Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- I challenged strangers in Venice Beach, California to take me down for $100.
For those who are new to the channel - I wrestled for 3 years in high school and I'm a blue belt in jiu jitsu.
Shoutout to Dylan Palacio - he’s an All-American wrestler for Cornell and he inspired the tear away shorts / singlet and basically the entire concept of this video.

Losing against that 16 year old who not only had a fair advantage weightwise, but also showed solid technique is fair game. You did great!
He’s a Washington state qualifier in high school for wrestling I suppose..
The end of this video shows why Bradley Marten would destroy Demetrius Johnson in a grappling match.

Weight does matter!!!
Look at the weight difference lol
German dude was actually giving advice in Russian saying: when you wrestle go down and go for a double leg takedown
These guys were as Russian as Vodka.
This is the comment. They came from Germany, doesn't mean they are German or speaking German.
Yep. You could immediately tell those guys were Eastern European by the way they looked even before they spoke, definitely not German.
They just Russians dont wanna say they are russians.
@@magicxox yeah, because they are actually KGB agents
That 16 year old is an animal. That dad hasn’t stopped smiling since that day 😂
He was in a different weight class
@@marvinmj7075he's also 16
me 2 he strong fr giant and his technics where good 2 wow what monster won against him in qualfy
bro he already fight many people...
nah weight matter haha
Love the attitude of the first guy. Humble enough to recognize he doesn't stand a chance, but dove in anyway for the learning experience. 💪
Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect we all have sinned fallen short of the glory of God, except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. (Until you accept his gift of salvation. You will be seen perfect in his eyes because Jesus Christ paid the price.)Forsake meaning do not sin. (You may stumble but just rely on the Lord he’s got you in Jesus name.) We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again of the spirit to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. (John 3:3) !
God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior .
God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️❤❤😊❤😊
we must learn.
@@Bananahammock88yeah you would’ve just kept walking cause you’re scared of what everyone would think of you
This
@@Bananahammock88nope. Humility will put you into the fire, to earn real skills. Thats where real confidence comes from.
What you talk about is fake confidence. And thats paper thin
That 16 year old kid can do anything, any sport that fits his frame and become a pro, he truly has his entire life ahead of him. I hope his father guides him well and he succeeds in life.
Success may not mean a sport that makes him wealthy. Maybe success will be a happy garbage collector, with a Christian family that loves the Lord. I don't get why the world only equates success with financial gain...???
I wouldn’t say anything but he’s definitely got a good build for a lot of different sports. Put him on a skateboard though and he’s done for lol
He looks like the guy that beat brock lesnar in a wrestling tournament.
@@garrisonsavage2323 "Any sport that fits his frame" - I don't think skateboarding qualifies xD
@@krazed0451 True
That's kid has something, he responded very quick! More than just big guy.
Moved fast for a big guy. When I saw him swing that collar tie like a whip I knew Ryan was in for a match.
The impressive thing about Landon is that he knew he had to attack. If he let you take a shot on him, you could have taken him down. Your shot got countered by him actually taking a shot (which you don’t see it’s big guys).
they just went for the takedown at the same time
And that's why the dude is a state qualifier at heavyweight (or likely the 215lb division) as a sophomore. You don't see the younger classmen doing well at the higher weight classes much unless they got some good IQ and natural talent unless they have been a life long wrestler.
Yeah especially once the kid gets some man strength he has a lot of potential if he stays with it. I would’ve liked to see him go up against some actual competition though. Interested how he looks when competing against someone who is actually a high level wrestler.
@@boneless444 if you read the comment that is exactly what he said
He just big manned him. Headlock wasn't that good
Imagine Khabib walking by
More like Kyle Dake
Demolished in 3 seconds lol
I'd just get the 16 year old.
@@bennybennyson1079 Bro??
One look at khabib's ears and its a hard pass
That 16 year old boy can play any contact sports the way he moves his big body in total balance with athleticism. Damn impressive.
Are you sad wha'm broke up
Not any sport he'd be getting his ankle broken in soccer for example he'd be too slow but maybe good for football
16 year old man*
@@extraterrestrial3509”contact sport”learn to read
@@extraterrestrial3509he specified “contact sport”, which would automatically exclude soccer, baseball, and ballet
I love how you actually went against guys who could beat you, there’s another channel where they do this for BJJ but it’s never against anyone who is equally as good. That 16 year old was a bear 🐻
ua-cam.com/video/erSvIdb1gSE/v-deo.html - I would like to see him against one of the Miyao bros
Absolute character was shown by all👍
You talking about Sandman bjj
Sandman went against some European kids who were legit BJJ guys
yeah, like it was even fair. The weight discrepancy was too much and he had skill
Landon is 16 years old?! Dang he is HUGE for his age.

