Bro u got something here with this series. UFC started just as small as this. You guys actually have a budget now. Do not stop. This is so entertaining. We honestly need 4 of these a year.
This was the most real solution to the scenarios even though it hurt their score. Literally everyone in the place was assaulting each other and now there's Poop Man? Yeah, time to protect yourself in the best way possible and find a new line of work!
@@TheWesterlyWarlock LOL, I think it's supposed to represent an actual bar just without all the regular non fighting people. (cuz they'd need like 300 extras) not that unrealistic for a whole bunch of people to start fighting all at once, it does happen (though usually it's just 1 big fight that goes all over the place, 3 totally unrelated fights breaking out at the same does seem unlikely)
Honestly from a self-defense standpoint that is valid. It was set up as a bouncing 'gig' (we'll pay you X amount tonight to keep the peace). Walking away from that job went it went too crazy should be valid from a self-defense point of view. That's when you call actual authorities to the scene. What could have enhanced the scenario was to have innocent bystanders at the club that were put in danger, which might create a reason for a bouncer to protect them. But this seemed to be a scenario where a bunch of idiots are fighting and a poop man is walking around. Nobody is getting paid enough to deal with that. I did 'gig work' bouncing for a bit. Mostly working as a doorman and checking IDs but also being asked to throw unruly people out of the bar, etc. I'm a big guy (6'5) and 99% of the time verbally directing bad actors out the door was sufficient. 'Hey man, you gotta go, sorry. Don't worry about your tab, it's covered. Let's go'. (The bar tab thing is pre-emptive because the first thing they will say is that they have an open tab and try to stay on those grounds, and when it comes time to eject someone their tab is the last thing on anyone's mind, and if they provided a card up front that will get charged anyway). Anyway, the scariest thing that happened was when a par patron came up to me and told me someone was brandishing a firearm in the men's room. In retrospect I think this may have been stupid of me, but I went in there and 'washed my hands' next to a guy that was absolutely just looking at himself in the mirror with a pistol in his waistband and pulling it out and posing to himself, and he looked high as hell. I went back out to the bar and told the closest bartender what was going on and told them to call the police right away and then positioned myself right outside the bathroom door to keep anyone from going in and hopefully prevent an incident when the guy came out. It was a Friday or Saturday night in the 'club/dance' district meaning police were fortunately already right around the corner, and they came in within minutes and apprehended the guy with no shots fired, fortunately. So, the nights I did that, my pay was cash, under the table, $100 or so, plus after the bar shut down I'd get some free drinks while the place did their after-hours cleanup. You have to ask yourself whether that's worth it to risk getting killed, and whether you're willing to go into a bathroom where you're told there's a dude brandishing a pistol. I ended up doing exactly that (while not confronting) because the bar was full of innocents. That's a scenario in which you're torn between your 'duty' to making a small amount of cash versus worrying about the safety of the innocents around you. I think the scenario I dealt with would be a good one in terms of the 'self defense scenario' championship. The one they did deal with was a bunch of people fighting each other.... maybe not worth the pay vs personal risk.

0:16 Ranton just embracing the madness already has me keen for this episode. While I'm rooting for Craig as a fellow Aussie, I'd be just as happy to see Ranton win too
I've never watched any of Ranton channel but he is easily becoming my favorite out of the group. Just genuinely seems to be enjoying himself and not trying be something he's not. Still rooting for Jesse to win. And Natan is just badass.
Having been a bouncer…pretty accurate in terms how quickly things can turn chaotic and violent. I always described the job at 95% standing around and just chatting with folks…5% of pure human carnage that required split second decision making…often times before you realized you were deciding.
