00:00:00.000 Music
00:00:29.960 So the request which led to this video was rather specific.
00:00:35.440 It was a question of which martial art is best martial art,
00:00:40.840 particularly given the individual's physical traits.
00:00:46.700 And my response was, like, honestly, I'm not the right person to ask.
00:00:50.040 I'm not a martial arts junkie any more than I'm a hardware junkie
00:00:54.240 when it comes to firearms.
00:00:56.020 And so I linked him to some posts down below,
00:01:00.580 which are an excellent, excellent analysis and comparison
00:01:04.260 of the different martial arts, their strengths and weaknesses,
00:01:08.240 which are best and which you should probably avoid.
00:01:13.920 However, the requester still wanted me to make a video about
00:01:17.660 the whole concept of self-defense, martial arts,
00:01:22.700 and keeping yourself safe in an increasingly chaotic world.
00:01:28.100 And so I've decided to boil this video down to three points.
00:01:33.740 Number one, never carry a gun unless if it's going to get you out of more trouble
00:01:39.080 than it's going to get you into.
00:01:42.600 Number two, all guns should be Glocks.
00:01:47.040 And number three, the look of the samurai.
00:01:54.260 So, number one, never carry a gun unless if it's going to get you out of more trouble
00:01:58.600 than it gets you into.
00:02:00.620 That's actually a quote from one of the Han Solo novels
00:02:05.440 way back before the expanded universe became a thing.
00:02:08.860 And, you know, it stuck with me.
00:02:10.240 Ever since I read it as a little kid, it stuck with me.
00:02:13.260 Back when I was in the States, I ran into somebody who knew me by reputation.
00:02:18.140 And they said, oh, I just know you have a sidearm with you.
00:02:22.040 And I said, well, no, no, I don't.
00:02:24.500 Because that would be illegal for me to carry.
00:02:27.800 And there aren't going to be any situations I find myself in
00:02:31.640 where having a gun, or at least probability-wise,
00:02:36.340 you know, I can imagine many situations
00:02:38.280 where carrying a gun will get me into a lot of problems.
00:02:41.880 And I can imagine very few
00:02:44.140 where it will get me out of them.
00:02:46.580 And even in those situations,
00:02:48.420 I have other options.
00:02:53.800 This is to say
00:02:54.760 that the best part of valor
00:02:58.700 is...
00:03:00.960 I forgot the saying,
00:03:03.900 but the better part of valor
00:03:05.000 is knowing when not to fight.
00:03:12.020 See, when you think of these...
00:03:14.220 with rare exceptions,
00:03:17.200 you know, Mike Tyson,
00:03:18.300 and he did the prison time for it,
00:03:20.540 with rare exceptions,
00:03:22.580 when you think of martial artists,
00:03:24.500 boxers, MMA fighters,
00:03:26.540 these are not the sort of people
00:03:28.280 that go around picking a fight
00:03:30.120 with everybody.
00:03:30.740 Because one of the things
00:03:33.660 you quickly figure out
00:03:35.760 when you're training in combatives
00:03:37.640 is just how lethal it can be.
00:03:43.280 Any game worth playing.
00:03:45.560 You know, I've been playing...
00:03:46.820 What's that?
00:03:47.780 Silent Storm, for instance.
00:03:50.640 Tactical RPG squad-based shooter.
00:03:53.720 Every single one of these games
00:03:55.100 needs to completely nerf
00:03:56.860 the lethality of all the weapons.
00:03:58.960 Because in the real world,
00:04:02.360 the slash of a knife
00:04:03.760 can permanently disfigure you.
00:04:06.920 You know, as the saying goes,
00:04:08.220 you don't win a knife fight,
00:04:10.080 you survive a knife fight.
00:04:13.500 And even if you take...
00:04:15.380 you take the...
00:04:17.380 top MMA guys.
00:04:19.660 You know, if they went around
00:04:20.820 picking a fight
00:04:21.480 with absolutely everybody out there,
00:04:24.000 they would win most of them.
00:04:25.820 They are very, very good.
00:04:27.700 But eventually,
00:04:30.300 they'd meet somebody better.
00:04:33.080 Or,
00:04:33.940 the other guy would just get lucky.
00:04:35.980 And their career would be over.
00:04:39.360 You know, all it takes
00:04:40.320 is a thumb in the eye
00:04:41.180 to permanently blind you.
00:04:44.840 And so, yes.
00:04:45.920 Sorry, discretion
00:04:46.740 is the better part of valor.
00:04:50.140 Knowing when to walk away.
00:04:52.200 Knowing when
00:04:52.780 not
00:04:53.600 to start a fight.
00:04:55.240 The way to win fights
00:04:57.400 is not to be a badass.
00:04:59.220 Being a badass
00:04:59.900 is how you get yourself killed
00:05:01.380 or put into prison.
00:05:03.320 The way to win fights
00:05:04.740 is make sure that you
00:05:05.980 always,
00:05:07.020 always,
00:05:07.840 always have
00:05:08.880 the strategic
00:05:09.620 advantage.
00:05:11.700 Never fight
00:05:12.560 if you don't have
00:05:13.540 the strategic advantage
00:05:14.980 and retreat
00:05:16.060 until you do.
00:05:17.380 And this brings us
00:05:24.760 to the second point.
00:05:27.880 All guns
00:05:28.880 should be Glocks.
00:05:31.660 Now, hopefully,
00:05:32.660 you recognize
00:05:33.280 the song
00:05:34.800 that comes from.
00:05:36.460 I'll link it down below.
00:05:37.380 I absolutely love the song.
00:05:39.020 It's so wonderfully
00:05:39.840 patriotic
00:05:41.940 and soulful
00:05:42.800 and so absolutely
00:05:44.280 correct.
