Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey RU-vid channel!
My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my RU-vid channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

I would probably have not realised what was being suggested until pretty late myself (except for the fact that it was a scenario). Like I have legit been told I have been on dates before and not realised it was a date. That would make it much harder to stay safe in this scenario.

@coltizz Год назад

Yes running away is usually the best self defense. But deescalation is just as important and being able to calm people down. Having worked as a security guard I solved 90% of all “threatening” situations with talking calm but strict. One thing they have not touched on yet is a thing that happened when I was working at a hospital as a security guard late at night. I found a drug addict in the church room and he was sleeping and I could see he was high as fuck with needles everywhere. I was going to remove him out of the hospital when I noticed he had a machete just beside him. So instead of taking him out myself i locked him in the room and called the police and waited for them to bring him out. Locking someone in and wait for assistance is also very good in self defense situations.

@KenoOverdrive Год назад

@chadlpnemt Год назад

Ramsey if this was a "blind date" I may have left her there too, lol. She wants to go back in for more...she can have at it! As a medical guy though Ramsey, maybe it was some of your jet lag and such, but if you're having trouble with memory, please go get yourself checked out. You may not be aware of memory loss. It seems evident that since the challenge you've not remembered several things. Not busting your chops man, just concerned.

@RamseyDewey Год назад

@@chadlpnemtInjuries from my last professional fight in 2011 left me with memory loss (as well as partially blind, and with a hole in my forehead) I’ve seen a lot of doctors, none of them helped. I forgot friends, training partners, coaches, whole segments of my life. A big part of why I kept my RU-vid channel going after that fight was to catalog experiences and thoughts so I wouldn’t forget them. All the sleep deprivation certainly didn’t help. The dudes taking potshots at my head when my eyes were closed certainly didn’t help. When I say it’s spooky, I mean it. I watched my grandmother devolve into dementia to the point where she didn’t know who I was anymore. And the fact that I’ve been seeing the signs of that in myself for the last 12 years is just depressing. The idea that I could be looking at my own daughters as if they were strangers is all kinds of messed up.

@derekvandenburg6689 Год назад

I agree. If you really had to worry about losing your job the way the judges scored that is all wrong. In that scenario if you walk out, what are you going to do file a complaint with HR? Not 1 person will believe you.

@killersalmon4359 Год назад

The thing is, if you go along with it, your jogb is still in danger, because if things go south, the other party will go to HR and claim you were the one who harassed them.

@ASDeckard Год назад

@@lusteraliaszero Google "HR is not your friend." She is the boss. She is who HR reports too, and she is who decides what HR does. She decides how much the HR employees are paid. She is decided when they are fired. She decides what reports are passed up to the owners, if any, and she can take action on the reports without notifying anyone above her in 99% of companies. HR has one and only one job: make sure employees are being productive. If you are feeling bad about your boss, you are not productive, so you need to go. If you are threatening lawsuits against the boss, you are threatening lawsuits against the company, and you are threatening lawsuits against *them.* HR works for the company. They are part of the thing you are threatening to harm by reporting these things. So HR takes the report, tries to trick you into signing away your right to sue, then fires you. There job is to get rid of troublesome boat rocking employees, not to help them. If you have a complaint against a co-worker and you think it can't be solved peaceably (and if it can, do it yourself) only go to HR *if you know you are more important than who you're complaining against.* HR only has one job, do whats best for the company, and if there is a spat between two employees the one that's most useful is the one that stays. Period. It's xxxxing crazy how often people think HR is supposed to protect employees. They're not cops. They don't enforce laws. They don't make legal complaints on your behalf. They are employees of the company who are under the orders and control of the company for the benefit of the company.

I love this episode because it teach us that self defense is not all about fighting. It is also about how to run away from a fight.