One of the tactical failures is to leave one fight unfinished to go break up another one. The goal is not to be fair or even helpful. The goal is to protect the club from damage and liability. Once you grab a guy, you should not let him go until he's outside the room. If the other guy follows him outside to continue the fight on public property, thats not your problem. If another fight breaks out, then deal with that in sequence -- but if you keep leaving guys "half-finished" then the situation is only going to get worse. The exception, of course, is if there's a deadly weapon in another fight (one of the guys grabs a broken bottle at one point in the scenario) -- then you have to rush to that no matter what the status of the other fights is. Jesse's use of the chair as a grappling device (getting poop man between the legs of the chair and pinning him gently to the wall) was the best move in the whole episode. I would have given him the win for that. That was above and beyond the bouncer's job -- he actually contributed to public safety, not just the club's safety. The city would give him a medal for that.
In terms of doing your job as a bouncer, yes. In terms of self-defence from catching disease, he got too close to poop man. If he instead used a stool, he could create more distance and have a similar level of control. Since this is the Self Defence Championship, sorry Jesse, but overall it wasn't the best decision in terms of self-preservation.
@@JourneyLT If we're going by that logic, then they shouldn't have attempted to break up anything. If your goal is pure self-preservation then don't get into a protective line of work because it, by definition, requires you to sacrifice your own self-defense to a certain degree.
What if they enter again while you are facing the others. Or its not 1v1v1 or 2v2v2 but 4v4 if you are carrying 2 person away other people could try to attack the person you grabbing. Remember its only 2 bouncers against multiple people. Cant apply tactics same way.
Actually, Jessie's forceful commands escalate mental health crises. Jeff handled it PERFECTLY. I've worked with severe I/DD folks, and when it comes to de-escalating them, polite requests work SO MUCH BETTER than commands.
Please utilize crowd funding for S3, many of us would contribute just to ensure the success of your project without putting all the burden on you. S2 is an improvement over S1 and I am sure the same will be said for future seasons.
@@MartialArtsJourney Rokas, my thought is, if not outright giving a link to a crowdfunding link right now, to maybe put a quick mention , even just a few seconds, of how you're going to fund S3 in each upcoming video just because it puts that idea in front of more people's eyes and reminds them to check, or at least give them a date of when you're planning to put it up, etc = more views = more funding as of now, ep1 of USDC is at 692k views, ep2 is at 2.3m views, ep3 is at 928k views, there's no guarantee that the youtube algorithm will consistently bless you as much as it has for some of these videos. this whole series while its fresh and popping on RUclips is an excellent promotion itself for season 3, I'd even suggest going back and pinning a comment on the previous videos for the crowdfunding link if you can Not to say that the quality doesn't speak for itself, you're putting up some of the most valuable info on self defense and martial arts in the scene right now. To me all the eps deserve millions of views, and your editing is next level (i watched em all on patreon a few weeks ago ;) ), i just dont trust the YT algo to bless u appropriately for all your efforts to keep your s3 crowdfunding promotion on just one video alone with that being said, you're doing great and you may already have better reasons for your original plans for s3 crowdfunding. Wishing you the best brother, you're doing fantastic work!!!
awesome stuff as always, but I still feel like sometimes the uniforms of the contenders are to difficult to differenciate from the other fighters. I would suggest dressing the "opposing force" in one-tone / one color uniforms (no patterns) that would stand out from the "anatomic" uniforms of the contestants. The protective gear should also be one tone/color. Right now in both bar room scenarios when SHTF it's visually just a mess of bodies, quite hard to follow who's doing what. Nathan, Craig and Ranton are ok to spot, wearing white, green and red. But Jesse and Jordan are invisible, because the attackers also have blue and white and grey patterns on their clothes.
Very much agree, it would help if the 'goons' were in all black or white or something. It becomes a mess of colors, especially with the cutting between different cameras, etc.
Jeff is way too honest to be a cop. Always get a lawyer and don't say anything without one. Contrary to popular belief, in North America, you are guilty and "suspicious" until proven innocent. Especially if you are poor.
