Dale Brown vs Ramsey Dewey... my response 

Myself and Tom Deblass both offered for him to meet at a neutral location. Tom offered him $50k to spar with a female student of his. I offered to pay for his flight, hotel and food to meet at a neutral location. Seems his response was to block both of us. The offers still stand and we could find a way to get you flown out as well when that’s possible if he’s down 🤷🏻‍♂️ He also has restricted all comments on his Instagram, will deleted negative comments and will block a lot of people who issue legit offers to meet up. He picks and chooses who he’s willing to meet with in order to make himself look better. He literally tried to hurt Kenji then bragged about it when Kenji was literally allowing him to demonstrate a technique with no resistance. It was not sparring and he was bragging online like it was some kind of victory 🤦‍♂️

“If you resist me more, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine” - Dale Kenobi

Personally I always stir my morning coffee in a clockwise motion. Never have been shot in my life. Proves that this technique increases your chances of survivability.

Breaking down crappy women's self defense techniques and other self defense techniques and showing why they don't work and what works better, IS helping thousands of people defend themselves better

People who are legit don't need to defend their "product" so adamantly. Let the results speak for themselves.

I’m a felon and did 5 years in federal prison, my story’s 50 pages in the book Dopesick that’s now a tv show with Michael Keaton. I was on bond for two years in which I trained at a kenpo karate school that was mostly self defense sequences and you always heard “street vs sport.” I trained 4 hours a day 6 days a week, I knew I’d probably have to fight in prison so it was a priority (I also took a college corrections class while on bond). We did VERY basic grappling 2 days a month, and sparring once every other month. In prison when self defense sequences that were “street lethal” didn’t work, the basic grappling did! Every time! I read Geoff Thompson’s books about his realization that karate wasn’t enough so he started boxing and judo. He called judo martial arts best kept secret. Today I’m a brown belt under Egyptian Olympian Tarek Moneir who coached the USA judo team, a blue belt under world champion Paulo Santana, and box with Scott Sigmon. Pressure tested sparring arts are what work, NOT bs self defense sequences. I trained at two locations the kenpo teacher had, each was open 3 days a week, so I got 4 years of training in 2 years. I also powerlift (check my channel, over 500 on deadlift) so I’m not an incompetent weakling, half speed self defense sequences simply did NOT work while grappling did BECAUSE we actually rolled (sparred) when we did it monthly. In a life of dealing almost all fights I’ve been in and seen have been one on one. In prison 99% were. Fights are chaotic, usually a few punches and then as soon as someone gets hit they end up in a clinch and from there a quarter of the time it ends on the ground. Today I train judo/bjj twice 4 days a week 2 hours each session and once 3 days weekly 2 hours each of those days. Training has kept me clean and off heroin since April 9th 2010. I do work with addicts and kids today, life is good. I actually help teach law enforcement in judo, I’ve been doing it for 5 years and made it my life along with bjj and boxing and although not an expert I know enough to help assist and pass it on some helpful information. I know about violence, I’ve seen a lot of it and been in a handful of situations myself. It’s amazing the mcdojo “for da streetz” thing is still actually a thing!

Dale came to the gym I work at in LA to demonstrate his techniques in person. Not only are his techniques total bullshit, he knows they are and plays up the whole thing selling it not as the best response to violence but as being “a last ditch effort to survive”. He’s a snake oil salesman but he ain’t fooling anyone. Great video thank you

Argentinian here..... From Buenos Aires, I can attest to what he said about the level of violence in those neighborhoods, I have the luck of spending some years in USA, a lot of people in first world countries do not understand the level of danger and violence in the shantytowns of south America. There is no law, there are no cops, you will be atacked on sight just by walking into them if you don't live there and your life is meaningless... ... ... You either give up your things or you run away before they box you in, there is not fighting drugged up teenagers with firearms, that is insane. Hope you can come back to Argentina Ramsey, you are welcome to stop by my house for some asado and mate

Hey Ramsey, listened to this while driving yesterday. Dale Brown has mastered the art of the Straw Man. It’s an argument tactic where one frame’s his opponent’s views or arguments in a particular way, then attacks that straw man instead of the actual argument. And his cult of personality keeps inflating his ego. He won’t actually spar you, and he’ll use the “this technique is too dangerous” line. Love the videos, keep up the good work!

