The part where the kid said he was proudest when he stopped that bullies’ head from crashing to the floor… that’s called pure honor and discipline. We need this back in our society so badly.
@@LeeBo318 Where is this magical country where individual freedom is the greatest good? I sure would like to know.. I haven't found a developed country without laws limiting personal freedom where this intersects with 'public interest'. America, this that magical country? Nope, never was never will be. You're still limited in your precious freedom, you can't even drive a car without a seatbelt! If you don't pay taxes, you go to jail! Feel like running around naked in front of the local high school, good luck explaining your personal freedom to the judge slapping you with indecent exposure! Individual freedom is NOT so precious it outweighs public interest, not even in the most 'magically free' country in the world.
Im 27, I grew up without a father. This video has me sitting at my desk in tears. Today was a very hard day for me emotionally, and this video was a big warm hug. Its hard growing up without the guidance from a father. Ive always suppressed my emotions, because that's what I thought men were supposed to do. I never had anyone in my life to tell me "Its okay to cry. Let it out. Feel and process your emotions." But as I get older, I realize more and more that its okay to just cry sometimes. Its okay to let your emotions hit you like a train sometimes, so long as you pick your head up, keep pushing forward and live to fight another day. If this man ever reads these comments, I just want to say thank you. To Joe Rogan as well, thank you for having him on. These public figures don't really understand how much they truly effect us random internet beings. We're real people, and we hear you, and we thank you. Mens/boys mental health is a conversation that's been put on the back burner for a long time, and I think its time to change that. To anyone else out there having a rough day/week/month/year today, male or female, know that we're in this together. We got this
*"The goal is not for you to be the best, the goal is for you to learn."* I wish we adopted this type of attitude in our educational system... I think it would have helped alot of kids, myself included.
thats true i would never ask my kid to be the best at his class as it only mean that i want the other kids to be under him and thats a wrong way of living .
same. i had a hard time focusing on school work when i was a kid, it made me think i was dumb until i got older and you realize that you can do whatever you want.
@@MarkHicks326 thanks man, we are cool 😎 🤙 but the wisdom implication stems from the fact that they're both men who have grown old enough to have gone bald, thus collecting wisdom along that timeline.
Wait! Did he just say that students in his Academy improve their Academic performance by a letter grade without tutoring? Let that sink in. That’s amazing! He has every right to have the most pride in that statistic alone
just speculation but i believe if you can provide outlets to deal with stress and difficult emotions, it opens up more constructive thought patterns. I mean if they're actively going to school, they probably have some of that knowledge somewhere. This imo just causes you to be able to think critically and rationally more often under stress.
I would push back on that it is absolutely true, Although it is true you should not view it as bad or you'll become angry that you are angry. I find that the intense emotion itself is only useful in short bursts to protect yourself in situations where you are being transgressed upon. The emotion stems either from jealousy (when you are concerned about what is fair or doesn't line up with your ideal outcome) or surprise (your expectations are not met), it must be understood or it will build and cause you to act irrationally. There is a reason the word mad is synonymous with insanity. It is difficult for many to let go of anger because of attachment to the feeling, a belief that it is a source of power, a belief that it is who you are, a belief that it is unfair for you to forgive for a transgression or a fear that without it you will be taken advantage of (i.e. it is better to be pissed off than pissed on) I would claim the opposite in that there is immense power in peace and you are a slave to that which makes you angry.
@@breezyx976 That would be very ironic being that proneness to anger is more feminine than masculine. Carelessness would be the more inherently masculine trait.
I couldn't agree more with him when he said that! I've said for years that I think anger can actually be a good thing but that it all depends on how you use it and if you harness it constructively towards achieving positive ends. I love watching the Jocko Willink podcast but I remember when Jocko and his good friend Leif Babin(another former Navy SEAL)were talking about how there's no useful benefit from anger or something along those lines and I just had to respectfully disagree because like I said before,I think it's all in how you use the anger and what you direct it towards.If it were true that there's nothing good that comes from anger,slavery never would have been abolished,the Civil Rights movement wouldn't have succeeded,women wouldn't have gotten the right to vote and so on and so forth(there were other factors at play in those specific situations,too but one key thing that stood out was how angry people were at what was happening and how that anger helped create positive and lasting change). Anger can absolutely be a good thing! I feel like anger and regret are two of the main things that drive me to want to do great things with and in my life. I love quoting the line from the movie Blade:Trinity when Blade(Wesley Snipes)tells Abigail Whistler(Jessica Biel)to use her anger and he says ''USE IT!'' So many people would be better off if they realized that anger isn't bad and if they used their anger in a positive and constructive way.
