And that's all obvious and apparently needed facts of course, street fighters aren't aliens (much less than that, just lesser and confused fighters) and much less all those human and normal and primordial techniques and moves, that will just help the competent and proper fighter (though he/she doesn't need any), add up to his arsenal, bringing stuff that he can normally counter and even just replicate better anyway and shorten the span of the fight considerably. Just like for the Ramsey vs Wong topic in particular, what no rules and overwhelming situation? The 40 year veteran fighter and coach would just spare himself and the spectators/his viewers the fleeble question on aggravating his injuries by freak stuff (Wong wouldn't touch even his fingers of course) because he would shut down the pretender even faster if he wanted and decided to tap into that, let alone Rutten or GSP or Tony Ferguson and all.

When I first started sparring, it was shocking how hard it was to land a punch or kick on any part of someone's body who doesn't want you to. It took practice and hard work to land strikes on people. If you can land a good jab, you have a chance at landing an eye poke. If you can reliably land leg kicks or teeps, you have a good chance of landing a groin kick.

"Happy Slap Goes Wrong" was always a classic as well: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pomCyrCjaajOlps.html NB: The girl is shouting at the boxer to stop in Czech.

I don't know if anyone's going to read this, but I just need to write it. About a decade ago a friend of mine, a brown belt in Aikido, got in problems with the police, after he used his skills in the art to defend himself from a knife attack. I don't remember the details - it was a long time ago - but, IIRC, he saw the shining blade, reacted instinctively and applied a kotegaeshi lock on the attacker's wrist and injured him rather badly. Then there was some talk about pressing charges against my friend, although in the end he got away with it. However keep this in mind - if you beat the feces out of someone and word gets out that you're a trained martial artist, you may end up in trouble - purely legally - because of this. Sadly, a lot of people, including judges and prosecutors, still get their knowledge on martial arts from movies where you see someone like Steven Seagal beating 567 people in one fight scene. Keep this in mind. When you're practicing a martial art, you're not practicing self defense, even if there is some overlapping. Your Aikido instructor is not obliged to disclose to you the legality of bashing someone's head with a wooden sword or applying a dangerous wrist lock on someone who doesn't know how to do a proper breakfall. Your MMA instructor is not obliged to disclose to you the legality of ground and pound in a bar fight. And so on. Another story. A bar fight, maybe a bit more than a decade ago. I wasn't there, so... An acquaintance of mine with some experience in Jiu-Jitsu or something like that tries pulling guard... and succeeds. He lands, back first, on a broken bottle. You can imagine the result. So... Although any martial art can be applicable to a self defense situation, again, you're not studying self defense. Guard pulling may be a great strategy for winning a BJJ competition and it may even be helpful in a bar fight, but I'm not sure you're supposed to use it, when you don't know what you'll land on or how many people you'll have to deal with... What if you did it successfully and some of your opponent's friends came and stomped your head? And what if you did it successfully, but then your opponent pulled a knife out of his rear orifice and stabbed you with it? Again, it's not the art that's at fault here, it's the way it was used. Another story. At least a decade and a half ago. I was still in high school, I had no training whatsoever, other than what I'd seen in maybe a hundred martial arts movies. (My classmates used to call me a Shaolin Master because of my interest in this genre.) So... Someone pressed a knife at my throat. I don't even know why, he just did that and started yelling something that I don't even remember at my face. I defended myself by doing exactly the most idiotic thing you could think of - I grabbed the knife by the blade and yanked it out of that moron's hand. He was so startled that he actually let go. Now, obviously, I wouldn't recommend this. I just lucked out and I know that. But... Self defense situations are often unpredictable. You don't know what will happen and what will save you. Maybe kotegaeshi will help you. Maybe pulling guard will help you. Maybe acting like a complete idiot will help you. Or maybe it will not. Or maybe you will freeze, regardless of your training.

Thanks for sharing your story. I agree that fighting is very chaotic. We never know what the other can do, especially if they're not in their right mind (drunk or very angry). I remember Dewey once said to just give money or whatever asked indtead of fighting a knife armed robber. In a fight many thing can happen from accidentally slipped on nothing to unintentionally hitting a spot that caused permanent damage.

"Self defence is GET A LAWYER". Perfect

That thumbnail is glorious, Master Ramsey

Most guys don't want to learn self-defense. They want to be ready to hurt those who insult them. That's insecurity and no amount of knowing how to fight will fix that.

