But who cares about it? At the end you die. So let's have fun with these illegal things. So, who got my AK-47? For the drug deal war? xd Make sure you have a truck that can cut of the FBI. Have few guys with RPGS waiting for the Police helicopter. Sure it's fun. Although it's real life xddd Illegal stuff is fun. I mean, it is, right. Only if we weren't playing with our lifes. But I agree with you in general :D Because this stuff is fun :D
“I want to be a martial artist but I don’t want to get punch in the face, or get slam on the ground, I like slow gentle competition that nobody can get hurt from it.” “Go for IBJJF.”
As a BJJ guy this is totally what bjj is. It is as close to real fight as you can get without actually hurting somebody/getting hurt. (I wish they had better takedown rules like Abu dhabi combat club.
Edmund Nelson IBJJF rules are nothing close to a real fight. In all the Combat sport, we limit the damage, but we don’t make it totally safe, because martial arts has been made to hurt people, without any thing dangerous, it’s going to become something else, maybe a sport, but certainly not martial arts. I like combat Jiujitsu rules, and MMA rules, Royce Grace proved you can beat 5 guy under no-rules and keep yourself in one piece with BJJ.
IBJJF rules always stunk of "we don't want anyone using things that are very effective versus traditional BJJ" like with leg locks, back in the day they were frowned on, so was a case of "we don't really do leg locks, so don't want people coming in from else where like Sambo or Catch and tapping us with leg locks" so they limit the leg locks and remove the reap, not because it's dangerous, but because it gives the best control and is very hard to get out of, thus limiting the effectivness of leg locks. same with not allowing some takedowns, to try and cut down on the effectiveness of wrestlers. and then we get to Slams, that is a stupid rule, I hate seeing people hanging off of someone because they know they can't be slammed, it just stupid and the reality would be they would get their head smashed into the floor. now sure getting slammed is dangerous and could easily injure people, not something you want as your Sunday afternoon tournament where everyone has work the next day. but if slams were legal, they people would LET GO when they get picked up, and if they were really worried about people not letting go, then make it so if you get picked up, you should have to let go. it all reminds me of PKA above the waist kickboxing, where they put in the stupid rule of you must throw 8 kicks per round, to prevent boxers coming in and doing well in kickboxing, well here is an idea, instead of making silly rules to swings things in your favour, how about change the rules to make your martial art better and allow kicks below the waist, leg kicks will shut down a boxer pretty quick well making your more effective.
Alot of the leg lock stuff comes from Brazil, where if you pulled a leg lock on one of the locals they'd start throwing stuff, and if you won with it there might be a riot. I do agree with you that people hanging off others is stupid but slamming can't really be allowed. It's too likely to cause a life altering injury.
yeah i agree, slams are dangerous.most injuries in jiu jitsu come from falling body weight rather than submissions. but i think the rule should be that the person must let go, so don't allow slams but don't allow people to exploit the fact there are no slams. plus i have seen a lot of poor DQ's. like a guy going for a single leg, they the other one deciding to jump guard causing them both to fall and the guy with the single leg got DQ'ed despite the fact it was the guy pulling guard that caused himself to get 'slammed'
Mr Rhombus fadda lineage was good jn leg locking gracie didnt, plus luta livre has awesome leglocks that absorb by catch. In last 10 years bjj leglock system have been improve because of competions,crosstraining,absorbing of luta livre and that a lot jiu jitsukad focus on leglocks
Ironically, Rhonda made a reputation by having an awful attitude towards her competition, but the person that defeated her was extremely humble and loving. It's a better way of living and fighting, in my personal opinion. But just a fight would be nice because fighters act like children in the UFC.
The mentality of 'i'm the good guy so i'm a good fighter' is why i stopped watching WWE. It was fun for me when i was a kid, but it began to deter me from fighting. The truth is i actually got into martial arts in school when i took a karate class, but i wasn't really into it. What actually got me inspired was the game Batman Arkham Asylum, where i realised that batman's striking techniques were the same techniques we did. Then i found out that my grandad has a black belt in karate and Japanese Jujutsu, and he recommended that i do judo. So i did, and now my whole mindset of fighting has changed right down to my preference. I used to love striking and hated fights that went to the ground because i didn't know what was going on, i thought nothing was going on and it was just strength and cumbersomeness. But now i see the reality of what grappling offers
jimmy alderson I’m the opposite I’ve always had natural ability for grappling having long arms and legs and being very squirmy, I swept a dude on my first ever lesson, it just felt natural. But I had that fear you had, but for striking, so I made a point of not stopping til I had trained to a point of being confident standing, but I will always take it to the ground in a real fight out of instinct
I went the other way, I started training in pro wrestling because there didn't seem to be a place for me in MMA. I love it now. But I definitely still get why it would put people off... all that surrounding stuff? That's not even meant to be the point, but the WWE often treats it that way, making it more of a soap opera. Your in-ring moves are supposed to tell the story, all the extra stuff is only supposed to enhance it. I don't mind a little of it, but it's absolutely overdone. At the same time, at least in that discipline storytelling is an actual part of the test... it makes a whole lot less sense (and is a whole lot more annoying) when fighting sports do it and pretend like it isn't even an act.
Personally I am from an Ibjjf school BUT I understand its limitations and I have forced myself to learn takedowns and take up wrestling classes as well as thai boxing classes. BJJ is still killer on the ground, but I do recognize the tools to go on the ground are lacking. I even really discourage myself to do very sport heavy gi techniques, such as worm guard and spider guard, I still do de la riva because it can still be used in no gi AND can be used in mma if you are quick. My main game in BJJ is Single Leg X guard sweep to leg locks, or x guard sweep to get on top and submit in side control or let them roll over to sprawl and slap on a guillotine (my fav choke)
Getting good at anything takes time, takes repetition, takes discipline, and reflection. I've been playing drums for nearly 40 years and I'm still perfecting techniques, working on time, polyrhythms, pacing, dynamics, etc. The same is true with fighting, cooking, gardening, you name it. Sucking at first is just natural and it takes a while to work the suck out. Haha! Great video!
