Kungfu vs MMA: instant KO. Why does this keep happening in China? 

I have watched Ramsey since 2019 or 2020. Stop watching this video guys! He got more content im his channel! Waay better videos that informative! Don't stop or just repeat watch here.

The Kung Fu Guy is like a video gamer who destroys the AI for years then hops onto a PvP server for the first time.

You've all got it wrong. The actual Tyson quote is: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the fathe"

this mans voice is so deep he can communicate with whales

""How long will this keep happening." Beatings will continue until common sense improves.

"A punch to the face might knock you out but it will eventually wake you up to the reality." This will be in a book someday.

The kung fu master tricked the the fighter into indulging in victory while he basked in the glory of the subconscious.

I see a lot of parallels here with other aspects of life. In the same way that traditional martial artists who feel confident in their years of traditional training are awakened to reality when they finally get in a real fight, many students who feel like their diplomas and decrees will protect them in the real world are awakened by a labor market that values skills over theory.

Back in highschool two kids hit into a fight. One was a karate black belt that had been in tournaments and the other had been in high school wrestling. When ever the karate kid would get knocked on his back side he would exclaimed that it was cheating and not allowed. The karate kid got hurt pretty bad. Now it all makes Sense.

Its because as kids they were never forced to paint the fence or wax the car.

Imagine the awkward silence when he walks back into the dojo

There is a huge difference between knowing technique and knowing how to deploy known technique in live-action live speed situations. Practice matters. Experience matters. These guys all think that can be like Bruce Lee but they have no idea what he truly did in creating the Jeet Kune Do.

"New humans keep coming and forgetting the seasons from the old ones" That pretty much explains every single world issue we have ever had throughout history. Powerful and wise words.

Yo this man voice sounds like he knows the secrets of the universe. Lol

"A punch in the face might knock you out, but eventually, it will wake you up" - Ramsey Dewey (Wisened Martial Arts Sage 1268)

This man not only is a professional fighter, but he has harnessed the power of the thu’um.

The anxiety of getting hurt, the anxiety of hurting someone else on top of all the complexity of fighting, honestly I don't know how pro fighters do it.

That man's voice made me a stronger man just by listening to it

"That punch in the face might knock you out but it'll wake you up" -ramsey dewey Damn that's some hard truth

I have a traditional martial arts school and this is the hardest and most real truth I have yet heard. Traditional martial artists biggest problem is they very rarely get hit and very seldom actually punches a human body. Brilliant video.

Ramsey, I just want you to know that this video changed my life! It came across my feed shortly after it came out, so I went and watched UFC1 right after. Immediately, I left my traditional martial arts behind and as soon as lockdown restrictions lifted I joined Muay Thai and BJJ. Thank you so much for your content!

I feel bad for Kung-Fu guy because he just had his entire world view burned to the ground in less than a second.

"In a contest of reality, the reality based martial artist is going to win." Couldn't have said it any clearer.

The ref stands up and says “DRAW!”

The majority (98%) of folks overestimate their ability when it comes to fighting

The Kung fu guy was taking Bruce Lee's advice and being "like water". So he became a puddle.

Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Even just attending a competition is a whole different experience than regular practice. I did TKD and when I stood against an unknown opponent for the first time, the fight was over before I even realized what happened. The stress is infinitely greater than sparring vs. a buddy.

All I ever needed to know about Fighting, I Learned from Watching The TV Kung Fu Series...😜

Martial arts without contact sparing is just learning a complex dance.

I knew I made the right decision when I gave up Kung Fu to play the guitar.

For every real Kung fu master there’s literally thousands of fakers out there playing around in their pajamas. That’s why this is happening

I always wanted to know how they feel after😂😂😂. Cuz they swear they’re arts is “too deadly for martial arts”

That punch was brutal. Even my grandmother was yelling, "PROTECT YOUR CHIN!", and she's been dead since 1992. ;-)

Good to know if we ever lose Morgan Freeman, we have this guy to narrate everything.

I'm old enough to remember when the first Kung Fu movies came out and a lot of American kids immediately wanted to emulate those actors . A good friend of mine signed up at one of the various Kung Fu schools springing up across America and headed by a "master" / pick the name of your choice . Being a golden gloves boxer who was also training in Hwa Rang Do was a magnet for being challenged by Kung Fu guys . They lasted 10 seconds maximum . Good video and necessary . Thanks Mr. Dewey

My evil first thought when you said "annnd." then he went down was "And he's dead!"

Nice try Agent 47, what have you done to Ramsey?

he used his face to block the punch, genius!

Exactly...its what I’ve always said, there’s a Hugh difference between a MMA experienced fighter and someone taught in a dojo...I once spared with a brown belt in judo, I beat him in less than a minute, he never challenged or bothered me again...

