00:00:00.400 Greetings Laddingtons! Today I want to talk a bit about a lot of things, a lot
00:00:07.440 of things in regards to martial arts and violence and fighting etc and I
00:00:13.320 thought to make this video since I've talked quite a bit about this as of late.
00:00:17.040 Of course due to the deteriorating state of our societies most of us who are
00:00:24.480 watching this I am sure you can relate to it when I say a multicultural Gotham
00:00:30.420 City. So basically since I have encouraged a lot of you to train MMA, Thai
00:00:36.360 boxing, boxing etc I want to make this video to clarify a few things and I also
00:00:42.580 want to clarify something that have been something that's been bothering me for a
00:00:49.140 while and that is the mentality you know tough guys having a tough mentality. I
00:00:54.780 personally I have never claimed to be a tough guy I've never claimed to be a
00:00:59.040 warrior or an alpha or anything of the sort. I do see myself as a philosopher
00:01:06.100 prince so when I talk about these things it is as a philosopher of sorts if I may
00:01:13.680 be so bold as to describe myself in such terms. But anyway if I say to you that I
00:01:20.400 can sink a battleship with my right crosshair I don't say it because I want
00:01:24.840 to seem cool or because I want to seem like a tough guy I say it because it has
00:01:29.160 some bearing in reality it has some bearing in the primordial truth and it's
00:01:34.860 a simple matter of physics I can generate enough force to generate a
00:01:40.360 powerful blow and when I say sink a battleship I of course mean it
00:01:44.440 metaphorically it's from a an Irish rebel song where they sing about a strongman
00:01:51.520 who can sink a battleship with his punch and I thought it was a fun fun metaphor
00:01:56.980 to use so basically what I want to say is if you have some sort of tough guy who
00:02:04.100 talks about his mentality or who thinks he's really invincible what you need to
00:02:11.360 keep in mind is that everyone can be knocked out some guys are harder to knock
00:02:17.480 out and some guys are easier to knock out because of how they're built but
00:02:21.680 ultimately at the end of the day you can get knocked out and this goes both ways I
00:02:27.540 know full well that if I were to compete in MMA again yeah I will fight a guy
00:02:33.360 similar size as I am which means that if he lands a clean shot on my chin I will
00:02:39.540 get knocked out therefore I need to keep my hands up same thing you never know if
00:02:45.240 you encounter someone somewhere he might possess some real power in his fists so
00:02:51.940 therefore you need to keep your guard up and not overestimate yourself so what
00:02:58.060 you keep what you need to keep in mind is that you shall not you should not
00:03:02.800 underestimate yourself and you should not overestimate yourself so keep your guard
00:03:08.260 up in in all such situations and and also if you need to deal with a tough guy
00:03:15.340 with a hard mentality maybe he looks really dangerous maybe he walks around
00:03:20.260 being really aggressive you know it doesn't matter his mentality will not
00:03:25.600 save him from getting knocked out if you land a clean shot or if you land a knee
00:03:30.640 on his chin he will fall asleep and then he will regret having been cocky and
00:03:38.440 arrogant and aggressive it's just the way it is his mentality will count for
00:03:43.480 nothing if you have a superior technique if you have superior strength power
00:03:49.780 athleticism simple stuff really and this of course goes again both ways so don't
00:03:58.720 overestimate yourself either so for me personally I don't go around thinking
00:04:02.440 that I'm so invincible all the time I have a very acute sense of humility that you
00:04:08.200 know if I'm not careful if I were to fight someone if I'm not careful if I drop my
00:04:13.000 hands because I'm arrogant yeah then bad things will happen and if you watch UFC
00:04:20.320 you can see this a lot of times someone is really cocky drops hands and then
00:04:24.700 immediate karma because he has been arrogant towards his opponent so that's
00:04:31.900 the first thing I wanted to mention in this highly enlightening video the second
00:04:39.340 part is when I say to you that you should train Thai boxing boxing Brazilian
00:04:45.700 jiu-jitsu MMA whatever it might be you can train for two reasons one is for
00:04:52.100 self-defense for predicaments on the street or wherever it might be then you
00:04:57.940 can also train to actually compete in that given sport and this is it depends