Connor is a character. He’s humble in some ways, you can see that when he analyzes his losses. He’s cocky and prideful in others. He’s great television and a skilled fighter. GSP is a wonderful human being but he was never the ratings beast that McGregor is. I’d rather be friends with GSP, I’d rather watch McGregor
I am learning forex trading and investing and I have been taught a very important lesson “Past successes do not guarantee future results”. You can win big but lose it all with one bad decision and it has happened to many investors. This mindset is true in every aspect of your life. Stay humble and don’t get cocky.
The fact most people on the ufc and professional boxing taunt each other just for the crowd to have a buzz, is the reason I rarely watch that shit anymore.. And after the fight as well.. The standard " you're shit, and you cant fight", drive me mad.. That's why I love the oldschool K1 fights and the old pancrase fights where it's all about respect..
We had a small local competition recently for y in my area and it was like open school open style grappling. I was excited bc even if you lose in the first round it's still great to meet new people and see flaws you may be blind to I literally list all desire to try when I saw it was ibjjf rules....I'm just like well shit there goes half of my toolbox out the window
If I made 3 million on one fight, I would retire too and never get punched in the face or choked out again! (i might miss it a bit tho..lol) Riding the coat tails of other better RETIRED fighters is just lame..thanks for calling it out
A prizefighter's job has always been to sell tickets/sell PPV/get eyeballs, this has nothing to do with the "social media age". This has been the case since the time James Figg and Jack Broughton
To be fair, prior to her retirement, one of the issues I saw in Rousey's technique is that her recovery was slow after punching. I actually noted the precise square inch she would get knocked out through a month before her defeat (actually had time stamps on that conversation I had with a friend). It bothered me that she sort of split her training to include striking. Don't get me wrong, it is important, but were I her, I'd focus on figuring out how to ensure my primary skill set can be implemented around that area of weakness (i.e. defending against striking and countering it). Rousey's an Olympic level Judoka, she has a master skill set, it feels counterproductive to distract from further developing it.
Ha! My first ten fights was sanda fights. And they did indeed suck. I had done alot of striking sparring before my first fight. Against kyokushin guys and wtf Taekwondo guys. Both groups under their own ruleset. Both styles is kinda missing one important thing. Man did i ever eat punches to the face.. 😱
Nice work keeping the message simple but very clear. Could you tell me some of the names in the "great fighters who don't wear masks, just train" that I could look into? Curious to see their work. Thanks
Hi sir ! I'm agree with you about the " show aspect" and the " personnality " the fighter must have , but There were exceptions, like Fedor who the first Time you Saw him you think " what does this Shy and sleepy plumbers do on a mma fight ?"
Same with me. I did a lot of full contact stand up fighting when I was young, and looking back at how I fought in those beginning years, I became thankful that there were no cameras on phones back then! I sucked, and I sucked bad.
I watched some movies, practices some moves in y bedroom, read Bruce Lee books, did some running to get ripped and I was a true professional fighter. I could visualise my self as the top UFC fighter that can take anyone, any size easily. I knew a guy that was like this :D Either mental problems or ego problems : p
I just seen this video. I agree fully. I do practice BJJ, but it is not a skill alone that will win you a MMA fight. You will need a good skill set in many other arts to compete. But to make a challenge to Ronda, who is retired just shows the lack of awareness that she has.
Patricia Tracy Flores you need to get hit and with experience you will stop fearing getting hit. Also you can drill just defense. Meaning stand with your back to the wall so you can’t back up and have a training partner throwing punches at you while you defend. Remember to keep your eyes open too good luck
Do like I kyokushin and just let hubby hit you in the body with leg kicks etc. As soft and as slow as you need til you get built up to something more deliberate For face strikes I recommend you honestly just let someone lightly slap you on the cheek after you brace yourself. If you wanna do it with punches have them use gloves and hit you VERY VERY LIGHTLY from there you can honestly just do sparring with light contact. Unfortunately that's the only safe ways I can think of. The reality is there's no way to develope a chin you either have it or you don't. But learning how to position and guard to take the hit pays massive dividends And finally to be perfectly honest it's the hit you never see coming that'll lay you out so you don't have to worry about being afraid of that one lol
Interesting. I have only ever heard McKenzie talking very respectfully about Rousey, and a quick google search didn't really bring up anything different either.
I don't fight MMA, i just do judo competitions, and i've only done a few competitions and i've done really well in them, i've only lost in competition once. But i look back on the fights and i see so many things that i could've done that i didn't do. Even when i execute a clean technique, the technique is great and powerful and worthy of the score it gets, but the build up to it was so half assed i'd almost say it was flukish. And i'm only halfway to black belt (where the real journey in judo will begin) and i've learned so much from a year or two ago (one that comes to mind was actually a few months ago). So despite the humiliation i get when i look back at them (although i do get a sense of pride from winning with good techniqje) it makes me so happy to know that i'fe learned so much and still haven't even begun learning. It makes me shiver to think of all the things i could learn and will learn as long as i keep persisting
Not to be an armchair coach here , but have you considered calling other dojo's and dropping in just to mess with fresh meat? Dealing with strangers once a month or so could help with the nerves IMO.
Brandon Harris it's not really fighting new people that gave me nerves, it was fighting new people while others watch, knowing that if i lose then that's all they'll see. I go to two local clubs, i don't make a habit of trying to beat up pn other people. The only people my grade and age are already in my main club, and there aren't too many of them. The rest are a lot older and higher graded or a lot younger and lower graded
Brandon Harris i don't really have a problem with nerves anymore, i was merely detailing my prior experience And nerves can actually help, as ramsey's explained as i may or may not have explained, because it gives you adrenaline, which is very important especially if you go to tournaments that aren't in your local area so you need to leave really early. The issue is when your nerves go into excess, as as i've detailed i have my own system of dealing with that issue
i absolutely agree 100% however if ronda, or anyone else fights mackenzie and goes to the ground they will wish they hadnt. wether they fall down or take her down.
