REAL Tough Guys Don't Fight—What They Do Instead Will Save Your Life
After fighting in the ring and in the street, I’ve learned that real tough guys don’t get into fights. They do something WAY more difficult when things look like they’ll get heated.
After my last few videos on fighting, I realized something crucial: the toughest guys I know don't fight-they do something way more powerful.
In this video, I break down:
🥊 Why the "fair fight" era is dead (and what replaced it)
🥊 The EXACT response that defuses 90% of confrontations
🥊 A shocking road rage story from my hometown that changes everything
🥊 Two simple habits that make you virtually untouchable
🥊 The counter-intuitive truth about avoiding violence (from someone who fought professionally)
Plus, I'll share ...

The Importance of Staying Level-Headed in The Streets
I knew a guy who ran a block in prison. He mandated that every inmate under his authority run on the track first thing every rec period. One new fish complained to his big homie that the dude was making him m run and the big homie told him "Then you run!" There are many situations in prison where you're going to have to run away to live! This came from the biggest and toughest dude in the prison.
Ha that's good leadership, even in prison
The worst person to get into with is a guy with NOTHING to lose and/or everything to prove.
Yep! That's an explosive situation waiting to happen
This guy gives really good advice
Just dropping useful game!
Well said!
Thanks yo!
Sitting! ❤❤❤❤❤
Always appreciating the love
I find your content to be practical. Thank you. I agree that some people can’t separate their emotions from their ego and it gets them and the people they encounter into deadly situations. Your advice isn’t just for managing extreme situations. I was at the grocery store, parked and talking on my phone. A woman pulled her cart between my car and hers and opened her door resting it on my car. I politely rolled down my window and asked her to move her door off of my car and she went off. I got out of my car and she grabbed my door and it got physical. She felt justified because she needed to put her groceries in her car. What? I eventually deescalated the situation. Got back in my car and waited for her and her husband to leave before I went into the store. I lived to laugh about it, but really, things could have gone very wrong. Your message is clear to me. I understand you and thank you.
Wow that grocery store story is actually crazy. Happy youade the smart choice to live another day.
Truth...get in the gym fellas. I'm 5-6 but jacked and bullies don't even dream of f'n around
That's what I'm talking about. I hate dudes who complain about being short,. Some of the most bad ass fighters are 5'6"
@EdLatimore1 when you're short you've been messed with your whole life and have tons of fighting experience. For all the bullies out there beware of short dudes and don't think you won't get laid the fk out

nine mind
I’d say it a different way . Learn how to fight well in a martial art , do everything you can reasonably to avoid a fight . If the fight is unavoidable win the fight
That's how you get better at fighting.
Those last words were some of the wisest things I’ve heard in a long time
Thanks!
BS! The "little head" excuse is a juvenile logic fallacy. What's the excuse when you make a bad financial decision? Your "little wallet" made you do it? Speak to adults like adults, using proper medical/psychology/sociology terms. Who is your target audience? Teenagers? There are 50 million reasons why a man makes a bad relationship decision. "Birds of a feather flock together." Meaning, people tend to associate with people of the same economic/education/emotional/location/religious/social status. Your argument seems to let women, who have their own 50 million reasons, off the relationship hook. What do you tell women, "You let your clit think you into 3 kids and 2 baby daddies?" Continue...
I bullied the bullies trying to bully me
On the city train a black man walked past me and said "Cute" now I know why. But that isn't in a prison so I didn't say anything. In retrospect I think that man probably felt more foolish realizing that people outside of prison take it literally and think you're the one thats gay.
Hahaha yo I had a discussion with my boy who was inside after he saw this video. He was explaining to me that stuff that might seem sus on the outside is normal in jail. I was like, well now...haha
This is a great reason why Jordan Peterson said that men "are monsters" and "must become the monster" and then "learn to control it". Mothers have a right to be concerned about their boys learning violence but their intervention can be the difference between creating an oppressed man and a STRONG man. The mother should be more interested in teaching kindness to the monsters they SHOULD become. The fathers must teach the sons to harness the violence, BUT ALSO the discipline it takes to wield the violence.
No disrespect, but when people see you I don't think they see danger
Weird reply considering what the video is about. And I mean the following with a degree of disrespect, but I don't think people see you at all-as dangerous or otherwise, hence this very odd comment.
Straight talk
Martial arts in general will give you more confidence and the ability to speak up and stand up for yourself. Especially boxing or Muay Thai
"Kids used to call me Congo"... Like damn
It's wild shit haha
I’ve noticed that avoiding low vibrational evil people is the best resort. Be able to pick up on the subtle signs of a low vibrational person and get away from them.
I agree. Unfortunately, we don't always have that luxury
@ you are 100% correct

Welcome!
Bro you are a blessing!
I HATE bullies intensely and have been training in martial arts and self defense. Been doing MMA and BJJ for several years. Also practice “verbal jiu jitsu” in front of the mirror and writing. Writing is a very powerful tool and it let’s out a lot of your pent up ideas out.

Fa sho
I’m blessed to be a bigger man with martial arts experience and a handsome face. Still doesn’t save me from getting roasted tho 😂
I agree with the idea of the predator seeking the weak. But I disagree with the part of registering your hands when you reach a level. The idea is similar to your analogy of using a gun. Everyone should be able to defend themselves to help deter predators.
Martial arts helped me a lot. It helped me stand up and conquer 2 bullies in my lifetime. Yes, physical training and mma is a necessary life skill for a man.
The more willing you are to fight, the less likely you will have to.
How to end up in jail starter kit......
Just say you didn't watch the video. Or you literally can't understand English
@EdLatimore1 I'm only playin 🤣 not everyone is being mean 😁
If someone tried to fight me I would definitely fight back to I understand. Even if I lose just so I don't have to dwell on it 💁♂️
I was just tryna make someone somewhere laugh 😁
Haha my bad bro
The way I defeated bullying was realizing they want to do it in secret. At least school bullies. They wanted to push people around but not cause a scene so they get in trouble. So, I made absolutely SURE there would be a scene. Whether you did nothing and got beat up or kicked the crap out if someone you got in trouble anyway so I decided to make it worth my while. Always fight back. Always. It will quit.
You know crazy i did most of my when i was in elementary school from 98-00 every day from 1st grade to 2 i was held back a year after i get off the bus i had to fight sometimes i get jumped and you another messed up thing my older brother sometimes would watch and didn't say or do anything
Lot of times that's scary for kids, even if it's their bro or sis. Not excusing it, but I get it.
like the Chessboard on the wall, being capable to do damage is an important first impression

@@JessicaFranco1 thank you!
People ask me why I carry a machete instead of relying on my hands or using a more clever improvised weapon. My answer is simple: I'm not planning to win a fight, I'm planning to prevent a fight. I've done martial arts my whole life, and I can say confidently that fighting doesn't stop future fights. Having a machete on my hip does.