There was a part in one of his videos that made me laugh until I almost cried. The context was in a short distance self defense situation against an attacker with a firearm and he said something basically like : "if you get shot in the chest just keep going. you'll surprise the attacker".

Figures..the ONE guy Dale offers to show up and 'show his stuff' on is the ONE guy in lockdown. Almost like Dale knew or something...

"We tested out some pretty crappy self defense techniques." When you said that, I almost hit the floor laughing! 😆 lol 😆 Teacher, happy birthday to you're daughter.

I like how instead of shouting stupid in an angry voice, Ramsey managed to turn it into jokes that highlights how stupid it is while he was still effective at making a point.

20:15 “you’re not a superhero, you’re not Batman.” If anyone doesn’t have time to watch the whole video, this basically sums up what the Coach is trying to say to DustMan.

Being an Argentinian myself, I've got assaulted in the streets 3 times in my life and knowing how to throw a proper punch and a half-assed push kick, may have not saved my life, but at least my cellphone and my wallet.

I don't know if you saw this, but Tom DeBlass, who is a high level BJJ competitor (and Gordon Ryan's first BJJ instructor, by the way) offered this Dale guy $50K plus travel expenses, I believe, if he is willing to try and submit one of his high level female purple belts. No answer, of course lol

Now I'm going to start wearing wrestling shoes to bed, just in case

I've trained security and law enforcement professionally and I still do. I can tell you that 80% of what gets passed off as defensive tactics is nonsense. The other 20% is never stress trained or trained with intensity (usually money and liability concerns and fails under stress). I am on coach Dewey's side all day.

"How is the weather over there in the neighborhood of make-believe this time of year. I would like to know". This had me dead. Priceless

"If you were capable or competent, we would see evidence of that in real life." You mean, like, the actual professional fights that Ramsey's fought in? I imagine his enormous comment was made with a keyboard rather than a phone, but as we know, according to Dale, the hands "aren't designed to hold things very well" so he probably couldn't hold his phone long enough to type all that.

before I listen I'll assume it says "let's meet up in person, you were doing it wrong, something about the streets, if you don't appear on my channel then you're a coward" Dale's company is such a scam, he has a neighborhood watch company that he pretends is some sort of SpecOps unit. It's honestly kind of sad

Rokas, from MartialArtsJourney, says he's organizing a ''self-defense'' tournament in a gym in australia for youtube martial-arts instructors. You should check out that video, and invite Dale to meet you there.

I wonder why Dale picked a fight with the guy that is locked in a country on the otherside of the planet and didn't challenge the other guy that was with Ramsey in the video but is located just one state away.?.? IDEA: Let's get Chewy to take a road trip!

I really hope China opens up soon. Dale vs Ramsey will be the funniest content on the internet

Every once in a while I'll try a dust technique on a friend at random, without telling them what I'm doing. I'll do it exactly the way it's pictured in the dust video, and after they've stopped giggling and asked me what I'm doing I'll just look confused and wander away.

DUST calling Xiao “little buddy”??? He apparently hasn’t seen what XiAo could do with a rubber knife.

Hello Ramsey thanks to you i just did my first day at judo. The ground work sparring was awesome. I it brought back memories of when I was training judo at 7. (45 years old now.) And the weight lifting helped too 😅

I come for the rants 👍 But the image of Dale in a batman mask is golden. Could absolutely see him at a comic con teaching his moves.

I've also received the "you're taking away people's hope that they can defend themselves" argument, and I truly don't understand it. There are two things that really break this argument down. First, isn't telling people that a bad technique won't work, and might get them hurt, better than giving people FALSE hope and confidence in techniques? And secondly, telling people that bad techniques don't work is not the same as saying that there are NO techniques which will work, these people act as if by pointing out their bad techniques you're also forbidding any alternative techniques be practiced. And as you mentioned, you've always advocated that people should get out there and train themselves, test what they learn until they find what works for them. Sorry you had to have Dale flood your comments section with those, but thanks for giving a thoughtful, well-structured response to it.

