2. I can’t wait for self defense championship season 2🎉🎉

3. This was so cool

4. The best martial art for street fighting is to be as physically fit, strong, and athletic as possible. That alone will get you through 95% of one-on-one attacks. All other martial arts are useless in a real, chaotic street fight where anything goes. The odds of being assaulted by a trained fighter are so extremely low as to be almost non-existent. Simply DO NOT get into mutual combat with another adult male outside of a gym ring. If you do then you deserve whatever happens to you. If you're ever attacked by a lone male he'll almost always be intoxicated, delusional, desperate, or all of the above. An untrained yet very fit, strong, athletic athlete with great balance and endurance will almost always prevail over an attacker who has some fight training but is out of shape, weaker, and less coordinated. I grew up in San Diego and we learned very quickly to never challenge a brand-new Marine fresh out of USMC boot camp or SEAL right out of BUD/S. You'd be better off fighting a retired MMA guy.

5. 6:13

6. It's interesting to compare the different responses to the knife scenario. Jeff has had generally pretty strong performance overall in what I've seen from this competition, but in this case I think that he should not have been given the point, especially comparing his performance to the other contestants. Even if he went on to win the fight after being stabbed multiple times, that probably ends up having much worse consequences in real life than just handing over your wallet like some people did!

7. Rokas Aikido'd those guys without even realising 😅

8. Worte martial arts pro mma fighter

9. 5:30

10. Ving Tsun !!!

11. where's savate?

12. Fighting multiple people, you have to go 1000% and be insanely aggressive and violent. Jeff did a good job.

13. Mike is a tiny dude! Attitude and training matters. Wish I had his mojo.

14. Actually the knife part, the robbery part, it depend on the situation, the attacker and defender,not all attacker are that tough. i was once in that situation when first Iphone 3 out, i was 18 years old and just back from karate training.At back alley suddenly a guy with motocycle with helmet rob me with knife, i did not give in instead attack back viciously, the rest are history. That guy who try to rob me suffer so much damage, not from me but people from coffee shop who saw what happen and ask me why i attack him and i told them he try to rob me, so many join in to beat him, and police, the moment they arrive first give straight a kick to the face. he suffer crack on his head with blood, broken arm because one of the guy took his motocrycle and drop it on his hand, then the police give that guy a flying kick while telling all of us to relax. I felt pity on him while he is crying and told myself i should give in my iphone 3, probably he wont suffer that way. I felt bad for him

15. All of you guys are super impressive. The thing that particularly surprised me was the knife attacker — the guys who fought actually did pretty well, unlike in the Shank Tank episode where basically everyone got crushed. I wonder if it was a difference in the equipment / rules / something else?

16. This was excellent!

17. That kick to the knife was dope man!!

18. More people should watch this. Re post it everywhere please

19. I love how most of these guys could kill you in 5 seconds yet they all seem like super nice people 😂

20. kevin lee would've been such a cool guest

21. Rokas, there are many parts to a journey. I am certain you know this. I just watched a video you did about wanting to believe anyone can be a fighter, or something to that extent. You seemed to get news you didn't want or like so much. Here I see that same emotion or reaction when none of the other fellas picked you to win the whole thing. I think the fact that you keep showing up, that's what it takes to be a fighter. Cus D'Amato once said, "The hero and the coward both feel the same thing. But the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It is the same thing. Fear. It's what you do with it that matters." I would challenge this statement a bit and say you could replace fighter with hero and have the same outcome. I think of it like this, making the right choice in the face of adversity, that's what makes you a fighter. I also think you might need to hear this quote from Cus as well, "To see a man not beaten by a better opponent, but by himself is a tragedy."

    With all that being said, Rokas, you may not see you as a fighter, but I do. Also, you are a great teacher and guide. I would have never known of Sensei Seth, Jeff Chan, Wonderboy, Houston Jones, Jesse Enkamp, Oliver Enkamp, Sweet T, Kevin Lee, Ramsey, or Icy Mike without you. From watching you and seeing who you include in your circle opened my journey and included all of them by proxy of you. Thank you, Rokas.

22. Jeff is a friggin beast. Holy cow, that guy moves.

23. I'm a little sad nobody tried booking it out the door. But still, this is good shit.

24. I threw a knee probably harder than I should have and i felt bad about it. So I threw several more knees.

25. Obviously this is WAY late, but I would like to know how long of a rest there was between the fights? I would guess from the video anywhere between 15-30 seconds, but I can't be sure.

26. I guess we don't follow Mike's advices anymore.

27. Jeff Chan! Wow.

28. jeff shouldnt have gottn the point for the knife round. he got stabbed like 6 times. He would be dead.

29. 3:10 i like how these two went from having online tension to acting like brothers just playing in their dad's shed with his carpentry tools lmao

30. Quando vão tirar as artes marciais das mão desses palhaços? Nenhum daí é representante de nenhuma arte tradicional.

31. Why was it considered a loss when his headgear was turned? If it was a real situation he would've still been fighting, he wouldn't have headgear, I love these videos but that was a bad call, he should've gotten another chance.

32. How do I get in on season 2! I'm ready! lol

33. This is the best thing ive watched on YouTube

34. My strategy against muggers is stay alert and give them what they want.

    Many times I've been shamed and looked down at when I tell the tale, back then that made feel bad, even though I know made the right choice. With this video, I realize I was just talking to a bunch of idiotic assholes.

35. Just noticed you can see Jesse Enkamp on the USDC flag in the room. Must have been planned to show but couldn't make it. So glad he's coming for Season 2!

36. Mike is the friend everyone wants and needs and hes even better the more people hes around.

37. That was a silly call on the headgear being backwards you can still fight if you cant see.

38. Need to have distinguishable uniforms of some type for the camera. Most of the time I had no idea who was who.

39. Rosas, you've come a lang way since your feelings told you, Aikido is no good for self defense. But you are asking still the wrong questions. Martial arts for self defense…. there is no art in violence. Most of what i see world wide is making things worse, not better. I'd rather go with Mick Coup or Richard Dimitri. To much technique is not what people need for reality. But that's only my opinion. But my own experience backs my bias pretty good. Back than when i Was always searching for more technique, i always felt insecure. Nowadays, i have a game plan, bcs i know self defense is 95% mentally, and just a handful of techniques, wich i am very confident about.

40. ngl they cheated my bro ramsey
