I tried US Marine corps Martial Arts - Shallow water grappling 

Rah SSgt, Thanks to you and the rest of the Devils in the video for demonstrating the best of the Marine Corps to all his viewers. Motivated as hell watching this right now.

I really hope you collab again sometime! I wish you had more screentime lmao Cheers!

Gettin me fired up sarge!

You're a tech person, you're hella fit, you do photography, climb, do martial arts and you look like a cool positive person. That's boyfriend material right there

Definitely not only hard, but also smart. Good to know some guys like this when you’re in trouble!

We all need a guy like that to wake us up and get motivated on a Monday morning!

more like he was letting out what he needed to let out XDDDDD

@@xoshnax5962 he definitely has some childhood demons. the amount of lets go's was a bit much.

Let's GOOOOOOO! :)

I'd follow him into a firefight.

I mean...

Bro was going ape shit. Can I get him in the sidelines for football

STUDY FOR THAT TEST, LETS GO! LETS GO! LETS GOOOOOOOO!

Is there a double meaning that i'm not getting? 😅

Yeah you're missing..... LETS GOoOOOoO

was about to say the same thing, the guys couldn't get him off them.

Seemed like his grip strength and forearm strength were really advantageous

My skinny daughter has amazing grip strength We do BJJ and I hate when she gets a hold of me or my GI, it’s always almost a game over’

@@halo99yo especially in the water where legs are not as much of a factor he did have a massive advantage in terms of physicality

"Yo! get those death grips off me man!" Really cracked me up. Seems like Magnus surprised him with how strong he was.

He’s a weirdly well-rounded athlete for how specialized a sport rock climbing is. Thanks for your service!

I honestly cant even imagine how Magnus' grip strength feels like on the back of the neck. It has be what cats feel like being scruffed by humans

sir yessir!!

Magnus climbing grips 😱 can’t imagine the strengths on that

@@abichau5392 He has videos where he test his grip strength. It's insane.

was about the comment the same thing. absolute homie indeed.

I want him following me even in exercising

I need him to follow me around in the gym goddamn

yeah, loved that guy too, great motivator

I know right...my God, i was planning to go to bed but after watching that part now i'm doing burpees and squats in my living room in the middle of the night! The guy is a legend!

I'm pretty sure they are wrestling on their knees for Magnus's benefit. You can see in the very first fight the marines starting on their feet. However Magnus doesn't have the same leg strength or martial arts training as these marines do. So to put Magnus against one of these marines starting on foot wouldn't be a fair fight. By restricting the fight to knees only, the marines are being handicapped while giving Magnus the benefit of his upper body strength. This does not discredit Magnus's win though. I can tell you that marine was truely fighting. Magnus almost choked out a marine and that is no easy thing. Mad respect for that. If this fight started on foot however, I think Magnus would have little to no chance. He is a world class rock climber who has conditioned his body for climbing. These marines are world class level athletes who have conditioned their bodies for survival in a fight. In a on foot, no holds barred fight, the marines would win 10/10 times. On a timed wall climb, Magnus would win 10/10 times.

@@skunk_ink3954 I think that's far fetched as I highly doubt marines only practice grappling with the sense of a clean fight. If they don't know how to win when they go down on their knees than they would be screwed in real life situations and I don't think the difference in the type of leg strength used in grappling is big enough in this scenario for the marines to win every single time with a standing start. Totaly agree that they wouldn't stand a chance in a timed wall climb though, same as Magnus probably wouldn't hold much of a candle in a heavy march exercise.

@@Ramdapanda I wasn't implying that marines don't train in every situation. What I was saying is that the marines have far stronger legs than Magnus does. There for allowing legs to be used in this would put Magnus and a huge disadvantage. By bringing the fight to only their knees it brings things to a much more even level. While the marines are still far more trained at grappling than Magnus is. Magnus has far superior upper body strength than the marines. This allows Magnus to make up for his lack of fighting experience by virtue of his insane grip strength. So I was only trying to say that fighting on their knees makes the fight more fair. Not that it makes them equals.

​@@skunk_ink3954some of the Marines also started kneeling though...it's just inherently safer to start that way. It's the same in jiu jitsu. Beginners usually don't know how to fall properly so it's safer to ease into stand up grappling. Magnus did well here because he focused on controlling the head. His strength helped of course but technique is key in grappling, just like climbing.