So right! If you don't suck at first, something is wrong! Rhonda lost because she was being managed and not trained. She put on the back burner what she was great at, world class grappling, in order attempt to strike with world class strikers. A good move if you are also a world class striker. She wasn't. She also looked liked she had never been hit by a decent striker, until the fight(s), so you know she was not training realistically, i.e. getting hit. She won when she used her ability to avoid taking direct damage, controlling distance, off-balancing her opponent and gaining tactical advantage for submission, usually in mid-air during a take-down, in a word-Judo. The few fights she won with strikes were anomalies. Not luck, but close. She was a powerful person who could use her body as a weapon. But not as skillful a weapon in striking as a world class striker. The opponents that beat Rhonda were not grapplers. Few in MMA could match her prowess in grappling. Her striking was nowhere near the level of her grappling, but for some reason she tried to strike with strikers whose striking was at the same proficiency as her grappling. My best friend is a great striker. He grew up bare knuckle fighting as a child and teen, then boxed all over the world in the military. I am can hold my own with most as a striker, but not at his level. My background started in striking, and then I got into mostly grappling. I cross trained a lot before there was a name for it, but for me to try to out strike him in a fight would be foolish. I use my primary strength against his primary weakness, and use my striking primarily to create enough of a threat/distraction to gain an opening to use my advantage. A 100lb person with a pry bar has 0% chance of derailing a train by meeting it head on. But by removing a few 1lb spikes and shifting the rails a few inches they can derail a 50 million ton freight train. You can not attack someone with greater ability in their strength, and expect to gain advantage. That is why it is incumbent on people who are wanting to be good fighters to be proficient in several seemingly unrelated disciplines, i.e. striking and grappling. I believe you should have a primary discipline that you are far better in, rather than a jack of all trades, master of none. Otherwise you become typical UFC fighter with mediocre skills in a lot of areas, but not really good at anything to dominate an opponent. Works on the street against unskilled opponents, but not well trained fighters.
I wouldn't say ibjjf means nothing, it means a lot - but i do agree it means *a lot less* than many people would think for MMA. I don't think the knee reaping thing matters much for mma: if you come from ibjjf environment, it means you probably won't be a leglock specialist - no big deal, most bjj guys who succeded in MMA weren't, they were about the basics as you've said in some videos. May change in the future with the DDS, but i'm not really seeing it tbh. Leglocks are imo very popular right now because they allow you to beat more veteran grapplers who aren't that good at them, but if you're a bjj guy you probably have the grappling edge anyway if and once you're on the ground. It also means you are less good at defending them, but again very few people specialize in leglocks in MMA and you'd much better prepare for all the other people that don't actually intend to grapple with you. But yes, takedowns matter infinitely more in MMA than bjj. After all, in MMA you win if you're better at your opponent in some area AND can get your opponent in said area. If you can't, how much better you are doesn't matter. So a bjj competitor looking to break into mma probably already has all the bjj he needs for any match besides "mirrors" and should really be focusing the vast majority of his time in wrestling and some boxing. In that regard, I really do believe GSP was the "prototype" of the perfect mma fighter, and I also miss the time were UFC was more about your skill than about how much noise you can make inside (and outside, as conor has taught us!) press conferences. The GSP "insult" will always be my favourite as well. On a sidenote, i totally agree with you on reality tv, and on the part about leeching popularity, and it's really annoying if you can see through it. Btw, single with head outiside are only illegal at white belt, as of this yaer. Not sure if it was different before. You also can't jump guard at white belts anymore, thankfully, but above it's still fair game.
Dern would tap the Rousey 99.9% and theres .000001% Rousey gets Dern in an armbar lol But totally get what you are saying brother. Keep up the insight.
i hate that smack talk stuff, more specifically that it is required to sell tickets...that's actually more reflective of the audience and what they are willing to pay for, and that's in our hands. If we as the audience, the ones paying for the tickets and/or the pay-per-views, if we decide not to celebrate that nonsense, then it's over
How can I find a good bjj gym, what’s the difference between Royce Gracie jujitsu and Gracie jujitsu, there are both of these in my town/ DONT want a mcdojo
I don’t understand this kind of. 1.) yes she has only face lower mma opponents but she mostly ran through them. Yoder lasted only because Mackenzie want to stand and bang. 2.) her approaches to rushing in and then clinching need work yes but Khabib does the same and he’s undefeated 3.) there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pulling guard and nobody is gonna want to play in her guard. It’s not garbage. If she can get people in her guard they are in trouble. She not trying to wrestle she is trying to do Jiu Jitsu. 4.) Lastly, no platform sets you up for mma that great. wrestling is arguably the best base but still it’s mma not wrestling.
I really wish I was still in good shape and strong like I was when I was younger. I learned to fight on the streets and on the school yard. I was a tank for my age due to growing up on a farm. I always favoured grappling because I never wanted to hurt anyone. Well, by "hurt" I mean, injure and destroy anyone who started a fight. I just wanted them to stop fighting me. I hear that you should never try to catch a fist because you'll never do it unless it's by luck but I remember a few times where I caught some of those super haymakers coming my way and took them to the ground. Sometimes I would dodge and go in for a throw or a trip. I remember a fucking huge monster of a man nobody would ever dream of fighting at my school that I did a double leg takedown and he went flat on his back and I got on top of him that way. Another guy jumped me from behind and drilled me in the back of the head a couple times and left some monster goose-eggs on me and I managed to spin, grab him and just lift him up from the waist to shoulder height and ran full force into a wall which knocked the wind out of him and he ran away. I really wonder what I would have been able to accomplish if I had ever entered professional fighting or studied at a real school for such a thing. I would love to test myself even today just to see what the pro levels are like. I've been in a couple fights already this year and I remember the fear going through me, yet, also the amount of adrenaline making me feel pumped right up and ready to go. Too bad I will never be rich enough to fly over to china to meet you. I've been wathcing a lot of your videos lately, I just came to this one from your "scared of fighting" video and it seems like you really get why people fight. I love friendly competition and sparring, I hate street fights but when one happens you have to roll with it and not become paralyzed with fear. There's no gyms worth getting into even if I wasn't a broke ass mess of a person in my city. Thanks for putting these out for us man.
The UFC bit is similar to what Jim Cornette says, which is that the UFC is the best pro-wrestling promotion around right now, except they actually fight.
