Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey RU-vid channel!
My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my RU-vid channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

I really enjoyed this. Inventing fictional reasons to have to physically defend yourself is 80% of being an MMA bro. Wish they invented more fictional reasons to have to physically defend a trashy girlfriend though to round out the rest of the MMA bro experience.

Can I just say now that it's over. I want to see Icy Mike in literally every reality game show ever. Like, imagine him on the Bachelorette having literally no romantic interest in the woman, working off of pure competitive drive, and inexplicably making it into the final round because the producers won't let him leave the show because he's too entertaining. Great work with the show Rokas!

@markb6679 Год назад

Turn off your phone and computer and go and get some books. See if you can find out what the word "literally" means and how to correctly use it. Then, see if you can expand your vocabulary sufficiently that you are capable of adding emphasis without misusing the word "literally". If you do those things, you will find that educated adults are far more likely to take you seriously. I am assuming that you are above the age of eight. If you are not above the age of eight then just carry on as you are.

I am so proud of Mike man. Despite being small and kind of old, dude tried hard at every event and put his best foot forward and didn't make any excuses when he lost. And it showed that smaller guys can still have a decent chance in a scrap if they have some training. Also Jeff winning the whole thing despite being the 2nd smallest guy was impressive. Dude has mad skills.

Jeff is the official champion but everybody is a winner in this. Mayor kudos to Mike and Ramsey for being the most disadvantaged throughout ( Mike being so much smaller than everybody else and Ramsey detailed all the things he was dealing with in his videos) as well as being the oldest and doing so well against beasts like Jeff and Seth. Rokas should get a Most Improved Fighter award. He is low key a beast too. BTW Ramsey was on point as a judge so maybe he could be a judge next time. Finally, Jesse Enkamp's cameo was more epic than Marvel cameos! Awesome job Rokas!

Hey everyone! Season 1 of USDC was a blast and I am happy to announce that season 2 has been confirmed, with a new line of participants including a UFC fighter, Jesse Enkamp (Karate Nerd), Ranton (Shaolin disciple), Jordan Teaches BJJ, a pro basketball player and Jeff Chan will be making a return. But there is a catch. Season 2 has to be filmed much earlier than expected, since the whole facility is going to be demolished at the end of the year, and the only way to get enough finances by then is a crowdfunder. So if you want to make season 2 a reality, consider supporting the crowdfunder here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultimate-self-defense-championship-season-2/x/19198666#/

Regardless of the final scoreboard, all you guys are amazing for donating so much of your time and health to making this a reality. I think this series could seriously help educate A LOT of people on the reality of self defense. Making it a competition is thematically fun and made these super exciting to watch, but how much you've all done to further the discussion on what self-defense actually looks like is worth more than the belt IMO.

Rokas - I don’t know you, but I’m still VERY proud of you. You have come a LONG way since your early days of trying to get Aikido to work. Your YT channel is very-appropriately named, because you have been on quite a journey. I wish you all the best.

@itpugil Год назад

@@derekvandenburg6689 at close range especially on the clinch, KO punches are hard to generate. Plus he's good at that range and he moves alot. Without safety gear, either one of them can poke each other's eyes out, without safety gear he could pull that armbar quicker, without safety gear either one of them can knee each other in the nuts, so it doesn't matter. End of the day he won, and the "without gear" argument can only be speculated. If we're talking about weapons and stuff none of them would be awake, but again, its just speculation. Some of them proved that they can get things done in special situations.

@TheElbowMerchant Год назад

Dude, I am immeasurably excited to know that season 2 is happening! I've said this repeatedly since episode 2 of this season, this is the best event I've ever seen on RU-vid, by a very wide margin. I'm proud of all of the competitors, but Rokas in particular really earned everyone's respect by bringing home the bronze medal despite having been written off by the early poll results. Jeff Chan is a beast, Sensei Seth is fantastic, and Icy Mike is the most entertaining man in the self-defense community. I am bummed that Ramsay and Matt were unable to finish the competition, but they both proved their toughness and expertise throughout the challenge. I hope everyone heals up and continues to bring us top-tier content, and you all have found a fan for life in me, and undoubtedly many others.