00:05:05.080 from club to club how they train but you need to be cautious that you train all
00:05:13.180 the time to accommodate for your goals so if your goals are to just you know being
00:05:20.320 able to take care of yourself in a tight situation in unarmed combat yeah then it
00:05:25.640 might be a good idea to not focus so much on sports specific aspect of it all but you
00:05:33.160 actively think okay is this something that will serve me well in a street
00:05:38.020 predicament so if we're talking about Brazilian jiu-jitsu some guys might be
00:05:42.520 comfortable jumping into guard directly but you know try that on a pavement and
00:05:50.080 then his your opponent's mate will come and kick you in the head so you can't
00:05:54.280 really apply a lot of these sports specific techniques to a violent predicament
00:06:02.320 that appears somewhere else and also if we're talking about cardio if someone said do you
00:06:08.560 want to go a Thai boxing match in a week I would say no because I don't have the
00:06:12.320 cardio for it I freely admit my cardio is not up to par to fight for 25 minutes or even 15 minutes
00:06:21.400 but that's also something you need to keep in mind most predicaments will be maybe 15 seconds
00:06:28.600 or one minute at the most so you don't really need to have the same level of cardio as you would
00:06:37.020 have for a Thai boxer who competes now if you are a Thai boxer and you compete in Thai boxing I salute you
00:06:44.740 I tip my pickle hubby to you and you will of course be in a very good position if someone should come at you
00:06:50.980 on the street but if you are in a more tight situation in terms of time and you want to optimize
00:06:57.540 just being able to defend yourself on the street yeah then it might be better to put on some mass
00:07:02.880 now for me if I got if someone said you know what you will get a lot of money if you fight in a Thai
00:07:09.760 boxing match in two months I would focus very much on cardio and very much on Thai boxing itself
00:07:16.240 I wouldn't necessarily train any in the gym because it would be more important for me at that
00:07:23.020 with that goal to have a better cardio but if we're talking about just handling yourself in a 15
00:07:32.620 seconds to one minute scrap yeah it's better if you have mass because the more mass you have the
00:07:38.640 harder you can punch simple physics again the more mass you can add into this punch the harder it
00:07:49.620 will be the higher chances that you will knock your opponent out so if you are in a situation where you
00:07:56.760 just care about you know what you want to be Batman in Gotham City because it's really rough or if you go to
00:08:03.180 a school that also reminds everyone about Gotham City yeah it might be a better idea to put on size
00:08:09.960 and then add the technique instead of focusing so much on the cardio because I don't think you will
00:08:15.640 ever be in a physical confrontation that lasts for 25 minutes even though again I have massive respect for
00:08:23.700 guys who fight for 25 minutes certainly not something I would want to do now another aspect of your
00:08:33.000 mentality and not overestimating yourself is that fighting is not rocket science it doesn't have to be
00:08:42.540 more complicated than learning how to throw a left hook in a straight cross throw a couple of knees
00:08:48.600 from the clinch maybe do some sort of judo throw or something but everything beyond that point if you
00:08:57.840 think that you in a real fight will use a lot of fancy techniques you have learned in Krav Maga and I do
00:09:04.380 endorse Krav Maga I've trained it in the army I think it's great as well but ultimately what you want
00:09:10.800 to do is you want to be able to do a few things and you want to be able to do them in a good way it's
00:09:18.660 not rocket science it's not particularly complicated what happens you want to be able to generate as much
00:09:23.700 force as possible with your hands at a short distance to your opponent's face so instead of
00:09:29.560 getting a false sense of security from dangerous forbidden techniques they don't work they work against
00:09:38.400 someone who doesn't know what you're doing then you can do fish hooks and point in someone's eyes but
00:09:45.060 if you look try to do that against a an aggressive boxer who is coming at you no it doesn't work so
00:09:52.140 instead of having a false sense of security by secret techniques there are no secrets techniques
00:09:58.740 there are just you know the force you can generate in your fists that being said of course it's good to