This is dope because of the control he has over his opponents, he makes sure they don’t get hurt.

Need more content of this man. This kind of content way so much better than pranking others at the beach
If landons parents see this - keep feeding that young man
I love how he went super easy on the non-wrestlers. It takes a ton of talent to be able to dial it up and down like that.
same lol
Not really....
@@hector5749 oh well since you put it like that I'm convinced.
@@dennyb6768if you have a certain basic level of skill it's not hard to shift downwards and go lighter
The fact that you showed your loss at the end made me subscribe! That kid was a monster and you had already rolled with so many people that day. No one talks about the stamina it takes to do this challenge. I’m sure if you were fresh you’d have him. Have you ever bumped into Sandman who did the BJJ challenge?
No shame in getting taken down by a state qualifier with that much size advantage, and everyone had fun except the Germans
russians. no german spoken there
@@jasonlederfine9513
@@jasonlederfine9513 they weren't german and didn't speak german. They spoke kind of a slavic language I guess it was russian. Nikolai btw is a russian name
Ok but he’s challenging random people on the beach while being an actual wrestler. That isn’t impressive it’s douchey.
@@BobRoss-wm3lc no it's a fun little challenge and he makes it clear he's an actual wrestler.
you should be the brand ambassador/scout/encourager for wrestling. The way you bring unwilling people to compete against you is simply amazing.
My whole goal is to spread the sport so that means a lot, thank you!
It takes so much courage to take on total strangers that have no idea what to do so you have to be prepared for everything. Great matches and no arguing or anger or trash talking. Nice to see.
Bro this is Venice beach everybody's chill nobody's gonna stab you
no crazy ppl come there?@@LosmiPZS
This would honestly be the perfect video idea and excuse for Ryan to manhandle and finally humble Bradley Martyn
Bradley is 260 tho...
@@angelmurphy6832 But maybe that day he could be 259.9 lb tho...

@@_________________________nooO3but he’s 260 tho
This is actually such a good idea to complement your training. Sometimes people who aren't experienced in your sport can do completely unexpected things that may actually work. Things you would have never thought of.
Love the way you take them down and not slamming, especially the first guy. No ego, even in challenge, thats great
Great humility from everyone there. “Men learn as they teach” awesome video Ryan!
Bro..... protect Landon at all costs! He's a national treasure!
Can someone knows about Landon's more videos or social media account
😒
he is clearly capable of protecting himself
@@appa609 well said
I wonder if he has a youtube or some other social media?
Great video! As a wrestler myself, this shows that skill AND size are definitive factors on who can win in a conflict
The combination of size, strength AND technique got the job done on this day. Great job all around
Landon ... 16 years old ... is he going into the NFL draft anytime soon? Dang, the kid's so big and strong, and he's quick, too! Congrats to Landon, and good job, too, Ryan. Very fun challenge!
I just have tremendous respect on him using control on his mat returns, rather than him looking to garner reaction from slamming. That’s a good practice partner
Yes. This was very nice to see.
the fact that you wrestled all those strong ass dudes on a HOT beach and still had gas in the tank is crazy man
@@boddysurfer you’re weird
Awesome vid. Very good sportsmanship being gentle on the non-wrestlers and not snapping anyone's face into the sand.
16 and 240 and a washington state qualifier? I would’ve been like, no kid, scram 😂
But I’m actually glad you wrestled him that was great content to put on here!
It shows why there is a reason for weight classes😂
🤣🤣
WA state qualifier means almost nothing
@@HowlettYTI’m not even an obscure rural unincorporated town qualifier 😂
@@HowlettYTit means the guy can wrestle more than everyone else who showed up and he won .
@@HowlettYTwell obviously it does mean something he won the match😂 at 16 years old that kid is huge and very quick and agile for a large person
You were very nice and gentle with that first guy 👍
True
Very good introduction for someone who always wanted to wrestle. I get to see people
Who have never done it before, people who have and people who are experts. Very good, and I appreciate you sharing.
You're pretty good dude. Before MMA was even a thing, my father was a wrestler and stressed the importance of grappling in real fights. I literally had to learn the basics just to survive growing up with the guy lol. As you shown here in this video, ppl with no wrestling background have no idea what to do or what's even happening in the moment
Hahahha
Dude if I was Landon’s Dad I would be crying and embracing him for that Victory! I hope he continues with wrestling dudes a TANK!!!
that's the thing, there's no way you would be his dad. you're way too small

