I had a buddy that started bjj when it first started to become prevalent in the states. I asked him why and he told me he got into a street fight that lasted 12 minutes. I asked him if he won and he said yes, but you wouldn't think that if you saw his face afterwards.
What is your obsession here? You write tons of comments, callling Dewey a loser, are you so bored or need to convince everybody around how great self taught fighter you are?@@davidgeldner2167
I often answer questions in a group on FB. Common questions like, "how do I get better at " My boiler plate, cut'n'paste answer is "To get better at something, you must do more of the something". Over simplistic I know, but still true.
I challenge Dewey to a duel wands only in low earth orbit, space X tickets sir, on the 30th of feburary 2054 give you the time to train sir! elon can be the ref.
“My techniques works on untrained opponents” is another one. If you rely on your opponent been incompetent for your techniques to work, then your techniques suck and therefore you can’t fight.
Agreed. Techniques should work on anyone, but no technique works on everyone. Yeah, and technique will work better on someone who can't fight, but if it doesn't work at all on someone who CAN fight, then that technique needs to go away.
Sometimes it’s always the untrained people who do start shit a lot, but I will say this; never assume your opponent is untrained, to be safe, just use something that works on trained martial artists and professional fighters.
I mean, that's not always the case. Having a technique that works against a haymaker or bad overhand is not bad because most people will throw that, even tho trained fighters won't
bs, trained men don't cause problems. Your attacker is almost certainly going to be untrained. I've been attacked and nearly attacked a dozen times and none of them knew Jack shyte. about fighting a trained man. They lost with my first move.
@@SonnyCrocket-p6h some trained men will indeed cause problems but you are still right. If you do martial arts for self defense, you must know how to fight against untrained people. Now then, knowing how to fight against trained ones sure helps
That is the perfect comment, summing up the naivete of those who somehow believe that being an armchair quarterback (MMA spectators at best) gives them authority and experience when talking about MMA or martial arts in general.
@@davidgeldner2167 Stomped by "any MMA fighter?", brother he is literally a retired pro MMA fighter himself 🤣 Like I said on the other thread, this whole thing is down to you having a fragile ego and being incapable of coming to terms with the fact that you're street scraps do not qualify you to claim you have pro level combat skills. You are still on stage 1 of the 5 stages of grief, you are a child 🤷🏻♂️ You can believe you can beat whoever you want, but if you try to spew that on an online discussion full of people who understand combat, you're going to get a reality check.
@@davidgeldner2167 Ramsey is a retired pro, did you even realise that 🤣 You can believe that street fights qualify you to call yourself pro level if you want, but try to spew that on a discussion of people who understand combat and you're going to get a reality check.

Are you telling me you'd be happy going with a self-proclaimed "Street Surgeon" who never attended Medical School because he "doesn't need to"? Secondly, you say you aren't claiming to be pro level but said you can beat Ramsey who is a literal retired pro. You clearly don't even understand your own arguments. It's not logic, it's just emotion at this point.
As an aikido black belt, I am guilty of many of these things on your list. I don't know how to fight. Since starting BJJ, I have had to change my thinking radically. I still don't know how to fight, but I hope to get better at it.
@@davidgeldner2167 Those people who are born fight prodigies are honestly so rare that you might as well deny that they even exist at all. Also, even prodigies have a lot to benefit from training and learning, especially since fighting well requires someone to be in shape. No amount of instinctual fight talent (for example, somehow being able to immediately know exactly what moves to make in any fight situation without any training) can overcome a sufficiently large strength and fitness (as well as agility and reach) advantage.
@@HaroldBluetooth-uz1zz I just saw that pinned comment thread. This dude is really a piece of work, claiming that all those people who actually train and have professional are just having "simulations" and that these "simulations" can never compare to "the real thing". One counterpoint I immediately have is that properly done simulations can literally be as effective as the real thing, so the real question should be whether the simulation is actually "properly done" or not. Outside the context of fights, many calculations that computers do are actually "fake" simulations, but people just treat them as the real thing.
@@mingyi456 Yeah, he also seems to think that every fight on the streets is a death match. We should stop talking bad about him. He's probably the Highlander lol.
with proper focus of the strikes, it can be done. leave your fingers bent and loose set them only for touching the surface of the face . The nuts are rarely struck unless you do high side kicks. What happens is you get hit CLOSE to your nuts and the cords that are attached to them try to pull them up inside of your abdomen, but they don't fit thru the hole thru which they descended. So you'r in constant pain until those cords relax. You CAN learn how to bring those cords down out of their "Charley horse" crampings.