That’s a great question! There are a lot of subtle but super important differences. One of the biggest ones is the range you’re able to punch from. This is a show not tell kind of question.
Great or sucks is all relative - if your goals are to be able to fight all of your life, going the route of IBJJF rules fit reality - people get hurt in BJJ, plain and simple. The less frequency, the more you can do BJJ and, more importantly, things that may have more existential meaning, like being able to use your shoulder to throw a baseball to your kid. Also, unless you are wealthy or too dumb to hold a job, you have to work (I just had shoulder surgery and couldn't even type for 2 weeks plus thousands of $ in med bills). Yeh, watching MMA or less restrictive rules from IBJJF is more fun as a spectator, but as for DOING it, a very small % are making a life or career. IBJJF makes a lot of sense for most of us.
@@RamseyDewey no I get that I'm just saying Ronda only had 14 fights. If her first ten sucked... Think about the possibilities if she fought for longer. Also her two losses were at the end. All I'm saying.
Heel, Face someone watches pro wrestling :) so do you think the ufc will go the same way as pro wrestling? It started as real fights over a hundread years ago and then they realised it was just easier to stage it all?
Isn’t that just the way ufc fighters get thier next fight and recognition? Just like wwe everything is fake, but unlike wwe the fight is real. It’s for the entertainment factor.
The International Brazilian Jiujitsu Federation is an organization that governs a particular style of BJJ sport competition. As far as I know, it’s not run by the Gracies
actually, it is. Founded and headed by Carlos Gracie jr., co-founder of the Gracie Barra brand. It's the Gracie side of the family that the others from "Gracie Jiu Jitsu™" loved to dismiss as point fighters because they had been dominating the competitive scene for a while (not so much anymore, with Atos, Checkmat etc).
I agree that IBJJF has stupid rules and that BJJ doesn't have enough focus on takedowns. That said, if two people whom are evenly matched physically (1 high school wrestler and 1 BJJ blue belt) grappled, I would bet on the blue belt EVERY time. It's stupid to call out IBJJF for their stupid rules and not acknowledge the stupid rules of wrestling, then claim a BJJ fighter would need to have the "wrestling background" to compete. Virtually all wrestlers have fits when they join a BJJ gym - it is superior to wrestling. Cross-training BJJ with Judo and boxing would probably cover all your bases.
talking smack gets you nowhere Last I heard rondas playing around in WWE circles.. a BJJ nothing champion vs an Olympic class judoka that I would love to see sad to say I doubt you would be on Ronda's to kill list at this stage as you wouldn't be on her radar as a fighter...
Hey Ramsey, I like you man, your skilled, knowledgeable and honest but I have one issue... in this video you made the comment being facetious about fighting Bruce Lee but I watched another video of you saying and I quote," I'm postulating that I could beat Bruce Lee. And the 2nd issue I have is your comment about attaching your name to someone more famous seems a little hypocritical because your constantly roasting Master Wong(However, I def agree with your views on that WIERDO) but he's clearly is more famous than you (ON UA-cam). I dont take an issue with it though, I think it's a good strategy to get your subs up. But, shooting it down when it seems like you follow the same pattern is comes off a little hypocritical. Maybe, you can correct me if I'm wrong but I just wanted you to know how you may be perceived by your core fans (like myself). Thank you BTW I KNOW THIS VID IS OLD BUT THE "INFRACTION" IS TIMELESS.
Ramsey Dewey exactly i almost always had my head on the outside and not once did anyone ever get hurt! The closest to someone getting hurt is when i would get crossfaced lol
Mackenzie Dern has a Gold Medal in Abu Dhabi which is no Gi and ADCC rules, can't pull guard for the first 10 minutes. Rhonda ADCC victories 0. In fact Mackenzie has an extensive No Gi winning record in grappling that far exceed Rhonda. Rhonda has an arm bar. Mackenzie laughs at her
"Everything fun is illegal" words cannot express how much I agree with this
But who cares about it?
At the end you die. So let's have fun with these illegal things.
So, who got my AK-47? For the drug deal war? xd
Make sure you have a truck that can cut of the FBI. Have few guys with RPGS waiting for the Police helicopter.
Sure it's fun. Although it's real life xddd
Illegal stuff is fun. I mean, it is, right. Only if we weren't playing with our lifes.
But I agree with you in general :D Because this stuff is fun :D
For sure, last night was crazy dude and… hold on a second I think the police are asking to see me.
“I want to be a martial artist but I don’t want to get punch in the face, or get slam on the ground, I like slow gentle competition that nobody can get hurt from it.”
“Go for IBJJF.”
As a BJJ guy this is totally what bjj is. It is as close to real fight as you can get without actually hurting somebody/getting hurt. (I wish they had better takedown rules like Abu dhabi combat club.
Edmund Nelson IBJJF rules are nothing close to a real fight.
In all the Combat sport, we limit the damage, but we don’t make it totally safe, because martial arts has been made to hurt people, without any thing dangerous, it’s going to become something else, maybe a sport, but certainly not martial arts.
I like combat Jiujitsu rules, and MMA rules, Royce Grace proved you can beat 5 guy under no-rules and keep yourself in one piece with BJJ.
Edmund Nelson bjj have a lot injuries and some are serious
Tang Mingchen you can beat 1000pp plp when they dont nothing about ground fighting and still beat up by matt hyges
Or a point karate tournament...lol
IBJJF rules always stunk of "we don't want anyone using things that are very effective versus traditional BJJ" like with leg locks, back in the day they were frowned on, so was a case of "we don't really do leg locks, so don't want people coming in from else where like Sambo or Catch and tapping us with leg locks" so they limit the leg locks and remove the reap, not because it's dangerous, but because it gives the best control and is very hard to get out of, thus limiting the effectivness of leg locks. same with not allowing some takedowns, to try and cut down on the effectiveness of wrestlers. and then we get to Slams, that is a stupid rule, I hate seeing people hanging off of someone because they know they can't be slammed, it just stupid and the reality would be they would get their head smashed into the floor. now sure getting slammed is dangerous and could easily injure people, not something you want as your Sunday afternoon tournament where everyone has work the next day. but if slams were legal, they people would LET GO when they get picked up, and if they were really worried about people not letting go, then make it so if you get picked up, you should have to let go.
it all reminds me of PKA above the waist kickboxing, where they put in the stupid rule of you must throw 8 kicks per round, to prevent boxers coming in and doing well in kickboxing, well here is an idea, instead of making silly rules to swings things in your favour, how about change the rules to make your martial art better and allow kicks below the waist, leg kicks will shut down a boxer pretty quick well making your more effective.
