Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey RUclips channel!
My name is Rokas. I'm a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my RUclips channel called "Martial Arts Journey".
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

"Well thats reasonable, it's really hot in the summer here in Australia..." such a Ramsey Dewey thing to say. Pure gold. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh COME ON! Matt was the only one being realistic and he did well! Do you think if something like this happens it would happen with the door wide open!? Those 3 Pts for Matt broke my heart !
“Was I the only one there who was legitimately concerned about my job in that scenario?” Ramsy had me rolling with that line! 😂
Now I understand when they say Ramsey is more Ramsey that they expected :v
I would probably have not realised what was being suggested until pretty late myself (except for the fact that it was a scenario). Like I have legit been told I have been on dates before and not realised it was a date. That would make it much harder to stay safe in this scenario.
Ramsey is like an anime protagonist who only cares about becoming the very best and would not notice women throwing themselves at him.
Yeee lol. I was thinking the same. In my earlier years when I didn’t have much cash I would have probably banged her to keep my job even if she was uglier irl.
Makes me wish Ramsey and Master Wong could be friends. I'm not sure how this is at all related.
Mike truly earning the 'icy' name. That was some cool-headed exit excuse there man. I'm in awe
He hit her with the cold shoulder.
Meh. So unprepared. Every one of these would have gone better if he led with a flashbang. Maybe tear gas for the office.
"excuse" ahahahah
@@kd5nrhYeah, but realistically, in an actual zombie apocalypse, or any "apocalypse" for that matter, VERY FEW people are going to be ready, or prepared in any way, let alone prepared enough to have flashbangs to clear rooms and take down buildings. 99.99% are going to have whatever is on their person when the SHTF. Lol just sayin...
DUDDEEE!!
The 3rd scenario is BY FARR THE MOST UNDERRATED ONE IN THE SERIES.
Hats off to the guy who came up with it.
This is what truly holistic self defence means 🙏
Jeff Phillips is the brilliant mind behind the scenarios 😊
I was low key hoping for Seth landing a fade to black ending
Yes running away is usually the best self defense. But deescalation is just as important and being able to calm people down. Having worked as a security guard I solved 90% of all “threatening” situations with talking calm but strict. One thing they have not touched on yet is a thing that happened when I was working at a hospital as a security guard late at night. I found a drug addict in the church room and he was sleeping and I could see he was high as fuck with needles everywhere. I was going to remove him out of the hospital when I noticed he had a machete just beside him. So instead of taking him out myself i locked him in the room and called the police and waited for them to bring him out. Locking someone in and wait for assistance is also very good in self defense situations.
I've been in a very similar situation in the past, and I lost my job because she cried wolf right after. Managment didn't even listen to my side of the story. This is a very real scenario for men that we don't hear too much about. It's much more difficult to navigate.
I have had that 3rd scenario IRL but it was one of my employee coming on to me. It's all about disengage the situation.
Ramsy not picking up on the flirting until she was practically sitting on him was hilarious
Everyone was in his shoes once
Tbh it would have taken me long to get it as well . But hanging around with a lot of girls you start to get faster than you realize 😂
Well it was a rather warm time of year 😂
ramsay is basically how i would react lol i would be extremely confused
Am I the only one here who would sleep with her to keep my job?xD
Round of applause for the improvisation by MJ(?) she did a fantastic job putting life into these scenarios.
100%!
Actors are gona act. And I really believed the roles she played.
I don't think she followed the yes and rule.
@@ValleyDragon What’s that?
Her actin' skills brought life to each scenario, she was a pro at that shit. She's quick witted with improv, she fairly cute, too. I thought you were sensei not sensitive had me lmao.
MJ the "Girlfriend" @ 8:25 "I thought you were Sensei not Sensitive!" 🤣😂 She deserves an Oscar
Seeing Rokas and Ramsey completely missing the cues in the third scenario for the longest time was just hilarious.
I didn't miss the cues, I just thought she had killer intentions 😄
@Pa Mu 😢
@@MartialArtsJourney Were you picturing some "Basic Instinct" scenario where she was gonna come on to you and then start stabbing you with the pen when you turned her down? 😆
@@MartialArtsJourneyOh she had killer intentions alright 😂
Would have been way funnier if one of them actually said “sure, let’s entertain this” 😏😏
I like how Ramsey is the biggest roleplayer of them all. You could tell him he is portraying a wizard and he will try to be that wizard.