I dunno, Ramsey. Normally, I would agree with you on most of these points... but I have a rather nerdy looking friend who studies physics... he doesn't look that tough most of the time... but when we go out drinking and he gets a bit angry because someone bumps into him or spills his drink, it's some real Jekyll and Hyde stuff... he gets all big and swole and just wrecks EVERYONE! And he claims he doesn't even train, nor has taken a single martial arts class! His name is Banner, BTW. Dr. Bruce Banner. You can look him up... he's done some interesting work on Gamma radiation at Culver University. He's a very humble guy most of the time, though, so he doesn't brag about it. But as a scholar myself, I can tell you his work is truly groundbreaking. I wouldn't mess with him in a fight if I were you, bro. I'm serious. You wouldn't like him when he's angry!
After an intense year of Muay Thai training and sparring in Thailand, the one thing I learned is I stiill dont know how to fight. Im only good at getting hurt 😂
then your training sucks. Which is true of most training. how many hours per week of training are you getting. I average 7 hours per week and in 7 months, a 6th dan Judge in Yongsan said I should have been the one testing for black belt, not the 13 month trainee who failed the test. I"d been hitting him at will for 2 months and he couldnt touch me.
@user-ci2mn1oy3w I train 6-9 hours a week from a fully certified Muay Thai trainer in Thailand. Maybe I have learned to be humble learning from real fighters instead of trying to prove the point of this video by comparing anything "blackbelr" with Muay Thai. 🙄
@@thelogicalcaveman9139bro lol. Get them to defend against a good boxer or to hit a good boxer. They will surely realize that there is not competitive experience that is easy. If you are competing on something against fellow humans, then it will not be easy unless you find people that are well below you on such an activity. That's just how it is
@@jestfullgremblim8002 Just hitting alone is a struggle. There's a guy in my neighborhood who's an amateur boxer. He taught me boxing and one of the exercises he gives me is I have to try to land a significant shot on him while he'll only defends himself. On the first few weeks I can only land 1-2 hits before gassing out and most of the time, the shots landed are overextended.
There was a guy arguing with me how Sneeko is a coward for sparring Sean Strickland and getting beaten, 30 seconds in he was cowering away, but still standing and trying to fight back. From that comment I knew he never had a fight and doesnt know how to fight. Sean is taller, heavier and much more skilled than Sneeko, he was the UFC middleweight champion at the time. Some people just love exposing their ignorance
As someone who does fight (boxing), I think there’s something to be said about sneako’s ignorance. Something about the fine line between courage and stupidity. I don’t think sneako knew what he was getting into, and I think he’s in that weird self deluded mindset that so many men get in, where fighting a professional fighter is somehow easy and not very high risk and hitting things will come naturally in one of the highest stress environments possible. I wouldn’t say that sneako is a coward for how he reacted with Strickland, but I would for threatening other people online that he disagreed with as a stunt and then fully backing down after Charlie responded.
@@pantasticlaire3966 Agreed, he got into something he wasnt ready for, but Sean is also a punk for doing that to a skinny influencer guy. Still, considering who he fought, he took that shit like a man, didnt cry or complain. An idiot for sure, but not a coward
@@Deadpooln2b No No No, see this is whats wrong with western white people culture, dont talk what you cant back, anyone can get it in my book. If sneako was 6 years old thats different, a man is a man.
@@Deadpooln2b, sounds to me like they were fighting then? A sparring match is for one or both fighters to get better. They wouldn’t go full force. A fight is to see who is better. Also, injuries and KOs are on the table.
It is actually quite funny, because the things you describe can almost sometimes word for word be transferred over to intellectual pursuits and competitions as well. I'm a programmer, and every year in December there is a coding challenge/competition that lasts from the 1st to the 25th, and every year these same people show up and brag about how "they don't have time" to participate but if they had they would mop the floor with everyone. But give them just one tiny problem and the excuses starts flowing.
I remember one internet tough guy criticizing me for doing Karate katas (I do Catch Wrestling and BJJ primarily, but I do katas for relaxation and fun) and I asked him what martial arts he practiced. His response? "None, but I can pass a fitness exam". I think that says it all.
No one asked, but I'd like to add some. 1. You comment about something being against the rules, then describe a situation that is completely legal in the unified rules. 2. You call every fight stoppage you see an early stoppage just because the other guy wasn't blatantly unconscious or broken. 3. You think allowing 12-6 elbows and kicks/knees to the head of a downed opponent will counter grappling. 4. You say the street has no rules. (I'd argue it has MORE. The rules are just enforced through real consequences instead of point deductions). 5. You equate people's willingness (or lack thereof) to engage in grappling to their "manliness".