Alot of the leg lock stuff comes from Brazil, where if you pulled a leg lock on one of the locals they'd start throwing stuff, and if you won with it there might be a riot. I do agree with you that people hanging off others is stupid but slamming can't really be allowed. It's too likely to cause a life altering injury.
yeah i agree, slams are dangerous.most injuries in jiu jitsu come from falling body weight rather than submissions. but i think the rule should be that the person must let go, so don't allow slams but don't allow people to exploit the fact there are no slams.
plus i have seen a lot of poor DQ's. like a guy going for a single leg, they the other one deciding to jump guard causing them both to fall and the guy with the single leg got DQ'ed despite the fact it was the guy pulling guard that caused himself to get 'slammed'
Mr Rhombus fadda lineage was good jn leg locking gracie didnt, plus luta livre has awesome leglocks that absorb by catch. In last 10 years bjj leglock system have been improve because of competions,crosstraining,absorbing of luta livre and that a lot jiu jitsukad focus on leglocks
Many martial arts federation have been guilty of the same. Haha.
Vorador47 this is why I like MMA, fewer rules means fewer exploits so people become good a fighting rather than good at exploiting systems.
Ironically, Rhonda made a reputation by having an awful attitude towards her competition, but the person that defeated her was extremely humble and loving. It's a better way of living and fighting, in my personal opinion.
But just a fight would be nice because fighters act like children in the UFC.

At the same time, at least in that discipline storytelling is an actual part of the test... it makes a whole lot less sense (and is a whole lot more annoying) when fighting sports do it and pretend like it isn't even an act.
Personally I am from an Ibjjf school BUT I understand its limitations and I have forced myself to learn takedowns and take up wrestling classes as well as thai boxing classes. BJJ is still killer on the ground, but I do recognize the tools to go on the ground are lacking. I even really discourage myself to do very sport heavy gi techniques, such as worm guard and spider guard, I still do de la riva because it can still be used in no gi AND can be used in mma if you are quick. My main game in BJJ is Single Leg X guard sweep to leg locks, or x guard sweep to get on top and submit in side control or let them roll over to sprawl and slap on a guillotine (my fav choke)
“Many holds barred” - The IBJJF
Getting good at anything takes time, takes repetition, takes discipline, and reflection. I've been playing drums for nearly 40 years and I'm still perfecting techniques, working on time, polyrhythms, pacing, dynamics, etc. The same is true with fighting, cooking, gardening, you name it. Sucking at first is just natural and it takes a while to work the suck out. Haha! Great video!
I like this breakdown. Really shows the depth of your knowledge. Really calls out the culture as it merges into a global fight culture.
Also, I can’t stand cocky a-hole fighters...humility is amazing..give me GSP any day over a mcgregor
Cocky a hole lmao
Cocky in prediction, Confident in preparation, humble in victory or defeat-Conor Mcgregor
Connor is a character. He’s humble in some ways, you can see that when he analyzes his losses. He’s cocky and prideful in others. He’s great television and a skilled fighter. GSP is a wonderful human being but he was never the ratings beast that McGregor is. I’d rather be friends with GSP, I’d rather watch McGregor
@@jordanpresnell4697 my foot was a BeLLeWN
I am learning forex trading and investing and I have been taught a very important lesson “Past successes do not guarantee future results”. You can win big but lose it all with one bad decision and it has happened to many investors. This mindset is true in every aspect of your life. Stay humble and don’t get cocky.
BITCOIN TO THE MOON BITCHES
Grappling without shooting, throws and locks is just glorified love-making.
Stay humble like Khabib!
Aries Mongoose from Streetbeefs here, this vid helped me a lot after my lackluster performance
Yeah man, that loss is a thing of the past. You’ll rise above it. It’s just one step of the learning process.
The fact most people on the ufc and professional boxing taunt each other just for the crowd to have a buzz, is the reason I rarely watch that shit anymore.. And after the fight as well.. The standard " you're shit, and you cant fight", drive me mad.. That's why I love the oldschool K1 fights and the old pancrase fights where it's all about respect..
Great knowledge from Ramsey. Lots of MMA knowledge
Coach is right on that one , my first fights were absolutely dull . I often look back at them and think wtf was I doing being a punching bag lol .
Thanks for the like sir , much respect from India .
When did the fear vanish ????
I thought you were gonna end of with "so, Mackenzie Dern, get out there and train" :P :P :P
We had a small local competition recently for y in my area and it was like open school open style grappling.
I was excited bc even if you lose in the first round it's still great to meet new people and see flaws you may be blind to
I literally list all desire to try when I saw it was ibjjf rules....I'm just like well shit there goes half of my toolbox out the window
J Logan only way to get good at a [thing] is to do the [thing].
If I made 3 million on one fight, I would retire too and never get punched in the face or choked out again! (i might miss it a bit tho..lol)
Riding the coat tails of other better RETIRED fighters is just lame..thanks for calling it out
A prizefighter's job has always been to sell tickets/sell PPV/get eyeballs, this has nothing to do with the "social media age". This has been the case since the time James Figg and Jack Broughton
To be fair, prior to her retirement, one of the issues I saw in Rousey's technique is that her recovery was slow after punching. I actually noted the precise square inch she would get knocked out through a month before her defeat (actually had time stamps on that conversation I had with a friend). It bothered me that she sort of split her training to include striking. Don't get me wrong, it is important, but were I her, I'd focus on figuring out how to ensure my primary skill set can be implemented around that area of weakness (i.e. defending against striking and countering it). Rousey's an Olympic level Judoka, she has a master skill set, it feels counterproductive to distract from further developing it.