00:05:44.380 And the point
00:05:46.800 of the song,
00:05:48.100 to quote something else
00:05:49.040 from my childhood,
00:05:50.140 a line from the
00:05:51.200 video game Descent,
00:05:52.880 I'm not a hardware junkie.
00:05:57.000 I don't get off
00:05:58.080 on the hardware.
00:06:01.680 I mean,
00:06:02.380 I do have an affinity
00:06:03.360 to the
00:06:05.040 AR-15 platform.
00:06:08.000 You know,
00:06:08.280 I really like
00:06:09.620 the C7A1
00:06:10.620 variant,
00:06:11.900 personally.
00:06:12.280 I don't like the A2
00:06:13.300 because it's got
00:06:13.960 the green stock
00:06:14.880 and that's faggy
00:06:15.720 in my opinion.
00:06:19.000 But here's the thing,
00:06:19.700 it's not about
00:06:20.080 the hardware.
00:06:21.400 You want to ask me
00:06:22.040 what the best gun
00:06:22.600 in the world is?
00:06:23.240 It's like,
00:06:23.520 I don't know.
00:06:25.100 You know what?
00:06:25.660 The guy at the
00:06:26.640 shooting range,
00:06:28.320 you know,
00:06:28.460 the competition shooter,
00:06:29.800 the real expert
00:06:31.580 who,
00:06:32.840 he's probably made money,
00:06:34.060 he's probably won money
00:06:34.840 doing this,
00:06:35.440 but he's probably spent
00:06:36.060 more money
00:06:36.600 in the process.
00:06:39.800 He's the guy
00:06:40.420 that will have
00:06:40.720 a very strong opinion
00:06:41.660 on his favorite
00:06:43.060 firearm.
00:06:46.540 And you know what?
00:06:47.340 His opinion
00:06:47.760 doesn't fucking matter.
00:06:52.440 It doesn't matter
00:06:53.400 because the guy
00:06:55.000 that's at the
00:06:55.660 firing range
00:06:56.420 and he's got
00:06:58.120 a very strong opinion
00:06:59.160 on the,
00:06:59.900 on revolvers
00:07:01.740 versus
00:07:02.440 semi-autos,
00:07:04.860 that guy's
00:07:07.660 shooting on a range.
00:07:08.460 He can train you
00:07:10.840 to be a better shot.
00:07:12.060 He can offer you
00:07:12.700 some good advice.
00:07:13.400 Listen,
00:07:13.660 if you don't know
00:07:14.180 which gun to buy,
00:07:15.180 buy the gun
00:07:15.700 that he tells you to buy.
00:07:18.080 Don't disrespect that guy.
00:07:19.280 He knows
00:07:19.960 his stuff.
00:07:23.580 But when you're
00:07:24.340 in a firefight,
00:07:25.780 the best gun
00:07:27.660 is the gun
00:07:28.260 that you have.
00:07:30.140 The best gun
00:07:31.160 is the gun
00:07:32.280 that doesn't break.
00:07:33.580 It's the one
00:07:34.220 that doesn't run out
00:07:34.900 of bullets
00:07:35.320 before the firefight
00:07:36.200 is over.
00:07:36.720 And so the best gun
00:07:39.180 is a Glock.
00:07:40.160 And all guns
00:07:40.740 should be Glocks.
00:07:43.760 You know,
00:07:44.300 even though I'm partial
00:07:45.060 to the 1911 myself.
00:07:50.160 Similarly,
00:07:51.460 martial arts.
00:07:53.100 Which one
00:07:53.740 is the best martial art?
00:08:01.860 Anytime a martial art
00:08:03.180 starts becoming
00:08:04.600 systemized,
00:08:05.900 it's already dead.
00:08:07.880 It's not organic anymore.
00:08:10.440 You know,
00:08:10.560 and I trained
00:08:11.220 in Goju
00:08:13.060 and Shotokan
00:08:14.860 karate,
00:08:16.340 which,
00:08:16.800 yes,
00:08:17.020 is the Dane cook
00:08:19.060 of martial arts.
00:08:21.160 But I didn't just
00:08:22.140 train in that.
00:08:22.800 I trained in grappling.
00:08:24.100 I trained in a lot
00:08:24.960 of different things.
00:08:27.900 And,
00:08:28.460 yes,
00:08:29.200 competition karate,
00:08:30.400 most karate schools
00:08:31.300 out there,
00:08:32.220 it's nothing but
00:08:33.340 very mechanical
00:08:34.880 dancing.
00:08:35.460 All right,
00:08:36.800 there's a lot
00:08:37.720 of karate
00:08:38.180 out there
00:08:38.880 that,
00:08:40.460 you know,
00:08:41.060 I never bothered
00:08:41.840 getting beyond
00:08:42.400 yellow belt
00:08:42.940 for crying out loud
00:08:43.860 and I could
00:08:44.340 take out most
00:08:45.420 of the brown belts
00:08:46.100 I've seen
00:08:46.640 and half of the
00:08:48.300 black belts.
00:08:48.920 yes,
00:08:53.060 there's a lot
00:08:54.220 of it out there
00:08:54.680 that's just a joke
00:08:55.420 because it's become
00:08:56.760 systemized,
00:08:57.720 it's become
00:08:58.260 standardized,
00:08:59.320 and it's become
00:09:00.220 not about winning
00:09:01.460 fights,
00:09:02.320 but about
00:09:03.760 winning
00:09:04.800 accolades.
00:09:08.200 And the
00:09:09.120 exact same thing
00:09:10.840 goes for the
00:09:12.260 MMA.