3 is wrong, but I understand why you put it as there are many other forms of takedowns beside a blast double, the issue is that most UFC fighters are not Judo Champions so you aren’t even gonna see those other variants most of the time. For blast double legs knees are literally the perfect counter it’s not even a debate, ONE FC alone makes your entire argument null. Allen vs Evloev ? Sterling vs Yan 1 ? These fights would literally have a different outcome had the technique not get banned, it obviously is protecting a specific style of fighter, you can’t even debate that slightly. Now Jon Jones for example knows Greco/Judo takedowns so it won’t work on him, but that’s Jones plus he will probably figure how to use soccer kicks etc better than anyone.
@@DADRB0B55 Given my lack of time and poor wording, I left context and wording out. It is a viable set of techniques, but what I meant was people believing it will automatically counter grappling just by doing it. I don't really like the Sterling vs. Yan fight example, though. It was clear from the start that Stirling was gaming the rules. There will always be people who game the rules. The idea that being able to soccer kick is going to magically end ground encounters is nuts. It isn't going to magically pass the guard of a person intelligently defending themselves. If you are able to line up some super giant soccer kick like that, the person wasn't defending themselves to begin with. Of course, there will be some fights that are won by a kick to the head of a downed opponent, but those would probably be statistical outliers or done by people who were already superior grapplers to begin with.
4 is solid. Anything serious happens on "da streetz", you have to assume that you'll end up explaining your actions to the police and possibly a judge. If you're lucky, you'll be doing that about 5 minutes after the fact. I was lucky, the one time that I got involved in a violent incident like that. Was able to de-escalate without getting myself or anyone else hurt, and had a very easy time talking to the police when they showed up a few minutes later and arrested the aggressors. (no I don't know how to fight, but I am pretty good at not having to fight)
@@patheddles4004 Exactly, 4 is zero rules until the cops show up then suddenly lots of rules. If you're a criminal who doesn't care about his fellow man and wants to go to jail, no consequences, but otherwise, lots of things to think about.
On number 20 and not being athletic, you can know how to fight and no longer be able to fight due to injury, disability, or even age. Of course usually those folks are the first to admit their fighting days are done. Awesome video.
I remember when I was at the gym hitting the punching bag a dude walked up saying he knew Krav Maga(however you spell that shit) I asked him to spar and he said it was too deadly and forbidden to be used in sparring….does he count for not knowing how to fight
He's never tried any of that KM on someone who has trained to fight. KM is not BS, but in order to make it effective requires some cross training and sparring. I've trained KM for 18 months, and both schools also had various levels of sparring classes, including grappling for self defense.
yeah, he talked bs. Krav maga is basically some self defense stuff, know ho to fall, basic kickboxing and some basic bjj. I know, I've been to a krav maga class. There was no secret deadly forbidden stuff, only in the context of a sports martial art.
The one caveat about size, is its actually a disadvantage if you don't have the cardio to keep moving it. I have sparred some really big guys who will practically fall down by themselves after two minutes (max) of sparring they are sucking air so hard. And any strength advantage size gives you is gone if you can't breathe enough. Heavy sparring takes A LOT of energy, very quickly. So train your cardio kids.
You think i don't know how to fight? I challenge you Dewey to come here to Europe, after you have ended the war in Ukraine and in Gaza and found a cure for both cancer and HIV, to fight in my basement. Do it if you are a REAL MAN !!
Ever been to the ghetto? You hear about who can beat whose ass all day long and everyone brags how good they are at fighting, but when it actually happens it's embarrassing. Most people gas out within the first minute or two without doing any significant damage.
Correct, if you could *learn* magic everyone would do it. It's the oldest scam ever a sorcerer saying he'll teach you how to use magic when he doesn't even know how what he's doing works. This also reminds me of a word problem I had to explain to an ESL statistics student once. It started out "A sorcerer hides a Porsche behind a row of infinite doors..."
You know you're a boxing aficionado when you hear someone talk about Joe Lewis and first thing that comes to your mind before you think about it for a second is Joe Louis.
Did your brother say anything about whether you sparred with any skill while you were 'blacked out'? I did once "black out" in this sense, still talking but not remembering anything, but in that case I was losing a fight against a car. Can confirm, my body is not tougher than a car.
@@patheddles4004 nah, he hit me with a hook over a lazy jab and I was out. The one and only time I’ve ever been dropped in my life. I learned a valuable lesson that day. I got him back a few years later.
