GSP teaches Lex Fridman how to street fight 

Of you stomp the instep you won't need to run fast.

GSP has my respect but that knife advice is terrible and will get you killed. For a knife you force distance and remove your shirt and span it between your hands. Then let the attacker swing. Block the blade with the shirt pulled taut. Eventually it'll tangle in the shirt and they either release it or sacrifice control of an arm.

Very nice

Avoid, deflect, run, fight with all means necessary if needed, any instructor worth their salt (eg decent Krav Maga guys) will tell you that

Don't forget to eat 😁

I thought nobody would notice this. It made me laugh all day.

I mean... You are not you wheb you're hungry

And on the off chance that you're about to fight a Canadian, the first thing you need to do is eat the Canadian #InBruges

Doesn't have to tell me twice!

Saying that "The minute you touch me, you are declaring war", taken literally, is terrible advice. It flies in the face of how the world works. Simply touching someone can mean a lot of things. Responding to a touch with a non-proportional response is generally unwise. Is it wise to escalate? As a general rule, no. The other person may have a range of intentions. Example #1: a drunk person bumps into you on accident. Intention to fight: unlikely. Example 2: dude pushes his finger into your sternum. Intention to intimidate or fight: high. Now, if your intuition says you are about to get attacked, you can choose step away. Do that. Don't try to diffuse a boiling situation with words -- by the time emotions have got that hot, they don't cool down easily. Rationality is probably a lost cause. Trying to diffuse the situation only with words is risky. Step back, use body language to show you aren't a threat. Be the wiser person. Your anger and ego might not like these non-violent options, but the violent outcomes tend to be worse, even if you "win".

​@@burts6896you did not understand the context of the scenario when he said it then. Sounds like you haven't been on a fight before

​@@sepg5084 Reasonable people can see the context differently. Sure, I get his general gist, which is: use the element of surprise and don't hold back. But he doesn't discuss the consequences of fighting (winning or losing) nor alternatives to the Krav Maga style eye and groan strikes. A video of this length can't cover much, I get it. Still, I find this one somewhat irresponsible. I think Lex could have done better in editing. This is not his first rodeo.

@@burts6896 He invited a fighter, not a non-conflict street negotiator to his program. So your comments here make zero sense in the context of this specific video. And I am not even talking that they dicuss a scenario when you WILL get hit anyways. Stepping back especially against an aggressive tall person gives him a great distancne for a kick, very cimfortable to hit you in the groin while you move back. Please, don't give any advice anymore. :)

@@burts6896before he said that, he was talking about being in a heated argument with someone. Why are you being so intentionally obtuse?

Can also see that lex has not been in fights. He trains jiujitsu as a sport but real life experience on situations he probably has 0

@@jjjyli686who gets into street fights on a daily basis? It should be avoided always if you want to stay alive

@@veridianr2490 this is true. Years ago when I was younger my ex got threatened by a group of guys on her birthday in London. Me being the ultra male had to do something. Was completely outnumbered, had something to prove. Did well, they couldn’t fight all that well and I managed to stay up. That’s when one of them pulled a knife. By gods grace I have no idea how - maybe due to the sheer amount of adrenaline I managed to fight him off without getting harmed. After, I felt like such a strong man and was so proud of myself. Now I look back and I’m embarrassed, it could’ve gone so fucking wrong so easily and I would’ve left the love of my life bleeding out on the pavement whilst she cried. Best thing I could’ve done would be to tell her to ignore them, get her and her friends safely away and just leave.

IKR. wtf GSP

😂😂

Blind someone for pulling your tie, I'm sure the jury will be lenient😂

😂😂😂

Yea you're dumb for sure. He's obviously saying if you already can't escape easily.

xD

just remember, always get as close to the weapon as possible. it's gonna be fine

Well that is how it is they are no magical technic you can just learn from a video on RU-vid.

Don’t forget to wear a suit gotta look classy while getting your ass kicked

Remember, it's all about the eyes, blind tyhem 4 life

Then the balls

The part of the video about going for the eyes so quickly was not persuasive nor useful. First, avoiding a fight is preferable. Second, the context and environment is key. Sure, there are times when you "fight for your life", but this is not *all the time*. Where in the video does GSP talk about the context? Nuance is not something that GSP communicates well here in this video.

@@burts6896 street fight = street fight, hope that helps

They should add him as a guest appearance.

I thought the EXACT same thing. I did just finish Cobra Kai season 4 today..haha. but GSP would for sure be part of Miagi-do. He is the good guy.

He also basically ran down the second guys teachings from cobra kai to Daniel, if your opponent cannot see he cannot fight, if he cannot breath he cannot fight, if he cannot stand he cannot fight. You take away any of these things from your opponent and you win the fight.

@@boxer6796 can you tell me what he said at first ? Id rather fight Ngannou than fight ..???

i wouldn't say he's "one of the most agressive fighters" dude has more "W's" come down to decision's defending his title than any other champ in MMA. doesn't mean he's not in the conversation for top 5... cause he certainly is. i just wouldn't call him "agressive."

