      He always struck me as a pure 'mirror your energy' type of guy. If you're nice and friendly with him, he'll be nice and friendly with you. If you want to be a dick and look for trouble, he has no problem doing that either.

    @Yukihao_7 Month ago +397

    I saw his tutorial on real street fighting scenarios, using the environment and techniques together and it was cool and terrifying at the same time. But the most important lesson he taught is "if you can avoid or run away from the fight, then run. Because there's nothing to gain on a street fight, no prize money, no title, no belt, just nasty injuries" something along those lines.

      @inthefade Month ago +1

      Yes totally! Part of you knows he is a good guy with incredible control, so he isn't going to hurt you unless it is on purpose. But then that energy that feels as if nothing can contain it just makes me feel like a bomb is going to go off at any moment. I love the guy. I'll have to rewatch his MMA career again some time soon.

    • @DONOTREJECTJESUSCHRIST
      @DONOTREJECTJESUSCHRIST Month ago +6

    I remember an episode of Fight Science I think it was called. They measured the kinectic energy of kicks, so they called in Bas. After the first kick the lab guys came out and said you have to do that again because I don't believe the results. So he kicked again, harder this time. The lab guys came out confused and said a kick from Bas is worse than a car crash. It was a funny show. lol

      @allosaurusfragilis7782 29 days ago +22

      Well, thats misleading. I'd chose a kick from a human, or even a horse, before being run over by any car, even a little one. Because of mass and velocity.
      At the actual point of impact, the square inch or two involved , then yes, its possible his kick delivered more force than that part of the vehicle. But the overall force from the vehicle will kill you, or rag doll you metres through the air.
      That's why I find these claims a bit silly.

    • @TrevorTrove
      @TrevorTrove 29 days ago +13

      ​@allosaurusfragilis7782I bet you he's kick force is harder than the force of a human hitting a airbag in a car while they have their seat on. As opposed to his kick force is more powerful than getting hit by a car as a pedestrian

    • @mirojone
      @mirojone 28 days ago +13

    I trained with Bas at Legend GYM on the corner of La Brea/Hollywood Blvd early in my fight journey. Its 15 years later and still surreal. The man taught me techniques that helped in sparring every day literally. Specifically a rolling Knee bar that was so sneaky I subbed 100s with it. Also shared personal stories with me so crazy that I am not comfortable sharing here...What a life... LONG LIVE BAS RUTTEN! LEGEND

    • @kravjitssig7291
      @kravjitssig7291 Month ago +28

      Same here, I trained with him one time back in 2003 and still use knowledge I learned from him, to this day and have ever since. He's the realest of the real. Much like him, I moved around a lot and had bully problems at school and also watched Bruce Lee movies when I was young. So I started my lifelong martial arts journey in 1982 and am still training at 55.
      I've trained with many world champions and well known fighters, like world champion kickboxers Jim Graden, Joe Lewis, Kathy Long, and Benny Urquidez, along with Royce Gracie, Darren Levine, Frank Shamrock, Rigan Machado, Travis Lutter, and others who are less known, but Bas was the most hard hitting, impactful, charismatic, funny, and thorough fighter/ trainer I've ever trained with.
      My only regret is that it was only a one time thing, because he was just in town for a martial arts conference and Frank Shamrock's ShootBox event. People who get to train with him on a regular basis are blessed, powerful, and skilled. And on top of all of that, he's also a great person to party with...lol. Back in the day, he could drink everyone under-the-table the night before and show up at 6 a.m. ready to train hard. Truly a Living Legend. RESPECT!

      He also hits the bag fairly high.. it's not hard to hit a heavy bag lower down and push the punch, causing it to swing, but from what I could see, he hits it high and with a solid snap, so no pushing.