00:09:14.120 MMA
00:09:14.560 is more
00:09:16.160 and more
00:09:16.700 about the
00:09:17.620 competition.
00:09:18.860 Again,
00:09:19.600 not saying
00:09:20.900 that that
00:09:21.700 MMA guy,
00:09:22.820 you want to
00:09:23.280 go mess with
00:09:23.820 him because
00:09:24.160 there are
00:09:24.480 some scary,
00:09:25.520 scary dudes
00:09:26.520 in MMA.
00:09:30.280 But if you're
00:09:31.000 picking up
00:09:31.480 and you're
00:09:31.820 training in it
00:09:32.780 and you're
00:09:33.560 training for
00:09:34.080 competitions,
00:09:35.440 well,
00:09:36.000 you don't
00:09:36.220 hit below
00:09:36.620 the belt
00:09:37.060 in a competition.
00:09:38.300 You don't
00:09:38.520 gouge your
00:09:39.220 enemy's eyes
00:09:40.140 out in a
00:09:41.460 competition.
00:09:44.440 You don't
00:09:45.120 pick up a
00:09:45.600 bat and
00:09:46.460 smack them
00:09:46.920 across the
00:09:47.420 head because
00:09:49.440 it's a
00:09:49.760 competition.
00:09:56.520 You don't
00:09:57.360 want to
00:09:57.720 worry over
00:09:58.400 much about
00:10:00.180 which martial
00:10:01.160 art is the
00:10:02.520 best martial
00:10:03.180 art.
00:10:04.680 You want to
00:10:05.620 find a good
00:10:06.640 school in
00:10:07.700 your area.
00:10:09.900 So if you
00:10:10.600 go into an
00:10:11.240 MMA school
00:10:12.680 and it's
00:10:14.400 a bunch
00:10:14.740 of frat
00:10:16.220 bros that
00:10:16.900 are wearing
00:10:18.060 Ed Hardy
00:10:18.580 gear and
00:10:19.320 they're not
00:10:19.820 serious about
00:10:20.440 training,
00:10:20.900 they just
00:10:21.140 want to
00:10:21.640 say they're
00:10:22.380 MMA fighters,
00:10:23.640 and then you
00:10:24.500 have a
00:10:24.740 karate school
00:10:25.420 which is
00:10:27.000 actually really
00:10:27.720 serious and
00:10:28.640 they do
00:10:29.060 hardcore
00:10:30.220 exercises and
00:10:31.920 it actually
00:10:32.360 is about
00:10:33.180 sparring and
00:10:34.780 training and
00:10:35.260 getting better,
00:10:35.700 pick the
00:10:37.280 karate school.
00:10:39.140 Nine times
00:10:39.800 out of ten
00:10:40.100 it's going to
00:10:40.320 be the
00:10:40.580 opposite
00:10:40.880 scenario,
00:10:42.080 but if you
00:10:42.840 get that
00:10:43.160 rare instance,
00:10:43.940 pick the
00:10:44.180 karate school.
00:10:45.760 Pick the
00:10:46.320 school that's
00:10:46.620 going to
00:10:46.820 teach you
00:10:47.080 how to
00:10:47.320 fight.
00:10:48.720 Pick the
00:10:49.380 school where
00:10:50.580 the people
00:10:51.320 actually give
00:10:52.040 a damn
00:10:52.380 about the
00:10:53.680 purposes,
00:10:54.820 the ends
00:10:55.580 behind it,
00:10:57.400 not just
00:10:58.340 the idea of
00:11:00.380 winning accolades
00:11:01.380 and egoism.
00:11:06.660 And quite
00:11:07.360 frankly,
00:11:07.880 if you ever
00:11:09.520 have to rely
00:11:10.620 upon these
00:11:11.180 skills,
00:11:13.380 keep in
00:11:15.220 mind,
00:11:15.400 if you've
00:11:15.600 done any
00:11:16.060 martial art
00:11:16.720 and you've
00:11:18.440 trained it
00:11:18.840 to any
00:11:20.180 serious degree,
00:11:22.380 you're
00:11:23.980 already in
00:11:24.300 the top
00:11:24.700 15%,
00:11:26.740 top 5%
00:11:27.940 of the
00:11:29.100 population
00:11:29.600 out there.
00:11:32.100 So whichever
00:11:33.140 martial art
00:11:34.660 you choose,
00:11:36.980 as long as
00:11:38.380 you train in
00:11:38.960 it,
00:11:39.760 you will be
00:11:40.760 able to
00:11:41.020 defend yourself.
00:11:44.100 And
00:11:44.740 furthermore,
00:11:45.440 you'll know
00:11:46.200 you'll be
00:11:47.080 able to
00:11:47.360 defend yourself,
00:11:48.700 which leads
00:11:50.540 to the
00:11:51.060 third point.
00:11:52.380 the look
00:11:53.400 of the
00:11:53.640 samurai.
00:11:56.320 Now,
00:11:56.860 this is a
00:11:57.160 pretentious
00:11:57.560 little phrase
00:11:58.120 that my
00:11:58.480 old sensei
00:11:59.600 came up
00:12:00.740 with.
00:12:03.260 And part
00:12:03.920 of it's
00:12:04.140 just getting
00:12:04.480 older as
00:12:06.360 well,
00:12:06.660 becoming more
00:12:07.140 seasoned,
00:12:07.860 becoming more
00:12:08.520 confident in
00:12:10.580 yourself.
00:12:13.700 You see,
00:12:14.500 the look
00:12:15.420 of the
00:12:15.640 samurai is
00:12:17.760 when you
00:12:18.320 can look
00:12:18.620 somebody in
00:12:19.100 the eyes
00:12:19.560 and they
00:12:22.020 know you're
00:12:22.440 not going
00:12:22.800 to back
00:12:23.120 down.