I love how you keep your emotions in tact, sign of a true martial artist, not only in control of your body, but in control of your emotions. Also another thing, he says you’re disgusting how you “deceive” your audience. I think it’s equally as disgusting for him to say “this person got beat up horribly, it wouldn’t have happened if he trained with me but he chose to train bjj which is a sport”. He actively uses people misfortune as a way to advertise. Also yes I’ve been saying this, he always says “you don’t know because you don’t live in Detroit so you don’t experience what we do” Dewey I see that you have probably experienced worst than a lot of us and you still advocate to do “MMA style” training. Dale can’t take an L. You know how most MMA schools will tell you “leave your ego at the door” well no wonder why he doesn’t train in those schools, he simply can’t leave his ego at the door

I had a student ask me if any of his "stuff is legit" I told him to pull up any 3 videos and we would try it and once it failed I would then show him 3 different ways to actually defend against each. It's actually not a terrible method when you are short on time to plan out the class before hand. He got to add 9 new techniques to his tool belt and I got a good laugh.

As someone whose been in more "street fights", than is reasonable here is my input.... fighting is fast, brutal and usually very clumsy. Even trained fighters tend to fail to implement "technique". It's best to avoid a situation where violence may occur. 2nd best to flee or give them what they want., the 3rd option is to grab a force multiplier, and bluff. Lastly to fight. If you fight, know you will be frightened or angry. Probably both. The blood pumping through your muscles and the adrenaline in your brain will make you clumsy. It will come down to whoever is more aggressive and better armed. Dale's videos are useless, and Ramsey is wise enough not to pretend MMA experience makes him batman. One more point violence does something to you.. all my youthful violence is still carried with me. I am a Adreline junkie, I have anger issues, ptsd, nightmares, intense guilt ect. It destroyed my marriage, not because I was violent toward my family but because they couldn't handle the anxiety depression cycles that were a direct result of my violent past. Don't try to be that person the cost isnt worth it.

I have never been mugged by someone with a gun, thankfully. I have been mugged by people with bottles, bricks, machetes, and other implements. Thankfully each time they were content with whatever amount of cash I was able to hand over. Two years in El Salvador gave me plenty of opportunities to get familiar with being threatened. I agree, people who have never been to third world countries usually don't know what they are talking about when they make those statements.

I rarely comment twice, but this video had the gears in my brain turning, trying to be fair and impartial. I come across guitar players that say, "yeah, but he is technical, so he can't shred." A technical guitar player is technical, because they know theory very well, they know every scale, every chord, every technique. Dale, basically is doing the same thing: Saying that a highly trained combat fighters would be lacking in a street situation is the same as saying that a technical guitarists can't shred. Very illogical and I hope that he is just being defensive at the moment and not really separating from logic.

"THAT WOULDNT WORK IN THA STREETS!!" Constantly said by someone who teaches techniques that wouldnt work anywhere at all, let alone "tha streets". If you get attacked on the streets, give them what they want, or very importantly, if you size them up and think you can outrun them, run away.

The context of security work tends to be very different from civilian self defense. Security and law enforcement rely heavily on teamwork. Whenever possible, they want to subdue an individual with the help of as many of people as they can. Even bad techniques will work if there's 3 of you going after one guy. So having successfully subdued individuals with a team really has no relevance to an ordinary citizen looking for advice on how to fight in self-defense. Which is what Dale Brown claims to be teaching.

You really know the kinda video to start my weekend. 🤣🤣🤣

Apples and potatoes? The French do call the potato the apple of the earth Ramsey! I'm sure there's an apple-robot connection somewhere... Honestly wasn't expecting myself to just sit and watch the full 43.5 mins of this, but it was entertaining so here I am (ok 41 mins right now). I'd love to see an actual collab video to properly test Dale's techniques. I feel like the Ramsey side has some "these specific techniques" in it, so perhaps there needs to be a pre-agreed rule set for any collab. By that I mean Dale should pick maybe 10 unarmed techniques and have him and one of his staff try to use them against both Ramsey and another fighter.

"than Dale himself is more little" , that's gold man, ossu!!

People fail to realize that a professional fighter in an MMA match with rules can knock somebody out in a professional fight they could do it with no rules as well and be far more proficient at it

I love me some stories about your time in Argentine. Great video as always.