I challenge Ramsey Dewey to a no holds barred super fight cage match! But only if they build us a multimillion dollar arena that seats 200000 people on the North Pole and promise me a $4million dollar fight purse and resurrect Bruce Lee and Kano Jigoro from the dead to help train me! 🤣. Keep up the good work, love the videos.
I 100% agree, sparring is NOT fighting. I sparred for 2 years ( some even hard rounds ) before I actually had my first kickboxing fight. Boy, it was a rude awakening when I was finally in the “ring” with somebody who was actually trying to knock me out! Yes, you are still punching and kicking like sparring. But unlike sparring where the goal is to NOT hurt your training partner, in a fight the opposite is true.
@@andymax1 Yeah, I know, I'm actually quite fond of Ninjutsu, I think I was about 11 when I discovered Masaki Hatsumi and I did some research and I think it's generally decent, perhaps even athletic, but my friend watched a lot of movies like Ninja Assassin and apparently based on what he said, his coach would turn off the lights and beat them to a pulp with a stick if he managed to find them, overall what he said was Surreal, and I think if anyone's claims seem surreal their martial art probably is too, and it probably won't work.
You can't fight when you challenge Mike Tyson and confidently declare that you can beat him when you only have shorter training and boxing and all your fights are just circus shows and not full sanctioned fights against quality fighters.
It’s hilarious when people say they’d use a gun in a fight. Every comment section on every video about fighting has those people. I like to say “not everybody hides behind a weapon”. That tends to shut them up 😂
To be fair, having a gun or any weapon negates a lot of physical advantages. And not every country is made equal in that regard. Stating that to someone living in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and someone living in Europe or USA is somewhat different. But funnily enough - knowing how to fight is more useful in 'safe' countries rather than dangerous one as vocal altercation can escalate to a physical one which you can get out unharmed or minorly injured in a 'safe' country (which while not advisable is in the realm of possibilities) while in a dangerous country such action will probably ending with the martial artist in a ditch somewhere in the neighborhood.
whats even funnier is 9/10 they dont even train with the weapon theyre hiding behind either, especially the handgun to a fist fight crowd despite the fact handguns need the most training out of any other class of firearm
Not to mention as you went for your gun a whole lot of train people could get to your wrist a hell of a lot faster than you could get to the gun. And if you're out there brandishing the thing you could still easily get it taken from you. I'll admit if somebody really knows how to shoot keeps the distance they could get the shots off and yes it would work but dudes that do that and are capable of it don't go around starting s*** very often
Having spent 4 years in the military with weapons, I know for a fact that you can’t just pick up a weapon and use it, especially firearms. You have to train and practice using it to be effective. You have to be comfortable with it.
Man, these people who act like they can fight are hilarious. I had this conversation today at college with some guy, he brought up fighting and I said I am a collegiate wrestler, judoka, and mma fighter. He said cool, neither sports experience nor size make a fighter so I couldn't beat him at 140lbs when I am 250lb. I just picked him up and carried him out of the classroom while he looked red in the face.
I'm small, trained for almost 6 years, but have sparred and rolled with much larger guys. I learned fast that even if they are new without any training, their mass and strength alone may narrow down my choices of effective tactics and strategies.
That whole wizards segment where the apologetics would say “You can’t debunk it without training with the guy” reminds me of the time Bas Rutten was telling the story about how he came across Ki masters, and he told them to try that on him. Long story short, Bas Rutten has never been knocked out with magical powers.
The one that really grinds my gears is when they say "I can beat a professional boxer/MMA fighter because they go by rules I don't I'm a street fighter" To which I respond so just imagine how much more of a disadvantage you will be against a professional fighter who also doesn't have to obay by rules they would be far more dangerous because they know how to get into position and judge distance far better then an untrained person.

@@curtismaul2552 so I know that with my training, I stand zero chance against those kind of people but they won't bother me in my life. I know with my training, I can handle the regular drunken hard accting guy, I encounter those more frequently anyway unfortanly.
Bottom line is fighting sucks and is mostly avoidable !! It doesn't hurt to train is some kind of practical striking like boxing, muay thai or some kind of grappling wrestling, jujitsu, judo, sambo.
How about: Whenever a guy you're lipping off, gets up, walks towards you with their fist clenched and you're goto response is a panic fuel'd "Hey man, calm down!"
