D
InspiredName Lol maybe, but mine requires no violence. :P (not gay btw....not that that's wrong.....ok I'm done now)
"Match Them" - Good advice. Mirror their physiology, best to avoid physical bout, but also maintaining mental composure is key.
Thanks for making my lunch time at school safer
U indian?
I wish i.learned this as a kid I was bullied all my life :( I always showed fear and they fed on it and got more aggressive... I hope many kids where i used to be watch this video and learn from it... great work thank you
Me too
Guys i love your video thanks!
The scars of a fight hurts less than a scar on your heart.
Good video, best to ways to intimidate are to look the guy straight in the eyes and tell him you want to fight, make sure to be confident and bring your hands up. Second way it to tell the guy to hit you, %95 of the time they will just walk away, but be ready in case they swing then counter punch.
Now for the second option i put, here is a great example of what to do if the person swings at you. "Bully gets beaten up" by "UltimateEpicFails", By the end of that video all that bully wants to do is stop fighting. Also remember to have a good "Pissed Off Face", alway helps.
Good stuff fellas
very good advice!
Never look wondering around especially looking like you're afraid or nervous, even when there's no one around, someone hidden may be watching you.
Fock this is true
Ant has some steez on that skatepark...Shane...back to the drawing board on that. Good video!
whenever am in such a situation i just remember something that pissed me off very much this just gives me more aggression and confidence i get a come what may attitude
You're right. Good for kids to learn. Good job fellas
i've experienced this,,and you know it helps, true,
Your a legend bro❤
Awesome learning tactics and watching some skateboarding!
TKS this and the others videos will gona help
Just put your hands in your pockets from a relatively safe distace, smile while maintaining eye contact when the other is cussing. Abruptly change to a serious face and just see how he stumbles. (Works like a charm 90% of the time)
A Scambodian thief and liar and ex-friend tried to act tough when he was trying to intimidate me to get money out of me based on a lie, and he put his hands in his pockets, and later he put his hand on my neck with a tall Pakistani drug addict next to him since he's a coward afraid of fighting on equal terms. :-) I'm a Christian though, so I did not fight back. I refused to give them my money, proved the guy lied, on facebook showing a conversation I had with him, and just yanked his arm making him lose balance while he had his hand on my neck. I am not afraid of death 'cause I go to heaven when I die. Another time I told the Pakistani thug "I'm not afraid of you!" to his face, which required me looking straight up. LOL. But seriously. I'm not afraid. Now they try to avoid me. One of them thinks I'm crazy since he doesn't understand how a victim could possibly try to disempower bullies which I did by being fearless thanks to God who will raise me up and vindicate me, and burn my enemies forever. :-)
I have fought thieves before to save women, so I fight for others, but I have to turn the other cheek for myself.
you can intimidate with screaming as well as with being silent is all about the way you present yourself, being controld and calm, but not showing weakness.
It helped me see the truth... thankyou boys
This hilarious, but serious guys awesome video.
Guys, the best possible way to fight is to avoid it!!! Fighting is your last resort of communication. Believe me, I know. I have three black belts and I've been in some fucked up situations. Nowadays, what I do is this, I ask the guy nicely, tell him that I'm a black belt master and that I don't want any trouble. If he continues with bullying I neutralize him with a simple move, still trying not to hurt him (badly). That is my advice. Avoid fights. Stay smart. P.S. If you can.
dude 3/4 times this actually works if there not drunk or on drugs cuz most people want to fuss no one wants to fight but u do bring up a valid point with lifting
If for whatever reason you're stuck in a dangerous high crime rate area, to avoid attracting trouble onto yourself here are my suggestions according to my own life experience: always walk straight ahead like you have an intention toward a destination nearby, as if you're going to a friend's place or a business like a store or restaurant, act like you're going some place with purpose.
Good intelligent video guys....good advice 👍
Shane did you already fight someone? Or do you have a video that your fightung sombody?
I'm your fan, i learned so many thing to you and now i'm dping graet at self defence,
#bullysucks!
Awesome tips
old but gold
very good guys! cheers thanks
Wow, great insult, literally in tears over here.
Some of his tips are pretty basic (like not throwing haymakers), but they are valid for learning how to fight.
You must not have been in very many fights, or know what a fight actually is.
thanks for the vid brother
totaly agreed. and i want to point out that there is some best oppertunity to score a instant KO in the first senario. you avoid eye contact but your eye is on guard at his hands. thats good. His is angry talking, busy pushing and having his eyes fixed on your face in such a close range. a left hook coming from his far right can be out of his sight, and out of his prediction due to you act of backing off. the bad thing about this is you may risk trouble by police. and your oponent may later seek revenge. if you avoid the fight by intimidating your opponent, you two may gain due respect. and later become friends.