15:21 -"by the way, I'm a Monk.." - "Are you a monk?" - 😶 FILM HIM, HE'S LAUGHING ! LOL. Absolutely not guilty, guy is laughing. By international law, you laught, you lose. Everyone knows that. Rantom pulled his monk training on that
I love this series so much. I pray to God and/or any other deity that there will be a Season 3. I can’t even begin to imagine the financial and logistical nightmare that USDC represents, but it’s sincerely some of the absolute best content I’ve ever seen on RUclips in terms of entertainment AND education. Looking forward to the next few episodes!
@@MartialArtsJourneyPlease have s parkour expert for next season! I've been doing parkour for 15 years, teaching it for 5 and martial arts for 2 years. I can recommend top level parkour traceurs but not all of them will have any kind of striking or grappling experience. Some of us do, though! Comment here and I'll get in touch with you!
Yeah this reminds me of network tv shows like Fight Quest and other reality martial art docuseries, but 10 times better since we know most of the participants and their backgrounds
Same. I hope there's a season 3, with new contenders and/or maybe some familiar faces. As well as additional challenges not shown in seasons 1 or 2. Ex: family picnic(external/internal threat), after work mugging, festival(crowded area), etc.
Aside from being entertaining and informative, this episode was just comedic gold all around. Matt rolling into frame while Jessie is talking just about killed me.
Really enjoying this series. One criticism I'd have for this episode is that there was so much going on during the fights I feel like there should have been a few more camera angles Keep up the great work!
Seeing Ranton in this and the last episode is like watching a friend grow. He’s so friendly and open about not being a fighter but watching him throw down! I can’t help but be so damn proud!
I know right 😢. Sucked big time. Then I had to watch all the guys have fun doing the rest of challenges. Which was awesome to see live but also bitter sweet.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu They have to invite you back, you are a fan favorite with the perfect redemption story. Also, when's the next Talk Jitsu podcast? I've been checking weekly
I only worked part-time as a bouncer for 6 months, but that was more enough to make me realize that alcohol makes people behave in ways that are very contrary to their nature, so I quit drinking altogether and have never once regretted doing so. To each their own, of course, but it's just not for me, especially since I have a history of alcoholism in my family. Anyway, great show as always, Rokas and team!
Thanks man! It was a tough pill to swallow. It was really tough seeing the challenges going on without being able to participate 😢. All good though. I tried to rehab my knee since but hurt it again in the summer and will need surgery.
@JordanTeachesJiujitsu you represented bjj very well. Especially in the shank tank, and when bouncing with Jeff before the unfortunate knee injury. Best of luck with the surgery and healing up.
Ranton: Bowtie. Nightclub situation. Craig: You wear a bowtie to a nightclub? Also intro videos Ranton blowing a kiss, and Craig.... biting his headgear?!? Totally on-brand 🤣🤣🤣
“I thought that I was John Wick” 😂 Yeah that’s the problem. Self Protection is the act of defending yourself. Self Defense is a LEGAL term. And Legally, Natohn Wick and The InJeffible Hulk going to JAIL after that bar fight challenge 😂 “Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, Do Not Curbstomp Monopoly Man” 🤣😅
Really appreciate this series. Yes, there is martial arts, but the scenarios don't just include fighting. How do you handle aggressive customers in a bar without hurting anyone? How do you justify your actions in legal cases? We see how these train martial artists deal with it and it can be tricky. And sometimes, yeah, it's real. I'd definitely do what Ranton and Craig did in their scenario. An excellent job and looking forward to the last two episodes.
Normally I watch RUclips “on the go” for 5-20 min. on my iPhone or iPad. Since the 3rd episode of Season 1 of USDC for this I put each time YoTube on my AppleTV, I sit down in my preferred armchair with some snacks and soft drink and watch it on TV on my big screen. (I wrote each time:) Absolutely TV quality entertainment and the best martial arts/street-fight/fighting sports/self defence/etc. related show ever (including the ones of big channels). … And indeed this time, in the season 2 the self-defence approach is spot on (though the first season was great fun as well, just the title didn’t fit so good)!
