Finally, I how guide to start my martial arts business! I can't wait to get people on a 6 month contract in the promise that their kid can get a black belt in 25 private lessons (billed separately of course)!! Much easier to fake it rather than to actually train.
This video should be required viewing for ppl interested in martial arts. Actually the entire channel should be. Every video is spot on. Dude has definitely spent a lot of time in & around combat sports. It gives ppl a perspective that can't be gained from just dojo training. This channel & Icey Mike's are probably the best two MA channels on youtube.
This was a hillarious video! :) The confidence thing is kinda scary though, you can see it in almost any field, someone who spent exactly 5 seconds thinking about a complex subject and start making absolute statements with 100% confidence:/
I recently convinced my ttrpg group that glasses on walls only work indoors because they capture sound that bounces off the other walls. No one challenged that thought. Luckily, I care enough about being right to check myself, shock and fucking terror I was dead wrong. And sure, glasses on walls don't do much to help, but they do help a little, irregardless of open space or not. Edit:also I immediately went and admitted to being wrong because misinformation is wrong, yo.
I always wanted to be a fake martial arts master. Now after watching this video I have the fire and determination to do what needs to be done.I’m so hippy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for someone to speak the truth for quite some time welcome to social media I hope I see a lot more of your content and I will be supporting you in the future!
Watching your videos to me is like going on self defense courses: it feels like I have learned sth and can now beat up anybody with my knowledge or strategy, but really I haven't done anything that will help me win I still really like them, so thank you for making this information available and even tasty by adding some humor❤
Fakes will always put people down for cross training. "Why would you look anywhere else, when my system has everything, and you just need to spend 20 years mastering it?"
every aikido guy thinks they can fight until they get to the ground and elbowed in their brain and chocked. lol. martial arts will always be destroyed by actual fighters
yeah, when I watched that Remys fellow videos at first i thought- good on you Remy, at least you are trying to pressure test your aikido etc but then he started talking about how rokas has no right to talk about aikido because he has no authority on the subject due to insufficient training or incorrect training methodology etc etc. if he feels that Rokas's video offended him it is up to him to proof them wrong and certainly not by talking non sense. Rokas on the other hand is far too nice in dealing with those buffoons especially when he does not have to present any explanations to those fellows. why do they feel offended anyways? like let's investigate together what works and what doesn't and get to the bottom of this rather than get territorial and defensive about their art- which clearly sucks btw
@@ArmchairViolence though you forgot a step, you must always make sure that everyone knows how humble you are and if challenged, you must say either: I try to be humble, or I don't like to brag, and they you must brag none stop about everything you've done.
Jesus everytime I listen to this bloke I want to tell another tale of my old karate teacher. He had some terrible demonstrations he did that he thought made him look mint. Oh well there you go
The second someone associates their martial art with the military I assume the point of their martial art is to train recent high school graduates to be more aggressive. Military martial arts are marginally less effective at their only purpose than your average Call of Duty lobby.
Mainly because most litteraly only train a single day or maybe 4 max If someone does make it to lvl 3(army combatives) theyre basically around the level of an amature brazilian jiu jitsu guy
There was this guy that got SUPER butt hurt about Michael Jai White saying he'd beat Bruce Lee that Viking Samurai interviewed... That guy was the Dealing with Critics section personified.
That's the difference between fantasy martial artists and people that do actual combat sports lol Michael Jai White could beat up Bruce Lee. I could beat up Bruce Lee. The guy was 135 lbs and didn't know any grappling lol. White is over 200 lbs. That fight wouldn't even be close!
Make up a martial art of moves you saw from other existing martial arts on RU-vid (real arts or not) and claim to have improved the arts, give it a name and create an organization. If ever criticized always point out the validity of those martial arts your art is based on - you can simply copy all their arguments! Your art has a fist in it and everyone knows how effective boxing is! A throw from Judo - Judo is pressure-tested therefore your art is too!
I think doing daily strength and conditioning and building up a good cardio level would be much better than doing taichi and krav maga. Remember guys even the greatest of mma fighters need athletecism.
Fun Fact: the IDF Krav Maga is like a couple weeks and it's mostly about having a soldiers/lethal mindset and essentially go nuts on them cause if you're fighting with your hands as a soldiers, well to quote a certain uncle "You fucked up"
I made a video about military martial arts (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3coXUrwtX0U.html) and you basically echoed all of the points I made! Good job! Lol
ps, vast majority of aikido aikido schools and their practitioners suck at fighting. have been training functional martial arts since age of 10 and I still suck at fighting also- the only difference between me and aikido masters is that I know that I suck
Live in a small country with their own language (kinda optional but it helps against being detected by 2/3rd of the world if your sites aren't english) and set up different websites of nonexisting masters, organizations and hierachies of your fake martial art and make them crossreference each other. (IIRC one of the "masters" Rokas looked into did that).
Dude... I was watching one of the other vids on Keysi and saw the comments. Please, I seriously suggest to stop responding to them, you are wasting your time. If a person can't see how things like Wing Chun or Kung fu are worse than Bjj, muay thai, ignore. Its painful to see how their brain works.
I 100% agree it's a waste of time lol I do it to practice explaining things to idiots. I'm trying to practice making arguments that are so clear, brief, and logically obvious that even morons can understand them. I'll never truly get there, but it's fun to try! 😂
I agree most of the self defense/traditional martial arts is Bs but some have validity like some of the "for the streets" does hold example if you slam someone on the pavement vs in the ring it's a huge difference it could easily be lethal
100%, but who'd you rather have slam you on concrete? A wrestler/judoka/MMA practicioner or someone practicing Aikido, Wing Chun or Krav Maga? If the latter slam you, it hurts, if the former slam you, there's a you-shaped hole in the ground.