Great video! Really appreciate the points you made.
Love your videos man and your knowledge makes it fun to listen to. Keep up the great work.
I’m glad my gym trains tachiwaza and leg locks
Ha! My first ten fights was sanda fights. And they did indeed suck. I had done alot of striking sparring before my first fight. Against kyokushin guys and wtf Taekwondo guys. Both groups under their own ruleset.
Both styles is kinda missing one important thing.
Man did i ever eat punches to the face.. 😱
Never absorbed so much wisdom in 12 min 31 secs
Nice work keeping the message simple but very clear. Could you tell me some of the names in the "great fighters who don't wear masks, just train" that I could look into? Curious to see their work. Thanks
Just noticed your photo in the subscribe bubble. What on earth were you wearing other than nothing? :D
Hi sir ! I'm agree with you about the " show aspect" and the
" personnality " the fighter must have , but There were exceptions, like Fedor who the first Time you Saw him you think " what does this Shy and sleepy plumbers do on a mma fight ?"
Yeah, they teaching bad habits
Same with me. I did a lot of full contact stand up fighting when I was young, and looking back at how I fought in those beginning years, I became thankful that there were no cameras on phones back then! I sucked, and I sucked bad.
I watched some movies, practices some moves in y bedroom, read Bruce Lee books, did some running to get ripped and I was a true professional fighter. I could visualise my self as the top UFC fighter that can take anyone, any size easily.
I knew a guy that was like this :D Either mental problems or ego problems : p
I just seen this video. I agree fully. I do practice BJJ, but it is not a skill alone that will win you a MMA fight. You will need a good skill set in many other arts to compete. But to make a challenge to Ronda, who is retired just shows the lack of awareness that she has.
yo Ramsey how do I get better at not being afraid to get hit please answer this one for my Hubby and I.
Patricia Tracy Flores you need to get hit and with experience you will stop fearing getting hit. Also you can drill just defense. Meaning stand with your back to the wall so you can’t back up and have a training partner throwing punches at you while you defend. Remember to keep your eyes open too good luck
Do like I kyokushin and just let hubby hit you in the body with leg kicks etc. As soft and as slow as you need til you get built up to something more deliberate
For face strikes I recommend you honestly just let someone lightly slap you on the cheek after you brace yourself. If you wanna do it with punches have them use gloves and hit you VERY VERY LIGHTLY
from there you can honestly just do sparring with light contact.
Unfortunately that's the only safe ways I can think of. The reality is there's no way to develope a chin you either have it or you don't.
But learning how to position and guard to take the hit pays massive dividends
And finally to be perfectly honest it's the hit you never see coming that'll lay you out so you don't have to worry about being afraid of that one lol
Get hit more
Girls say 'yo'? xd :O
Hit each other.
Interesting. I have only ever heard McKenzie talking very respectfully about Rousey, and a quick google search didn't really bring up anything different either.
I don't fight MMA, i just do judo competitions, and i've only done a few competitions and i've done really well in them, i've only lost in competition once. But i look back on the fights and i see so many things that i could've done that i didn't do. Even when i execute a clean technique, the technique is great and powerful and worthy of the score it gets, but the build up to it was so half assed i'd almost say it was flukish. And i'm only halfway to black belt (where the real journey in judo will begin) and i've learned so much from a year or two ago (one that comes to mind was actually a few months ago). So despite the humiliation i get when i look back at them (although i do get a sense of pride from winning with good techniqje) it makes me so happy to know that i'fe learned so much and still haven't even begun learning. It makes me shiver to think of all the things i could learn and will learn as long as i keep persisting
Not to be an armchair coach here , but have you considered calling other dojo's and dropping in just to mess with fresh meat? Dealing with strangers once a month or so could help with the nerves IMO.
Brandon Harris it's not really fighting new people that gave me nerves, it was fighting new people while others watch, knowing that if i lose then that's all they'll see.
I go to two local clubs, i don't make a habit of trying to beat up pn other people.
The only people my grade and age are already in my main club, and there aren't too many of them. The rest are a lot older and higher graded or a lot younger and lower graded
Try some open mic or karaoke then. Without booze. Get practice dealing with "the nerves" that way.
Brandon Harris i don't really have a problem with nerves anymore, i was merely detailing my prior experience
And nerves can actually help, as ramsey's explained as i may or may not have explained, because it gives you adrenaline, which is very important especially if you go to tournaments that aren't in your local area so you need to leave really early.
The issue is when your nerves go into excess, as as i've detailed i have my own system of dealing with that issue
Judo competion are suvjs under ijf rules but mma is more like a street brawl than a competion of sportsmanship or respect
That was mcgregor did too!
He called on Floyd mayweather that was retire!
That make that incredible buzz and both made gonzillion dollars
Fulguro Geek nah he was already rich and famous lol
Yeah but boxing money is on another level. Conor made 30-50 million instead of 3 million. Dude never has to fight again.
Fully agree, if I watch a fight, I care about the fighting, not the character. I can still dislike the character (certainly don't like Jon Jones).
i absolutely agree 100%
however if ronda, or anyone else fights mackenzie and goes to the ground they will wish they hadnt. wether they fall down or take her down.
So right! If you don't suck at first, something is wrong!
Rhonda lost because she was being managed and not trained. She put on the back burner what she was great at, world class grappling, in order attempt to strike with world class strikers. A good move if you are also a world class striker. She wasn't. She also looked liked she had never been hit by a decent striker, until the fight(s), so you know she was not training realistically, i.e. getting hit.
She won when she used her ability to avoid taking direct damage, controlling distance, off-balancing her opponent and gaining tactical advantage for submission, usually in mid-air during a take-down, in a word-Judo. The few fights she won with strikes were anomalies. Not luck, but close. She was a powerful person who could use her body as a weapon. But not as skillful a weapon in striking as a world class striker.
The opponents that beat Rhonda were not grapplers. Few in MMA could match her prowess in grappling. Her striking was nowhere near the level of her grappling, but for some reason she tried to strike with strikers whose striking was at the same proficiency as her grappling.