The way he level matched instantly with you for the takedown was insane
Dude what an epic video idea! I’m genuinely impressed 🔥 Landon is a beast GOOD GAAAH! Throughly enjoyed this mane!!
Ayee thanks dude!
Love this! Super humble, fun and not being a jerk and going 100mph against non wrestlers. I always hated rolling against big dudes in BJJ that would go 100mph knowing they had a massive weight advantage.
Impressive skills my guy! Nice of you to give your back with the few seconds left to allow him to solidify his mount, respect. You are both absolute beasts!
Wow underrated comment. I didn't even notice the first watchthru that he could have stalled out the win but he went to his back at the last second to give it to him. Great sportsmanship and very cool, especially with money on the line.
@@darren763 totally, I used to train Jiujitsu and after seein that, he totally earned my respect , well he earned it even before that but solidified it even more, dudes a stud.
It was still a takedown anyway
@@Rickai85 kind of, he sprawled
That was fun to watch. It's obvious how careful you are to not hurt or injure your challenger. It looks like fun - a great way to stay in shape doing what men love to do - compete.
All state wrestler here, I just wanted to point out that wrestling in the sand is tough. Me and my bros have done it multiple times. It’s definitely a challenge.
So hard, ankles get literally sucked into the sand and stuck lol
After a few beers in your undies
Respect bro, not doing any wild stuff against guys who are just giving it a shot. Nice and controlled the whole way. Respect
That kid was well trained. Look at how he stuffed Ryan's extremely low shot at 08:42 the kid got low and got his underhooks set, he had lightening fast response time.
That kid weighs a lot more than him though😂😂
@@yair7227 For sure, I was just saying he had other skills to go along with the big weight advantage.
This kid is great, but this wasnt a reaction, he just wanted to do the same thing.
That was incredible work against that kid! He was a BEAST!
Yeah especially once the kid gets some man strength he has a lot of potential if he stays with it. I would’ve liked to see him go up against some actual competition though. Interested how he looks when competing against someone who is actually a high level wrestler.
He is huge for 16.
Is he a wrestler himself ?

@@checksoverstripes2498 the kid was a state champion in wrestling Bradley doesnt grapple
Happy for the 16 year olds dad, I know bro was super proud
That kid definitely knew what he was doing. Damn. Everyone at the beach in impeccable shape 🥹