I hope you guys do more scenarios like you did in season 1. Especially with how surprising and real the sexual assault scenario was. That was the episode that made me realise that, yes, you guys are doing the flashy, big fun "self defence" stuff, but you also have true understanding of the actual mentality behind self defence. Having the little court room drama play out here was such a good idea.
@@Leo_machados It's the scenarios challenge from season 1. I don't know which episode number it is, I watched it in the big video they released that was the whole season.
I just want to say... i want more of this! I watched season 1 and now i am waiting for the next episode... It's like the old days, waiting when for the next show. Thank you for making this and it's nice touch to have an 'average joe' in the mix as well. It's nice to see. I do wish your episodes were longer, but i guess i am fanboy. It's never enough is it? :)

This show is a brilliant idea with great execution and crazy potential. Been binging since the last episode, that thing went viral for a reason. Badass, hilarious, and education.
It's interesting seeing Craig in comparison to the martial artists since by all means, he should be a weaker combatant and not as equipped but the others often seem to tunnel vision. They have the confidence of knowing how to handle themselves in a fight and rely on their training but as a result, they tunnel vision and focuson on applying that training. Craig doesn't have anything like that and so has to use every trick he can think of to get out of the situations which in turn can lead to him often coming up with clever solutions.
@@CraigHunterTheRegAussieBlokeI have trained for about 17 years and we are probably about the same age. Even if size wasn't a factor I would be wary with you. You are a scrapper bro.
@MartialArtsJourney I loved that little Easter Egg 😂, & I don’t blame them 😅. PS. Were you guys in Sydney for this season(I live in Melbourne)?? Last Season was in Western Australia
This show is absolute genius. The first series was fantastic, and so far series two is amazing as well. I hope you receive the funding you need to continue it for a long time to come. Great work by everyone involved.
Bouncing is the perfect scenario for realism. Excellent! The Trial is also realistic. For the Poop guy you notice when someone grabbed a chair it set the tone.
I don't think the point gap corresponds to the difference in the groups' performance. I would have given it 6-4-2, not 6-3-1. At least. Great job, anyway!
I think there should be more in-depth explanations for these scorings. I don't really see why Ranton got only 1 point, I think he handled the situation quite well, all things considered. Especially how he used calm verbal communication and humor.
Its also weird how he said that Jesse and Natan did almost as well as Jeff and Jordan and then Jeff and Jordan got double the points. To me their performances seemed the same while Ranton and Craig did a bit worse. But 1, 3 and 6 points are wildly different.
@@_______________00 Exactly, overall they all did pretty well but got massively different points. I think the whole comparative scoring system wasn't a great idea, especially for a challenge like this.
This is my favorite thing to watch right now! Simply top notch from the contestants, the challenges, sets and all ! I am honestly taken aback by how good this is!

"so you dont remember what happened that night"
Best cross examination of a fake judge ive seen in a while.. straight to the point.
Having been a bouncer…pretty accurate in terms how quickly things can turn chaotic and violent. I always described the job at 95% standing around and just chatting with folks…5% of pure human carnage that required split second decision making…often times before you realized you were deciding.
One of the tactical failures is to leave one fight unfinished to go break up another one. The goal is not to be fair or even helpful. The goal is to protect the club from damage and liability. Once you grab a guy, you should not let him go until he's outside the room. If the other guy follows him outside to continue the fight on public property, thats not your problem. If another fight breaks out, then deal with that in sequence -- but if you keep leaving guys "half-finished" then the situation is only going to get worse.
The exception, of course, is if there's a deadly weapon in another fight (one of the guys grabs a broken bottle at one point in the scenario) -- then you have to rush to that no matter what the status of the other fights is.