00:12:24.420 You are
00:12:25.080 going to
00:12:25.480 go 100%
00:12:27.180 and even
00:12:28.540 if they
00:12:29.080 win,
00:12:29.640 it's going
00:12:30.100 to be one
00:12:30.720 hell of an
00:12:31.220 expensive win.
00:12:32.520 You are not
00:12:32.980 going to be
00:12:33.280 pushed around.
00:12:34.300 You have
00:12:34.720 set your
00:12:35.260 feet down.
00:12:36.580 You have
00:12:36.900 stood your
00:12:37.400 ground.
00:12:38.800 Let's
00:12:39.140 dance,
00:12:39.520 motherfucker.
00:12:39.920 You know,
00:12:45.600 there was
00:12:45.800 an incident
00:12:46.500 back when
00:12:47.920 I was in
00:12:48.280 Vegas.
00:12:50.560 When I
00:12:51.380 was in
00:12:51.800 this really,
00:12:52.980 by this
00:12:53.440 really cheap
00:12:54.160 hotel district,
00:12:55.600 I had this
00:12:56.100 idiot with
00:12:56.780 me that
00:12:57.220 was looking
00:12:58.480 for money
00:12:59.080 or something.
00:13:00.300 Anyway,
00:13:00.560 this degenerate
00:13:01.180 approached me
00:13:01.760 and he
00:13:04.160 happened to
00:13:04.620 notice the
00:13:06.260 knife in
00:13:07.560 my pocket.
00:13:08.140 it had a
00:13:09.180 little clip
00:13:09.760 on my
00:13:10.040 belt or
00:13:11.800 on my
00:13:12.520 jeans.
00:13:14.940 And so
00:13:15.440 he asked
00:13:15.800 to see
00:13:16.180 it.
00:13:18.420 And so
00:13:18.880 I looked
00:13:19.260 at the
00:13:19.520 son of
00:13:19.800 the bitch.
00:13:20.840 I said,
00:13:21.260 sure thing.
00:13:22.460 And I
00:13:22.940 handed it
00:13:23.360 to him
00:13:23.720 and looked
00:13:24.920 him in
00:13:25.140 the eyes
00:13:25.520 the whole
00:13:25.920 goddamn
00:13:26.360 time.
00:13:27.580 He
00:13:27.700 complimented
00:13:28.340 me on
00:13:28.580 my knife
00:13:28.980 and handed
00:13:29.340 it back
00:13:29.800 and then
00:13:30.040 got the
00:13:30.360 fuck
00:13:30.560 out of
00:13:30.840 there.
00:13:37.440 Now,
00:13:37.880 I'm not
00:13:38.060 recommending
00:13:38.420 you do
00:13:38.820 that.
00:13:41.540 All right,
00:13:42.080 look at,
00:13:42.520 first of
00:13:42.880 all,
00:13:45.120 look at
00:13:45.400 the samurai
00:13:45.820 means that
00:13:46.440 you,
00:13:48.000 to have
00:13:48.420 it,
00:13:48.560 well,
00:13:48.680 first of
00:13:48.980 all,
00:13:49.060 you need
00:13:49.260 to be
00:13:49.480 ready to
00:13:49.840 go,
00:13:50.760 no matter
00:13:51.100 what the
00:13:51.440 costs.
00:13:52.620 And again,
00:13:52.940 this comes
00:13:53.400 with time,
00:13:54.780 with confidence,
00:13:55.840 and also,
00:13:56.800 to go back
00:13:57.280 to the first
00:13:57.720 point,
00:13:59.820 not starting
00:14:00.700 fights for
00:14:01.860 no reason.
00:14:04.760 That if
00:14:05.300 you are
00:14:05.860 going to
00:14:06.240 fight somebody,
00:14:06.840 you are
00:14:07.620 100%
00:14:08.520 in the
00:14:08.880 legal
00:14:09.260 right,
00:14:10.580 and you
00:14:12.280 are 100%
00:14:13.120 going to
00:14:13.600 win.
00:14:15.680 Okay,
00:14:16.180 the best
00:14:16.480 way to
00:14:16.680 have a look
00:14:16.980 at the
00:14:17.180 samurai is
00:14:17.960 knowing that
00:14:18.500 you're going
00:14:18.820 to win,
00:14:19.640 and not
00:14:20.480 regretting
00:14:21.080 anything that
00:14:22.000 leads up
00:14:22.400 to it.
00:14:24.300 You have
00:14:24.940 that,
00:14:25.240 people will
00:14:25.580 back the
00:14:26.040 fuck down
00:14:26.600 from you.
00:14:27.040 number
00:14:30.460 two is
00:14:30.780 situational
00:14:31.420 awareness.
00:14:37.380 And this
00:14:38.020 also relates
00:14:38.840 to number
00:14:39.200 one.
00:14:40.880 See,
00:14:41.220 anytime
00:14:41.580 these
00:14:42.080 predators
00:14:43.100 are going
00:14:44.720 to come
00:14:45.640 and lean
00:14:46.760 on you,
00:14:47.780 they're going
00:14:48.100 to try
00:14:48.360 and push
00:14:48.740 you around,
00:14:51.060 and they
00:14:51.580 usually move
00:14:52.060 in packs,
00:14:55.300 is they'll
00:14:57.040 try and
00:14:57.320 surround you.
00:14:58.320 They'll
00:14:58.720 try and
00:14:59.000 sneak behind
00:14:59.520 you.
00:15:01.180 Don't
00:15:01.620 let them.
