Serious answers to stupid MMA questions 

Yes. The self defense industry is a definite scam. I have changed the way I explain my Kickboxing/MMA club as a direct result of listening to you. I once thought i taught self defense especially, when I was a Hapkido instructor, but I really didn’t even then. So nowadays when asked,“ I heard that training at your club is very good for self defense. Can I come and train with you all?” I respond by saying, “We don’t teach self defense. We move toward our opponent, not away. We train to engage. We teach fighting skills, we lift weights, stretch, and work on endurance, to make you a better fighter. These skill sets may have some self defense applications, but they are not self defense. It is offense. It is training to fight. Is that what you want? Answers vary. Thanks for the video.

"you haven't even sparred and you been asked to be an instrutor? Now, this isn't a stupid question, this is a stupid situation". -Dewey, Ramsey.

What would you do if your opponent doesn’t have a head? 🤔 “You need a plan B” ah makes sense! “Like punch him in the face” hollup 😂😂

Vega is the best SF character by a long shot. Either he's the only guy allowed to wear face protection and and a weapon in an unarmed fighting tournament, or he's the only guy that studied the rules and took advantage of them, so he's a real crafty fighter that would make all the "he attacked during the fist bump, he's not a real warrior" crowd mad.

The Bruce Banner/Hulk question is actually a very interesting one, if people figure out a legal way to quickly gain lots of muscle mass after the weigh-ins I bet everybody would use it.

I had my first MMA class yesterday and the instructor had to call out last minute which I did not know before I got there. Basically the highest level guy there was a blue belt who asked me to spar with him and then took it so easy on me he did exactly what he should’ve done and pulled all his punches, and simply helped me learn how to keep my hands up and do good combos.

It was alarming how quickly you thought of Chinese horse wrestling, coach. That’s some deep martial arts lore right there.

we need more of these silly questions videos. many of these turned out to be tremendously insightful

Thank you! I appreciate the candid, serious answer. My passion is truly in martial arts rather than women's self-defense. I'm a former Capoeira gal, having trained for seven years, and a current martial arts nerd. I ditched my gym last week, after asking my stupid question on your channel, and tried out BJJ... it was an absolute blast! I got out there and trained ;)

Great video! I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree about Buzz versus Woody though, most of Woody's body is fabric which has been shown to rip pretty easily and Buzz submitted Woody under the van in the first movie fairly easily. File this under stupid rebuttals to serious answers to stupid questions 🤣

That Balmora background is cool. Nothing else to add, now I get back to the video. Btw, if you have nothing else to do, you should listen to the Morrowind Wood elf's voicelines in french when he takes damage. That 'ouUuf' is simply perfect and I wish more people knew it

This raised my unarmed from 45 to 46 Assuming that magic isn't banned in MMA, who would win a championship fight between a guy who can transform into an octopus, or a guy who could stop time for 1 second 3 times per round? I am curious who you think would win and why.

Came for the rainy Balmora background, stayed for the questions. 🤜🤛

🌸😹I do not comment often, but my goodness I always enjoy your uploads!😹🌸

I grew up in the US and played whiffle ball as a kid. Oh yes I can assure you that whiffle ball bat battles have occurred. In the late 80's I fought a duel against another boy that led to many bruises and is probably still spoken about on the streets of my hometown today.

This was flipping awesome. Informative and fun. Well done!

No questions, just looking forward to the video. Thank you for all the content you work on!

I appreciate that Balmora background

I'm digging this channel. Common sense conversations about sport fighting are refreshing.

More of these, please!

Ramsey out here making a Game Theory episode about Pac-Man

Questions are never stupid but there are the one that ask it that not has everything on a row. 🤣 Greetings from the Netherlands 🥋 OSU 🥋

I've seen a few competent instructors that have students wait a short while before sparring, basically enough so that they understand things like control and pulling punches so that they can be a safe training partner for other students. However, getting someone to that relatively low barrier to entry doesn't actually take that long with good instruction, provided that they're first introduced to light contact sparring.

Beautiful background and meaningful session. Thank you Mr. Teacher Ramsey...! Long well...!!!

Good answer on the two finger grip - it’s one of my fav techniques at the wing chun school I go to, and I use it as much as I can.

Skate or Die was an awesome game! My older brother and I ran rampant for countless hours on that one. Great intro music too!

Loved this one coach 👌🏻

He said shah maat for checkmate. The persian phrase meaning the king is dead. An educated man

Love that you moved to Balmora

The DK yoo caught me off guard, man I laughed so hard. Thanks

Always love hearing you're full title, Hater Sensei.

The chat was basically pointless but great video and a few hilarious questions.

Excellent! Excellent indeed!!