This feels very awesome. When I did a sports test necessary for becoming a sports teacher we did this in groups to and everyone was very supportive and encouraging Really give you that extra power

Yes, I thought exactly the same. Amazing.

Marines appreciate people that train with the right attitude. Most people don't understand the team mindset that they develop. Yes they are competitive, but they always support each other. You need that attitude in combat.

I really did… he had me GASSED

Super awesome to watch, and fantastic reactions. The ability to constructively talk it out like you two did is admirable. Well done to you both!

THATS MY SGT 😂😂

Awesome!

Magnus had really good head control. Was surprised to see that. Good instincts and his scary grip strength made a great combo. Hats off to Sergeant Hobley and everyone there. Fitness aside the character and integrity is world class as well.

I’ve been a fan of his videos and who he is for a long time now, it was an amazing experience to not only help out with his video, but also race alongside him!

As a Swede, its so strange to hear an American pronounciation of Magnus. I actually thought they were trolling and yelling "maggot" like in all movies, until i realized his name sounds a bit different in english :)

@@ledrash6079 oh wow. How does it sound in Swedish? I’m very curious. English has a terrible tendency to butcher the pronunciation of names

It’s difficult to find the kind of brotherhood there is in the marines. Even better in combat roles. Also kinda bad if you are weak or not trying. Very demanding but also very empowering. Tough love. If any of my kids pick to join the military I will do my best to suggest the marine corps.

​@@davidlindsey6111 Magnus is like = mung-nouss

But he can't do a basic bodyweight squat lol

@@echocharlie1398 his strength is in his grip and arms more than legs so it makes sense

@@echocharlie1398 why hate 😐 hes strong as fuck

@@echocharlie1398 the bigger and stronger the legs the worse it is for climbing. Just dead weight most of the time. Specialization.

Физподготовка важна. Но зачем инструктор так орёт? Только слабые духом кричат. Со стороны это выглядит смешно и глупо.

He's a top G fr

That's what it is all about. That's why nacrissists and other self centered people don't do well there even tho they might be outperforming most normal soldiers.

My thoughts exactly. Some people might think he was kinda bullying Magnus with all that yelling :D, but anyone who trained anything in their life realizes he's a "peak gym mate". Just shoveling Magnus with that energy and motivation, that guy would make me go twice as hard I normally go :D. Anyone should be thankful if they have training partner/couch like that.

The excitement and appreciation of that guy below his words gave me happy tears :')

That's called motivating in the Marines. They also did it when he was doing the O course.

His energy will take you up levels

I need him as my personal hypeman

Spend a day and the life of a Marine and you will realize real quick if you aint yelling you aint Motivated. Thats music that Marines sleep to. 55 yo Marine here. Semper Fi

you can tell he only cares about supporting his brothers and sisters, a wholesome-absolute-unit

go to boot camp. you hear it all day every day lol

"You can rest when you're dead!"

That's the part I liked the most

Ran those same roads great job keeping pace Magnus

Yup, ran that same O-course. Oorah! Semper Fi!

Man he did it with Gunny Torres I’m suprised he made it we used to call him El Diablo 😂😂😂

@@goldenboy2194 that's awesome

My buddy is stationed at Pendleton rn. He works in the armory

Looking to join early next year into infantry, any advice you could give mate?

​@@thepopeshat8029its not my story to tell, nor my duty to help you with advice - but taking on that mindset that EVERYTHING can be conquered. That one team one job and the full dedication for the job and your duty hopefully checks some of the important morals to have. Further or more, i hope you get it. Keep us updated how it went!

IKR hahahhaa

Almost started doing push-ups myself damn that guy is suberb at that :D

that shit is fucking annoying.

And he absolutely destroyed his opponent in the water, that guy is an animal!

LOL! I can almost guarantee you he was the PAO (public affairs) guy. That was also me, a PAO pougue, but I'd run that O-course a half-dozen times in a row ... back in 1990.