That's a grim take on martial arts Ramsey haha. I got beat up a lot but the thing that helped me the most was positioning myself in ways that the blows wouldn't hurt me. That's the solution martial arts gave me. I didn't let a part of me die. Violence was already part of my routine. Part of me, if you will. Going to the gym just surrounded me with people who understood it better than me (Which helped 10yo me a lot). Realizing that glancing blows didn't really hurt when compared to precise ones changed my life

This thumbnail speaks to my soul. I like your ethic, Ramsey. You're not necessarily an authority figure, more like someone who can authoritatively help out people if they seek it from you. A caveat though: you said you're nobody's master. You're nobody *else's* master, but I think you've demonstrated well enough that you've been the master of your destiny ;). Thanks for your perspective.

As usual, Coach, you make a great deal of common sense. My personal self-defense style, Avoido, is useless for MMA, true, but works very well for self-defense. It's more about UNlearning automatic responses--like getting angry enough to physically attack someone just because they spoke inciting words to you--"Fightin' Words", as they call them in the Southern United States where I was raised. But I live in Canada now, and am fairly certain that if I hit a man simply for using an Anti-Semitic slur on me, I'd be charged with assault. Walk away if you can; you have nothing to prove. No one really "wins" a street fight.

Here’s me being a hipster: my fighter nickname was “The Danger”, way before Breaking Bad was a thing.

For the few schoolyards fights I've been in, I've noticed it can actually end up either similar to a 'consential match' and sometimes not. Usually, if someone starts pounding their chest and trying to intimidate you... use the techniques that you learn for MMA or boxing or whatever... but if they jump you and ambush you.... usually doesn't work if you do not train for clinching. Training your clinch is very helpful for when ppl jump you since they usually try and get very close and hit you or suplex you. From that clinch, learning throws and strikes within the clinch usually helps. This is what I'm saying after I have both done sparring and been jumped. Now the thing that sports combat dudes don't usually think about are groin kicks and eye attacks. Now eye attacks are a whole different story, best bet is don't let them do the strike or if you can't, just close your eyes. For groin kicks, try and make sure you keep your stance not -straight. Always have your stance angled a bit, I personally use around 45 degrees or more which allows you to keep distance between your groin and the opponent and have enough time to defend if they try and attack it. Anyway, that's what I've been doing, feel free to disagree and discuss.

Ramsey, intendedly or not, you grasped an interesting case - a kano paradox. What kano paradox is telling us is that techniques that are in theory not lethal/permanently crippling are more effective than lethal/permanently cripling ones. It's because you can't practice for example an eye poke with you sparring partner because to practice it effectively you would make him blind, ergo you'll never be proficient in using any lethal/permanently crippling technique because you can't practice it. Meanwhile a hook or leg kick could be practiced for hundreds, or even thousands of times not injuring significantly your sparring partner, thus getting overwhelming proficiency in it. It always makes me laugh when I hear some "street fighter guy" trying to explain that "on da streetz" there are no rules, so he can beat up any UFC fighter by just kicking him in the balls and biting his nose or whatever bullshit like that. If he try that, he would get reality checked by kano paradox. And by the way, more or less kano paradox is discussed by Joe Rogan and Bas Rutten in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZiT0aSdZaerfs4.html Hilarious!

I'll never forget the time I decided to test my "street" striking against a trained boxer. I got clowned and realized how sub par my striking truly was. Best thing to happen in my martial arts journey. Edit: if you truly think mma "wont work in the streets" go to your local gym and spar with someone that's trained and let us know how it goes.

Brilliant video Ramsey. Thank God there are still some voices of reason such as yours

I'm glad I did Gracie combatives because the whole idea was jiu jitsu in a fight and using it for self defense. One thing my instructors said was "What does it look like to someone from the outside? If all a random passerby saw was you on top and striking someone, it's not going to look like self defense. That's why we wanna do minimal damage to this person."

Thank you coach Ramsey. I learn a lot of self defense today from you. What you explain is real and the truth.

Coach! You give better advice than many masters in life and otherwise. You are a blessing for sure to those who watch and share. God Bless Coach.

"Da Streetz" are not a war zone, there are rules that you are expected to follow or you end up being the bad guy. The response to violence has to proportionate to the threat in question.