00:15:02.800 If
00:15:03.060 somebody
00:15:03.340 starts
00:15:03.620 edging
00:15:04.060 up
00:15:04.380 outside of
00:15:06.240 your
00:15:06.480 peripheral
00:15:07.520 vision,
00:15:08.420 call them
00:15:08.900 out on
00:15:09.200 it.
00:15:10.080 Look at
00:15:10.380 them.
00:15:11.280 Say,
00:15:11.460 hey,
00:15:12.180 stay where
00:15:12.580 I can
00:15:12.800 see you.
00:15:14.040 What are
00:15:14.520 you doing,
00:15:14.900 buddy?
00:15:15.840 Can't talk
00:15:16.480 to you if
00:15:16.800 you're
00:15:16.900 standing
00:15:17.120 behind
00:15:17.480 me.
00:15:17.740 Situational
00:15:26.080 awareness.
00:15:26.780 Do not
00:15:27.220 get ambushed.
00:15:28.860 Do not
00:15:29.500 allow yourself
00:15:30.200 to be
00:15:30.580 ambushed.
00:15:31.060 Be aware
00:15:31.780 of your
00:15:32.320 environment.
00:15:33.100 Be aware
00:15:33.440 of the
00:15:33.720 people in
00:15:35.140 your
00:15:35.300 environment.
00:15:39.780 Being
00:15:40.340 really good
00:15:41.020 at martial
00:15:41.460 arts is
00:15:41.980 no good
00:15:42.740 if somebody
00:15:43.760 sucker
00:15:44.180 punches
00:15:44.540 you.
00:15:47.740 speaking
00:15:49.880 of which,
00:15:50.540 be aware
00:15:51.240 when you're
00:15:52.540 open to
00:15:53.340 being
00:15:53.560 sucker
00:15:53.880 punched.
00:15:57.240 Like,
00:15:57.700 look at
00:15:57.880 what happened
00:15:58.260 to Richard
00:15:58.580 Spencer a
00:15:59.080 few months
00:15:59.420 back.
00:16:01.180 He was
00:16:02.100 doing a
00:16:03.420 media
00:16:03.660 interview.
00:16:05.320 And when
00:16:05.920 you're doing
00:16:06.240 a media
00:16:06.640 interview,
00:16:07.920 you know,
00:16:08.100 like,
00:16:08.260 heck,
00:16:08.460 right now
00:16:08.760 when I'm
00:16:09.040 even talking
00:16:09.460 to the
00:16:09.720 camera,
00:16:11.040 when you're
00:16:11.440 really focused
00:16:12.180 on a
00:16:12.480 task,
00:16:12.800 if you're
00:16:13.060 playing a
00:16:13.460 game of
00:16:13.780 pool and
00:16:14.160 you're
00:16:14.320 lining up
00:16:14.860 your
00:16:15.020 shot,
00:16:15.440 you're
00:16:17.660 so
00:16:17.880 concentrated
00:16:18.560 on that
00:16:19.060 one
00:16:19.420 spot,
00:16:20.160 you get
00:16:20.480 tunnel
00:16:20.800 vision,
00:16:21.840 you're
00:16:23.000 open to
00:16:23.460 being
00:16:23.640 sucker
00:16:23.940 punched.
00:16:29.300 That's
00:16:29.860 part of
00:16:30.080 situational
00:16:30.560 awareness,
00:16:31.260 is being
00:16:32.000 aware of
00:16:33.120 all of
00:16:34.100 that.
00:16:39.420 Also
00:16:39.940 related,
00:16:40.400 and this
00:16:40.540 is part
00:16:40.880 of the
00:16:41.300 question as
00:16:42.220 well,
00:16:43.040 because the
00:16:43.760 video requester
00:16:44.340 has a
00:16:44.700 bad jaw,
00:16:45.440 injured it,
00:16:46.640 and so
00:16:47.140 doing a
00:16:48.440 martial art
00:16:48.920 that involves
00:16:49.320 a lot of
00:16:49.660 choke,
00:16:50.180 colds,
00:16:50.840 that sort
00:16:51.200 of stuff,
00:16:52.200 not going
00:16:52.540 to be good
00:16:52.840 for that
00:16:53.140 guy.
00:16:54.280 Or maybe
00:16:54.840 you've got
00:16:56.080 a bad
00:16:56.400 back,
00:16:57.180 maybe you've
00:16:57.580 got a
00:16:57.840 limp,
00:16:58.780 etc.
00:17:01.000 Know your
00:17:01.700 enemy,
00:17:02.360 know yourself,
00:17:03.440 and you
00:17:03.880 will always
00:17:04.680 be victorious.
00:17:07.100 Know what
00:17:07.700 your limitations
00:17:08.200 are.
00:17:10.020 Again,
00:17:10.920 if you're
00:17:11.260 shooting pool,
00:17:13.580 you're not
00:17:14.420 going to be
00:17:14.660 very aware of
00:17:15.260 your environment.
00:17:18.580 If you've
00:17:19.240 got a
00:17:19.960 limp,
00:17:22.100 then you
00:17:22.700 can't run.
00:17:24.680 So don't
00:17:25.460 walk down
00:17:26.160 a very long,
00:17:27.340 dark alley.
00:17:32.420 If you've
00:17:33.080 got a bad
00:17:33.560 jaw,
00:17:34.920 know that.
00:17:36.380 Or just a
00:17:36.920 glass jaw,
00:17:37.720 for crying out
00:17:38.320 loud.
00:17:38.580 You know,
00:17:40.000 if you
00:17:40.400 know
00:17:42.040 yourself,
00:17:44.640 know what
00:17:45.120 your limitations
00:17:45.680 are,
00:17:46.060 so you
00:17:46.920 can compensate
00:17:47.940 for them.