My new favorite video

Regarding the BJJ belts as chess pieces, I’d think of the red belt as the king.

this wass utterly hillarious!

love the balmora background

Hey you actually put Balmora in the background. Awesome!

Got questions for future videos? Leave them in the comments below!

Woody isn't REALLY made of wood. Only his head, hands, and boots are made of a solid material (possibly wood, but considering his mid-fifties origin, possibly an early plastic). His body is mostly cotton filled cloth. Which makes him pretty soft and weak, but on the other hand, he'd DOMINATE at BJJ.

"16 weight classes higher" 🤣🤣🤣 Love this format!

Wow coach. I love background. TES III Morrowind Balmora lived that game.

We need more live Ashida Kim Dim-Makkery 😂 questions hahaha

Nice background! Good old Balmora

11:15 giant slalom, with two separate yet repeatedly intersecting trails, going simultaneously 😂 (I haven’t played Skate or Die, but Ski or Die!)

Nice to see you in Balmora, outlander

Love the Balmora background

Thanks Caius!

Boxing while skiing isn’t a silly idea. After all, we already have boxing while ice skating: It’s called ice hockey.

@Ramsey Dewey Will you ever do a video about different styles in boxing? People think boxing is just one style, but every champion has their own. Marciano, Hagler, Hitman Hearns, both Sugar Rays, etc. Also, could you do a video about different types of guards? I'd love to know more about the Philly Shell. :D

Down to Earth sense of Humor..😀

Dang!! Balmora background too ❤

Love your new intro grand master o sensei chosen one. Edit Dalhsim is God tier in SF2X just beneath Claw (Vega/balrog)... I can't tell in SF5 ... He wasn't my main in SF2, SFA, or SF4.

Only on a Ramsey Dewey Roundup video do I come in looking for kooky nonsense and come out actually having learned valuable lessons.

I loled at the suggestion to punch the guy with no head, in the face!!!

The ski-boxing thing sounds like a brilliant idea. The answer is clearly Moguls, since you can throw an uppercut on each mound.

My question to you Ramsey is: have you heard of the high elves? *Oblivion music plays in the background*

Love the Morrowind background.

love the pac man cannibal twist 😂

Love this video. Here's some more. 1. If humans had 4 arms like Goro, how would that impact boxing and other Striking arts? 2. If you had to design a fighting style based on your Chinese Zodiac animal what types of moves and movements would it have?

Skate or Die: Tour de Thrash WAS my childhood

I like the new thumbnail colour scheme

Yoooo that Morrowind background!

Let's go,! XD quote of the year

encounters a bjj black belt = yasss queen! 🤣 and then gets the crap choked out of me

This was cool.

Never would've guessed I would see Ramsey in Balmora.

That was so stupid I enjoyed it.

ur pac man relevation is quite something, ur definitely my fav youtuber lmao. i feel we could hangout for hours talking about martial arts and dunb stuff lol

man you are so great at what you do, hilarious idea. Keep them coming :) Thank you for what you do The pac-man mythos hahaha...

Purple is my second favorite color. I didn't think about it being tied to the belt at any point. I just like purple lol

Wealth beyond measure , outlander .

This question about sport gunfight isn't very stupid actually - there was a sport of duelling with pistols, it was once olympic sport, fighters wore masks and other protection, and bullets were wax or something. Pretty interesting thing! This thing about magic unable to pass through gloves was hilarious! :D Another thing about shouting names of techniques: kendo fencers do that! They scream not before the strike thou, but meanwhile, or even meanwhile the strike connects. It is one of several qualities needed to score a point, screaming name of the opening you strikes is, in this sport, embodiment of your intention - that the strike wasn't accidental, but purposeful. Another - I believe there is historical case of ninjas vs samurais, it was some castle that was taken from inside by ninjas dressed up as monks.

Stupid Question: We've all seen Thai fighters kicking trees for shin conditioning. If instead you repeatedly bashed the face against a tree, gradually increasing in intensity, would this make you better able to take a punch?

screams: **CROSS COMBO!!**

On the hulk question, just wanted to add, a lot of commissions do not want someone to be too much bigger in fight night, I could see a scenario where they actually stop the fight

Thanks!

Just got my brown belt and was looking at rash guards this morning “you know what is stupid? Brown rash guards” 😒

What do you do if you specialize in chokes but no head? Choke the torso!

