Wrong. That is what becomes of a person, man or woman, after they have taken the time to learn self-discipline. It has nothing to do do with gender, but everything to do with individual capability and emotional/mental strength, which is something that has to be learned.

Ron M My parents put me in martial arts when I turned 5.

"Im a starving Ethiopian child, what should I do?" Jocko - Jujitsu.... Always jujitsu

I think it’s fair for Jocko to say all men should want to fight. It doesn’t always have to be physically. A man can fight for his wife, kids, and friends in several different ways. My personal belief is knowing how to fight physically helps me to fight weakness in other areas of my life

You should definitely fight if you have Echo s biceps! 💪

Hell yea jocko some truth being spoke here. I am from a rough part of the world no dad so I became super aggressive, by the grace of God I found myself in the boxing gym and taking jiu jitsu. Once I learned to fight for real as in really hurt someone, I lost any desire to fight in the street

So true if you are train to fight and confident to handle some situations the bullies will pick up your body language and will not engage

DAAAAAMN, Echo is JAACCKED

Jocko podcast in the morning before a run sure does get the gears going .

There seems to be no end to this man's wisdom!

I work in corrections and it’s important to know how to physically defend yourself but another one that’s even more important is verbal defense. Verbal judo is super important in law enforcement too. Being able to talk someone down is pretty important in my eyes. In my profession you always try to avoid physical conflict

@JR-ju3kj

Very well said. I think that knowing how to deescalate a situation is something that people who learn how to fight should know how to do as well-regardless of their profession but absolutely, with some professions and jobs, it`s basically a necessity to be able to talk someone down. My brother worked as a security guard and bouncer for a time and that was something he learned how to do pretty quickly. Vin Diesel, who worked as a bouncer for many years before becoming an actor, has talked about how in those kinds of jobs, you learn how to read people and I`m sure in corrections, law enforcement, the military, government agencies, etc, it`s exactly the same. A lot of people think that fights in real-life are like the movies and they often find themselves in for a rude awakening so people should avoid physical conflicts at all costs. If all other available means have been exhausted and there is no other choice, THEN, yes, people should fight and defend themselves and that`s why it`s so important to be able to fight as Jocko was saying. One of the best ways to avoid fighting is being able to fight.

Thank you Jocko

Jocko and Echo, thank you so much for discussing this! I have been plagued by this problem my whole life. I was bullied as a kid, and unfortunately did bully others as well, which i am ashamed of. I was always afraid to fight. Now I'm 46 and really want to learn bjj. I also want to introduce my 10 year old daughter to it as well. I am learning so much from your podcasts! Thank you both! So great to learn from REAL MEN of the highest integrity! ❤️

Also read The Art of War. Life gets a tad better knowing that book.

I agree. And as much as people love to hate on traditional styles, those also offer a much more forgiving learning curve for a nerd

good shit.. heard that before but is good when it comes from a long time martial artist and formers seal

Jocko seems to get his stuff from Adam carolla. Or maybe they think alike. Adam has been talking the pendulum effect. Hair bands led to grunge rock. PC principal and safe spaces led to cage fighting being popular.

100% True: if you are prepared to you most likely won't have to. Another counter-intuitive truth: when you learn to fight, you feel less need to fight/prove yourself. Turning a weakness into a strength is so satisfying

little bit of preparation goes a looong way

@jockowillink please can we talk about Echo's biceps?

Dominance

I carry and train with firearms but also never want to use them in a real life or death situation. I treat fighting the same.....and also of course because both are fun

It seems like there talking bout me training jiu jitsu 😂😂. Our gym does have a lot of lawyers,drs, dentist, and scientist.

The operative phrase is "a fair fight."

Who is "James Nielsen, the world's toughest accountant" mentioned at 7:12?

A man might have to fight. Lets face it. Not everybody practice the art of fighting. That aside. Fighting mostly is humiliating for winner and loser. Depends on circumstances. A gun being present will stop most fighting, but then you might have to shoot some one who isn't aware of the ramifications of being shot.

Showing this to my brother, hopefully he gets into it while he's still young.

Anthony Fights: that's a good brother move 👌💙

Just from real world experience, people that can handle themselves seem to have an "air" about them that just kind of makes people think twice about trying anything or picking an actual fight. People will see a person and think they might have a chance of starting something or beating them, but then the little voice in their head starts talking about how that person could also probably put a hurting on them that makes it not worth the chance. My boss used to have one of his friends who was an ex-special forces soldier come in and teach the people at our office basic self defense and anti-terrorism stuff, because if you work in an office building now of a certain size they have protocols they have to follow now, and I always remember he told us that you should never go looking for a fight, but if one comes looking for you you need to be prepared to handle it.

I have to disagree with Jocko, as much as I admire and respect him, I don't think "most" men want to fight. I think he thinks they do because "most" guys he hangs with are fighters. His world is not the regular world. In high school, I'm guessing that only 15-20% of guys wanted to throw down for almost any reason. But the reason for the fight matters, so it's a more complex question that just wanting to fight or not. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to throw down badly whenever I saw injustice or unfairness. I saw three dudes bullying a little Asian kid for being Asian. I saw red, my veins pumped, and I powered through those guys like a helicopter blade, their blood was flying everywhere. But if a guy just wants to fight me because I accidentally bumped into him or something dumb like that at a party, no I don't want to fight. So, am I a guy who wants to fight? Yes and no, depending on the situation.

As a practitioner of krav maga myself, its really fun and effective if you re into disarming weapons and street figting, but it will not make you a fighter. It will teach you what you need to survive against an untrained opponent pretty fast. So if youre someone who cares about that and doesnt like martial arts but needs the basics I would highly suggest it. If you love martial arts combine it with something else..for me its Kickboxing and bjj..

Krav Maga is very controversial. You need to find a good instructor as you will either find Krav schools that brand it with that name to scam people and teach utter garbage, or you will find ones that are great for armed, unarmed, ground and standing combat.

This is an IM-PORT-ANT lesson.

Poor Echo. Almost got to make a complete point at 5:12.

Fighting is part of most men's personalities because of how we're raised, plain and simple. Behaviors related to fighting are encouraged to most boys, and discouraged to most girls. If all parents did the opposite, fighting would part of most women's personalities.