@@choomahinducer2520 hahahahahahhaha well done 👏

@@choomahinducer2520 HAHAHAH Bjørn Identity

imagine if he learns parkour

@@choomahinducer2520 take my angry upvote

you should this too

this was great and all, but i want to see magnus try to take us on on the volleyball court

no kidding i expected baby instructors. they got him good. excellent job Magnus

Yeah I would be exhausted without the 25lb plate already

You think there was an Armed Insurrection January 6th,2020? Where are the weapons that were collected? Liars is all that the Congress does to the American people. Where were the weapons? The media would have had a field day, showing all the weapons on TV. Show the American people all the weapons that were brought to the capital, where are the pictures? FBI lies and so does all that has feed this lie. Trump MAGA 2024

Them climber forearms babyy

@@israsalme this, this dude certainly has stronger grip then they do, it’s really cool to see,

I'm pretty sure they were going in a more friendly manor than usual. Elite Marines are usually super competetive, packed with macho aggresion to dominate. Maybe they just brought the "nicest" Marines. Grip strength is no joke in grappling though. I once sparred in BJJ with someone whom had Monkey like grip. I felt unable to do anything despite being more experienced

@@daystardaystardaystardayst1865 Hmm but I definitely don’t think Magnus won by chance. Maybe if won once you can argue by luck but he beat not one but two guys in grappling and the second guy is much larger and seen Magnus won the first one so he shouldn’t be caught off guard or surprise and the second guy himself said 22:44 “I give you almost everything I had. It was good. You beat me”

I mean, I don't he's lacking in core strength either.

Just imagine it comes out that he was only cleaning service

@@Mandalorian_John 🤣🤣😂💀

The older the marine usually the more they had to go through my dad was army late 80s into the 90s and him watching some of the basic training stuff of today he laughs and is like man that would’ve been like a day on the playground 😂

I was in the Marines. Most Marines that are good at fighting were good before the Marines. Marines combat training is a joke

Being proud of your father is great. It shows that you guys have a good connection.

yea but lets be honest,fuck them martial arts shit just shoot em

@Cool Story Bro this wasn't an official training. Yes we put our plates in

@Cool Story Bro you’re an insecure little dude, if you’re actually even in the service, I hope you get flatlined

@Cool Story Bro cool story bro

@Cool Story Bro Its okay man. We all know rangers are equivalent to infantry marines. We're cool man. Same team same fight

Bro fr ! GySgt Torres is a badass I was in his company for bootcamp he was very different than the other drill instructors 🙏🏽! He talked to you and explained shit to you in a way others wouldn’t

Yo I remember him from my boot camp, I believe he was in plt 1070 when I was their, he was a SDI

Oh right.. we should honor those who kill children and women, the American way.

No one asked. Lol jkjk that’s dope

yes he is, was with him in 29 palms

Hi Anton!

And yet Magnus says Anton is the mean one...

YOU need to try this man!! I'd like to see how well you do one these courses

I would love to see Magnus train BJJ for a solid month with a legit camp and see how he fares in a white belt tournament after such a short time. His strength:weight ratio is off the charts!!

Anton, too bad you couldn't have been there with Magnus. You two really know how to push your limits.

Dude was hyping me up as well 🤣 😂

I was out of my seat!!!

I wouldn't be able to do anything but laugh if that dude was trying to motivate me lol.

for real though, he was making glass out of that sand!

​@@rekt4guud134 then you never did these types of Training

do these dudes ever go to war? or do they just do shit around the base an stay fit all day?

@@BayAreaBully7667 That's the million dollar question. When I was in my first unit, we were all itching to get deployed and earn our stripes. But most of the time was spent in a groundhogs day of training exercises.

I was just thinking that. You can't just scream at someone constantly or they kinda just zone out. He knew exactly when to push the right button and how to push it

He had me dying laughing

Image 20 years of service with no deployments … 💀

Why cant they grapple then lmao

@@MichaelStoller84 maybe because the other guys is top tier also.... lol

@@joshuahelt6589 bruh i can tell that they can't grapple. by looking at their technique also what grappling experience does magnus have? I dont think he has any and he went undefeated lmao

@@MichaelStoller84 because he went against non grapplers? If you're looking for grapplers. We in the dojo ;-). This type of fighting they teach is dirty fighting it's not meant for sports lol. It's meant for scratching your opponents eyes out and ripping their balls out. Idk if that's the type of grappling you looking for 😂 if you want a real grappling there's marines that do bjj in the dojos nearby

@@DerrelTheReal Wait what? are you disagreeing? They don't know how to grapple, we agree I think. I do do a lot of BJJ I'm an MMA fighter lmao

Might not have to worry in a few years, as there's arguments being made to dissolve the Marine Corps.