@PaMuShin Год назад

It is not exactly running away, running away will get you most of the time killed. It is rather a blend of soft skills like situational awareness, preemptive avoidance/striking and deescalation methods like verbal judo. If the girl were locking the door, if the cinema guy had friends or bystanders would have judged you "wrong" take for example the girl would have argued with him before the other guy came in. The rest of visitors who intervene could have perceived only parts of it and misjudge so suddenly you get mass brawl while the other one started it. There is so much to this delicated situations this is one point which makes hard2hurt in a way interesting although mikes vids in this regard get the least clicks which is a shame in my opinion.

@Memorixt Год назад

"Was I the only one who was legitimately concerned to keep my job in there??" Ramsey is so loyal to the premise man.

@aweirdoskelliger Год назад

Good job, everyone! The last bit was unpredictable. But that happens but no one ever really think that it's a self-defense situation. Interesting to see.

@emilhenriksen5261 Год назад

Just that third scenario alone makes this the best and most relevant self defence challenge ever. One of the absolute most important lessons of martial arts, should be to be able to set boundaries and be firm about them, without being aggressive. And from there, get out of uncomfortable situations. Showed this to my gf and we had a good talk about how serious and realistic this scenario is, for both men and women. Well done, love the series, already looking forward to next episode!

@santia7115 Год назад

I love that there were much more nuanced scenarios this time, really made me think on the layers and complexity of actual self defense. People often forget everything before the escalation. The final scenario being especially tricky. Watching everyone go I was thinking "how would I get out this scenario with minimal confrontation but also not complying with what they want?" Great move by mike, kept his cool, truly earning the icy mike name.

This has to be my favourite of the the episodes so far. To create such real-world worst-case scenarios while wearing protective gear is just genius. It really shows how wits come into play before physical alterations mostly, which for me is how close this show is to actual real-world confrontations.

@silverfireVRgaming Год назад

That third scenario was definitely the most challenging to navigate. So many things could go wrong, leaving you as the man the apparent bad guy and having to defend yourself legally. Icy Mike did an excellent job getting out of it. That scenario, or variations of it, do happen much more often than people think, and even in online versions. I've been in a similar scenario virtually, where no possibility of accusations of contact could be made, but not physically. In my case, I reminded the person that I was already in a relationship and she got defensive, but stopped her advance. If she hadn't, I'd have just logged out and gotten out of the situation that way.

@1individeo Год назад

There is one defensive line that do work with most women: "I like men". She let go and does not claims to have been harrassed. On the other hand It also works if you want to bang her as she instantly lowers her guard and allows conversation to happen.

@SarahLindleyFarnsworth 11 месяцев назад

As a woman, I really felt the vulnerability in situation 3. I have always been aware of being alone with men that I do not know well in closed rooms. I think it is different for men, because they tend to be more assertive and aware of their ability to be aggressive. Women, not as much. What I have done is learn to take a que if I feel a slight bit uncomfortable that I open the door, or suggest we move the meeting into a more public space. Unless you are Ramsey, then it's all about the job.

@omicron5128 Год назад

Honestly, the 2nd scenario is the scariest out of all because every attacker from every situation from episode 1 to now has a reason, where as the 2nd scenario does not. It is very unpredictable and easy to misunderstood. Did someone get attacked? Why is the dude covered in poop? Why is the dude cutting himself? Never know if those guys are on drugs or mentally ill. Could be both or they are just crazy.

@neodigremo Год назад

2 is scary, but for a lot of people 3 is one of the most terrifying for a guy because it leaves you completely powerless. It is scary to be attacked by a big guy with a knife sure but there is a clear (if hard) way to be safe. But scenario 3...... I legit would be terrified if it happened because a) I am sure I would miss so many cues that I would end up in a scary position and b) I am in a true no win scenario in a lot of ways. As was said in the video for a guy my size, even a hint of an accusation and I am the assumed bad guy.

Sensei Seth did a scenario-based self defense evaluation before this where he was placed in a situation that was conceptually like this (one where you aren't sure who the "good guy" is, and who the "bad guy", or whether there is a "good guy" at all). In these types of situations, things can go sideways real fast.