GSP as a champion was like the opposite of aggressive fighter, someone who just tries to break opponents with ruthless offense, he was very calculating, found out opponents weakness and exploited them, an insane athlete with amazing takedowns and timing, dominant top control, and he had a heck of a jab

@@jacobsvensson8193 when I said agressive I didn't mean Mike Perry agressive, I meant GSP agressive. Calculating, timing, countering, but from first second until last he was putting his rapid tempo on his opponents. I rewatched his highlights few days ago, and realized GSP was freaking relentless, overwhelming his opponents with fast tempo, but yet was very careful and patient with his shots especially.

Prob the least aggressive fighter but the smartest. He’s the GOAT imo

While everyone knows how humble GSP is lol, I love seeing all these comments saying how humble he is, on a video where he’s not humble and exclaims several times he’s UFC champion and to not fuck with him 😂

He has a sharp, rational mindset. Gtfo with that "humbleness" bullshit. You barely grasp the extent of that word's meaning.

Cheers bro, wondering what he said there

Bing bong !

Kaaaading kaaaaadang

Best tactic to me is to avoid fighting at all. There is nothing wrong about it especially if you are not an experienced fighter. Street fights are dirty and without rules, so you never know if your opponent has someone in the back, weapon, etc. So most of the time it is better to run.

Idk about what he said tho 🤣🤣 he said he'd rather face francis ngannou in a street fight, than bas rutten. They're both terrifying individuals, but bas would just manhandle you while Francis would literally treat it like the Rozenstruik fight x10. Go check out that fight, and now imagine it being in an alley way lmaoo

I went back to my cousin, and knocked his baby tooth out. We were good friends after that, and I didn't feel helpless any more.

That part is still true however GSP gives us our options if a fight cannot be avoided and/or the aggressor is bigger stronger.

You first need to act as you are thinking in the argument!

You forgot "leave the scene". The most important part of what he was saying.

Everyone else: "but what of the way of the peace? The peaceful way?" GSP: "you gotta cause a lot of damage, so you must blind them and suffocate them into submission."

"There's no rulz"

In Sparta they had aggression and nobody complained

@@HitlerlandBoi It might be an idea for you to read about Sparta actual history.. How they rounded up their 'wild/savage' children that had survived the terror that was inflicted upon them... I think those children complained plenty.

@@BaconRecoil You're much more likely to be murdered or assaulted if you draw a weapon on someone in defense. Once a firearm is drawn there's no longer the "flight" mechanism in the mind of the assailant, there's only a fight or die mechanism that takes over in the brain. If you do have a firearm, keep it hidden and don't draw it until they approach you directly with a weapon. You're best off to keep it hidden and just hint at it's existence by putting your hand in your jacket, etc. It's all psychological. Unless of course you want your children to get charged with manslaughter for shooting an unarmed man. Even if they WERE going to get in a fist fight, there's no proof of that without a weapon and the ends don't justify the means. This obsession with the firearm really has caused a lot of hubris, idiocy and tens of thousands of kids of prison for years on end who took another persons life out of what they culturally were taught was fine to do - to take another mans life because he was having a bad day and started screaming at you. Ask any public defense attorney and they'll tell you where giving an 18 year a weapon will get them. Sorry to disrupt your previously held belief that taking another mans life is legal and just dandy, because they're the "other". You'll also see your child sued into abject poverty by the person they shot, or the family of the victim. (They became the victim, of course, because you made it that way instead of just teaching your child to run away from unarmed assailants instead of reaching for a firearm.) They won't be as lucky as a police officer who can just claim he saw him reaching for a knife but it was just a cell phone.

@@JoeyVol 1. Most criminals look for victims, not fights. 2. In most states it’s illegal to brandish your weapon unless your life is in imminent danger. 3. Why are you just assuming parents are going to hand out firearms without having an understanding of state laws? 4. Every time you fire a gun in self defense you’re risking your freedom. Risk your freedom or have your life ended. The choice is yours if you’re carrying. 5. If you’re pulling out a gun cause a fist fight is about to happen, you’re probably not cut out to be a responsible gun owner.

Not if it's a keto or carnivore diet kid.

When he is getting ready to attack "hol up bro, just chill for a sec, i havent had breafeat yet!" *Takes out an egg sandwich and and starts chomping on it*

Best of luck in your studies

If you're studying AI, let me recommend a little hidden gem of an indie film called Terminator 2: Judgement Day. It'll tell you everything you need to know about the field.

Ah yes master Ryan, we must always remain calm when a random drunk smashes a bottle over our heads or sucker punches us for no reason… Can’t let that make us excited or we won’t win the fight Just amazing advice master 🙄

Well that's what training is for jerk. You know what prepares one for being calm while being punched in the face? Getting punched in the face. Muscle memory doesn't leave you just because you're not calm. I can't even remove the top of a bottle and take a drink from it without bringing my other hand holding the cap up to the side of my head. That muscle memory won't allow me to. Stress doesn't make you forget how to breathe or move or pump blood. You don't learn how to fight. You train your body to fight.

Learning martial arts and being confident with your abilities will help you be calm and defuse the situation, BUT not if you get physically abused or hit. I was so patient but I got assaulted while trying to explain myself, so can't do anything about it but to give it to him, the power of takedown and BJJ, lol.

I didn't get much out of the video. IMO, beginners need more of an overview of "the menu". Take the example of someone who is just about to punch you -- here are four things to consider: (1) avoid (e.g. dodge, duck, step back); (2) block & deflect; (3) control & defense (e.g. arm control, cover and clinch); and (4) draw attention. I hope to find level-headed, clear instruction along these lines.