It’s weird that people think MMA wouldn’t compare to their street rules as if eye gouging, kicking or stomping the head of a downed opponent etc etc is some kind of skill you need to practice

"Danger" Ramsey Lincoln Dewey! I appreciate your tenderheartedness towards birthdays. Happy belated 4 September 2021. My father was 43 when I was born, as I am reminded by your age. By the way, you look great. I believe you are stronger than two lions in their prime. Thank you for the Lesson(s). Pure Love & Respect. liang zhi lao hu Two Tigers

Fun story for people who believe in disarm techniques against firearms. I was 24 and working for bikers in a weed grow house. After a year the relationship went sour and when I went to get my final pay after our last crop they decided to put a scare and beating into me first. Walked in the house turned around and got sucker punched right in the mouth, guy's ring left a decent scar you can see when I shave. As I took the shot I reeled forward ready to counter, then the 9mm came out of his little paper bag. I froze instantly with my hands up, was ushered to the basement by his goon and promptly threw myself down the stairs so the enforcer wouldn't have the chance. Boss man bolted down after me and shoved the pistol into my mouth screaming and yelling. After having my face slapped around and my ribs kicked in from the 6"4 245 lbs kickboxer, boss man held the pistol to my knee and told me I would never walk straight again. 6 hours went by that felt like an eternity. Thousands of thoughts went through my head and not one of them was thinking it would be possible to disarm the weapon and escape using Steven Seagal level bullshit. However staying calm and complying was incredibly easy and got me out of their with minimal damage.

My favorite rebuttal was "it's comments like these that tell me you don't belong in a conversation with me on this topic..." LMFAO! Been following you for awhile my friend. You have excellent content & I have no doubt you are very adept at what you do... a "dangerous man" if you will in the world of MMA. But your intellect and ability to articulate things in a manner that cuts through the bullshit is top notch, and probably the most formidable thing about you! Keep up the good work...always speaking the gospel! PS. I was robbed a couple times in my life as well. Not in a 3rd world country... but robbed at gunpoint nonetheless. No amount of training mattered... I prayed! Hope the lock down ends soon.

Dale coming at you with talking points of other people. 😂😂 By the way, I worked hospital security for 3 1/2 years, and only had to go hands on or come very close three times. One was checking a guy trying to hit a nurse, one was to pin the arm of a violent person, and one a guy laid in wait for me because I had to keep him out of the ER. The latter I was ready for a fight, but he responded to verbal commands. Almost everything I was able to talk down. I have seen more than most people are aware hospital security encounters Any security officer that is getting in fights on a regular basis, is just not good at their job.

Dale clearly believes that any success by his company or its guards is directly attributed to the techniques he teaches. Narcissism at its finest. Considering how prevalent cameras have been for decades, I challenge Dale to find a single incident involving his security guards in which they used his specific techniques to overcome an assailant. After 27 years, thousands of employees, and all the lives his company has supposedly saved, there has to be ONE SINGLE incident of his techniques being used and caught on camera, somewhere. Right?

greatest quote of the day (12:27): ‘that tells me…you don‘t belong into a conversation about this topic’

I live in America and have been stabbed, robbed, and shot at more than once.And been attacked multiple times.I feel like I should have been killed and am here by God's grace 🙏

People like Dale are very important - they're great confidence boosters for younger martial arts instructors like myself LOL Seriously though, it's been very refreshing to see not only the usual suspects trashing his videos, but also your average person realizing "Hey, what's going on with self defense? This is goofy." Even if it is just one guy. I constantly have to remind myself and my students that I have a lot to learn, just like them - but I will teach better concepts and techniques than a lot of older, more "experienced" "instructors" because a lot of people out there have used their time to gain worthless experience. I hope one day to start a gym and attempt to be at least competent in a sea of... whatever 'self defense experts' are selling lol.

Coach, i love how you throw these truth bombs.kkkk Thats cult language dale. This is an intervention. Im saving you from that dark path. 😂😂😂😂😂

Man, I am totally agree. I am from Buenos Aires, got robbed twice and I really find funny some personal defense advices and drills even from good and respected channels such as hard2hurt, which I love . But in those good channels at least they talk about context and expectations.

When I was working and patrolling, in my experience, if you get attacked by multiple people and you're alone...it's unlikely you're going to be able to do much even if your strength/ability is greater than each of your attackers.

I used to work for Dale. AMA. Some of his techniques are legit, some are not. Hes fundamentally a good dude. Has a bit of ego on him, but he will drop whatever he is doing to help someone.

