It IS more difficult as an adult to make friends, but the way to do is to go join groups. Cooking class, chess club, church, pottery class, valley dancing, rock climbing, soccer club. Whatever floats your boat. Meet new people. You will make friends.

tl:dw 1. Go to class 2. No junk training 3. Tap early, Tap often 4. Find training partners you can crush (to help them get better) 5. Find training partners on your level (to test yourself) 6. Find training partners that can crush you (to get better) 7. Find your niche 8. Become an athlete 9. Do your homework (train at home) 10. Tell everyone about martial arts (popularize martial arts) 11. Ask questions

“Tapping out in the gym is a sign of learning, not losing.” Epic quote

"Welcome the new kid, then shake his hand, then put him into a pretzel."

tl/dr version! 1) Skip class - you can only trane UFC by watching it anyway 2) Wearing TapOut shirts and flexing while screaming JUST BLEED is also trainning 3) Tap late and only do so by bloodcurdling screams! Submission rope-a-dope is a viable strategy. 4) Only train with people you can crush 5) Don't train with people your level 6) Get crushed by your partners 7) Train a bazzilion different things 8) Nothing matters except your rash guard: Affliction or TapOut? 9) Dog ate your homework. Also if you lift, Ramsey will feel you up... 10) Rule No. 1 of Fightclub. Don't tell anyone you trane ufc. 11) Just google it. OK! That seems about right!

how bout drinking outside of class a lot. Does that come with benefits?

#9 is the one that bothers me the most. I come from a boxing background and in boxing we were expected to do our own road work and I still do. Gym time is reserved for skills work. But when I have tried to join an MMA dojo half the time is spent on conditioning. My time is limited. Any moron can work someone out. Its easy to tire people. But I'm paying money to train, which is different from working out.

@ParkourEh

This is all too true. Coupled with the fact that classes could be as short as 1-1.5hrs in length for $100-300/mo (CAD) and I'm wasting time and money. This is why I almost prefer just solo and partner training mostly.

RealSteelJyn, Yes I have never been to an MMA dojo where there wasn't too much of a focus on conditioning. I come from a boxing background were there are serious national and world level boxers who came through my main gyms over the years. As far as the boxing trainers I have worked with over the years are concerned conditioning is the responsibility of the fighter. If you want to go far you are expected to do your own road work on your own time not the trainers time. The trainers time is reserved for skill devolpment. If a boxing trainer is criticizing your for your conditioning there are many bad things you can say in response but he absolute worst thing you can say is 'that's because you haven't been working me hard enough.' That aint his job.

consider tiring a guy out a necessity before training session so he wont "instakill" a partner by accident hitting with 90-100% output, tiring warmup is a must to lower that to around 30% and make trainees sluggish

That's a speech you rehearse in the mirror.

Funny, tip 4 reminds me of advice I've heard from top level competitive fighting game players (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, that sort of thing). They attributed a lot of their consistency and growth to going to local tournaments every week to crush all the worse players as bad as possible. This allows you to hone your basic movements, combos, matchups, and gameplans against a large pool of different players who really want to win. I think the equivalent in martial arts would be a BJJ black belt constantly rolling with lower belts over the years perfecting their submissions, sweeps, pressure, etc against a group of different resisting partners. Loved your videos for a long time, keep at it!

That’s also a big part of why the coach at a BJJ gym is usually the best guy on the mat- he has the most experience rolling with people he can squash.

Just recovering from a dislocated shoulder, and my excitement for training has gone missing. After watching this I'm feeling my hunger again. Thanks Ramsey.

As a former martial artist/martial arts instructor and a current fitness coach, I LOVE the essential truths here. In both fields of endeavor, too much value is placed on novel or esoteric “secrets” and too little on proven fundamental habits and strategies.

One thing I would add to this is: don't let "bad" training sessions put you off. I've had a fair few sessions where I've not done well in sparring, or where I've just not had the energy; but then I've had quite a lot of really good ones where I've learned a lot or it's given me a moment where I realise I've made progress.

Thank you for this Ramsey. Love the content and honesty. Keep it up.

I just added barbell training on my off days, already added 45lb to my deadlift and 25lb to my squat.

This is by far the best video ice seen for any beginner and I wished I'd seen it earlier. Its relieving to know I'm on the right path because I'm doing all of these things. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing your time, and experience Ramsey. You are a great teacher!

Ramsay, I want to be like you. You are my favorite person on the internet and have taught me so much, not just about martial arts but about the way a man should conduct himself. I’ve started boxing and I’m going to start wrestling soon because of you. Thankyou for your wisdom and willingness to express yourself, you’ve truly inspired me

This was actually very helpful, as expected of your channel. Reminded me that I need to put the time in even after the grueling hours of training every day and that I really should talk more about what I do, the people I talk with rarely are prone to sports but they almost always show interest in martial arts, it's just that it never crosses mind to bother them with such things, I tend to keep to myself. Thank you coach Dewey, I've been following you for long and you still teach me new things.

Your best video yet Ramsey! Keep it up. Very inspirational to us for you to give this kind of sage advice.

Really appreciate these lessons. Thx Ramsey.