Thank you for the wisdom, Master Coach. 🙇

I have to say, the wisdom and rationality of your discourse here and on all your other vids I watched is inspiring, refreshing, admirable and humbling all at the same time. Please continue your work of excellence. I think yours in an important voice to be heard., your words important words to be thought about and shared. Needless to say I wholeheartedly agree with your assessments. I understand perfectly and fully agree with your firm reluctance with the word ''master.'' My own teacher prefered the word ''guide.'' So I will salute you with the title ''coach'' you prefer because you aptly deserve it.

Man, there's some pretty deep and intense stuff in this video. "How much do you want violence." "Are you willing to let a piece of you die." The two core questions you need to answer if your motivation to learn martial arts is self-defense.

People often forget that if you're preparing for participating in a violent altercation, you've probably ignored a dozen or so other factors to prevent getting to that point.

Even Master Wong frequently references rules of the streets, such as getting divorced once your face gets jacked up.

"lets go back to that groin kick" not gonna lie i was expecting a clip for some reason lol

So many truths . I have experienced most of what the Coach has said here .Spot on.

Thank you Doctor Ramsey!

This video is answering my personal life question. I am not a martial artist, but have seen some violence acts at my neighborhood and fantasizing if I have to fight, I eye gouge my opponents.

I don’t know about other people’s title for you but since I’ve started watching your videos, till now, the titles I’d say best describe you are “Enlightened”, “philosophical”. possibly my favorite attribute about you, you are always “consistently honest” and over my many years on this rock, I have a 6th sense for bullshyt and you sir, have none.

I usually don’t take street cred advise from guys named Dewey but I’ll make an exception this time. Lmao. Informative video. This is good advice that can help someone survive a violent encounter. I really like the line about there being more rules in the “streets”. If you don’t use the “right” amount of force to stop the threat that’s bad, if don’t see a bad situation before it happens you can’t defend yourself. There are to many variables and awareness and avoidance is the best bet.

Probably the hardest distinction to make. Good evaluation of the possibilities and complications.

Great advise coach.

The reflexes to avoid getting hurt by a guy trying to hurt you in the ring in MMA are the same reflexes to avoid getting hurt by a guy trying to hurt you on the street. Any fighting training teaches you how to confront and overpower an opponent. Parkour or track running teaches you how to deal with the opponents you have no chance of overpowering (if you don't learn a combat technique, this is probably all of them). I personally think that if you have to choose *ONE* self defense class and only one, you should learn parkour. But if you can, take a martial arts class too.

(Master Ramsey) just sounds good. Thank you for making these videos good sir.😎👍✌

I train for violence every single day almost. I run! A lot! I run up in the mountains, I run on the tracks and I even run on da streetz! I trained in boxing for a while as well as some self defence classes but I've never been in a situation where combat would serve me better than running. If someone pulls a knife I'm better off getting out of range than fighting. If someone pulls a gun, I'm dead anyway. Stay safe guys! Run fast and run hard!

Reading your bio on your website. I too, began training because I was bullied, in 1994. I study Kuniba-ha Shito-ryu and a little Kobudo. Your bio is very impressive. I'm not much of a cage fighting fan, but I do like Lyoto Machida and yourself. Stay safe out there, sir.

When you were talking about the inside leg kick and the groin kick I was reminded of Rico Verhoeven from Glory Kickboxing, who has a weird ability to inside leg kick the BACK leg....he's the only kickboxer I've ever seen do it regularly, or even at all

Your view of the world is amazing, how did you develop such unique insight and wisdom. I believe much of it is personal experiences. The only reason I have taken up sport fighting is to find more wisdom and enlightenment from it. Am I wrong in doing so, would the price be to high?

Won me over at "don't call me Master". I feel the same, it's weird.

Good analysis 🐏!!You know your stuff 😉!!

0:13 yes guys, stoping calling him master. You should know by now that his title is hater sensei grandmaster chosen one!! 🤣 Great video btw, I love the thumbnail

Great message today Ramsey. I’m sure you’ve helped some people who feel bad about a time they froze up in a violent situation. Hearing a professional fighter say it puts the bigger picture into perspective. Also, a lesson I get from it is that anything you do needs to be practiced regularly. Most activities do not end up with you getting hurt though! One of the Klitschko brothers said in regards to Chess and boxing (really the conversation was about Chessboxing) that in chess everybody plays but no one is an expert. In boxing, everybody is an expert but nobody fights. Have you seen Chessboxing? It’s one of the more curious sports out there.

I love that you are a MMA expert and tell it how it is.

Hyper-vigilant state is what occurs unless you have experienced real violence.

I admire your content sir thanks for all the advice 🇵🇭 Here.