00:10:05.700 train Krav Maga for a number of reasons but I'm just keeping it simple here you know focus on the
00:10:11.280 basics same thing as I said in my video on female self-defense you know you should drill in to your body
00:10:18.000 getting your gun from your hip pulling it out shoot if you do it even the most timid and nice of girls
00:10:26.100 will be absolutely lethal because you need to train your mind without thinking it's just a reflex you pull it up
00:10:33.840 and shoot the gun same thing if we're talking about unarmed self-defense just drill in a few different
00:10:40.500 things combination of punches left hook straight cross and another left hook really simple again
00:10:48.900 it's not rocket science it's not something that you need to overly stress about and again these sort of
00:10:56.640 really fancy techniques not something you should rely upon and also if we're talking about grappling I
00:11:03.960 love grappling myself but I also know if you end up on the pavement with your opponent yeah he's two
00:11:13.680 three four mates will come and kick you in the head so if you have a high degree of skill in grappling
00:11:22.440 you still can't use it all too much in such a situation one-on-one of course it's a different
00:11:27.520 thing but you all know that in these situations they don't really fight one-on-one so it's better to
00:11:35.520 focus on your boxing on your Thai boxing on your striking getting it over with as fast as possible
00:11:41.840 then a last note on gym training I often say that gym training will translate very well into martial
00:11:51.320 endeavors and you can just take a little fun example if you have a guy you need to physically
00:11:58.280 move out of your way because you want to make space for whatever reason you know you need to
00:12:03.360 get to one place to another place and if you want to push him that is very similar to a bench press
00:12:11.540 so if you can have a strong bench press you will be able to push people now of course this isn't
00:12:16.540 something you could use in an MMA match but in a street predicament these sort of things really
00:12:23.000 useful same thing as picking someone up physically removing him you will be greatly you will be greatly
00:12:30.900 aided by a good level of strength same thing I've said this before in terms of judo and street fighting
00:12:38.820 you know if you throw someone in an MMA match on a nice floor it's one thing but if you throw someone
00:12:44.640 on hard pavement with a judo throw yeah he will be in a world of problems then also if we're talking
00:12:52.940 about building a strong physique you will be much better at with withstanding punishment withstanding
00:13:01.860 punches etc even such a thing as getting into a car accident the more well trained you are the better
00:13:07.420 your chances of survival and healing of course also so if I talk about you know the gym in regards to
00:13:15.100 physical confrontations it's I'm not talking about an MMA match or a Thai boxing match I'm talking about
00:13:21.540 this sort of short confrontations that can happen anywhere you know you just want to push someone
00:13:27.880 as fast as possible you want to grab someone and pull him away from someone else these sort of things
00:13:33.560 strength training comes in very very effectively so that is my little rant I hope it was somewhat
00:13:43.880 informative at least but basically the takeaway points are the following mentality accounts for
00:13:50.360 nothing when someone lands a clean shot or when you land a clean shot so if someone goes around being all
00:13:55.040 dangerous and cool a punch on his bottom yeah it will put him to sleep no matter how cool he thinks
00:14:01.940 he is same thing focus on the basics it's not rocket science it's a few punches a few techniques you
00:14:11.260 can learn the better you can do it and if you can get it into your automatic response on a stressful
00:14:17.840 situation absolutely perfect because then you can actually execute it instead of focusing on some
00:14:23.160 forbidden dangerous techniques that won't work because you're not fighting a training doll you're
00:14:27.560 fighting an aggressive opponent then also if you get more muscular more jacked always better to
00:14:35.960 always better than to not be muscular and jacked and strong and athletic and then also if you train
00:14:42.600 a martial art make sure it is congruent with your goals in terms of self-defense so you don't focus
00:14:49.560 on the sport specific training of it all so anyway thank you for watching xx so
