Breaking Through Emotional Barriers 

whatchu doin' 'er?

He could have shouted at him and lowered his self esteem but he shares his similarities with the boy and shows compassion. This was beautiful

hi Doom

Wow I did not see it that way

you women do not understand men at all.

Dead ass, I was just about to make that comment too.

we cry man, and it's ok.

alternate ending: "why are you crying?" "why do you think im crying dumbass? shit hurts."

@@bigsmoke53 :)

@@paulrogers00 ladies and gentlemen the best response to this is to just realise and call them trolls. You suddenly don't take them seriously

Inspiring

Honestly I don’t understand why crying has to be a gender thing. You cry as a person, a being with feelings. It doesn’t make you more or less of a man, but a person with higher emotional intelligence, and healthier psicologically

@@rsantana389 Well I'm happy to read your thoughts but their are many less people who really follow this in our society. When a boy child cries he is still told to not cry like a girl, you are strong and all that bullshit. I understand it has to be normalised coz it is normal. But it will take time, it's happening but it will still take time.

I remember those days when that was me punching through a real plank and I didn’t quit and when I had to kick too

@@rsantana389 "Emotional intelligence" is not a thing. I'm a man and I don't cry not because I force myself not too, but because I just don't. If I feel like crying I will. You're a woman you won't understand that, so the least you can do is to stop saying silly things

Doesn't hurt to have some martial arts skills under one's belt either, pun intended.

That used to be half of the point of martial arts. Now unfortunately most places don't even bother.

Amen 🙌🏽🔥

If I knew of Mr. Jason Wilson I would have moved to have him teach my sons. Been following him for yrs on IG because his fire, Love, God all come together in spiritual, emotional, and Spiritual alchemy 🙌🏽 ♾ Blessings to you, wife, family, each, and all! God Bless 💗

That's what true martial arts does. Unfortunately-- and especially with the octagon MMA world, this credo has been lost and/or abandoned (from what I've seen between 1987 thru 2020). I salute this Sensei/Shihan/ Master for his teaching methodology. Peace.

Didn't expect to see you here

Didn't think I'd see you here. I love your vids man!!!

Indeed. Love your content by the way!

Agreed. From what little we've seen you look like a fantastic father.

I agree my father taught me a ton, also I love your videos!

No bro don’t bring the Uganda memes in here 😂

Uganda memes hahaha

Lmao

man cant stop laughing

Now I want the "pasta*

@Miles Doyle Wait, what ? 😂

He's a man so someday he'll become one

@Miles Doyle no

@Miles Doyle I’m a Christian but like why did you need to do this? No one is reading all that.

Dank Memer If you're a boy aka a child, yes it's okay to cry. If you're a man it's okay to cry too. If your dog dies or someone close to you dies, I don't think its healthy to be macho and not emote. Thats borderline sociopath. theres a difference between crying because something genuinely hurts and bothers you versus crying about every single little thing, THAT makes you a " bitch "

"because i'm weak and can't control my emotions to any extent, instead of bettering my own mental integrity, i want everyone else to fall to my level!" p selfish tbh fam

+DontFeedTheGaben men like you who circle jerk their ability to hide their emotions are the weak ones... Too afraid of what some stranger might whisper behind your back... More concerned about what people think about you that what kind of person you actually are. Cowardly.

***** There's a difference between catharsis and crying for the sake of crying. One is absolutely necessary in specific situations, the other is a demonstration of a lack of willpower and mental solidarity when done excessively.

David Pearce Strawman some more please, I don't feel pigeonholed enough for the sake of you making an invalid argument that assumes things about me.

Here is a lesson I learned one week ago brother. Most habitual anxiety comes from fast mouth breathing. Seriously. This has helped me immensely. Shut your mouth. Inhale through your nose. SLOWLY. About six second controlled inhale, six second controlled exhale, five breaths a minute for 10 minutes. And set a timer and repeat every night as you lay down to sleep. And tape your lips closed before you go to bed. Train yourself to breathe through you nose. Like we were designed to do. Most of your anxiety will vanish as you activate your parasympathetic nervous system which calms and relaxes you. Breathe hard and fast to activate your sympathetic nervous system which is for fight or flight. Hard and fast, still through your nose, depletes CO2 raising the ph of your blood, and that makes hemoglobin grip tight to oxygen. Breathing slow and holding your breath lowers ph resulting in greater release of oxygen from hemoglobin. That desperate need to breathe is not from lack of oxygen but a buildup of CO2, and that can be trained so you handle it longer. A Russian doctor back during WWII figured out that the most effective treatment for an asthma attack is to breathe slower and softer through the nose, asthma is literally a panic attack. That doc won great acclaim in the USSR. And very few Americans know about him.

@@jeffreysmith236 Do you have any sources for that, seems interesting!

@@josephlouwerse2105 the book "Breathe".

@@jeffreysmith236 It is not just breathing. The food you eat. The way you think. How you breath. How you walk. It all affects. The breathing is critical because it is responsible for the oxygen uniformity in the body. The way the body receives and deals with oxygen affects the mind. Why do they say take a deep breathe? For that reason. The brain needs a suffiecient amount of oxygen to relax.

@@thesherlockhokage3046 blood pH controls oxygen release from hemoglobin. So exhale twice as long as inhale and blood oxygen will hit 100 percent within 90 seconds. Carbon dioxide is the control. Breathe short and fast and pH rises due to to little carbon dioxide, and you will activate your sympathetic nervous system, fight or flight, and you will feel anxious and on edge and can experience a panic attack, all self induced. Breathe slowly through your nose, exhale twice as long as inhale, and activate parasympathetic nervous system and calm down. Which changes how you stand and walk and think.

