Those are 2 really good points. Backstory and, something that is probably much harder to accomplish than it even seems to, work on the Marketing aspect of the series to give it better visibility and reach. Though that's something that is difficult to do when the YT Algorithm has so much power over these aspects. Given the international nature of the series, Marketing becomes an even bigger issue to deal with, with much bigger potential rewards, as all the efforts to promote it on different levels (town, region, State/Country, Continent & International, etc.) are going to be more dispersed, less concentrated in one area so there's that issue with the more local promotion. It all depends on the means/resources available to spend on Marketing, and there needs to be a minimum of effort deployed in each area you wish to increase your visibility to reach a critical point so that it's effective. A smaller scale production means that in this case, International Marketing makes things harder if they choose to try to reach that large. The best thing we can all do is talk about this to our friends, post Links on Social Media to raise Awareness in our larger circles of Contacts, try to get others to talk about it and finally, to use the additional Communication Platforms that are available to us if applicable (ie: Radio Station, Local TV, Community Center, etc., ... even Church for those who frequent these). I have no idea what kinds of means and strategies have been used by Rokas & co. to promote the Seroes, so I can't comment at all on what they did, but the fact that I only heard about it very recently, just a few days before it was released, means that there are probably additional things that could be done in the future to help. Of course, I'm probably not the typical target audience as I don't have people in my social circle who practice Martial Arts or have an interest in them, contrary to most viewers I presume. I still wish the very best for this Series and all the great people who have been involved in it!

You brought us something we have all wanted for years

This needs to be an Olympic game. This would be the greatest sport in the world. The scenarios for this are endless. There is something special to this!

One important factor here is the size difference, as in self defense there are no weight classes. I think this helped Sensei Seth and Rokas, nonetheless both showed great skills. I also think momentum plays a bigger part in an environment like this, so getting off to the right start and a bit of luck.... or being the attacker rather than the one doing self defense, if we're thinking about an assault situation, is also an advantage. Wish I could have participated. :p Excited for the next episode and glad Rokas put this together.

This is by far one of the best things I've ever seen on youtube dude, and I've been using youtube pretty much since it started.

This really looks like something that all men should do to let out our frustration and to push ourselves.

I've been waiting so long for this, and it was sooo worth it! I'm even more hyped now and I actually really want to do this thing too, it looks like... "fun" 😂

@Martial Arts Journey "Intense but fun", isn't that the best kind of fun?

Holy balls, this was filmed in Western Sydney?? Looking forward to the rest of series! Great work, gents!

Loved this! Great to see my favorite KZreadrs collaborating. It goes to show just how difficult using your skills can be without open space. I underestimated just how hard it was though! Can’t wait for the next episode

Congratulations on hitting the funding objectives this is the first and probably only time I have ever donated to anything like this but the content was awesome!

I loved it! I hope this series gets way more views than you ever expected! Also, I'd love to see more behind the scenes footage, especially leading up to and the aftermath of one of these training sessions

Episode 2 will have more of that for sure!

As I was watching I said "damn, being at the bottom, or by the window sucks in this situation", but the way Rokas used his bottom position to keep them away was amazing, and knowing how to pull guard was a great tool.

This is absolutely amazing! I have loved watching your journey. As someone who has done traditional martial arts for most of my life (TKD, HKD, kung fu, Taiji) even going to china to live and train taiji, only to go through my own disillusionment, go to thailand, do muay thai, muay boran and be introduced to BJJ, got to Perth Australia and focused on Judo and BJJ. I love what you're doing, how you're doing it and this is easily one of the best self defense challenge concepts I have ever seen! Thank you!

Thank you 😊

AWESOME!!! You've just created the greatest multimillion-dollar martial arts reality TV idea ever!! I love it. I'm hooked. I follow all these guys except the self-defense guy who I've never heard of before but I will be looking up. I can't wait to to see the rest of episodes. I'm passing this on to all my friends and family and Gym Bros so they can enjoy it also. GREAT JOB!! Thank you for putting it out there.

So great to hear! Thanks!

This looks unreal. Nut shots and everything! Can't wait to see it.

I have to give my props to you, Rokas, for devising this championship, and to the rest of the team for making it possible also. All of the participants not only showed good sportmanship, but they put their reputations on the line, also... and that takes guts. This is what true self defense should be promoted, but sadly there is no "common ground" nor a standarized version of what a self defense system should provide. I look forward for the next episodes to come!

This is gold! Creative, good content, well made, and answering questions we all had. Well done!!!

How did i just find this series! Can't wait to watch all the episodes!

This was one of the best video content on what real aggressive action looks like in close quarters like this! Loved every bit of this! Wish you gave some of the other competitors time to talk though. But I am just greedy and want more!

Episode 1 was designed to be explosive, next episodes will have more downtime and interactions, plus even more action!