I think Ramsey being worried about his job, thats a very important point imo. Since you guys are immersed in the championship, you're conditioned to always fight or run from the fight as quickly as possible, but irl I think that would be a bigger factor in you decision-making
I agree. If you really had to worry about losing your job the way the judges scored that is all wrong. In that scenario if you walk out, what are you going to do file a complaint with HR? Not 1 person will believe you.
The thing is, if you go along with it, your jogb is still in danger, because if things go south, the other party will go to HR and claim you were the one who harassed them. The best solution is to get out and go to HR, and hope they actually do their job, and are not just there to provide a semblance of compliance.
Nobody asked to have their Union Representative present?
@@killersalmon4359 Agreed. I still think the best thing is to disengage immediately.
She was undoing her buttons and Ramsey was thinking, "oh, she must feel hot, I guess" 🤣
I love how Jeff told his “significant other” to “shut the fuck up”
Fr Jeff handled it perfectly
if u love someone , sometimes u need to shut them up
It was happy d3 ticket man that told her that. Jeff just said you go over there
Mike's reaction to the boss situation was the best, but you'd definitely need a long term strategy after that.
yeah reporting it to hr
@@lusteraliaszero I agree. I was just saying that the situation is not done until you follow up and action is taken. If you don't follow up it'll only be worse in the future.
@@jatbatman fair enough, pretty true.
@@lusteraliaszero Google "HR is not your friend." She is the boss. She is who HR reports too, and she is who decides what HR does. She decides how much the HR employees are paid. She is decided when they are fired. She decides what reports are passed up to the owners, if any, and she can take action on the reports without notifying anyone above her in 99% of companies.
HR has one and only one job: make sure employees are being productive. If you are feeling bad about your boss, you are not productive, so you need to go. If you are threatening lawsuits against the boss, you are threatening lawsuits against the company, and you are threatening lawsuits against *them.* HR works for the company. They are part of the thing you are threatening to harm by reporting these things.
So HR takes the report, tries to trick you into signing away your right to sue, then fires you. There job is to get rid of troublesome boat rocking employees, not to help them. If you have a complaint against a co-worker and you think it can't be solved peaceably (and if it can, do it yourself) only go to HR *if you know you are more important than who you're complaining against.* HR only has one job, do whats best for the company, and if there is a spat between two employees the one that's most useful is the one that stays. Period.
It's xxxxing crazy how often people think HR is supposed to protect employees. They're not cops. They don't enforce laws. They don't make legal complaints on your behalf. They are employees of the company who are under the orders and control of the company for the benefit of the company.
@@lusteraliaszero or flipping her round faster than you can say hr and showing her who the real boss is
There'a something truly amazing in being able to create an ultimate self defense tournament, and actually addressing the many different nuanced and not necessarily violent aspects of self defense. Knowing how to fight doesn't guarantee you safety from sexual harassment or infections from crazed poop covered lunatics. As impressed as I was with every episode, this one really cemented to me that this tournament is looking at every aspect, really fantastic content
Oh yeah the next challenge really shows seriously western combatives takes self defense,
I love how Mike's initial reaction to seeing someone draped in feces is to kick him.
He's the only ex cop in there too lmao
@@thomasarmstrong3917He probably had flashbacks at that moment: Oh no - I thought I left all this behind me when I retired.
"I was gonna kick the shit out of you, but I see someone else did it first".
Points to Icy Mike for not kicking MJ
@@ValleyDragon haha 😂
Omg the way Seth casually blocked that thrown drink. xD
Truly an Avatar
Proof Karate is the best.
@@ValleyDragon All those hours of kata paid off! All those movements are burned into his muscle memory!
@@MartialArtsJourney The last drink bender
Not as cool as kicking a knife out of someone's hand but still I think he and Mike deserve a trophy or at least a plaque win or lose.