My best friend is a great striker. He grew up bare knuckle fighting as a child and teen, then boxed all over the world in the military. I am can hold my own with most as a striker, but not at his level. My background started in striking, and then I got into mostly grappling. I cross trained a lot before there was a name for it, but for me to try to out strike him in a fight would be foolish. I use my primary strength against his primary weakness, and use my striking primarily to create enough of a threat/distraction to gain an opening to use my advantage.
A 100lb person with a pry bar has 0% chance of derailing a train by meeting it head on. But by removing a few 1lb spikes and shifting the rails a few inches they can derail a 50 million ton freight train. You can not attack someone with greater ability in their strength, and expect to gain advantage.
That is why it is incumbent on people who are wanting to be good fighters to be proficient in several seemingly unrelated disciplines, i.e. striking and grappling.
I believe you should have a primary discipline that you are far better in, rather than a jack of all trades, master of none. Otherwise you become typical UFC fighter with mediocre skills in a lot of areas, but not really good at anything to dominate an opponent. Works on the street against unskilled opponents, but not well trained fighters.
I beleive Mackenzie Dern would have wiped the floor with Rhanda!
This is a weird question but if a fighter was to walk into a match with a big superman S on his chest could they get sued?
I wouldn't say ibjjf means nothing, it means a lot - but i do agree it means *a lot less* than many people would think for MMA. I don't think the knee reaping thing matters much for mma: if you come from ibjjf environment, it means you probably won't be a leglock specialist - no big deal, most bjj guys who succeded in MMA weren't, they were about the basics as you've said in some videos. May change in the future with the DDS, but i'm not really seeing it tbh. Leglocks are imo very popular right now because they allow you to beat more veteran grapplers who aren't that good at them, but if you're a bjj guy you probably have the grappling edge anyway if and once you're on the ground.
It also means you are less good at defending them, but again very few people specialize in leglocks in MMA and you'd much better prepare for all the other people that don't actually intend to grapple with you.
But yes, takedowns matter infinitely more in MMA than bjj. After all, in MMA you win if you're better at your opponent in some area AND can get your opponent in said area. If you can't, how much better you are doesn't matter. So a bjj competitor looking to break into mma probably already has all the bjj he needs for any match besides "mirrors" and should really be focusing the vast majority of his time in wrestling and some boxing.
In that regard, I really do believe GSP was the "prototype" of the perfect mma fighter, and I also miss the time were UFC was more about your skill than about how much noise you can make inside (and outside, as conor has taught us!) press conferences.
The GSP "insult" will always be my favourite as well.
On a sidenote, i totally agree with you on reality tv, and on the part about leeching popularity, and it's really annoying if you can see through it.
Btw, single with head outiside are only illegal at white belt, as of this yaer. Not sure if it was different before.
You also can't jump guard at white belts anymore, thankfully, but above it's still fair game.
Ramsey, Whats your take on Judo?
Dern would tap the Rousey 99.9% and theres .000001% Rousey gets Dern in an armbar lol But totally get what you are saying brother. Keep up the insight.
i hate that smack talk stuff, more specifically that it is required to sell tickets...that's actually more reflective of the audience and what they are willing to pay for, and that's in our hands. If we as the audience, the ones paying for the tickets and/or the pay-per-views, if we decide not to celebrate that nonsense, then it's over
Is it possible to come out there and train with you, I was just wondering how much it would cost
How can I find a good bjj gym, what’s the difference between Royce Gracie jujitsu and Gracie jujitsu, there are both of these in my town/ DONT want a mcdojo
I don’t understand this kind of.
1.) yes she has only face lower mma opponents but she mostly ran through them. Yoder lasted only because Mackenzie want to stand and bang.
2.) her approaches to rushing in and then clinching need work yes but Khabib does the same and he’s undefeated
3.) there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pulling guard and nobody is gonna want to play in her guard. It’s not garbage. If she can get people in her guard they are in trouble. She not trying to wrestle she is trying to do Jiu Jitsu.
4.) Lastly, no platform sets you up for mma that great. wrestling is arguably the best base but still it’s mma not wrestling.
I really wish I was still in good shape and strong like I was when I was younger. I learned to fight on the streets and on the school yard. I was a tank for my age due to growing up on a farm. I always favoured grappling because I never wanted to hurt anyone. Well, by "hurt" I mean, injure and destroy anyone who started a fight. I just wanted them to stop fighting me. I hear that you should never try to catch a fist because you'll never do it unless it's by luck but I remember a few times where I caught some of those super haymakers coming my way and took them to the ground. Sometimes I would dodge and go in for a throw or a trip. I remember a fucking huge monster of a man nobody would ever dream of fighting at my school that I did a double leg takedown and he went flat on his back and I got on top of him that way. Another guy jumped me from behind and drilled me in the back of the head a couple times and left some monster goose-eggs on me and I managed to spin, grab him and just lift him up from the waist to shoulder height and ran full force into a wall which knocked the wind out of him and he ran away. I really wonder what I would have been able to accomplish if I had ever entered professional fighting or studied at a real school for such a thing. I would love to test myself even today just to see what the pro levels are like. I've been in a couple fights already this year and I remember the fear going through me, yet, also the amount of adrenaline making me feel pumped right up and ready to go. Too bad I will never be rich enough to fly over to china to meet you. I've been wathcing a lot of your videos lately, I just came to this one from your "scared of fighting" video and it seems like you really get why people fight. I love friendly competition and sparring, I hate street fights but when one happens you have to roll with it and not become paralyzed with fear. There's no gyms worth getting into even if I wasn't a broke ass mess of a person in my city. Thanks for putting these out for us man.
The UFC bit is similar to what Jim Cornette says, which is that the UFC is the best pro-wrestling promotion around right now, except they actually fight.
Guard pull must be banned. Or when you pull guard it should be considered as *taken down* with -2 points.
fughting = fedor ..... and he doesn't even talk
To be fair, I'd be pretty damn surprised if Bruce Lee responded to my call out too. For several reasons.
Is it me or does Ramsey sound like Keanu Reeves?
What's the difference between regular boxing and MMA boxing? I know that your stance is more closed in MMA but is there more to it?