Jesse's use of the chair as a grappling device (getting poop man between the legs of the chair and pinning him gently to the wall) was the best move in the whole episode. I would have given him the win for that. That was above and beyond the bouncer's job -- he actually contributed to public safety, not just the club's safety. The city would give him a medal for that.
In terms of doing your job as a bouncer, yes. In terms of self-defence from catching disease, he got too close to poop man. If he instead used a stool, he could create more distance and have a similar level of control. Since this is the Self Defence Championship, sorry Jesse, but overall it wasn't the best decision in terms of self-preservation.
@@JourneyLT If we're going by that logic, then they shouldn't have attempted to break up anything. If your goal is pure self-preservation then don't get into a protective line of work because it, by definition, requires you to sacrifice your own self-defense to a certain degree.
at what point does bouncer = police officer if you have to go wrestle armed people?
What if they enter again while you are facing the others. Or its not 1v1v1 or 2v2v2 but 4v4 if you are carrying 2 person away other people could try to attack the person you grabbing. Remember its only 2 bouncers against multiple people. Cant apply tactics same way.
Actually, Jessie's forceful commands escalate mental health crises. Jeff handled it PERFECTLY. I've worked with severe I/DD folks, and when it comes to de-escalating them, polite requests work SO MUCH BETTER than commands.
Natan cross examining the witness was my absolute highlight moment
Please utilize crowd funding for S3, many of us would contribute just to ensure the success of your project without putting all the burden on you. S2 is an improvement over S1 and I am sure the same will be said for future seasons.
Thank you! I will be announcing the crowdfunding of season 3 with the release of the final episode of season 2 🙏
@@MartialArtsJourneybest news today
@@MartialArtsJourney Rokas, my thought is, if not outright giving a link to a crowdfunding link right now, to maybe put a quick mention , even just a few seconds, of how you're going to fund S3 in each upcoming video just because it puts that idea in front of more people's eyes and reminds them to check, or at least give them a date of when you're planning to put it up, etc = more views = more funding
as of now, ep1 of USDC is at 692k views, ep2 is at 2.3m views, ep3 is at 928k views, there's no guarantee that the youtube algorithm will consistently bless you as much as it has for some of these videos.
this whole series while its fresh and popping on RUclips is an excellent promotion itself for season 3, I'd even suggest going back and pinning a comment on the previous videos for the crowdfunding link if you can
Not to say that the quality doesn't speak for itself, you're putting up some of the most valuable info on self defense and martial arts in the scene right now. To me all the eps deserve millions of views, and your editing is next level (i watched em all on patreon a few weeks ago ;) ), i just dont trust the YT algo to bless u appropriately for all your efforts to keep your s3 crowdfunding promotion on just one video alone
with that being said, you're doing great and you may already have better reasons for your original plans for s3 crowdfunding. Wishing you the best brother, you're doing fantastic work!!!
@@MartialArtsJourney if you do season 3 get master wong 😂
@@MartialArtsJourneyGood. I will contribute.
awesome stuff as always, but I still feel like sometimes the uniforms of the contenders are to difficult to differenciate from the other fighters. I would suggest dressing the "opposing force" in one-tone / one color uniforms (no patterns) that would stand out from the "anatomic" uniforms of the contestants. The protective gear should also be one tone/color.
Right now in both bar room scenarios when SHTF it's visually just a mess of bodies, quite hard to follow who's doing what.
Nathan, Craig and Ranton are ok to spot, wearing white, green and red. But Jesse and Jordan are invisible, because the attackers also have blue and white and grey patterns on their clothes.
Feedback received!
Very much agree, it would help if the 'goons' were in all black or white or something. It becomes a mess of colors, especially with the cutting between different cameras, etc.
💯
Totally agree
His accusations don’t make sense from my memory i only threw one punch
-Jeff Chan
As self-defense !
worst defense ever!!
Jeff is way too honest to be a cop. Always get a lawyer and don't say anything without one. Contrary to popular belief, in North America, you are guilty and "suspicious" until proven innocent. Especially if you are poor.