I have no idea why this video was recommended to me. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and this guys voice is epic :)

Bruce lee said this type of fighting isnt ideal for combat in real life and back then his own people mocked him but little did they know he was light years ahead of his time.

I remember asking a dude that was all kitted out in kung fu stuff if he wanted to spar for a few rounds. I had been working on the heavy bag and he was training some guy. He said that he was unable to fight me without killing me. 😂

Kung fu executed by legitimate fighters is actually quite interesting to watch, it is extremely rare but it's seen sometimes.

I call the delusion "The Martial Matrix". So many people would rather stay inside it and do everything they can to maintain the illusion, like not sparring, or convincing themselves their art is too deadly for MMA etc. because the reality that they've wasted their time learning something that doesn't work is just too painful.

Everything I learned from 80s karate movies was a lie.

I can't concentrate on what you're saying because your voice is so incredible.

I really appreciate you noting actual Kung Fu fighters exist. Every traditional MA that I've seen that actually focuses on fighting has a huge focus on protecting your centre. None of these stage kung fu guys in these challenges show any signs of even knowing the concept of centre. In a style I trained when I was younger we had hard contact sparring, many hand techniques were very similar to boxing (there are only so many ways you can throw an efficient punch, main difference was there were additional techniques that would be illegal in boxing) and the focus of all of the techniques was in keeping yourself protected (hands up etc.). I know one of the practitioners went to some local mma fights, but he was told he could only represent himself, not the school, since the style was not meant for competition. He also trained BJJ so that's what was listed as his martial art (traditionally in the battlefield the idea that someone would willingly go to the ground to wrestle is ludicrous, but it's extremely efficient in 1v1 fight as MMA has shown us). This is not meant to say kung fu is superior in any way or anything. I'm just saying there are kung fu styles that teach actual combat as it was trained traditionally for keeping yourself alive in a fight. Those schools are just much rarer, than the health meditation or acrobatics schools with some exercises from martial arts. It also naturally takes longer to be able to handle yourself in a competition fight since they are not focusing on what works in a specific set of rules

Big respect to that guy exposing fake bs artists that make money fooling people.

When I was 12, one of my friends had a brother who was really, really good at Taekwondo - an actual instructor, rather than just some kid taking lessons. He could do so, so many amazing things with his body. Beautiful katas, amazing feats...just astounding. Another friend had an older brother who boxed three-to-five days a week at the local YMCA. He was decent. As an amateur local boxer, he one a few and lost a few. Never a champion, but still showed good footwork, head movement, ring awareness, and hand speed. The Taekwondo guy took part in full-contact tournaments, but the rules had him wearing headgear, thick padded belts, gloves, padded slippers, etc. He never felt the need to actually fight, and avoided them out of respect for the damage he could do to his opponent. The boxer boxed. He was also a "scrapper", meaning he'd constantly get into fights at school, after school, and everywhere else. Through a series of manipulations of their "followers", both young men decided to finally have a match - Taekwondo vs Boxing. It was talked about for weeks - two "amazing fighters" showing just how dominant a boxer or a taekwondo 3rd-degree black-belt could be. More than personal pride was on the line, and the taekwondo guy had plenty of personal pride to go around. The fight was so well-hyped that they had been warned by the YMCA folks not to have it anywhere near their site. Same with every other business. No one wanted a couple hundred (yes, that many) people getting lathered up in a frenzy over the ultimate bragging rights of a particular fighting discipline. Understand that this was before modern MMA. No UFC, no Vale Tudo (it was still underground and absolutely not televised), no shoot-fighting, nothing. All we had were bad Kung Fu Theater flicks and cheesy 80's action. Early-mid-80s, when Chuck Norris was finishing his dark phase and entering his American Hero phase. When it finally happened, out at some abandoned rock quarry in the sticks, some 200 people got to watch three fights: A brawl between two "tough guy" bully-types, which ended with them rolling around and smacking each other's heads into the rocky ground. A laughable warmup "fight" between two local Karate students (before Kenpo became popular, these guys never did anything with full contact without pads) where they mostly bored us all to death. Then the fight. THE fight. The buildup was killing us. Both dudes met in the middle, separated, and assumed their stance. The Taekwando instructor bounced around a bit, flailed his lead leg around in a little circle, closed, and threw a really sharp axe kick. The boxer neatly stepped to the side and countered with a right cross. Taekwando dude was down instantly, but bounced right back up. Now shaken and wary, he kept his distance. Boxer moved in, circled a bit, led with the jab a couple times, feinted backwards to draw a strike. TKD dude took the bait with a forward thrust kick (a strong thrust, rather than a teep). Boxer pivoted, rocked in, and landed a vicious hook to the temple. TKD was down again, where he stayed. Years later, I asked my buddy - TKD's little brother - what happened. We were all so enamored with his brother's abilities, it was just a shock to us. He said "Yeah, he never got hit before, and never once had to deal with anyone that could punch from an angle." It turned out that the first hit scared the shit out of him, and after that he didn't have a clue as to what to do. The boxer was just too fast, knew how to move his feet, knew how to move his hips and shoulders, knew how to react to a strike, and kept his footing on the uneven rocky ground. And he'd been punched many times before, so he wasn't afraid of it. The TKD dude simply had none of that. It was all sparring. Even the tournaments were just glorified sparring. Fact is, there's martial arts and there's combat sports. Martial arts are great - amazing, valuable arts. Good for the mind, body, and even soul. Combat sports take what you learn in martial arts, throws it to the mat, and chokes it out. It's night and day. It's black and white. It's yin and yang. My first time actually in a fight, all that kata stuff and all the forms just disappeared. I didn't have MMA-style training at the time, or any real combat sports. All my karate went right out the window. I "won", but only by putting the guy on his back and elbowing him in the head until his "friends" pulled me off. That, mixed with what I saw that day as a kid, showed me just how far my karate had gotten me. Which is to say, it kept me disciplined and fit, but it didn't help me one bit in a fight.