Still awaiting the day your video will be positive instead of negative... Title could have been how to be a proper martial artist or how to ensure you are in a good school. Take all your points and reverse them.... I was under the impression martial arts were a positive thing. This channel so far has offered negativity and downers. The points you pass across are exrtemely important (for those who havent heard them before) its just too bad it always comes across as attacking or putting down others. Just promote what works and dont talk about what doesnt. No need to focus time on what is useless. As per saving moneys to people or ensuring they are on the right path, I posit that most of the people who want a short answer will still refuse the truth or hard work. I am not sure who your audience is i guess, but as a long time martial artist I am not seeing anything unseen or uneard before. I think you have lots of knowledge and things to pass on to younger generations. Its just the method I have a hard time understanding... Its also important that one knows what they are looking for. And yes some are looking for a quivk fix/sport activity that will make them sweat while gicing them a sense of confidence (false of course). They are not trying to compete or even be efficient, because any system takes more then a few months or years to be properly efficient with. Yeah sure puches and kicks but proper combination knowing how and when to use whichever, how to close distance blah blah blah I dont have to tell you that, you obviously are training and seem to have been doing so for a while. You know that even after you think or seem to know everything there is still so much more... Point is, martial arts (real ones) are not for everyone. Most like to pretend (even in serious classes). People like to think they know how to fight and like to be dominant (even tough society tells us dominant is bad) yet dont want to actually learn it and by thr same token admit they dont know anything. Taking a class is admitting you dont know and are willing to learn. Ego comes into play too often. Again, nice and intelligent content. Important content too, kids need to know about these things (kids or beginner but I assume adults have a bit morr of critical thinking and can analyse things on their own) as it can be easy to confuse or pillage people with wrong or false information. Lets not even talk about cults (I mean, you should but not what I am trying to say here lol) or other bizzare things some group make their students do. They have an acendent on them and pretend to impart knowledge they cant get anywhere else (which is false again) and some people are willing to do some "interedting" things to get what they want... It is a sad state of things. Rokas from Martial Arts Journey has a video on that with a guest where they go in a lot more details.... Thabks again for taking the 24hours to read this message.... So damn long lmao Thanks sir
I have to disagree with your first point. Knowing what DOESN'T work can be extremely useful. Especially to a beginner, learning only the positive--what works--doesn't differentiate between what is simply irrelevant/an acceptable variation and what will fail. I often find myself wishing more content creators would point out "not to do's." Also, a seemingly negative title gets more views. It's somewhat human nature to pay more attention to the "bad." Content creators deserve to eat too.
@@institches2750 I agree on all you say. I simply disagree with the method he used. I also think if you go to class and your teacher instructs you properly you should be able to ask questions and no doubts should be left by the end of the session. Doubts as per the efficacity of a technique and how to execute it. Bad habits or method or techniques will be weeded out. For someone who has no knowledge whatsoever it may be helpful if they also do more research on their own. As per RU-vidrs needing to eat I cannot disagree with that. Wierdly lots of others manage to find a way to remain positive or avoid the negative and seem to be doing fine. Art of one Dojo is an exemple same with Jesse Enkamp. They try real hard to not offend anyone (sometimes to their detriment cuz when something is crap there is no 1000 ways about it). So I think it is possible to have content that is not focused on the negative and still have views. But again, it all matters as per who your public is. Bizzarely on youtube most content creator are preaching to the choir. Rare are the ones who are getting only new peoole and therefore cannot set continuity. If the crowd he targets is more prone to respond to negativity/shock then yes thats what he needs to do. Maybe I am the problem and I am not his target audience... But then again I feel his audience might be college age and recently starting Martial arts and want to compete/ be effectice fast. So MMA and the style he support is what I reccomend seeing more of and less bashing of the others. Screw them they dont work we dont care. We care and want to se what does.
Best way to be a fake practitioner of Martial Arts. Practice MMA and claim it's the answer to every self defense situation that's occurs. Also another way I can think of is to engage in hypocrisy and engage in strawman and Ad hominem arguments while trying to prove your point.
@@ArmchairViolence actually I do, half my degree revolves around the use of logic....and the fallacies that occur when it is misused when trying to argue or explain a hypothesis.
@@ArmchairViolence actually I have a question for you, I noticed that you used a clip from defense labs in this video. I was wondering if you would be willing to explain what he was trying to demonstrate in that video.
@@kaybee8950 Ah, I see what you're doing. The actual title of the Defense Lab video was "How to Defend Yourself From Multiple Opponents." I suspect that you're trying to draw a distinction between him promising to teach you to "defend yourself" and me talking about "beating up" multiple attackers. 1. I write the script before I look for relevant examples, so what I'm saying is rarely a 'perfect' match up to the clip I show. I picked it because it was a demo that clearly showed multiple attackers in a very short amount of time. I would have used any example that fit that qualification. 2. What he IS promising is still just as much of a fraudulent lie. While you can argue I misrepresented what he SAID, I did not misrepresent his credibility. Here's my video on defending against multiple attackers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYcFt8gN3vs.html 3. This video was intended mainly for comedy. It's pretty clearly NOT a detailed argument against any specific people (is it kind of a direct criticism of Remy, though). If you want a video in which I genuinely criticize Defense Lab from a less comedic perspective, that's here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wc_OinABMFY.html