_'is there any evidence that i did it? If not, i'm out of here, bye'_ \o/
15:21 -"by the way, I'm a Monk.."
- "Are you a monk?"
- 😶 FILM HIM, HE'S LAUGHING !
LOL. Absolutely not guilty, guy is laughing. By international law, you laught, you lose. Everyone knows that. Rantom pulled his monk training on that
I love this series so much. I pray to God and/or any other deity that there will be a Season 3. I can’t even begin to imagine the financial and logistical nightmare that USDC represents, but it’s sincerely some of the absolute best content I’ve ever seen on RUclips in terms of entertainment AND education. Looking forward to the next few episodes!
Thank you 🙏
@@MartialArtsJourneyPlease have s parkour expert for next season! I've been doing parkour for 15 years, teaching it for 5 and martial arts for 2 years. I can recommend top level parkour traceurs but not all of them will have any kind of striking or grappling experience. Some of us do, though!
Comment here and I'll get in touch with you!
@@sinner2133 Amen, brother!
Yeah this reminds me of network tv shows like Fight Quest and other reality martial art docuseries, but 10 times better since we know most of the participants and their backgrounds
Same. I hope there's a season 3, with new contenders and/or maybe some familiar faces. As well as additional challenges not shown in seasons 1 or 2. Ex: family picnic(external/internal threat), after work mugging, festival(crowded area), etc.
The fact Ranton made the whole courtroom laugh, including the witness should be extra points😂
😄
Aussie is finally getting his chance to show the bouncers from last time how it’s done.
And failed miserably 😂🤷🏻♂️
Aside from being entertaining and informative, this episode was just comedic gold all around. Matt rolling into frame while Jessie is talking just about killed me.
The “normal person” has a ton of practical intelligence, and is amazing under pressure! I wish most untrained people were like this.
He is a dad... got to be helping!
@@TheAtomicBear He also happens to be a trained person ^^ By the school hosting the event
that "normal person" did bareknuckle boxing in prison
@@chainsovwait, wtf? 😂
@@smackssmacks1306 yeah, Ranton told about it on his react stream
0:14 Randons face when entering the fight
He misses his tackle as well. And regret not jumping/tackling more... Which probably would result in more 😁, but missed tackle.
Really enjoying this series. One criticism I'd have for this episode is that there was so much going on during the fights I feel like there should have been a few more camera angles
Keep up the great work!
The fact that Ranton is so idgaf all the time is truly shaolin
Ranton's trial had me in tears
2:58 "*Unfortunately* the contenders were not going to be entering the next challange as male strippers..."
👁👄👁
Stay tuned for season 3 tho 🤣🤣🤣
Seeing Ranton in this and the last episode is like watching a friend grow. He’s so friendly and open about not being a fighter but watching him throw down! I can’t help but be so damn proud!
Ranton with a spear has to be season highlight material.
Damn, Jordan had to drop out after getting 1st place. Definition of tragic 😢
I know right 😢. Sucked big time. Then I had to watch all the guys have fun doing the rest of challenges. Which was awesome to see live but also bitter sweet.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu They have to invite you back, you are a fan favorite with the perfect redemption story. Also, when's the next Talk Jitsu podcast? I've been checking weekly
they need to invite you back
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu 👏
Would've loved to see him in ones where they had to fight each other, plus he just had his own "no more mr nice guy" moment like Natan had
Best competition ever
Gets given a bow tie, ‘are we male strippers’ 🤣🤣🤣
Next time you should totally have a Navy Seal or something compete
I only worked part-time as a bouncer for 6 months, but that was more enough to make me realize that alcohol makes people behave in ways that are very contrary to their nature, so I quit drinking altogether and have never once regretted doing so. To each their own, of course, but it's just not for me, especially since I have a history of alcoholism in my family. Anyway, great show as always, Rokas and team!