I'm so proud of Johnny sins getting out of the industry and being a mma commentator on youtube

The problem is Kung Fu in China with many schools has become a performance art and dance. Movies haven't helped. They foster the idea of silly moves as real fighting.

How stupid is it for someone who has NEVER been in an actual fight, to accept or invite someone who fights as a profession to a fight.

"That punch might knock ypu out but eventually its gonna wake you up" coldest line ive heard in a while

I didn't know Lex Luthor had a RU-vid channel.

The worst part is, he just picked up his Kung fu costume from the dry cleaners

They really sent someone's grandpa in there against a boxer.

"New humans keep coming in and forgetting the lessons of the old ones." Now that is a strong quote.

Imagine swinging a racket in your room / dojo for years, with all sorts of elaborate moves to make the swing look cooler, and then suddenly you're on a tennis court, playing against a tennis player who's been doing it for years and you've never even hit a ball with your racket once.

Well, I personally have only competed in novice / amateur level in kyokushin karate, kickboxing and kempo. Yet I can tell you that even if you do sparring regularly in a dojo, it's totally different to stepping on the mat. When I got knocked out the second time, I didn't even realise until after it happened and took me a while to reconstruct what happened. I continue training traditional martial arts, I just have no illusions:).

I’m not a trained fighter of any kind but from what I’ve seen, traditional martial artists tend to fare very well against your average Joe with no training, but fare very poorly against actual trained fighters.

He just went into the stance of the sleeping tiger common misunderstanding.

Ramsey can you please say : “To infinity and beyond” ? Lol

Great voice. Capitalize on that! “Doing hard things is hard.” Classic.

If I thought that defending myself was a priority in day to day life I would study boxing. If I want to learn mind , body discipline for health... then martial arts . I don't think anything is more effective these days than MMA for real protection!

Somewhere there's a jealous Morgan Freeman listening to this.

They don’t spar with people, remember what Bruce Lee said “boards don’t hit back”

I once saw a black belt kickboxer who had done very well in several semi-contact tournaments. Anyway, he gets his nose bust open and essentially goes into shock. Totally unable to walk, talk or function. He wasn't knocked out at all, just quite badly hurt, but the reaction was quite shocking. But I guess none of us no how we react until it happens. Luckily I have had a few good shots in my face a head and been knocked out twice, so I am pleased I didn't go into medical shock and continued to fight, well once I stood up again.

Ramsey: let's watch that again. Fair enough, watching a single punch doesn't take long.

Bruce Lee himself said that traditional martial arts are useless in a real fight. That is why he went on to adapt several disciplines and make JKD mindset. The Gracies didn't experience defeat until Sukaraba humbled them all. "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" -Mike Tyson

I'm not a martial artist I am a musician This phenomenon is also present in music and musicians You've got players who practice in their basement all their lives But cannot play in a band or in an ensemble......

these old dilutional "kung fu masters" are challenging serious mma fighters 🤣🤣

I am 67yrs old and have been training and later teaching martial arts since I was 14 yrs old. Wing Chun, TKD, Judo and boxing are the arts I have studied. I have watched the birth and growth of MMA and have to say I love it. If there was a better way of fighting within MMA rules the pro's would have worked it out! The major difference between MMA and the rest, except of course boxing and Thai boxing is that the MMA athletes train taking full contact blows when sparing. This is a bloody major difference as if you are not used to this then you are going to be stunned and confused for a split second and that is all these guys need to knock you out. I respect all martial arts and believe they build good character, teach kids self-discipline etc but when it comes to real fighting. in my humble opinion, MMA guys and gals take the biscuit! By the way Mr Dewey, I love your channel and always come away from watching them feeling I have learned something.