@@JR-ju3kj Anger in essence is neither good nor bad since it is an abstract (there is no weight or size of anger and it is based on judgement which is mostly subjective). In it's excess it can cloud your mind. I would somewhat agree with what you posit with a clarification that you should change your anger to desire (which is why I stated that you should understand your anger) that way you can plan and execute rather than expending excess energy or act irrationally which would be counter productive to your goals. Desires are only useful if they are actionable as desires without action breed pestilence. I would agree with Jocko a little more on this since he comes from a stoic background, I am partial to that especially Seneca. I used to train salesmen and many would disagree with me on the utility of anger, they often would misinterpret my words to mean inaction to which I would just point at the sales board at my numbers which would in turn make them angry.
I'm from Detroit and he's right those men ( yes all races, especially in the low income poverty stricken areas) needed love, most don't have father's and turned to the streets but when someone takes the time to mentor them most turn out to become better citizens because they have a different outlook and perspective on life!
Fathers are just as important as mothers. Mothers are more important in the early ages when children need nurturing and fathers are more important in adolescent and teenage years when they need discipline and guidance.
Kids without fathers turn to worldstarhiphop... watch the types on there, that is what controls a lot of black youth (and poor latino, white men also). The gangs take over for fathers, when women fail to find and create with only good men with morals.
Former local Detroiter here too. I was lucky enough to grow up on a block with healthy families all around me and would challenge me and Discipline me. Because of these great people I never turned to gangs. They tried hard to pull me in though and I came close many times. I've even done a lot of stupid things I deeply regret. But I'm a grown man now and father and in a much better place in life then I've ever been. I owe a lot to my neighbors and Mother
Listened to this episode on Spotify today while driving my rig.... 1st time I've cried in a long LONG time. God has laid his hands on this mans shoulders.
Far from a normal radio/podcast conversation. Joe is allowing himself not to be the star of the show or know more than him. Not the case for most hosts. Don’t you get out much?
Brought tears to my eyes. Men around the world shown to stand tall and be tough. Can be worse. That's all I've know. And now that I'm going thru the worst pain in my life i don't know how to function emotionally. Letting out a huge cry does more wonders then you would think.
I remember when I was in first grade in my Kung fu class. I just started crying for no reason. My teacher mr lamb held me and carried me around for 15 minutes saying everything is gonna be OK, he held me for longer than my dad ever had. I will always appreciate that.
My dads always working and he never gets a chance to talk to me about anything. I’m 17 years old and I’ve taught myself how to shave, how to drive a manual car, how to just be a man in general. All my dad does is go to work and come back. Never talks to me. Never asked me if I want to go out somewhere with him. Never took me fishing, hunting, to play ball outside. Never taught me how to talk to girls. None of that. And I feel that it really has had a profound effect on me and how I’ve grown up with really bad social anxiety and depression. Every boy needs someone to guide them through life and when they don’t have that they’re life becomes harder.
what i learned as i got older is that your father is just a person. He isn't perfect, or a hero like you once thought as a child. he's human. he has his own set of insecurities, failures, anxiety's, etc. there are things that keep him up at night, like horribly embarrassing memories he wishes he could forget. the best thing you can do is have compassion, and be thankful you have a father who is working and supporting the family. relationships go both ways. confront him and ask him to hang out! also, taking responsibility for your own life is very liberating. good luck
That is a very unfortunate circumstance my man. I’m sure he does what he does thinking it provides for you and is what’s best for you. Maybe try and talk to him about it when the chance arises? Outside of that, I’d say keep researching great men and learning from them. The internet is your ally this day in age! Wishing you nothing but the best 🤙
Man, listening to this made me tear up because I've held so much in for so long but with threapy and allowing myself to be more emotionally free. I feel so much better and happier.