Yes! just finished rewatching season 1 and noticed how much they improved from it. Amazing competition!
These videos are always a reminder that Jesse is actually a pretty big dude. He looks huge next to everyone else.
yes dude look small in his Gi .
Dang, its unfortunate to see Jordan dropped out due to his injured knee, stuff happens it seems. Wishing him well.
Jesse deserves a new drink 🍹😊🥋
‘What is RUclips’ Let him cook!
That was hilarious...
Ranton in the court is way too funny
the fact that two of them thought they were gonna be male strippers is insanely funny
Who would have one that competition? 😂
@@TheAtomicBear being assaulted by women at a party while being a stripper? lol
@@TheAtomicBear tbh Natan seems like a guy who stripped once at 18 because his rent was due and he needed the money so probably him
@@TheAtomicBear one and won are neither pronounced the same, nor spelled the same
"What IS youtube?" 😂😂😂
I couldn't tell if he was feigning ignorance or making it philosophical. 😂
@@Godspeedhero0 same hahaha
We love you Jordan! Even if you cant continue thankyou for representing bjj and everything you do
Thanks man! It was a tough pill to swallow. It was really tough seeing the challenges going on without being able to participate 😢. All good though. I tried to rehab my knee since but hurt it again in the summer and will need surgery.
Hope that the surgery goes smoothly and your knee gets better over time. It'd be awesome to see you return in future seasons of this show as well
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Damn you were first place when you had to quit too this sucks.
@@bensylver5113feels like I have unfinished business and felt like I was just getting started too haha. Life happens though! Appreciate the support 👊
@JordanTeachesJiujitsu you represented bjj very well. Especially in the shank tank, and when bouncing with Jeff before the unfortunate knee injury. Best of luck with the surgery and healing up.
Jordan picking and carrying these guys like they weigh nothing was crazy.
This show so sick!! Ranton support all the way we just ignore the bar fight 😂
Ranton: Bowtie. Nightclub situation.
Craig: You wear a bowtie to a nightclub?
Also intro videos Ranton blowing a kiss, and Craig.... biting his headgear?!? Totally on-brand
🤣🤣🤣
😂
The court one was a nice touch something everyone doesn’t think about
“I thought that I was John Wick” 😂 Yeah that’s the problem. Self Protection is the act of defending yourself. Self Defense is a LEGAL term. And Legally, Natohn Wick and The InJeffible Hulk going to JAIL after that bar fight challenge 😂 “Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect $200, Do Not Curbstomp Monopoly Man” 🤣😅
I'm so happy it's Ranton and Craig together c'mon lads if you win this Ranton becomes an honourary Australian
Ranton with some rando AUSSIE gun actually makes me so happy
Really appreciate this series. Yes, there is martial arts, but the scenarios don't just include fighting. How do you handle aggressive customers in a bar without hurting anyone? How do you justify your actions in legal cases? We see how these train martial artists deal with it and it can be tricky. And sometimes, yeah, it's real. I'd definitely do what Ranton and Craig did in their scenario. An excellent job and looking forward to the last two episodes.
Normally I watch RUclips “on the go” for 5-20 min. on my iPhone or iPad. Since the 3rd episode of Season 1 of USDC for this I put each time YoTube on my AppleTV, I sit down in my preferred armchair with some snacks and soft drink and watch it on TV on my big screen. (I wrote each time:) Absolutely TV quality entertainment and the best martial arts/street-fight/fighting sports/self defence/etc. related show ever (including the ones of big channels). … And indeed this time, in the season 2 the self-defence approach is spot on (though the first season was great fun as well, just the title didn’t fit so good)!
I hope you guys do more scenarios like you did in season 1. Especially with how surprising and real the sexual assault scenario was. That was the episode that made me realise that, yes, you guys are doing the flashy, big fun "self defence" stuff, but you also have true understanding of the actual mentality behind self defence. Having the little court room drama play out here was such a good idea.