That’s a great question! There are a lot of subtle but super important differences. One of the biggest ones is the range you’re able to punch from. This is a show not tell kind of question.
THanks
Great or sucks is all relative - if your goals are to be able to fight all of your life, going the route of IBJJF rules fit reality - people get hurt in BJJ, plain and simple. The less frequency, the more you can do BJJ and, more importantly, things that may have more existential meaning, like being able to use your shoulder to throw a baseball to your kid. Also, unless you are wealthy or too dumb to hold a job, you have to work (I just had shoulder surgery and couldn't even type for 2 weeks plus thousands of $ in med bills). Yeh, watching MMA or less restrictive rules from IBJJF is more fun as a spectator, but as for DOING it, a very small % are making a life or career. IBJJF makes a lot of sense for most of us.
Did anyone get a garbage word count?
Beating she got from Amanda Ribas should generate humility. Ribas took her to the woodshed.
Nunes
First ten fights will suck? Ronda Rousey's UFC record is only 12-2-0 Coach? But love your video's. I watch a couple every day. Respect Coach. Osu!!!
Yes, your first ten fights will suck. That has nothing to do with your fight record.
@@RamseyDewey no I get that I'm just saying Ronda only had 14 fights. If her first ten sucked... Think about the possibilities if she fought for longer. Also her two losses were at the end. All I'm saying.
Yeah but those are pro dights. She has alot of amateur fights
Heel, Face someone watches pro wrestling :) so do you think the ufc will go the same way as pro wrestling? It started as real fights over a hundread years ago and then they realised it was just easier to stage it all?
It just happened, lol. Kron too
if people can’t trust pulling guard your bJJ isn’t high level. Pulling guard isn’t garbage.
Isn’t that just the way ufc fighters get thier next fight and recognition? Just like wwe everything is fake, but unlike wwe the fight is real. It’s for the entertainment factor.
IBJJF are not the Gracies? Right?
The International Brazilian Jiujitsu Federation is an organization that governs a particular style of BJJ sport competition. As far as I know, it’s not run by the Gracies
actually, it is. Founded and headed by Carlos Gracie jr., co-founder of the Gracie Barra brand. It's the Gracie side of the family that the others from "Gracie Jiu Jitsu™" loved to dismiss as point fighters because they had been dominating the competitive scene for a while (not so much anymore, with Atos, Checkmat etc).
Everytime I see this big wise man I wonder... Is he ticklish? 😂That would be funny lol
I agree that IBJJF has stupid rules and that BJJ doesn't have enough focus on takedowns. That said, if two people whom are evenly matched physically (1 high school wrestler and 1 BJJ blue belt) grappled, I would bet on the blue belt EVERY time. It's stupid to call out IBJJF for their stupid rules and not acknowledge the stupid rules of wrestling, then claim a BJJ fighter would need to have the "wrestling background" to compete. Virtually all wrestlers have fits when they join a BJJ gym - it is superior to wrestling. Cross-training BJJ with Judo and boxing would probably cover all your bases.
Daniel Peer exactly!
Wow, came to this late... Mackenzie Dern, had forgotten her and her accent.... she must still be trying to make weight somewhere..
Oh, ty Google.. she's been having a baby.. so guess I was right!
Great video
thanks
talking smack gets you nowhere
Last I heard rondas playing around in WWE circles..
a BJJ nothing champion vs an Olympic class judoka that I would love to see sad to say I doubt you would be on Ronda's to kill list at this stage as you wouldn't be on her radar as a fighter...
Hey Ramsey, I like you man, your skilled, knowledgeable and honest but I have one issue... in this video you made the comment being facetious about fighting Bruce Lee but I watched another video of you saying and I quote," I'm postulating that I could beat Bruce Lee. And the 2nd issue I have is your comment about attaching your name to someone more famous seems a little hypocritical because your constantly roasting Master Wong(However, I def agree with your views on that WIERDO) but he's clearly is more famous than you (ON UA-cam). I dont take an issue with it though, I think it's a good strategy to get your subs up. But, shooting it down when it seems like you follow the same pattern is comes off a little hypocritical. Maybe, you can correct me if I'm wrong but I just wanted you to know how you may be perceived by your core fans (like myself). Thank you
BTW I KNOW THIS VID IS OLD BUT THE "INFRACTION" IS TIMELESS.
You think I’m seeking fame???
"ur first 10 fights are gonna suck" welp she is 11-1 as of today so this didnt age well
It’s the honest truth. Your first ten fight are going to suck whether you win or lose. It’s not a commentary on performance.
Its called clout chasing
I don’t like Jon Jones ‘cause he’s a cheater. The sad thing is he really doesn’t need to cheat.
Rhonda if she was ever infront of me wouldn't be reality it would be a dream only haha
Jon Jones isn't cocky he's a drug fueled cheater.
No head on the outside of a single leg??? I mean its bad form for the m o s t part but like cmon
There are many legitimate, and safe finishes for a single leg takedown with the head on the outside. But yeah, IBJJF rules are the worst.
Ramsey Dewey exactly i almost always had my head on the outside and not once did anyone ever get hurt! The closest to someone getting hurt is when i would get crossfaced lol
Mackenzie Dern has a Gold Medal in Abu Dhabi which is no Gi and ADCC rules, can't pull guard for the first 10 minutes. Rhonda ADCC victories 0. In fact Mackenzie has an extensive No Gi winning record in grappling that far exceed Rhonda. Rhonda has an arm bar. Mackenzie laughs at her
This didn't age well lol
Why not?
I'm the thousandth like whoopie
Ronda vd Cyborg = Cyborg by blody massacre
Dude you have 3 wins 4 losses what are you talking about
No my friend. That’s not an accurate fight record.
Probly you can beat him, it easy to make fun of someone fighting record behind a screen
He speaks from experience, not necessarily flawless success. Listen to him and make your opinion from that, not from two numbers.
Sean Tompkins was 0-5, are you going to question his knowledge & acumen after the stable of fighters he built up?
arno nabuurs that's still better than having a 0-0 record due to the fact that you never fought in mma.