Lmao

Then you must become that father when the time comes.

Why talk about “if only we had fathers like this?” We should strive to be a father like this not hope our father would be like this

@@likeablelabradoodle4035 you're right but some steps ahead of me. i gotta catch up first.

@@radiansinus8126 I’m sure you will,you sound like a reasonable man.

👍

Its like this in most martial arts dojos discipline and respect is at high importance

amazing what happens when people are showed strength and respect. lets go men...

They are in a place and with people where it’s safe to show all emotions.

Why would they?

صح 😭

No we fkn don't!! Everyone is too damn sensitive as it is... me, me, me and my feelings.. boo hoo hoo. Stop fkn crying and just get on with it.. coz life's a bitch and no one cares.

@UC-kuOiM06WmaF4IgDUwlldA you're wrong, dumbass

people cry for a reason dude. sure, soft, sensitive people should obviously work to be harder people and as a result crying less , but its completely normal to cry from time to time, being open about it is what builds character my guy

@@freak1sees714 it’s okay to cry, but it’s what you do about your situation is what’s important, I’ve cried while working my ass off and carried on with my life, if you don’t allow yourself to cry you’re damaging yourself as a person. The mentality you have is toxic

he is talking to an adolescent i do not think that it is good advice for an adult man to cry around like a girl.... real men dont really cry, sure youll be beat down but whats the point for an adult man to cry about something other then maybe the death of a loved one? crying out to God for guidance sure but not this whiney ahumm ahummm booo boooo

@@pekbekmkek6310 that mindset is the problem. Crying "like a girl" as if being a woman was some kind of insult. Men like you repress the need to cry. One day you'll do and you won't be able to stop, bc u never allowed yourself for stupid reasons like "I look like a girl" or "I look stupid". Crying is fine for everybody, women nd men as long as you keep fighting. Not an excuse to give up, that's what it shouldn't be.

@@pekbekmkek6310 You are literally part of the problem. Stop acting like having emotions is onlt relegated to women. Men cry and theres nothing wrong with because if other wise we’re taught to keep our emotions in and only express them through rage and anger

@@OpsReitia Very well put

@@christiana5453 actually you are a feminized man. stop watching tv and following idols. this is unmanly behaviour. i did not say that men should not be emoti0onal i pretty well explained that crying like a bxtch has no point and when youallow your mind to mature you actually stop crying. (of course when a closed one dies this is something different but i do not think you will understand this. of what problem am i part of mr. cry baby?

what do you mean fear the weak

@@ayyjayy2583 I think he's suggesting that strong, confident, well-adjusted people typically don't do bad things

Eso nomas pasa en tu paisXD

I'm sure the father doesn't get praise like that often. The man is doing God's work uplifting everyone. Respect.

Female and male should be seperate at times because eachother are in fact a distraction for each other. Though its odd that they are only black. I like that he believes in Jesus Christ almighty. He is something Great this Man. But im hispanic male personally i wouldnt care about the race of the person. Its based on how everyones raised. I can be volatile sometimes when i cry. Or simply still when im criying or simply sit still when im angry. We as human men need to be the most disciplined because We will All face events far uglier than other humans and nuclear war although when we kill each other its already ugly. I dont like feeling volatile because i feel malevolence and thanks to Jordan Peterson and experience. I realized THAT WE ARE ALL! Capable of evil and good. Even a quadrupled amputee is capable even if the damage is small. It doesnt matter. Regulate our emotions yes.

@@IsraelCountryCube I totally agree. I even agree on that there indeed is a bit of distraction between genders based on natural attraction, but that is something that can be regulated and has to be regulated in society anyways. So I don't think it HAS to be that way. Often natural attraction doesn't have as strong of an impact on smaller children either and the only differences are generally based on the society in which you live in. I would argue that women should be more encouraged to be tougher or masculine and even men should be more encouraged to be more feminine and open with emotions. I don't think those things should subtract from what it means to be a "Man" or being a "Woman" either. And it can be a bit unhealthy when a Man feels like he should never feel or display emotions while a Woman might depend too much on her emotions and the sympathy of others. These are more often than not subconscious roles that we adapt to but don't necessarily have to hold onto. I mean, if gender roles of only Man or Woman were entirely biological from birth or were not meant to be flexible then Gays, Bisexuals, Intersex and Transexuals would not exist, but they have existed all throughout time and history. I'm not advocating one way or the other to live your life by the way, just discussing what I believe I am observing as a reality.

Its strange that i have more of a hold over them and understand where they are than my own parents, I find it alien to imagine what it's like to wear your emotions on your sleeve all the time. I have to remind everyone that I don't get offended unless you genuinely are attacking my family

All he was saying was that it transcended race and touched something all young men hope for.

(That being said, I lean much more towards your perspective of not having shoving it in to scenarios where it is irrelevant. The application of race in benign situations while ignoring the ways working class people, who are disproportionatly black and brown, continue to quietly get fucked over drives me insane. So I'm not trying to deny that race is relevant in general as a caveat for other commenters.)

"This is how we should be raising our sons as a society. None of that "man up", "grow some balls" BS" ... as a comment to a video showing exactly that :/ This video tells you the REASON why you should "man up", and how/when to do it. Do not miss the message simply because it is whispered instead of being shouted.

The entire point of this lesson IS TO MAN UP as you decide to call it.. It’s just worded differently and relayed in a different way than what you expected... The problem with people like yourself is you see things how you want to see it and don’t listen, which, ironically, is the NUMBER ONE reason for violence and shaming of young men...

I think Snooby's point is that "manning up" isn't choking back your emotions and trying to be a hardass, it's being real with yourself and committing to responsibility and perseverance.