A lot of people are missing the point of these videos ..... It's okay to not know how to fight. Because 1) Fighting isn't for everyone (it might not be for you) and 2) if you're willing to learn the right way you can become a somewhat competent fighter
Ramsey, i am glad you read the comments. I have trained kung fu, karate, and filipino stick. I am terminally ill and haven't been interested in investing in my future. I recently decided to take up training again just for the joy that journey brings me. After last video when you said "if you can't grapple, you can't fight" it convinced me to train jujitsu next. Coincidentally a friend is moving back to the area. His dad was a jujitsu instructor and my friend has been training it since he was a kid. He has offered to train me. I just wanted you to know how you have impacted me.
if you learn short-power, spear hand, bear claw, thumb strikes, and know where and how to apply same, you can make a guy let go of you in a fraction of one second, vs flopping around on the floor for 20+ seconds, while his friends stomp you.
@@SonnyCrocket-p6h except for that point inside the wrist. Makes the hand open. Great for disarms, but the opportunity to hit that point isn't common at all.
Wait, you forgot to talk about Chi energy! Chi is what gives a Martial artist his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together. Oh wait, that’s the Force. Sorry, I get confused sometimes. Chi is bull$#!t.
Can you make a video about good gyms v.s. bad gyms for training martial arts/MMA? I live in an area where Martial arts and Boxing gyms are few and far between and its hard to tell what is a legit school with real teachers who give actual advice on fighting and those which are basically businesses designed to make people feel like their learning how to fight. Big fan.
I disagree, pineapple is GOOD on pizza. If you disagree with me I dare you to meet me on the moon with a million dollars and we can fight. But, be advised, no rules, I see red and bodies hit the floor! I don't care how strong you are!! My Karate is better than any art out there, especially, Tae Kwon Do!
Even though i disagree with you on some things ,overall i like your channel. if i didnt i wouldn't watch you lol. I definitely wouldn't challenge you to a fight. Thats so 6th grade lol. Anyways great video..
I got another one. When asked about who wins between a Boxer and a Karateka you instanly give the advantage to the karateka because boxers "dont use their legs". Actually they do how else do you think they create angles and throw punches from such, by using footwork which is done by guess what using your legs.
Don't underestimate anyone. Look at prisoners. They have no technical martial arts skill, but they have experience, heightened alertness, and they can be super jacked. Any strike you don't see coming is dangerous. That's why the fence is so popular.
My wife has zero interest in martial arts, fighting, combat sports or any form of physical confrontation, but she loves when I watch your videos because she says your voice is like "a soothing professor of violence." 😂😂😂 Keep up the great content!
Size matters but being smaller fighting a bigger guy you have a bigger target to hit, chances are their punches are gonna be slower and tire them out more. Alot of bigger guys are cocky because they think you "cant" do anything to them. This isn't from experience the only "fight"(heavy on the quotes) people was holding me back and couldn't hold the other guy back so i just got hit
Anyone who asks if I know how to fight, I just say I know some tricks. Studied a few martial arts. Currently training bjj. Been in a couple "real" situations where I could have died, but I was young enough to not realize this until years later. Do I actually know how to fight? I don't know...technically I guess I do in the sense that I have a little bit of knowledge, but there are a lot of other people way better at it than I am.
Size and strength do matter, but only if you know how to fight. For example, a high level professional boxer can certainly knock a body builder twice his size that has no fighting experience.
First thing i ever learned was Judo, i stopped doing Judo 15-20 years ago ( switched to other stuff, now MMA(just hobby)) if somebody asks my Belt I say: " I USED TO BE, a brown Belt", because i know with my lack of Training, my current fitness and the many years not practicing judo in particular I would just be an embarrassment to all the legit brownbelts out there. So i specifically never try to say i have been doing this or that for this many years, because it doesn't matter. I am in the process of getting my ass kicked in sparring by the youngsters :)
Top way: They aren't protecting their chin at all. Saw two guys "fight" at a store once and they were both swinging haymakers with their chins up higher than snoop dog ever was. Gave me a weird sensation of second hand nervousness. "NAAH DUDE, keep em by your face, PLEASE!! O.O"

I will not obey anybody's commands to call a grown man "Sneako", and neither should anybody else. If I was going to refer to him by a name at all, I would look up his real name. Pop culture is plummeting into the sewer at an alarming rate and there is no need for us to go along with it. 🙏
#6 is sooo true.... so many people will say stuff like "ya he could beat me in an mma fight but if it were in the street with no rules then I would win"

Look the whole point of self defense is to get home safe.knowing how to fight also means knowing when to fight.a fire arm is only used for a life threatening situation were it’s either you or the other person and the situation escalated were there trying to kill you. And a real fight can be anytime and anywhere so don’t know if you can win or loose. Let go of that ego and fight if most necessary as in there is no other option stay safe and train hard and thanks Ramsey for the funny and great content you mange to bring to this platform.