I'm not very sure who came up with all these scenarios, but I admire the sadism😂
Seriously though this series is the best thing to happen in you tube for a long time, love it! Keep up the good job and I'm really looking forward to the next episode
Thanks! Jeff Phillips is the person to praise/blame for the scenarios 😄
@Martial Arts Journey Well, he really is creative, gotta give him that. Let's hope he's up for a season 2 with more fun for us and torturous for you ideas😂
these episodes really show that the best martial art is knowing how to get the hell out of and avoid situations
@@rodpierce8468 I think it's more that making that critical "go, no-go" decision is so critical, and is so often neglected. It's all about making decisions under duress.
This was simultaneously the most hilarious and intense episode. Whoever wins this championship definitely deserved it!
"I thought you were Sensei, not Sensitive" 💀💀💀
Seth lost points for getting attacked in that situation 💀
That line was cold as hell, kudos to MJ
Master Wong:
Theatre - Beats up the guy in the movie theater and either kills or intidates the witnesses.
Bathroom- heals blood guy with chi then gracefully, effortlessly disarms poop guy.
HR - gets laid😎
🤣🤣
We NEED to have a season two of this. Some of the best youtube content ive ever watched. The challanges are amazin, the people are equally as good sometimes eaven better, the zombie one and mikes story was just out of this world, we Need more
Im gonna keep commenting this everywhere but Rokas had better get Master Wong for season 2. Or have Master Ken as the final boss or something.
Definitely. Maybe with an editing team too so the episodes can be put out faster
It makes me so sad that the episodes didnt do as well as expected, views-wise. This is the most fun I've had with youtube in years
I just wonder - they would have to create different scenarios cos now everyone knows :-)
This is probably the most entertaining show online. I love watching each of these guys respective channels and the only thing better is seeing them all collaborate. They definitely need to do more awesome projects like this. 👍🏽
You really changed my whole idea on self defense. Scenario 1 and 3 is something I will have to take into consideration
Just that third scenario alone makes this the best and most relevant self defence challenge ever.
One of the absolute most important lessons of martial arts, should be to be able to set boundaries and be firm about them, without being aggressive. And from there, get out of uncomfortable situations. Showed this to my gf and we had a good talk about how serious and realistic this scenario is, for both men and women.
Well done, love the series, already looking forward to next episode!
This series is so amazing. I really don’t want anyone to win. All of you are top notch. Ramsey not catching the flirting is a real thing and unfortunately the longer it goes on the more the aggressor feels that you are along for the ride.
Mike was a genius. Played along and then run for his life
Ramsey had me laughing my ass of in this one! The look he gives at 18:27 when she touches his knee is priceless.
Honestly, I WAS gonna participate! But I accidentally glued my hands together, so I couldn’t make it 😓 On the bright side, I'm getting pretty good at typing with my nose! 👃🏻
Haha how the hell did you manage that?
Allright Jesse, I think they know you wanted to participate really bad from your comments on the last 5 videos.
After seeing this I would think you might start to be glad you didn't participate!
Karate training makes everything better! 🔥 Even typing with your nose
We hope to see you in Season 2!
Third scenario was smart and intensely well-acted. Wow.
"I thought you were sensei not sensitive!"
I'm done bro
🤣🤣
This has to be my favourite of the the episodes so far. To create such real-world worst-case scenarios while wearing protective gear is just genius. It really shows how wits come into play before physical alterations mostly, which for me is how close this show is to actual real-world confrontations.
I feel like the fact that rokas recognized here comes a drunk man and tried to prevent the conflict before it even began, definitely deserves a bonus point for that
What a performance by the actress - convincing and quick to adapt!
Yep, her acting made it. Very convincing.
I don’t know how you guys did it,but the show keeps getting better and better!
Shows about self defence would usually be one dimensional with all with the emphasis on defending against physical harm weather it be from multiple assailants or weapons,but you guys went deeper with the second challenge of the show!
Amazing work guys!
Honestly, the 2nd scenario is the scariest out of all because every attacker from every situation from episode 1 to now has a reason, where as the 2nd scenario does not. It is very unpredictable and easy to misunderstood.
Did someone get attacked?
Why is the dude covered in poop?
Why is the dude cutting himself?
Never know if those guys are on drugs or mentally ill. Could be both or they are just crazy.