Everyone: Never block with your face! Kung Fu "Master": Hold my 酒!

Its quite easy : They never Fight to learn Fighting, they just "Stage" Fight with submissive Students...then they start to believe, they have Supernatural Powers...

I like your clear definition and clear distinction, Master Dewey: it's a NON-fighter against a fighter; not an style against the other.

Those people who learn it legitimately are hardened beyond understanding. They're not the ones breaking "steel" with their heads but the ones that nobody talks about .

“Hard work is hard” that really sounds like a line from a master training a student

This guy had a radio voice. He should do books on tape or something. Seriously.

" Boards Don't Hit Back " - Bruce Lee 'Enter The Dragon' Minute 7:17

Ramsey: 2:26 lets watch that again... Me: Hell yeah!

i really appreciate your emphasis on the distinction of fighter vs. non-fighter. not many people make that point and just say all these other martial arts are "fake" martial arts, which is a little inflammatory and insulting, and misses the real point. so thank you for that important distinction.

The clothes restricted his movement. #nogi

Ramsey doesnt fight his opponents. He simply talks until they are subdued by his velvet like voice. The art of fighting without fighting.

It's the difference from someone who just practices forms and someone who actually spars.

I imagine this voice narrating wild life documentary film: *deep down in the savanna, a young cheetah tries her first hunt*

I will always remember the first and last day I tried to learn a traditional martial art. I don't remember what jitsu or jutsu it was trying to be, but it was one of these show off movie popculture ones. This happened as I was a young teen. Basically on the first day, the instructor was "showing off", and asked for a volunteer, so I volunteered. It was the typical "now try to punch me", to show a defensive technique. Apparently I made a mistake and actually threw a quick jab at his chest like I would if he was some dude trying to harass my girl. The punch landed on his chest, and after the initial shock he angrily grunted "you weren't supposed to actually hit me". So yeah that told me all I had to know about how well my time and money would be spent "learning from this master" that couldn't use his own technique to block a punch he knew was coming for his chest, just because it was too fast and not aimed to hit the air in front of his chest.

Your voice is hypnotizing. I wish you could narrate my life.

Got this video on the algorithm just now, love it! My disabled mother on a fixed income was ripped off by a mcdojo when I was 8, this was 1979, she took me out of it after the 3rd picture time "grift", I got good punching air and holding weapons wearing a white belt getting my picture taken. It angers me now, I could be a great fighter if only they hadn't been scammers, for my LIFETIME loss.

“A punch to the face may knock you out but eventually it will wake you up.” -Ramsey Dewey

"new humans keep coming in and forgetting the lessons of the old ones".....love this comment.

That was probably the first real punch that the Kung Fu guy ever received.

Its not that they are all "fake kungfu masters", it's that even the most legit of "kungfu masters" dont normally spar effectively.

A punch in the face will knock you out but wake you to reality...that's not a metaphor that's just real! Ramsey 's fighting iq,It's over 9000!!!

YES!! Finally someone gets it. It's not that MMA the most amazing thing ever, it's that if all you've ever done is practice your one specialized martial art within your closed box of a gym, dojo, school, etc you literally have no idea what will be thrown at you when facing against a Mixed Martial Artist. All they have ever done is read, react, and counter techniques within their own repertoire of move sets. Therefore when something out of that possibility is thrown at them, there is no reading or reacting, just panic and confusion.

I always say, "there's a reason these martial arts exist, they were useful at one point. The problem is that people don't train them TO BE USED anymore."

Honestly, as a 14 year martial artist/martial melee weapons expert, i think It's because traditional Chinese martial arts doesn't have full contact sparring sessions for the advanced practitioners. Almost anyone can be taught the form, techniques, and tactical thinking strategies of any martial art. The issue is age old. "Have you actually FOUGHT a random person using this method?" Also, try to remember that MMA stands for mixed martial arts. This means MANY principles and techniques of traditional martial arts has been incorporated into modern day MMA. The idea being that while multiplication is fine and works better now, it couldn't exist without basic addition. It requires it to function. I'd LOVE to see traditional martial arts of ALL kinds have an active sparring sessions class.

People since the dawn of time have thought "I could kick your ass" and have been proven wrong. That's why this happens.

"New humans keep coming in and forgetting the lessons of the old ones"

The difference between contact and no contact in a nutshell.... These guys are invited to be embarrassed.