One of my first mentors was my martial arts instructor. 6 foot tall Native American man, rode Harley motorcycles and wrote/illustrated children's books. He was a gentle, kind but stern instructor. I think martial arts discipline is so important for young men, young women too or course, but I think young men really need it. But the kindness that our instructor showed transcended this discipline into a nurturing love.
Can't imagine how different I'd be if I was taught to release those traumas instead of bottling. Those boys are very fortunate, great choice for a guest Joe 👍🏿
I think this is my favorite episode so far. This is one of the kindest, wisest human beings today. I had to hold back tears through much of this. Didnt take long to understand why I liked him so much...his wife's name is Nicole and he is a believer in Christ. There's not many people I care to meet in life but he is one of them.
God damn!!!!! Whenever I read a great quote from a video in the comment section after I finish reading immediately that quote starts from video!!! Same happened with your comment!
@@leonsandcastle2305 sorry to hear, to add our criminal justice system also only shows discipline and not enough love and redemption, which only increases the problem. There needs to be punishment for bad behavior but we go about it in such a destructive way.
@ there is nothing wrong with a man having a feminine side to them. Women are VERY strong, we don’t need men & never have. Many men are this way, but dare not admit it bc people like you will judge them.
I have the ultimate privilege of having a present father who loved me. He is not perfect, but he tells me he is proud. He regularly hugs me. Set me up for emotional/psychological confidence. Men must commit to doing this for the next generation.
I listened to a podcast called crimetown and when one of the crime bosses was asked how to get young men to commit crimes for him he responded “oh it’s easy, just find kids without fathers and be a father figure to them. They’ll do anything for you.”
@@migueltigrelazo not only am I liberal racist, but I'm also a transgender Christian, who is pro life, love guns and am pretty positive global warming is bullshit, I do identify as a coster. So please bring a drink or table the next you decide to get on all 4s for me, loser.
@@migueltigrelazo and your name is miguel..... your missing the point of this video and celebrating your ignorance and this "all or nothing thinking" stay thirsty my friend
Oh yeah for sure man!!! That’s the direction we’ve been trying to move since the civil rights unrest have been around. Everything just takes time /: hahaha. I’ll play my part if you play yours ;))
I meet a lot of young men who give me a great deal of hope for the future, but we're not done. We do need better men and those of us who are grown need to play our part to make sure that happens
I’m so glad this comment exist. I’m only 23 and still finding my way. I believe we also need to hold our friends accountable as well. I have faith in what we are doing and have hope that we can be leaders too. Godbless
@@smeech5177 For sure dude I'm 26 almost 27 and while I have some direction in my life and I have an idea of what I want to chase professionally, but I got no clue if it will be as satisfying as I hope it is and I think being honest about the fact that we dont always have shit figured out is a great starting point for creating healthier people.
I grew up rough in the bronx (1970s and 80s), rikers island, etc. I taught my son to box as soon as he could walk. His mother taught him to be a sweet sensitive boy. Today he is 20, and has the conference to be himself and fear no bullies. He is a better man than i ever was. Live for your kids folks.
For anyone who has not seen the original video, you need to go watch it. This guy is amazing! If I had someone like this guiding me at that age I would be a much better version of myself today.
Can't wait to watch this whole episode. I'm born and raised in Detroit also. Thank you for doing something in our city. I love my home town and It warms my heart watch and seeing great people try to life our city. Not all is bad in Detroit. Their are a lot of great people in the City. Blesses you Sir
If you guys don’t watch the full podcast on Spotify you’re going to miss something that might help you the rest of your life, put the ego to the side and do yourselves a big service that might help you and your loved ones.
when he said the doctor was talking to him about being suicidal & Jason asked if he talked to anyone. he says 'yeah they all say i have others to live for. well what about me" & jason says "Youre right, YOU'RE worth living" i started balling my eyes out & felt this huge weight lifted from my chest & shoulders. those words freed me from the shackles around my heart that were weighing me down periodically.
I was literally mentioning this to my wife this morning. I've never had a positive male role model nor mentor. And how now I feel I'm struggling as an adult.

Bro, just look up for masculinity and don't let female sensitivity take over your brain and you will be tough man. I know nowadays most men have some feminine side that is why.
@ When a man embraces their feminine side whole heartedly and consolidates their biases and preconceived notions past any overt or subtle misogyny, they become stronger braver and more balanced. Being in tune with your emotional state and understanding it enough to excercise your "emotional body" and intelligence with the same vigor that a martial artist hones their physical body and mind, wars are won or dissolved before they get a chance to begin.