00:17:52.840 I'm not
00:17:53.400 exactly sure
00:17:54.060 what this
00:17:54.640 guy's bad
00:17:55.340 jaw entails,
00:17:56.380 but I'll tell
00:17:56.780 you what,
00:17:57.020 if you have
00:17:57.440 a glass
00:17:58.460 jaw,
00:18:00.020 okay,
00:18:00.280 as in,
00:18:01.140 you get
00:18:01.520 punched in
00:18:02.000 the jaw,
00:18:02.420 and it just
00:18:02.720 bonk,
00:18:03.620 knocks you
00:18:04.020 out.
00:18:05.340 Well,
00:18:06.040 get good
00:18:06.520 at blocking.
00:18:09.900 And,
00:18:10.460 you know,
00:18:10.860 despite the
00:18:11.380 Dane Cook
00:18:11.820 of martial
00:18:12.220 arts,
00:18:13.700 I'll tell
00:18:14.100 you,
00:18:14.220 my karate
00:18:14.620 training,
00:18:15.080 it's really,
00:18:15.840 really hard
00:18:16.240 to hit me.
00:18:17.340 And the
00:18:18.020 guy that
00:18:18.300 taught me,
00:18:18.740 I couldn't
00:18:19.060 hit him
00:18:19.560 to win a
00:18:20.460 bet.
00:18:20.680 train at
00:18:26.280 blocking,
00:18:26.780 train at
00:18:27.000 not being
00:18:27.460 there.
00:18:28.440 Train,
00:18:28.880 if you've
00:18:29.580 got a
00:18:30.180 major
00:18:30.660 vulnerability,
00:18:32.880 train
00:18:33.300 defensively.
00:18:36.780 Fight
00:18:37.340 defensively.
00:18:42.620 Alternatively,
00:18:43.500 if you're
00:18:43.900 small and
00:18:44.660 wiry,
00:18:45.740 it might
00:18:46.220 be good
00:18:46.620 to train
00:18:47.460 more
00:18:47.760 offensively,
00:18:48.600 because you're
00:18:48.820 going to be
00:18:49.020 harder to
00:18:49.400 hit anyway.
00:18:50.680 You know,
00:18:56.540 when you're
00:18:56.760 a young
00:18:57.040 man,
00:18:57.820 and you
00:19:00.080 first start
00:19:00.680 thinking about
00:19:01.620 all of this,
00:19:02.100 it's perfectly
00:19:02.520 natural to
00:19:03.220 get nervous.
00:19:04.660 Same thing,
00:19:05.420 it's perfectly
00:19:05.820 natural to
00:19:06.860 get nervous
00:19:07.640 approaching
00:19:08.440 girls when
00:19:09.460 you're a
00:19:09.720 young man.
00:19:12.600 But there's
00:19:13.260 something that
00:19:13.920 Chuck over
00:19:15.280 at SF
00:19:16.180 Debris,
00:19:17.520 he was
00:19:17.800 talking about
00:19:18.320 the guy
00:19:18.700 that plays
00:19:19.640 Lister
00:19:20.140 on Red
00:19:21.000 Dwarf.
00:19:22.000 And he
00:19:22.780 described him
00:19:23.360 as not
00:19:24.100 so much
00:19:24.440 aging,
00:19:25.500 as leveling
00:19:26.460 up over
00:19:27.840 the past
00:19:28.220 decade.
00:19:30.000 And that's
00:19:30.760 what you want
00:19:31.100 to aim
00:19:31.360 for.
00:19:32.360 And that
00:19:32.960 comes from
00:19:33.820 constantly
00:19:34.460 training,
00:19:36.580 constantly
00:19:37.000 challenging
00:19:37.560 yourself,
00:19:38.520 constantly
00:19:38.800 putting
00:19:39.060 yourself in
00:19:39.720 more
00:19:40.020 difficult
00:19:40.780 situations.
00:19:42.120 you know,
00:19:46.700 picking the
00:19:47.160 best martial
00:19:47.720 art and
00:19:49.260 training
00:19:49.840 until you're
00:19:51.300 a black
00:19:51.620 belt,
00:19:52.440 it won't
00:19:53.160 do you any
00:19:53.600 good if
00:19:53.880 you're a
00:19:54.120 coward.
00:19:56.400 There's a
00:19:57.040 huge difference
00:19:57.640 between sparring
00:19:58.440 and an actual
00:19:59.380 street fight.
00:20:02.180 It won't do
00:20:03.020 you any good
00:20:03.700 if you get
00:20:05.260 drunk all the
00:20:05.880 time and
00:20:06.860 leave yourself
00:20:07.460 vulnerable.
00:20:07.980 it won't
00:20:13.820 do you any
00:20:14.280 good if
00:20:17.640 you use it
00:20:18.140 to pick
00:20:18.420 fights all
00:20:18.960 the time
00:20:19.420 that you
00:20:20.020 shouldn't be
00:20:20.540 picking for
00:20:21.880 no reason
00:20:22.580 whatsoever.
00:20:23.480 You know,
00:20:23.760 the martial
00:20:24.240 art will just
00:20:24.720 wind you up
00:20:25.200 in prison.
00:20:30.920 If you
00:20:31.460 want to get
00:20:32.020 good,
00:20:34.080 you've got to
00:20:34.780 train
00:20:35.160 constantly.
00:20:36.960 You need to
00:20:37.780 have a
00:20:39.340 life oriented
00:20:39.980 on it and
00:20:40.300 not just
00:20:40.860 the martial
00:20:41.260 arts.