LOL nothing quite like having Ramsey tell you "I'm disappointed in you," it's like a properly applied ankle lock directly to your conscience. Sadly, D.U.S.T. doesn't know what that feels like. :P

He has no interest in visiting a BJJ class. A 170lb skinny blue belt will clown on him and his ego couldn’t handle it.

Looking forward to the video with you and dust! It's gonna be viral!!

As always, very balanced in your critique, even recognizing that the guy does something in his neighborhood by patrolling the streets

I live in Brazil and the first time I was attacked on streets I was 8-9 years old, and it was not my intense test proof training that saved me. lol

I live only a couple miles from DUST. The guy is a complete joke. I've seen him driving around acting like a cop thinking he is making a difference all the while looking like the only techniques he knows is smashing big Macs at McDonald's.

"More like apples and robots." - Ramsey Dewey Love your videos, really respect you as a person. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Does anyone else find it odd how he is calling out Ramsey Dewey who he knows lives in China, and yet I never saw him respond to Tom Deblass' offer of $50k to grapple with his female brown belt students? Just saying

I have A LOT of respect for Dale's security company, which very pointedly emphasizes deescalation and careful selection of personnel over violence. So, it makes me sad to see him presenting himself as an ultra-macho tough guy on the internet. Maybe he needs the cash that comes from internet notoriety? (I wrote this part before the 20ish-minute mark where you presented the same conjecture) As a point of clarification, from what I understand, most of his security is actually UNARMED, with the goal being that NO ONE gets hurt (including the "bad guy"). So, with the emphasis on deescalation, I imagine his training is very effective at creating self confidence in his students, which can be a very strong deterrent to acts of violence when paired with sound judgement. I think he understands that the self confidence he gives to people is the most valuable part of his training (for better or worse), and that's why he's so protective of the training, and repeatedly alludes to the trust his students have in it, regardless of its actual effectiveness in a fight.

You just put Crappling into my vocabulary lol. Thank you!

Also... "crappling" is now my favorite MMA style.

It would be amazing to see a charity boxing or mma match between RU-vid martial arts content creators :)

Imagine if he'd thanked Ramsay for his input and politely asked for tips? This would be a much different video.

I believe the sort of fallacy you're describing with Dale and the Tai Chi guy is called 'snake oil'. Just generally deceptive marketing.

I love how Ramsey calmly answers Dale, only a mature and humble person entitled as the true skilled warrior is able to do so. Hats off to you Sensei, respect!

I trained Goofy once and he took down Donald

Dale is just mad people are figuring out hes a fraud. Sad.

Hermano, primero que nada saludos desde Chile, me encanta tu contenido, keep on the good work my friend! Solo quería mencionar que lamentablemente, la violencia y delincuencia en Latinoamérica es tal como la describes, lamento que hayas pasado por esas horribles experiencias y pérdidas. Concuerdo contigo, es triste cuando gente cegada por la comodidad de su realidad, ignoran la cruda vida que otros menos afortunados tienen. En fin, no todo es blanco y negro, no todo es 100% malo y Latinoamérica es una hermosa comunidad en su totalidad, te escribo en español porque te sentimos parte de esa comunidad mi hermano, ¡Un abrazo y mucho ánimo!

A "contrived situation": one in which one side often holds all the cards, but presents it as balanced to the victim*. It's also called the Socratic Method. It's total effluvia, but widely accepted as a critical thought mechanism by those without the ability to think for themselves. *Rigged games of chance and sport fall into this category. You've spoken on just that topic when discussing the "unfair" fights you audited and participated in. When the refs and promoter know who's going to win in advance (no matter what objective reffing would say) it's a contrived situation, too. I know you've been there and done that. I enjoyed the stories.

I've seen a lot of Dales videos I find them for the most part ridiculous.

Bein’ fair, detroit IS a third world country.

Crappling... LMAO!!! That's gold.

Brother its always nice to see you, the beard looks badass. Dale needs a reality check and a long cut ass, honestly that guy is full of himself. He need to come to Trinidad and Tobago. He wanna talk about real life skills he won't last 30 secs with the street thugs much less for a local fighter.