Its said a lot in dojos and training as well, but for marines, its the truth! Which makes it really hard corps ;)

@@thomasbecker9676 wait, what?!

@@5upl1an They overlap too much with the larger branches, and it confuses the chain of command, so the plan is to slowly draw down and combine them into the Navy and Army. It's actually already started in some capacity.

@@thomasbecker9676 They've been saying that for decades.

where are you let's try it.

A pro-boxers daily routine ;D I saw people threw up on their first boxing warmup :)

⁠@@loucypher417I’ve only throw up from working out once, my buddy put me through his normal workout once & it was insane, learned why he is so strong & was a personal trainer at the time, now a physical therapist. Need to hit him up & ask for a work out routine. In college I stopped working out a lot & now a few years later just run & do basic body work outs like push ups, burpees, sit ups & pull ups. Never get so tired I feel like I’m gonna throw up but that may be bc im not working out hard enough. Maybe time to up the intensity a bit, just not to throwing up levels

You think it wasn't fake?

​@@goku445 why would it. in some of his other videos he loses as well. also he is a mad fit guy.

@@downey2294 I don't know. I feel like it was fake based on the way he (instructor) fights and the fact it is his damn job. Also his talk after sounds off.

@@goku445 maybe you're right. idk.

Definitely not fake.. I'm always surprised when people can't recognise true honest greatness. You must be a republican:)

Also there’s a lot to say about doing that stuff in the soft sand. That will drain you so much.

@@AM-fz4qv No kidding, legs always feel like jello after a day running around the beach not even working out

Kind of commenting as I watched. Magnus, you’d make one hell of a Marine. Nice job dude, you killed it. Makes me feel bad cause I’m so out of shape now that I’m out! Lol. Great job, awesome video.

@@AM-fz4qv Use that motivation to get back into shape!!

There are no “former marines” and we will always appreciate your service!

I think grapplers could learn from elite climbers. The grip strength alone must really give a huge advantage.

@@inthefade I am pretty sure he has some serious specific wrestling skills. His front headlock and bail on pure roll around positions. I am old now, but I can grapple some, but against talented grapplers (like Ju Jitsu athletes) I just wrestle. Like Magnus did. I will say I wrestled a few guys who had that kind of grip with big hands. Very frustrating.

@@scottg6754 in my opinion it's the head control magnus used. It puts you of balance and makes doing anything to your opponent that much harder.

@@scottg6754 Yeah his bail and roll when it looked he lost leverage was a tell that he either has some training or crazy instincts

Yeah, its a combination of a bit of grappling experience and an absolutely disgustingly strong grip, and anyone who has wrestled or done BJJ knows how important grip is. Peeling grips is something a lot of grapplers spend a ton of time training to do, and I'm sure its next to impossible to peel his.

I'm sure he's just wiping off sand, isnt he

@@MrMagJon this shows you that people will create a narrative in their head and run with it as facts.

its sand

Nice story but he is wiping sand off

Went straight to the comments after seeing homie scream in his ear, love it

Man can't agree more . Also they are teaching valuable stuff the whole time . I like when he says it isn't so much yourself when you feel dead in the water that pulls you through but everybody around you . That was awesome

uhmm i think you might get carried away and punch the marine in the face when your so exhausted and tired and the marine still screaming at your face. you may have anger issue when you reach ur limit hahhahhahaha

That's what men do .. just make sure there are more men to break it up bc two men that rlly wanna go at each other can go farther than needs to be just outta anger lol . We're men and when we get angry shit gets better or we get worse

If I had that dude hyping me up in the gym I’d be carrying an extra 10kg of muscle on my body, he was unreal

you could see them doing it for each other too, very inspiring. They compete but also want each other to be as good as possible.

