Bas is the ultimate example of manliness: hard as nails, yet with a contrite, humble spirit, and a sense of humour to boot. In the manliest way possible, I love you Bas, imagine having this guy as an older brother or father figure in your life. Respect to you Mr Rutten

After being a pro for 13 years I can honestly say that Bas’ striking system is absolutely the best! It genius is in its simplicity.

It's amazing the level of deep understanding and utmost proficiency Bas Rutten have on the Fight Mindset. His intelligent and always precise chess-game approach to Fight, with a clever answer to any situation that may occur, and the way he explains it in such clear, logical and concise manner, turns any detailed observation he gives as a fundamental guidance, to any skill level practitioner. This is really what places him apart as one of the most Technical Instructor on the whole upper level of Martial Arts/Fight scene. Those who are able to go train under his tutelage are really a group of lucky ones, as a fellow youtuber said below. Bless Bas!

@grahamvandyke

+guyfromBR It's because Bas got started in MMA back when there was no real path or guidance from coaches who knew everything like we have today. Bas literally taught himself ground fighting by rolling around with teammates and seeing what worked and what didn't and figuring it out by himself. That's what sets him apart from other coaches.

That forearm strike @2:09. He showed that in a different video I watched a long time ago. It is super powerful. It was an honor to take a seminar from Bas.

Great to see the advice at the end. It gives me as a viewer more confidence in the drill. Plus it shows how much of a trainer the instructor is.

Bas you are probably the moust intelligent person to teach and speak about MMA in this world. U the man.

I thought the same. Bas can´t make that punch soft even if he want to.

bas, nothing but respect to you. One of the best of all time. Thanks for all you do Champ!

Bas is THE man!! Total respect. A wealth of knowledge. Awesome fighter back in the day. Knockout power, both hands, both feet. One of the very best.

So much wisdom in such a short video

Totally get it. Same thing with the guitar; start slow with repetition; speed up incrementally; and it’s like you’re playing faster while it seems like your trying to play slower. Awesome!

Bas was the MASTER OF CALM. I saw all his fights.... He always had full control of himself. Relaxed, smooth.... ALWAYS... never panicked.

Bas, you're one of the best fighters on all martial arts history, an awsome commentator and, WOW, what a teacher!!!! Your didatics are just so fabulous!! It makes the student's brain learn to observe and block the punches in a slow, calm mood and then fastens it up without loosimg the calm, as the practicing is making you more aware of the punching, and the reflexes of blocking it and clinching. And as you're calm and you can see the punches coming, you can see the openings on the oponent's guard to counter punch too. Suberb!!!

Good shit, and he's sharing his knowledge for free. that's awesome most people just show snips and then plug a site. he seems well rounded, humble. I enjoy his videos

Helpful tips for me! I had a pretty bad 'quarter life crisis'. I was unhappy because I tended to avoid problems rather than face problems. A friend of mine (who happened to major psychology) mentioned 'boxing for therapy'. Glad I took boxing class. It helps me to have the 'face it head on' mentality.

Thanks, Bas for applying MMA to the real world and not just the ring. So much of MMA is offensive, you don't see many fighters or trainers talking about blocking and doing the training for it. Your students should be appreciative that they have a teacher that wants them to be ready for the real world, as well as the ring. Really appreciate you putting up an important and needed video. Keep up the good work!

Very good instructor! Bas is a guy who obviously has had a lot of experience real time fighting....my favorite kind of training, too....all very practical😊

Love the no nonsense approach

Love these fight class video's, Bas!!!

I've got my first uar rules fight coming up soon and I no this will stand me in good stead. Thanks baz. Best trainer out there

Thank you Mr. Rutten

Handige trainingsmethode! Bedankt voor het delen!

i have literally seen this guy in a couple vids and he does seem like a great teacher and fighter.

Done this drill in jkd, and it's very effective. Bass has great knowledge as always

It's satisfying to see Bas' karate base mixed in with his experience as an MMA fighter and coach

In old school boxing this was the "Wall drill" used to teach head movement without relying on backing up. I never see anyone use it anymore really so I was happy to see Bas use it perfectly. Not that I should be surprised of course.

Bas you rock! thanks for the vid uploads

Pearls of wisdom from a great warrior.

Great instruction Señor Bas

Respect to you sir. I train in Kuta and the liver attack will now be included in my reflexes drill especially against taller opponents. Thanks.

This was a good video. I like that you don't just focus on the technique "How to block/how to punch/how to etc. and now everyone go practice" but also the technical/psychological side of things like "Here's how to combat flinching/panicking".

he's an EXCELLENT teacher!!!

Wow .. the thing about a calm fighter against an angry one its so true .. and there is a study that said relaxed muscles are more powerfull when they hit . Bas the way u see things on fighting proves why u are a champion .

Martial Lee - Vegan MMA for Coaches and Students In watching lots of street fights where someone's backed up most people turtle up after the attacker just wails on them and they eventually land a shot through the guard. I'm gonna drill the shit out of this. To be experienced in reversing a very dangerous position like being backed up seems like a worthy pursuit.