2 is scary, but for a lot of people 3 is one of the most terrifying for a guy because it leaves you completely powerless. It is scary to be attacked by a big guy with a knife sure but there is a clear (if hard) way to be safe. But scenario 3...... I legit would be terrified if it happened because a) I am sure I would miss so many cues that I would end up in a scary position and b) I am in a true no win scenario in a lot of ways. As was said in the video for a guy my size, even a hint of an accusation and I am the assumed bad guy.
@@neodigremo Truueee. Now, I have no other words to say considering those 2 are neck and neck lol
Sensei Seth did a scenario-based self defense evaluation before this where he was placed in a situation that was conceptually like this (one where you aren't sure who the "good guy" is, and who the "bad guy", or whether there is a "good guy" at all). In these types of situations, things can go sideways real fast.
Loved this episode. Relatable self-defence scenarios that require situational awareness, picking up on social cues, and verbal skills. So important to learn. This series continues to be my favourite thing on RUclips in 2023.
Seth blocked that water and all I could think was "CHUBBY SURPRISE"
That third scenario was definitely the most challenging to navigate. So many things could go wrong, leaving you as the man the apparent bad guy and having to defend yourself legally. Icy Mike did an excellent job getting out of it. That scenario, or variations of it, do happen much more often than people think, and even in online versions.
I've been in a similar scenario virtually, where no possibility of accusations of contact could be made, but not physically. In my case, I reminded the person that I was already in a relationship and she got defensive, but stopped her advance. If she hadn't, I'd have just logged out and gotten out of the situation that way.
There is one defensive line that do work with most women: "I like men". She let go and does not claims to have been harrassed.
On the other hand It also works if you want to bang her as she instantly lowers her guard and allows conversation to happen.
@@1individeo taking notes...
"I thought you were Sensei not sensitive": absolute belter of a line😂
*STANDING APPLAUSE* Guys this is incredible and goes very deep! Can´t wait for the finale and season 2!
Ramsey has officially become my favorite martial arts RUclipsr after that office scenario.
He's been my favorite even before this series.
Man this series really do be getting better and better! Specially by showing scenarios that u would not even imagine. It is offering things I didn't asked for but im loving it!! SUUUPER AMAZING JOB AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED ON IT!
Rokas I am litteraly impressed by what you and your partners have done, this is really clever, scenarios are amazing and entertaining, point system 👍... Its an amazing job. 👍
Thanks! The praise for scenarios and scoring system goes to Jeff Phillips!
Third scenario showed how social awareness can save your ass too. Avoiding the potential problem is the ideal self defense tactic.
Congrats on the 300k subscribers. Love these real-life scenario tests!
Thanks!
Jeff Phillip's #1 rule of self defense is the same as the #1 rule of survival as Les Stroud Survivor Man puts it. You are responsible for yourself in a survival situation. Nobody depends on another. That said it was far easier w a companion than alone.
"...bye, have fun fighting each other" 😂 mister Dewey is hilarious as always. Oh man😂😂😂
Better production quality than most reality tv. Great series.
You should 1000000000% make a full video on holistic self defence and similar topics. One of the most important things that anyone can learn and could really start some interesting conversations, make important resources available to people and raise awareness in a very unique way!
Plus if it helps literally just one person in a critical way that would be the best thing possible
I understand Ramseys reaction perfectly. I probably would have reacted the exact same way. But also i like how he takes these scenarios very very seriously.
Only two more episodes? Will there be a season 2? I need more episode they are the highlights of my weeks
Ramsey being oblivious was the best part.
I guess you just need to practice till you get it right, so what if you lose the scenario at times and end up fuc**, yeah i gotta pee too.
Best episode so far!! These are the crucial moments that are RARELY trained but can absolutely lead to physical encounters. Well done 👏🏼

Keep up the good work
@Martial Arts Journey I just want to say Rokas I’m super proud of you for pulling this entire season off with amazing quality, incredible fellow Martial Artist/RUclipsrs & the editing is phenomenal!!! My only pet peeve is that I couldn’t experience watching all you guys in person as I live in Australia (I’m in Melbourne though, not Sydney were u guys shot 😢😂)
Hey rocus you should go train in Shaolin Kung Fu and you should tell Ramsey Dewey to do it too
Master Wong for Season 2 PLEASE
Could you guys try "Loser Loses" game from anime Bagi the Grappler?