This is what Marines do. They get down in your face and do extras at your pace to keep you going. My son is a Marine and I have watched him do this many times. They will not give up on each other, and if someone is struggling, even if they are finished with their own set, they will jump right back in and do them with you til you finish. Poolee, RCT, or Marine, it's just what they do. Never quit! Magnus was a Beast! Well done!

magnus with chalk can beat khabib

Don't forget no shirt also!

Plus he defeated the biggest guy on the team in grappling 😲😲

maybe they feel a bit embarrassed. But they seemed really nice to me.

@@Philbobama oh yea? hey kwon what was your nickname in boot camp? lol

I was getting huge DI vibes from him😂

My SDI didnt give a fuck about us and we were his last cycle

Dirty delta

@@zombiegone79 Thats what makes GYSGT Torres a real one. He gave a damn about us.

For a first time thing its amazing

I'd love to see you try something like this with your more traditional background. Love your videos btw!!

@@megachoons Sounds fun!! Thank you 🙏

This needs too be a colab!

@Jessie Enkamp you here too? Might we one day see worlds collide in a collab with Magnus?

Surprised to see you here Jesse. Colab!?!?! it would be awesome to see that. Love your videos!

What makes his videos so special is that he’s not simply documenting stuff, he’s right in the middle. He goes agains the best of the best and stays humble. What’s not to like about him?

Thought so too, absolute top quality filming.

There is an idea, a short movie!!! That would be a good challenge for Magnus.

I know right. The quality of his channel is tremendeous. And it gets better and better each upload. Magnus is setting a new standard!

Cat Durrant The mark of a good instructor with no ego is to make you feel capable and challenge you. The mark of a good student is to realize that the instructor can destroy you in seconds, but that would teach nothing.

Fun fact in Norway Magnus has a BJJ instructor as a best friend and he also fights professionally. It helps with the taiedown and securing the standing choke. I was watching his sprawl and looking at how he used something similar to a thai plumb hold to keep the Marine from getting control. Magnus did like a week where they got to try each others discipline. But from how Magnus looked he look like he did more then one week training.

@@hr1meg Actually, Magnus showed a pretty good understanding of upperbody grappling and collar ties. He would definitely be a problem to anyone who isn't as strong.

dude just grapples with finger strength lmao

Grappling while wearing a vest vs. someone just in a T-Shirt is a significant disadvantage, as the opponent can use it like a Gi. Instructor didn't seem to take advantage of it, but it felt like he wasn't going hard, or underestimated Magnus at the start and couldn't get back in the game after.

Well yeah, they needed people who could form coherent sentences and look good on camera.

@@thomasbecker9676 they only needed one to form coherent sentences. The rest were picked with the intention of not letting Magnus whoop them on camera...which he did anyway hahaha

you realize you will truly never see these marines at their natural mindset to win on camera?! That's because you will never see the higher ranking marines scream and Put these intense marines on real life pressure just for little RU-vid views I am telling you this as a marine myself. It's way different for training without cameras no offense but a recruit can literally smoke this guy not because they are fitter but because they have something at stake getting fucked up by drill instructors

@@chinopopapill5848 Chill out. Just respect the effort everybody there put in. Magnus did great and the Marines in the video represented themselves and the organization well.

@@kft4764 I'm sorry I came out as aggressive .

Yeah but that guy was low key capping about the hardest pft. Army is about the same and I was a Corpsman and I was kind of worried. But I maxed out on sit-ups easier than I did for navy sit-ups and the pull-ups weren’t that hard. At the time I’d rather do pull-ups than push-ups. Then the run was twice the distance but you basically get the same time as you would if you ran a mile and a half just double that time. They being said the marine corps pft is still no easy task

Magnus was wearing a flak without sapi plates in it, so his vest was only about an extra 3-4 lbs. Still impressive though.

It's bullshit, this is coming from a marine.....it's cut throat just a bunch of ass kissers that throw you under the bus to get ahead. It's adult day Care. This is coming from a combat ribbon USMC SGT.

I was in the Air Force for 4 years and just got out recently. We don't get put through the wringer as hard as Marines but when you experience highly stressful situations and only have each other to lean on it really does foster deep bonds. I made friends in the military that I love like a second set of siblings. That's also why it's incredibly hard for some to transition to civilian life because it can feel like they just lost their identity. But it's something that never really goes away.