This video is to funny to pass up . Ramsey Dewey you are totally right ! Personally I have never been involved with a fight with the street

This one is excellent..

Great respect for your message about there being rules on the street. There's so much that goes into avoiding violence before a confrontation ever starts such as questions like 'am I in immediate danger,' 'are others in immediate danger,' 'can I/we get away,' 'can I/we call for help'. I agree you practically have to train specifically for self defense and especially more so for firearms. Imagine being in a crowded room when someone 15 feet away draws a knife and threatens to kill you. You draw, but adrenaline is making your hands shake at the fear of being killed, killing someone else, and wondering if you've considered all the options. A few degrees to the left or right makes the difference between hitting your attacker or an innocent bystander. Heck, those large calibers I've seen many love to tote would probably go through the attacker and hit someone else. If you subdue someone with a gun, is that someone going to hit anyone if they start firing out of panic while you're trying to take the gun away? Self defense clearly isn't simple, but I think its for these same reasons that people should some basic level of training in these areas. The alternative are these inevitable misconceptions. Drilling avoidance, familiarization with local law, training to make decisions under stress, ambushes, training in measured response; I believe these things will best equip you for... 'da streetz'. Another reeeeeaaaally big means of avoiding violence is to simply stay out of areas prone to it. Do you really need to have a drink at a bikers' bar, or take a leisurely stroll down that dark, graffiti strewn alley? In the end, I wish that people never have face this issue in the first place. But let us be honest that in some places the law doesn't help, or even works against you (speaking from personal experience). If you can be a light by doing good and being patient, showing love and being merciful, you will have a good life whether its short or long. LLAP

You've outdone yourself with this thumbnail coach!

I pray regularly to use the right amount and kind of force on the streets if I need it.

I have actually used an eye gouge in a self defense scenario, but I also grew up in violent home and was beat up by people much bigger and stronger than me on multiple occasions. I wasn't able to do that because I had spent time in the gym practicing it, but because I had the presence of mind, while a big strong man was choking me inside of a club, to see an opening and exploit it. I had never practiced eye pokes, but I had definitely practiced getting a bigger stronger men to stop choking me and I had already experienced real violence in my childhood. That said, I totally agree, getting abused as a kid is a great way to learn how to take a beating, but it isn't worth it, and if you live your life right, you can very much minimize the chance of something like that happening. I was a bouncer, so I really was putting myself in a position that risked such encounters. Also, trust me, it is very disturbing to know what shoving your finger in another mans eye ball feels like, and you'd much rather just never have to do it.

I’ve eye poked before and I can confirm this, I have occasional nightmares of the feeling

"I'm nobody's master..." Best response any martial artist should give.

Oh, man. HAHAHAHA. Thank you so much for the amazingly hilarious thumbnail for this video. You just made my week with that.

The best thing we can do in a bad situation is not be there....We don't HAVE to be in a dark alley at 2 in the morning if we're not buying drugs, we don't have HAVE to be in dive bar and get into a bar fight, etc, and we should always listen to "Something"....we don't all believe in "The voice of God" but we all believe in "our gut" or "our instincts" or "Something" because we've all had those experiences where "Something" told us not to push an issue with someone, or "Something" told us not to walk down that street today or "Something" told us to get away from someone....we should listen to "Something" because Something is smart, and if we listen to "Something" we will avoid situations of potentially needing self-defense more easily and more often

3:27 "That's too much!" I literally burst out laughing 🤣

Omg! The thumblenail!!!🤩👏🏻 From now on Ramsey we want you to dress up as the thumbnail and do the podcast! 😂🤩

Hehe you’re amazing man, I love all your content.

He is not a master, because in tha streetz the only master is life

I would say that it would have to depend on the situation on what you would be willing to give up if you can't make a quick decision then I don't know but if you have a few seconds to make that decision and the mental capacity to do so at the moment definitely people should do so it may save your life to take a quick assessment and decide what you need to do.

thank you for talking about how important it is to train with your firearm. If you don't do that, it is just a false sense of security.

Hey Ramsey thanks for answering my last question! Are you familiar with Senegalese Lamba (Lutte avec frappe)? It has similar rule set to Sumo. Looking at the athletes from both sports, which training methodology/movement vocabulary would lend itself best to MMA? If a representative of each fought MMA rules who would have the most advantage if neither had any other training?

From now on you will always be known as Master

Hey Ramsey do you have a source for the music mix you use of Master Wong's "for da streetz" ? It cracks me up everytime you pull it off.