Everyone involved is so good and I love how everyone is embracing the spirit of the scenarios. I'm still rooting for Ramsey just because he seems permanently removed from reality.
Gabi Kicking Rokas for unintentionally grabbing MJ is the cutest thing ever 😂
This is So damn amazing, I hope you guys get the attention you deserve!
If it was the other way around tho...
@@Un1-ju2pq tell that to Gabi ... xD
@@scalpel6096 you do have a point lol
Yeah, I agree - violence is sooo cute :3
This is what I think of when I think about 'self-defense'.
I was slightly concerned initially with the bus-fight. But everything is coming full circle.
As always rokas; GREAT production. Cheers
Dude! You are amazing! This entire self defense course is one of greatest things ever created. More people need this. You doing a great thing here! Keep it up 👍🏾
"he's a black belt with 2 white stripes"
"I thought you were sensei not sensitive"
MJ indeed is the best improvisational actress of this generation
Ramsey Dewey is my Spirit Animal hahaha
"So... stabby guy stabbed pooped guy's brother. Now I'm interested! I need to know the whole story!"
"Dunno if you are flirting or if you are just super friendly... ohh okay so it was the former... okay I'm out, I'm out"
The man deserves cuddles and headpats, was just being the most innocent and kindhearted, and chill, of everyone there.
Ramsey Dewey has so many funny moments in this series 🤣 His seriousness in his online content belies the fact that he's a really funny guy!
I'd love to see him in the second season in some capacity. He's a stand up guy and very entertaining too!
Wow!! This should have been worth some points! I want this to be a Netflix series!!! Outstanding job!
New module: Karen defence training 👌
😄😄
KDT should be taught in every school, university and workspace in the world.
best episode of this series, couse you learn so much even just by watching.
It hasnt even finished yet, and I already want season 2 LoL, Best reality show for matial arts lovers
Seth had the right idea when he broke up with MJ as they walked out of the theater. No one needs that kind of drama in their lives.
If MJ is in the room, I'm 100% dead in the scenario, that improv was crazy good.
looking forward to the next episode!
the first and third scenario are, up til now, the best actual self defense scenarios of this whole show. The other challenges are fun and do involve valuable self defense aspects, but these two scenarios are the closest two what actually happens in the real world. The "crazy date/toxic partner" sadly isn't that rare and sexual powerplays in the workspace, especially for women, are a constant threat.
Mike's solution really was ingenious, but it wasn't necessarily complete. If he doesn't come back, he's very likely gonna lose his job and maybe his reputation. The very second he got out, he should have called or visited HR, to tell them about the situation. If the office doesn't have HR, go one step above and call the police. Be first to report the scenario to cover your reputation. if the boss is physically weaker, as in this scenario, you can also set up your phone to record the conversation and actually step back into the office after "visiting the toilet". Just make them state on the record that they are asking a sexual favor in exchange for job security and you got the necessary evidence to bury them.
Very good
I liked this one much better than the zombie episode
"I wanna be with a real man" that was the most brutal attack of the entire series😂
😄
Love the series, this episode was fantastic, the kick you get thrown by accidentally touching is hilarious, and the improv girl is great! Thank you for this
Best episode until now, BY FAR!
That Miky act really stole the show, man but thinking cold minded it was genius, he followed her signs, played the game and left with no traces about being obvious about what just happened as she said the other ways guys did made them the bad guys and turned the situation against, instead Mike had nothing againts, he could just escalate the situation with upper management and file her.
Great episodes Rokas, hope this gets more sponsors and could become a streaming show.
This is just getting better and better man. Please make a season 2 happen!
I totally feel for my man Ramsey here. It just goes to show how difficult things really are.
The whole 3rd scenario I was thinking “I’d lie and act like I had to go use the bathroom and never come back” and mike did it😂💪🏾
I thought that as well.
By far the best The Ultimate Self-Defense series I have ever seen, keep up the great work 😁
Some well-designed scenarios there. Loved MJ's roleplaying and I am remembering Icy Mike's solution to that last challenge because that is genius. Also Rokas, fair play for your efforts in the 2nd scenario, you're a hero! Don't get stabbed.