It’s too easy for anyone who’s trained even a little in a serious art to pick them apart (DUST). Most of his takedowns can be disproven within your first 2 or 3 classes under a serious coach. My favorite ones are his demos on “BJJ black belts”. I’ve asked him several times to give up the names of the schools where these actors train to no avail. Bullshido at its finest.

Would you consider telling the stories you mentioned around 12:00 one day? I know they're extremely grim, and I would NOT want to ask you to relive those experiences if they will hurt you to think about, but I find that fascinating.

11:56 😳 that escalated quickly. You should make a video about some of the crazy stuff you've seen in detail. Sounds really interesting.

“Difference between a street fight and a sport fight?” I can tell you from the violence I’ve seen, training in “sport fight” stopped friends of mine from being killed by raging sociopaths.

He did some of his techniques against real resistance in video with peunguin0 who also said that his techniques suck before that so he is more legit than he seems

I actually feel Dale was very happy. Growing his popularity with any publicity is the name of the game on these "platforms." No disrespect to you Ramsey, as you have actually fought and have a legitimate channel.

Real world vs sport fight. Gotta love it

Hadn't seen that video, so had to go searching for it. What a great video. Would love to see both you and Chewie go to his compound and show him how it all really works. Keep up the great work.

i don't sleep with shoes on, but there's a 45 at hand that will solve any invasion problems.

it was months ago, what took him so long, was he looking for intelligent options to increase his own survivability when fighting you?

Right on Ramsey. My uncle Steven H. Kupihea had a saying, "Persistent Persuit of Progress". Thank you for the video.

Ramsey, me gusta mucho tu canal, pero cuando te escuché hablar de Argentina simplemente me volví loco. Tengo 39 años y viví toda mi vida entre el barrio de Ciudadela, Haedo y ahora en la Capital Federal. Las cosas están bastante mal por aquí, algunas veces peor que otras. Quién no lo vivió no sabe lo que es estar aquí. Te felicito por la respuesta que le diste a ese señor, por el tono de sus palabras creo que ni siquiera merece tanta respuesta, pero tu experiencia y calidad humana se demuestra en tus palabras. Como decimos por aqui: "A la gilada ni cabida" Te mando un abrazo de amigo. Ojalá algún día pueda visitar China, me encantaría, y de paso visito tu gimnasio. Saludos!!!

About a half hour in when dale's sentences start falling apart it sounds like how drunk people type. And with all the talking about how long he's been doing this for sounds like he's desperately trying to convince himself that he's actually teaching something useful

I suspect he's calling you out because he knows you live in Shanghai and he'll never cross your path? 😂 Dale is like one of those guys who trains for a few months then goes into his local boxing gym and challenges the trainer only to get some reality and humility beat into him! also I'm sorry as a long time subscriber and commenter if I ever swore in any of my comments 🙏 I'm Australian and swearing is as natural as breathing for us!

Excellent Analysis, I hope you make it out of the city. Peace Warrior 😎

In the late eighties the Red Berets came to Hollywood to patrol the streets. They all wore identical uniforms and red berets and they would walk the sidewalks, usually in pairs, sometimes in threes. In my experience they were cool and were not looking for trouble and they were ready to respond to trouble. They disappeared sometime in the late nineties. Now there is a private security force occasionally walking the streets, dressed like L.A.P.D. without holsters and guns (they have nightsticks and cuffs). Most of them are overweight and a bit arrogant but if you joke with them they will usually loosen up. I felt safe with they Red Berets, no so much with Hollywood Security.

This can't be reallll

Simply talking about your accomplishments shouldn't be bragging. So many people do nothing with their lives though these days.

Dale is such a clown, he should be happy an actual martial artist is responding to him in anyway. Also, I think the only ways Dale has ever helped anyone is finishing other people's plates, and getting people killed with his crappy "techniques".

My favorite thing about Dale is that he did a video with Master Ken. It was very entertaining seeing them almost trying to one up each other with their seriousness, until you realize that Dale wasn't joking, and actually wanted his D.U.S.T to be taken seriously next to Ameridote.

I saw my name and thought Ramsey wanted to fight me. I was like “hell nah you’d beat me up” lol. Nice video tho!

this dale guy is a comedian right?

I was shot after I failed to utilize the proper gun disarm. Luckily Dale came in, fought off the attacker. Then used the ankle lock on me to heal all of my gun wounds. Nothing short of a miracle.