what are you talking about lmao impeccable shape..
Dude, what? Are you an american used to excess fat everywhere?
yea, lmao most those people definitely were overweight according to BMI@@An0niem4
Impeccable shape??? LOL Guess you've never been to a gym
I like that you took care of everyone, making sure they landed right, no injuries etc. Great vid.
I love that people are willing to give it a shot with no experience. They're even happy to see the skill level
The way Landon countered that takedown attempt at 8:47 showed he was in it to win it. And Ryan has great cardio.
Humble even in defeat and a man of your word. That kid was a beast. You got a new subscriber
5:15 he was speaking Russian not German. Translation: In order to fight you've got to get down and go for the legs.
Those guys spoke russian or something similar, definitely not germans lol.
True, that was russian😂
There are many Russians in Germany though
lol makes sense. def russian/slavic sense of humor, not german
Dude just casually wrestled with some KGB guys...
@@paulgs3273only if KGB in this case is Karaoke Gay Bar
2:01 looks like a street fighter background, with people jumping and cheering 😂😂😂
It’s cool seeing how you deal with athletic spazzy people
Athletic and spazzy don't really go together, because athletic generally means decent physical coordination. Athletic but unskilled is possible, so is fit/muscular but uncoordinated/spazzy.
i love your videos!!! i got into BJJ in january and i’ve been watching a lot of BJJ youtubers, i recently found you this week, but i think you’re my favorite BJJ youtuber
Aye thanks dude!
BJJ? What are you talking about? There was no BJJ in this video.
How hard must it be to understand the words "wrestling", "wrestle" and "wrestler", which were used multiple times in the video?
"BJJ" 😂
You gave him your back with a few seconds left. Really good sportsmanship on your behalf, when you didn’t have to. I applaud you.
You showed that end challenge! You are a very nice, humble guy.
That looks like heaps of fun. Great to see men just having a good time and keeping it real
Kid is a champ in the making. Let's go 💪
Landon was a beast! Great video 🔥
In that thumbnail, you looked like Demian Maia. I said to myself: "Is Homeboy bringing Demian Maia to wrestle a bunch of random civilians at the Beach?!" lmao
Lol
😂
Damien Maia mixed with Houston Jones
Love Washington state wrestling getting the recognition, we’re a better state at wrestling than we get credit for
Wouldn't be shocked to see the 16 year old in the ufc one day, big men who can wrestle do well
9:15 This is the moment the IRS drone was waiting for. The 16 year old won't escape the tax man.
that 16 year old caught you coming in
i love the videos man, u make grappling look so fun
It is!
It is fun if your good
@@TheBardicWolf Any method to make it fun if you are bad and need to improve ?
Leave your ego at the door. Learning is fun and getting your ass beat builds character.
@@BogalaSawundiriswork hard
That match with Arlen was lit. Luv watching two attack based wrestlers go at it.
Was he a homeless dude though?
@@BrooklynPeterParkerwhy would that have any impact on whether or not it was a good match?
Dad has to be so proud. Good job young man!
Mom has to be so so tired.
Your performance in the last match was very impressive considering the weight difference. Credit to you both.
That level change at 8:47. That is when you knew you were going to lose.
I reckon it was from the first head snap at 8:18 and the second one a few seconds later. Ryans' posture (and demeanor) changed after the first head snap. He knew it was game over.
Landon knew how to use his weight advantage. Like Tyson Fury leaning on Deontay Wilder in their 2nd fight.
Losing to a 16 year old at anything, especially fighting/wrestling is every man’s worst nightmare 😂
Dang, he was holding back too! If he went hard against people who have no idea about grappling, they'd probably hurt themselves.
If Nikolai and Alex learn to grapple, they would be absolute monsters
Luv the vids bro. I see you blowing up real soon 💪
I could only think of the Attack on Titan theme when Landon out. Nice vid!
😂
Excellent video. I thoroughly enjoyed the sportsmanship and good vibes.
life will be short , yet great for landon.
Wow, that head and arm ride at the end was textbook.
That kid has a great story to not just tell, but show for the rest of his life! 👍
Haha this video hits home!! Myself and a few of my friends (all in our mid 20s) ran into a couple high school wrestlers at the beach. All of us outweighed all of them by 20-30lbs and it wasn't even close... These kids had all of us face down in the sand in about 10 seconds. 🤣🤣
Yeah people who've never wrestled have no clue how fast a wrestler can have them flat on their back. My friend thought the same and few others at parties. Said I'd have my buddy flat on his back in a minute but took me 45 seconds but he was pretty stout n lifted weights.
That kid was a beast yo. Crazy he’s only 16
Loved this vid. Great sports all of you that took part.
Greetings from the England and the British Busen Judo Association
Just imagine if Dylan Palacio showed up to this challenge 😂

5:21 As a gernan, I can tell you that much: that wasn't german. Probably a language from eastern europe.
This russian language)))
i like how you secured all take downs and didnt put much force into the guilhotine, you manage all nicely bro!!
Николай и Алексей из Германии. Поэтому в пересменке они на чистейшем немецком говорили😌😁
5:19 isn't German, sounds a lot like polish to me but maybe some other slavic language as he mentions "noğe"- Legs.
Это русский) точно могу сказать
It Russian language, 100%
That kid is going to be a champion some day, what an absolute unit and he actually has very good skills and fundamentals.
Don't try that again ?😅
Landon BIG AS HELL BOY
He was so gentle with first guy…love it
16 year old monster 🔥💪
Love your videos man
The 2 dudes didnt speak german though, sounds scandinavian to me :)
its russians!😁
This kid is a freak of nature. 16 years and 240 lbs + a state qualifier?
We will see him in the UFC
That 16-year-old kid has some serious potential. He moves quick for 240 pounds. I subscribed just cause you showed your loss to a 16 yo lol
5:10 it was no german it was russian and he said that he go spring to the legs I speak German and russian.
yes 💯
I haven't wrestled in 30yrs, I miss it. wish there was an old guy league.
Me and Landon are the same age💀. Some people are just built different, no sweat. Nice video man!
Thanks dog