It's very strange how in many martial arts and especially in my background one (judo) there's this sort of almost hatred for strength, for being an athlete. Especially in a amateur set up. Ive had Senseis actively go against the idea that you should use strength in a combat. Saying it's all about the technique. Strength is almost a bad word. They love to lie to themselves, they would like it to be some kind of witchcraft almost, a way for david to beat goliath. I dont understand how they can look at fighters like Teddy Riner and tell us "there's no strength involved there'" the dude's basically a colossus. There's technique but technique only works if it has a suitable amount of strength to back it up. To quote you, Ramsey, I think, technique is only the proper way to apply strength.

@Happis92

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah for sure! But at a beginners level one does too often only use strength and little technique. Which works if you are stronger than the other person , and they don't either have technique. So I guess the trainers you've encountered just wanted to teach you that without proper technique it will be tough winning against a stronger opponent. I would say, learn the technique without use of strength first and then apply strength afterwards to match what you want to achieve with that technique.

The experience I also have. My friend - 1,90 meters tall, 140 kilogram (slightly above 6'2, 310 pound) who hits the gym regularly (basically - a lot of muscles and very little body fat) and is not very big on martial arts, but still watches and is entertained by them - so have at least basic understanding - likes to test overpowering techniques with strength. Nearly all the times comes on top, especially when performed by some 60-70 kilo opponent. Boxing - well he outreach them and his beginners punches still have more weight to them than a well trained athlete with lower personal weight, yes he cannot easily bypass guard - but taking those hits even with guard hurts a lot. And his low kicks (his form is terrible and he will be the first person to admit that) makes your foot lift up from the ground. Wrestling - good luck with that if you are below 100 kilo to make him move, when his heavy lifting routine includes making pull ups and push ups with 20 kilos additional weight. A lot of people obsessed with 'strength' doesn't matter will say 'such case is at the extreme end'. Well if the extreme end prove a point, then there is still a spectrum, being stronger helps - by how much depends on the difference.

"strength doesnt matter" is coach talk. they want you in giving them that extra 20-50 quid a week. rather than spending that money on a gym membership. and if you believe them, you can spend a year getting squashed, make little to no progress and theyve made a fat chunk of change. theres money in training weak people than athletes. and most coaches arent THAT Machiavellian but that is definitely a factor. im the "training ruined my self esteem" guy from a few months ago and thats sort of what happened to me. like there were tons of other factors involved but that was definitely a part of it.

@siddified

5 жыл бұрын

Mr. Orangeaide well, personally I find technique based training more interesting and entertaining, plus it (knowledge, even muscle memory and reflexes) will last and work a lot longer versus strength and mass based training which requires constant maintenance and a lot more supporting regimes (diet, sleep, compounding workouts, ...) so yes, strength, size and mass make a lot of difference but strength and muscle mass are more difficult to maintain (unless you're an exceptionally genetically blessed freak), not feasible for everyone and will wane with age, whereas technique will not. there's a codependency between these factors of course, but for smaller and less powerful people technique is the way to even or surpass the odds. coaches or other people who state that strength, size or mass don't matter anything are either lying or simply very ignorant. it's technique and experience that gives an alternative advantage to being super big and/or strong. that being said, being super big or strong without any technique is likely to always get defeated by proper technique.

@Happis92

@@mr.orangeaide5260 yeah Well. I am with you that strength obviously matter. But in what situation are you thinking of? if you're just strong and face a guy who's as strong as you and knows the techniques, you don't stand a chance. So therefore a smaller guy who knows technique has a lot bigger chance of success against the bigger who has none technique.

This was a great video Ramsey...really honest, inspiring, and motivating...

Yet another great video Mr. Dewey... Your insights are priceless.

Love your videos. You give lots of good advice and have inspired me to improve my physical conditioning. I was in a deep slump of depression and you have motivated me to think more positively about myself and situations I find myself in. Thank you for the work that you do and the ambition you have for helping people improve their lives whether they are involved in combat sports or not.

Excellent tips. Ty!

Nice and simple, straight to the point. Thanks ramsey, hope this year goes well for you.

Best video you’ve made. The point about practising at home or in your spare time is so important

Excellent advice! People can accomplish anything if they genuinely try and try again. Another awesome video!!!! Your students are great, they are a credit to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise Ramsey 🙂

Amazing video! You broke down the basics excellently, and there’s beauty in the basics.

Not one of your videos is garbage. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always learn something out of it.

It does hold true for any sphere of life, and not just martial arts. Honoured to be a subscriber of your channel sir. Just priceless content

My son is in his 3rd yr of wrestling. He has been wrestling 3 kids above his level for most of the yr. Getting crushed. Everyone has said, find the hard guys, throw him in. I don't know combat sports. I really appreciate your perspective. He has improved a lot, but at times it looks as if i threw him in a pool and he can't swim yet. He loves the sport. So I'll try to mix his partners more so he can have some more rewarding days. Thanks !

This was such a bomb of wisdom from you! I feel many of these things can also be applied to almost any goal in life.

Excellent tips Ramsey! Keep up the good work.

This should apply to things, not just martial arts, but in everyday life. Also thank you Ramsey I'm a first year wrestler in highschool and tuning in to your channel really gives me confidence and insight on more than just combat. Thank you

It's especially difficult if you start in highschool, but it's totally worth it. It makes you tougher mentally and physically. Everytime I lose a match which is often, some of my teammates like to talk down to me, it gets to me sometimes but thats just what happens when you wrestle highschool.

Excellent content! I used to train in Tango as well and the instructor shared a story about him witnessing something awesome when he was training Tango in Argentina. The highly trained dancers will always train their fundamentals every morning. They work on their stretches, postures and pivots.