00:20:42.180 Okay,
00:20:42.320 that's one
00:20:42.800 aspect of
00:20:43.480 it.
00:20:44.340 I mean,
00:20:44.760 maybe if
00:20:45.140 you're going
00:20:45.480 military or
00:20:46.440 something like
00:20:46.860 that,
00:20:47.060 you can do
00:20:47.300 it exclusively.
00:20:48.960 But you
00:20:49.460 need to
00:20:49.700 challenge
00:20:49.980 yourself,
00:20:50.660 you need
00:20:50.880 to put
00:20:51.100 yourself in
00:20:51.760 different
00:20:52.240 difficult
00:20:54.260 situations.
00:20:56.360 You need
00:20:56.740 to develop
00:20:57.280 mental
00:20:58.260 toughness.
00:21:00.680 You know,
00:21:00.940 as the saying
00:21:01.460 goes,
00:21:01.880 it's not
00:21:02.320 the size
00:21:02.900 of the
00:21:03.300 dog in
00:21:04.260 the fight,
00:21:04.740 it's the
00:21:05.020 size of
00:21:05.360 the fight
00:21:05.640 in the
00:21:05.880 dog.
00:21:06.260 That's
00:21:07.920 the look
00:21:08.140 of the
00:21:08.360 samurai.
00:21:09.720 Being
00:21:10.320 willing to
00:21:11.520 go,
00:21:12.220 but also
00:21:12.820 being willing
00:21:14.440 to not
00:21:16.020 start stuff
00:21:16.760 if you
00:21:17.360 don't need
00:21:17.760 to.
00:21:20.200 You know,
00:21:20.460 and keep
00:21:21.320 in mind,
00:21:22.360 the people
00:21:24.020 you're worried
00:21:24.500 about,
00:21:25.340 the people
00:21:26.160 who are
00:21:26.620 going to
00:21:26.960 cause you
00:21:27.360 trouble,
00:21:28.220 with rare
00:21:30.100 exceptions,
00:21:31.380 once in a
00:21:33.320 million,
00:21:34.600 it's Mike
00:21:35.100 Tyson.
00:21:37.080 You know,
00:21:37.440 one time
00:21:38.000 I was
00:21:38.360 going door
00:21:38.880 to door
00:21:39.300 for the
00:21:40.160 gas company
00:21:40.820 and I
00:21:42.680 ran into
00:21:43.460 this roided
00:21:45.500 out psycho
00:21:46.240 who was
00:21:47.560 on the
00:21:48.240 verge of
00:21:48.700 having an
00:21:49.160 apoplectic
00:21:49.780 fit and
00:21:50.360 killing me.
00:21:51.060 It's like
00:21:51.300 jaw was
00:21:52.040 twitching and
00:21:53.000 you know,
00:21:54.060 he was the
00:21:54.360 size of
00:21:54.760 two Volvos.
00:21:56.060 You know,
00:21:56.240 that guy,
00:21:57.200 you know,
00:21:57.580 you don't
00:21:57.920 need to
00:21:58.280 fight that
00:21:58.720 guy.
00:21:58.980 You just
00:21:59.180 need to
00:21:59.440 be polite
00:21:59.960 to him
00:22:00.400 so he
00:22:00.940 doesn't
00:22:01.140 kill you.
00:22:01.640 generally
00:22:06.840 speaking,
00:22:07.900 that guy's
00:22:08.500 not the
00:22:09.020 problem.
00:22:09.960 He's not
00:22:10.660 the guy
00:22:11.000 you're worried
00:22:11.560 about.
00:22:13.700 You know,
00:22:14.340 usually,
00:22:15.360 people that
00:22:16.380 know how to
00:22:16.820 box,
00:22:17.300 how to
00:22:17.560 fight,
00:22:18.240 how to
00:22:18.720 whatever,
00:22:20.100 are not
00:22:20.500 Mike
00:22:20.740 Tysons.
00:22:22.140 They're
00:22:22.720 actually very
00:22:23.400 controlled
00:22:25.240 individuals.
00:22:26.320 the people
00:22:28.920 you're
00:22:29.240 worrying
00:22:29.580 about
00:22:29.940 are
00:22:31.380 the
00:22:31.920 degenerates,
00:22:33.080 the
00:22:33.280 drug
00:22:33.920 addicts,
00:22:34.840 the
00:22:35.160 people
00:22:36.500 whose
00:22:37.180 dad
00:22:38.220 left
00:22:38.440 their
00:22:38.640 mother
00:22:38.920 and
00:22:39.320 their
00:22:39.560 mother
00:22:39.820 hated
00:22:40.100 them
00:22:40.480 and
00:22:40.620 they're
00:22:40.760 just
00:22:40.940 lashing
00:22:41.580 out
00:22:41.920 at
00:22:42.480 the
00:22:42.600 world
00:22:42.840 at
00:22:43.020 large.
00:22:43.620 And
00:22:43.800 if they
00:22:43.980 actually
00:22:44.200 got
00:22:44.440 involved
00:22:44.940 in a
00:22:45.320 boxing
00:22:45.700 league
00:22:46.220 or
00:22:46.400 an
00:22:46.620 MMA
00:22:46.960 tournament,
00:22:48.300 they'd
00:22:48.620 find some
00:22:49.160 meaning
00:22:49.420 in life
00:22:49.860 and they
00:22:50.080 wouldn't
00:22:50.280 be a
00:22:50.780 problem
00:22:51.100 anymore.
00:22:52.920 But
00:22:53.440 because they
00:22:53.840 haven't,
00:22:54.440 they are
00:22:54.780 your
00:22:54.960 problem.