Gentlemen challenge:
1. I laughed when MJ was introduced. She is the KAREN
2. good challenges. throw me off
3. The second challenge is a bit subjective. I think to be able to help both guys without injure yourself should be considered good
I would say that judged the second one well because the actors are only actors but if you end up in a room with two real insane people then you need to get out ASAP especially with blood, poop and glass. Recipe for death, infection or serious injury. The best solution is to leave and call emergency services.
Dude this series is so damn good. This episode was really creative and MJ was a 10/10 actress
Makes me realise I always close the door for meetings. I'mma stop doing that.
😁
the last scenario was awesome. The world needs more of those.
I love this stuff! You definitely got all the right personalities for this show
"I think more self-defense schools should take time practicing this sort of thing." I concur Ramsey...I concur.
I like that all the training these experts have, they still choose nonviolence as much as possible. Great Job!
that "i thought you were sensei not sensitive" was so good
phenomenal work. Commenting for exposure.
Poor Ramsey, he got robbed points again. I don't think he did any worse in the cinema than everyone else.
No one else's gf actually hit the guy multiple times :)
@@MartialArtsJourney In no other scenario did the cinema guy throw the cup after her even though she threw it at him in every scenario. In the case of Jeff Chan she also walked like 2 1/2 metres in front of Jeff and could have ran up and slapped him at any point.
This is such a great idea for a video series, Whoever thought of it, GREAT WORK!
8:26 Best line xD "I thought you were Sensei, not sensitive" hahaha
Well, right of the bat I've been Jeff Chan in the 1st scenario, so I think he handled it well. There are some good baked-in lessons here. Self Defense is for the Self; choosing to not engage should be considered a virtue within that context. There were some thought-provoking situations in this one that took me by surprise
This was awesome. You totally deserve to get kicked by Gabi in that last scenario 😂.
Also the next episode is after my birthday 🥳🎂 YAAAAY!!!
That last scenario, thinking about it, reminds me of some points I have been taught in my teacher training in the UK. Among them, never be alone with a student behind a closed door, always keep a certain distance and so on. I did not think that would be self defence but really it is.
100% as a teacher you never put yourself in a room with one single student. If it’s confidential you take them to a room that is clearly visible ie glass walls where there is no chance of any accusations.
wow, this series is so much fun to watch and still raising awareness about serious topics. hats off to everybody involved and i cant wait for the next episodes. :)
The harassment scenario was pretty amazing. Like yeah, if you are bloody huge MMA fighter like Jeff and Rokas, obvs you are going to handle yourself in hand-to-hand combat. Jeff is so good that he can just decide whether he will let the other guy live or not. But if you are a 50kg woman with an abusive boyfriend/boss/father/whatever, the whole scenario plays completely different.
Had to say, for such a bad guy Jeff is really good at acknowledging when he is overpowered and knows when to just leave.
I would have so failed the job scenario 🤣🤣🤣
This was so good.
I haven't been on a lot of dates, but changing my seat so I'm sitting closer to the guy that just sat nearby did happen once. I saw him coming, and I said to myself, "nope, that's not happening". I've also tried to date someone a couple times that was an instigator/antagonist, and thought I'd have to fight someone cuz of it. Luckily that scenario never happened. But I think about that scenario often.
In the 2nd scenario, I would've tried to escape sooner.
3rd scenario was definitely interesting, and different from a "'typical' self defense" scenario. I woulda had a similar reaction as ramsey, im not good at recognizing flirtation towards me. But, I'm also pretty good at not getting an "HR" harassment claim. But Mike's decisions were definitely genius. Moving the chair to create distance, and asking to use the bathroom as a polite way to get out safely and almost to save face for both parties.
Being single I'd just protect my job but Mike's solution was freaking genius.
MJ was the star of the show. That lady should be on the big screen
lol, the 3rd scenario is so underrated 😢
Mike is a quick thinker!!
That was some real verbal Aikido right there.
I have been telling my mother how much I love this series. As I was watching this episode I was thinking how much I wanted to tell her about it, just to remember she died on Tuesday. My grandfather shot her in the face with a shotgun on Sunday, and killed himself. She survived 2 days in the hospital.
🙏🏼🕊️🌷
this the best part of the week for me brotha! LETS GOOOO
Love that these were all self defense scenarios that really happen where it getting physical is the wrong solution.
Still best series on RUclips! 😂❤