Things i learnt watching the USDC : Sleep is good for your health. Never get caught fighting in tight spaces. Don’t fight against armed agressor(s). Don’t fight alone. Don’t date a drama queen (even on blind date), plus MJ can certainly kick your butt… Don’t take a shower in a detention facility. Use the restroom excuse if someone hit on you in inappropriate ways. Ceiling hanging zombie ambuscades can screw you over. “In theory i can kick your (beeeep) head”

Found this in a random reccomendation, really pleased I took the time to watch it. Looking forward to the next season :) . Great work everyone who organised the event, and the participants too

@kokioen Год назад

Such a great show, with really important information in it, can't wait for the next season. Good job to all the contestants, who fought tooth and nail for it, they could all be worthy winners. And good call on Ramsey's part in calling out, even if it must have really sucked for him. Mad respect.

can't wait for Season 02

@yellowrain2062 Год назад

This was a legitimately awesome series and I'm so glad that season 2 has been confirmed! I picked Jeff to win, but I think everyone really showed out and performed incredibly. So much heart and skill from everyone. Earned a sub for sure

@chriswatson3633 Год назад

What an outstanding show. It was informative and entertaining. I would liken this show to the first UFC. Where the UFC showed us what techniques/styles work one on one in a ring, this showed us what works in real life. I loved every minute of it and am looking forward to season 2. Great job everyone. I really think you all just made history by being the first group to do this. I'll I'll be contributing to the GoFundMe for sure to see season 2.

Icy Mike and Matt where the underdogs, which made people root for them a bit harder.... BUT its understandable that Rokas got upset by people disbelief in his skills, tho he downplays them VICIOUSLY!!!I actually learned A LOT from this series and can't thank you guys enough!

@kennethandrews6295 Год назад

This was great Rokas. Thanks so much for putting this together. Hopefully season 2 will be a reality.

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS! and the twist about a season 2 coming soon is awesome, can't be happier that the building is getting demolished, more for us. Rokas, you're an awesome human being, never change, buddy.

BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!! Loved every episode. Had no idea who would win. The challenges were fantastic. Cannot WAIT for season 2!!!

@MartialArtsJourney Год назад

Season 2 is confirmed with Jesse Enkamp, Ranton, Jordan Teaches Jiu Jitsu, a UFC fighter and a basketball player. But if season 2 will happen entirely depends on the crowdfunding which you can find here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultimate-self-defense-championship-season-2#/

Rokas, you've come a long way man. Your journey really should inspire many within TMA that want to transition. Phenomenal job man, honestly. Well deserved podium. Keep at it!

I haven't been excited about a series on RU-vid for YEARS and then THIS comes around. God y'all are freakin' cool and every single fighter's uniqueness is truly awesome to see

@gabrielemanderioli2113 Год назад

I think this series has been one of the most entertaining projects i've ever seen on RU-vid. It would be awesome to see a season 2 with some of these participants (such as Jeff, Seth, Mike and Rokas) and new ones such as Jesse (that teaser was fire) Great job everyone, you guys did bring an amazing light on martial arts

@martinseanhunt Год назад

This whole thing has been absolutely awesome, massive congrats to all the participants and anyone who contributed!

@blakemcmahan3960 Год назад

Bro Jeff is freaking incredible! I had him and Seth from the very beginning to win. He is just a different athlete and level. Everybody did incredible and it was so bizzarre. Good job to everyone! Good job producing this Rokas I looked forward to every episode! I would love to see an episode of bloopers

@nunyabidness3429 Год назад

BRAVO! Bravo to every contestant (and stand-in contestant), Bravo to the crew who helped put this together, Bravo to Rokas for dreaming this up, and BRAVO to anyone who supported this season. This was one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Maybe it's because I'm a fan of all of the people involved, but also just, just wow guys.

@tobiasberlin9298 Год назад

What a great show! The production and entertainment value is huge! Cant wait for season 2!

@vadimbobov4051 Год назад

the UFC fighter is Natan Levy btw not Wonderboy , him vs jeff wouldbe very interesting as well as his interactions with Jesse as both come from a traditional karate background. i think the Basketball player if he dosent have training will show how size and athleticism affects self defence which in terms of goal of the series would be useful as it displays how different people respond to self defence situations.

@vadimbobov4051 Год назад

@Pa Mu I agree itl be him vs Jeff most likely Jeff has the advantage of doing it again but levy is active should be interesting the other guys will mostly be for entertainment should be a fun watch!

@mxvrdahegaouwu7577 Год назад

@nicgrassl5218 Год назад

This whole series has been absolutely amazing! I grew up doing Tang Soo Do, and every summer we would have a 'Red Belt Camp.' All of the red and black belts would spend a long weekend camping and doing challenges very similar to what you showed in this series; it brought back a lot of fond memories. I can't wait for season 2. Excellent job!

@derpasaurus4979 Год назад

Great, an explosive finale! It was very entertaining to watch season 1, so I bet season 2 will be even better. Congrats to Jeff for winning, and its sad to see Matt and Ramsey couldn't compete but even so still very exciting.

@spacelord2234 Год назад