One stupid question coming right up for you Ransey:) In the Star Trek Deep Space 9 episode "Take me Out to the Holosuite", Captain Sisko has the following conversation with his girlfriend Kasidy: Captain Sisko: [telling the story of him and Solok to Kasidy] We were in the same class at the academy. One weekend, I was with some friends in a bar off campus, The Launching Pad, when Solok came in with a group of Vulcan cadets. Said they were doing research on 'illogical human bonding rituals'. We didn't take too kindly to that. Kasidy Yates:And you'd had a few drinks. Captain Sisko: One or two. Well, we got into a debate and Solok said that Vulcans were naturally superior to Humans and other 'emotionally handicapped species'. Of course, I took the opposite position. So there I am, drunk and debating logic versus emotion with a smug and very sober Vulcan. Well, to make a long story short, I decided that the best way to prove that Humans were every bit the equal of Vulcans was to challenge him to a wrestling match. Kasidy Yates: Wrestling? Captain Sisko: All I wanted to do was wipe that arrogant look off his face so with everyone watching, in the heat of the moment, I challenged him. Kasidy Yates:And? Captain Sisko:I ended up in the infirmary with a separated shoulder, two cracked ribs and a very bruised ego. Kasidy Yates:[laughing] Oh Ben! I don't mean to laugh but what did you expect? A Vulcan has three times the strength of a human. Captain Sisko:[whistles] And they're faster too. But you're right - I got what I deserved. And if it had ended right there it would've been fine. But it didn't. Solok took every opportunity to remind me about our match. He used to point me out whenever I walked across the campus. In fact, he wrote 5 psychology papers about our match. I became the living embodiment of why Vulcans were inherently superior to Humans. Kasidy Yates:You don't mean he was gloating? A Vulcan? Captain Sisko:That's exactly what I mean. He may have hidden it beneath that Vulcan calm of his, but he loved every minute of it. And you'd think that once we graduated it would have stopped. But it didn't. Over the years, Solok wrote over a dozen papers on Vulcan/Human comparative profiles, and at the beginning of every paper is an analysis of that damn wrestling match. Kasidy Yates:And now he comes to your station and announces that he's put together a baseball team. Captain Sisko:Solok doesn't care about baseball. All he wants to do is rub it in my nose on more time but this time he's using my game. My game! My qustion is, if Captain Sisko came to you, stating that there was going to be a rematch between him and Solok and he needed to win it to prove Solok wrong about humans being inferior to Vulcans, and asked you to train him for that match. What training would you give Sisko so that he could defeat his Vulcan nemesis and what techniques would you teach him specifically for that match and what other advice would you give to him about winning this fight? Starfleet would give you unlimited resources to make sure that Sisko wins this fight, and you have full control over his training. Sisko is already shown to be a tough fighter in the series, shown on screen to be capable of defeating even Klingons in hand-to-hand combat. The honour of the human race would rest in your hands and training methods.

For the declaring your moves question- in Kendo competitions you have to declare your target in order for it to score a point. So something like that should be able to be done lol.

The pacman backstory was definitely interesting. Does sound like a dark story. Could you imagine if they gave him a real backstory. They could and it'd be part of the smash bros universe. Pacman has only appeared once maybe twice as an actual being/character in movies.

0:13 Huh. I missed that. For some strange reason, I feel like I would have made the greatest contribution to this event. . .

The boxing/skiing combo sounds like biathlon if it was invented by bored British soldiers posted on Swiss alps.

I gotta answer the question "what if fighters had to scream their moves before executing them?" If this were the case, rappers, especially rappers like Busta Rhymes, would be hands down the best fighters on the planet by default lmao!!😂

Love at 7:00 how you 'almost' gave us all the strongest finger 🙃

If I'm about to get kicked in the leg, I'm going to need a brown rash guard...

19:30 Blanka would be the best MMA fighter to train. A literal Brazilian monster with Strength, Flexibility and Grip strength.

Okay, now Icy Mike is going to make a video called "Why Chinese horse wrestling suck." Great video, Ramsey! Very interesting questions and answers.

Are brown rash guards a great incentive to work toward one's black belt?

A competition that doesn't exist like Kengan Ashura or the Dark tournament in YYH where the only rule is don't die.

This video would deserve viral status just for the Pac-Man lore!

If I face a terrifying opponent I want to be a brown belt so my rash guard will hide how afraid I am.

the type of boxing for a person that doesn't want to get punched? easy, shadow boxing.

Coach Ramsey dewey in balmora, giving hand-to-hand training lessons to beat dagoth ur.

I never heard of horse wrestling, but in my younger day I used to fight trunk monkeys.

Gotta respect the Morrowind background.

But more importantly. Is the balmora background from the skywind projects? Looks really pretty

12:00 We got chesdboxing. Now lets do skiboxing. The first to get to lets say 4km can rest. The dude who comes second must immidetly get on a treadmill at high speed and sprint at decently high speeds for as much time as he was late by. Then go straight to box a round. Rinse and repeat. For four rounds/20km. Either you win via TKO/KO or by finishing the race first

Replace brown rash gards by gold rash guards !