00:22:56.320 And
00:23:02.320 those
00:23:02.540 guys,
00:23:03.340 to a
00:23:04.100 large
00:23:04.280 extent,
00:23:04.600 you can
00:23:04.780 avoid
00:23:05.160 them by
00:23:05.880 not being
00:23:06.420 a soft
00:23:06.920 target,
00:23:08.700 by
00:23:09.660 locking
00:23:10.560 your
00:23:10.780 doors,
00:23:12.240 by
00:23:12.580 standing,
00:23:13.500 by
00:23:13.720 walking
00:23:14.700 in a
00:23:14.960 way
00:23:15.220 that they
00:23:16.760 know you're
00:23:17.060 going to
00:23:17.240 stand at
00:23:17.640 your
00:23:17.860 ground,
00:23:18.400 by being
00:23:18.900 aware
00:23:19.380 of your
00:23:20.100 environment.
00:23:22.280 Okay,
00:23:22.500 just looking
00:23:22.960 at the
00:23:23.140 guy and
00:23:23.360 saying,
00:23:23.540 hey,
00:23:23.660 why are
00:23:23.840 you trying
00:23:24.040 to sneak
00:23:24.260 behind
00:23:24.580 me?
00:23:26.320 They'll
00:23:27.120 run,
00:23:27.440 they're
00:23:27.840 cowards.
00:23:30.600 Not
00:23:31.080 putting
00:23:31.300 yourself
00:23:31.600 into
00:23:31.980 positions
00:23:32.520 where
00:23:32.800 you're
00:23:33.000 weak.
00:23:34.260 That's
00:23:34.720 how you
00:23:34.900 avoid
00:23:35.220 them.
00:23:35.460 but if
00:23:44.000 you do
00:23:44.260 have to
00:23:44.640 deal
00:23:44.840 with
00:23:45.040 them,
00:23:46.280 crush
00:23:48.520 them
00:23:48.900 fully
00:23:50.080 within
00:23:50.620 the
00:23:50.980 extent
00:23:51.400 of the
00:23:52.260 law.
00:23:53.800 Make
00:23:54.240 them bleed
00:23:54.640 a little
00:23:54.900 bit from
00:23:55.220 the forehead
00:23:55.680 so they
00:23:56.040 think twice
00:23:56.540 about doing
00:23:56.920 it to
00:23:57.140 somebody
00:23:57.420 else.
00:23:57.880 things.
00:24:01.620 But first
00:24:02.580 and foremost,
00:24:04.020 make sure
00:24:04.520 you
00:24:04.960 survive.
00:24:07.560 Fighting
00:24:08.300 in a
00:24:08.580 damn
00:24:08.800 video
00:24:09.100 game,
00:24:10.840 fighting
00:24:11.160 is
00:24:11.680 90%
00:24:12.960 psychological,
00:24:15.380 another
00:24:15.680 9%
00:24:16.400 strategic,
00:24:17.320 and it's
00:24:17.620 about 1%
00:24:18.560 actual
00:24:19.320 training.
00:24:21.080 So if
00:24:21.920 you do
00:24:22.160 all those,
00:24:24.000 stay out
00:24:24.520 of fights
00:24:25.020 that you
00:24:26.200 don't need
00:24:26.540 to be
00:24:26.760 in.
00:24:27.500 Get
00:24:27.720 over
00:24:27.940 yourself.
00:24:29.040 Okay?
00:24:31.640 Number
00:24:32.040 two,
00:24:33.420 pick any
00:24:34.120 one or
00:24:34.460 pick any
00:24:34.800 three martial
00:24:35.640 arts and
00:24:36.100 genuinely
00:24:36.500 train in
00:24:37.000 it.
00:24:37.580 It doesn't
00:24:37.840 need to
00:24:38.080 be the
00:24:38.360 best one.
00:24:39.280 You just
00:24:39.560 need to
00:24:39.780 be better
00:24:40.140 than the
00:24:40.440 guy you're
00:24:40.840 fighting.
00:24:42.400 Okay?
00:24:42.740 The best
00:24:43.120 gun to
00:24:43.400 have is
00:24:43.820 the one
00:24:44.080 that you
00:24:44.280 have in
00:24:44.600 your hand.
00:24:46.240 That's
00:24:46.640 the one
00:24:46.860 you're
00:24:47.000 going to
00:24:47.180 rely
00:24:47.480 upon.
00:24:49.400 And
00:24:49.800 three,
00:24:50.980 build up
00:24:51.420 that
00:24:51.580 psychological
00:24:52.100 toughness.
00:24:53.720 Get
00:24:53.940 yourself
00:24:54.360 used to
00:24:55.020 adversity.
00:24:56.540 Whether
00:24:56.780 it's
00:24:57.420 fighting
00:24:58.680 or picking
00:24:59.960 up girls
00:25:00.540 or just
00:25:01.400 showing up
00:25:01.860 at a new
00:25:02.220 job site
00:25:02.940 or a new
00:25:03.500 city
00:25:03.960 and surviving.
00:25:06.060 Get used
00:25:06.860 to mental
00:25:07.240 toughness
00:25:07.840 and learn
00:25:08.940 to command
00:25:10.020 your environment.
00:25:13.440 That's
00:25:13.960 how you
00:25:15.560 win every
00:25:16.240 fight
00:25:16.680 that you
00:25:18.160 ever get
00:25:18.560 into.
00:25:19.760 And you
00:25:20.340 don't get
00:25:20.800 into the
00:25:21.160 fights that
00:25:21.580 you're
00:25:22.300 going to
00:25:22.580 lose.
00:25:24.360 Hope that
00:25:24.980 was useful,
00:25:25.540 brother.
00:25:27.400 Deus
00:25:27.740 Volt,