This cat LITERALLY JUST SAVED MY LIFE 3 DAYS AGO!! Suicide "your not tired of living, your tired of not living" ... Search that on here if you're going through the darkness and release the pain 🙏
WOW, we need WAY more men like this to be instructing our youth. I wish I had a mentor like this when I was a teenager... a man who uses REAL truth to prepare his students for life. I really love his philosophy and principles not just when it comes to training in martial arts but also in all the peripherals of what a young martial artist needs in order to grow as good human being who is trying to be better every day in multiple aspects. Very impressed with the quality of this mans character.
This man is so great. Some of his videos made me cry and I’m a grown ass man. I’ll ask my father and my mother at a young age and this was really powerful.
Everyone in this country really needs to listen to & learn from this man! Joe, excellent choice in bringing him on, I hope this man’s words start to spread!
Im about halfway through this episode. Totally blown away. This man is one of the most sincere guests I've ever heard on JRE. Jason is speaking a message society needs right now. What a kind, compassionate, empathetic, imperfect, real human being. Not ashamed to admit i was in tears at numerous points throughout the talk. Jason, keep doing what your doing. You've got a gift
What a blessing to this world and the lives of those boys. I just discovered his videos recently and was totally blown away at how he tied a Christian way of life into martial arts. A lot of those kids are more mature than most adults. God bless you sir. Glad you mentioned Christ in the interview because I know He’s the foundation of your training and without Him and the Holy Spirit there wouldn’t be any transformation. If I didn’t live 1,500 miles away my son would be on that waiting list.
He has the first level 10 bald head I've ever seen... the shape, the sheen, the character.... it's all you could ask for in the perfect bald head. I can't even tell if he's ever had hair on his head. It's glorious 10/10 keep up the good work. We need more people like you in the world
IM LOST FOR WORDS EXCEPT THANK YOU. I have listened to thousands of hours of rogan and others podcast and this one by far HIT ME IN THE HEART. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow!
Joe you have out done your self this is truly a man of vision and compassion I wish I would have had a father like him I would definitely be a better man Jason thanks for sharing your gift
This bring back memories of me begging my broke parents to get me into karate lessons back in the 90’s and being heartbroken when we couldn’t afford them…
I started senior school at 12 and had a fight with the 15yr old school bully, beat him up. Suddenly kids from other schools kept coming to my school to fight me and the anxiety of it was horrible never knowing who was waiting for me, I wish I'd lost. I wanted to go to karate to become invincible and the kid I beat up was helping teach the class as a brown belt.... I didn't go back again, karate is useless
I never got a beating or a lecture by my dad, instead he sat me down & made me self evaluate my behavior by asking questions to where I disciplined myself. I miss those days & I miss him R.I.P P
I listen to your podcasts while I'm at work. I admit #1692 was a bit of a challenge, not because Jason was challenging me but I was challenging myself to learn from all the things this man was saying. Jason so casually says things I felt ashamed I should have already known but just hadn't encountered.
Jason literally had me in tears when I heard him speak. It’s comforting to hear someone with compassion for fellow man on such a positive level. Life can be overwhelming, and it’s good to know there are legends like these guys to shed some light on the matter.
Worth to watch this gentleman I saw his video so many times I never thought joe would bring him on the show but he actually did 😎 Thanks Joe and Jamie for this great Guest
So glad to see Mr. Wilson on the podcast. He is absolutely one of those rare, golden few cut from a different cloth, utterly committed to doing the work whether or not he gets a round of applause for it. May he get all the credit he is due!
I live in Michigan, and a few years back I bought a beautiful djembe drum from man. He told me he taught kids martial arts and sometimes they would play in drum circles as well. We spoke about the types of martial arts we each practiced, and he gave me his card before we parted ways. His name was Jason Wilson.
This was/is a powerful podcast to me. It totally changed my mindset and I realized so many things. I shared it with about 10 people in my close circle. Thank you so much. So inspiring.
This man Jason is soo beautiful, and it's exactly what men need, I cried twice watching him, it's just his voice and everything is soo calming. How amazing is my Lord that creates such beauty. May God bless you Jason