I think that when it comes to education I don't think there's anything wrong with a little bit of style so long as it gets the point across.
What episode is that?
Yeah man, that challenge was poignant
@@Leo_machados It's the scenarios challenge from season 1. I don't know which episode number it is, I watched it in the big video they released that was the whole season.
Man what an episode! This show is great!! Thanx again to you and the contestants!! Go regular guy!!
🍻
I just want to say... i want more of this! I watched season 1 and now i am waiting for the next episode... It's like the old days, waiting when for the next show.
Thank you for making this and it's nice touch to have an 'average joe' in the mix as well. It's nice to see. I do wish your episodes were longer, but i guess i am fanboy. It's never enough is it? :)
Thanks! As long as the crowdfunding at the end goes well, my intention is to make all season 3 episodes longer 🙏
@@MartialArtsJourney
Dammit, i have no money man! haha, you got a job for me instead? I got all the time now!
Okay.. because i love ya! When i have a job again, i might send ya some money! Just promise me making another awesome show! 😉
Ranton with “what is RUclips?” Killed me hahaha😂
Ranton is too unserious for a court scenario 😂
Dude, that bar is intense. Ranton should teach self defense through giving standup performances to defuse the tension.
I shouldn't be facetious but couldn't stop laughing when they wheeled Matt out with the neck brace 😂😂
This show is a brilliant idea with great execution and crazy potential. Been binging since the last episode, that thing went viral for a reason. Badass, hilarious, and education.
Need more of that post-fight court room stuff, feel it's cut away too fast?
"He did NOT look like that when I was done with him." -Jesse🥋

This series is pure gold. Keep the seasons rolling please!
4:47 the way he shoved buddy out of the way 😭😭😭
please make them longer
As long as we'll manage to get enough funding my plan is to make all season 3 episodes longer 👊
For the next season, you gotta get Demetrious Johnson!
Do it Mighty Mouse. Give us small guys something to be proud of 😂
This shit is better than TV quality. Great show.
It's interesting seeing Craig in comparison to the martial artists since by all means, he should be a weaker combatant and not as equipped but the others often seem to tunnel vision. They have the confidence of knowing how to handle themselves in a fight and rely on their training but as a result, they tunnel vision and focuson on applying that training. Craig doesn't have anything like that and so has to use every trick he can think of to get out of the situations which in turn can lead to him often coming up with clever solutions.
🤙🏻
@@CraigHunterTheRegAussieBlokeI have trained for about 17 years and we are probably about the same age. Even if size wasn't a factor I would be wary with you. You are a scrapper bro.

@@MartialArtsJourney Yeah ahahah. I think any of them that pointed out they had no CCTV were on. Also... Why didn't they have legal representation?

Nathan would scare me too.
Regular person Craig = real life Deadpool Peter 🔥

I have been watching your videos since the very beginning and love them all, sir.
Thanks!
This show is absolute genius. The first series was fantastic, and so far series two is amazing as well. I hope you receive the funding you need to continue it for a long time to come. Great work by everyone involved.
Bouncing is the perfect scenario for realism. Excellent! The Trial is also realistic. For the Poop guy you notice when someone grabbed a chair it set the tone.
In the mock courtroom, I legit thought one of those guys was going to severely misinterpret the situation and fight the judge.
Me too and I was placing my bets on who!
I don't think the point gap corresponds to the difference in the groups' performance. I would have given it 6-4-2, not 6-3-1. At least.
Great job, anyway!
Ну, кстати, согласна
I think there should be more in-depth explanations for these scorings. I don't really see why Ranton got only 1 point, I think he handled the situation quite well, all things considered. Especially how he used calm verbal communication and humor.
I think he scored 1 point because he was treating it like a joke.
Its also weird how he said that Jesse and Natan did almost as well as Jeff and Jordan and then Jeff and Jordan got double the points. To me their performances seemed the same while Ranton and Craig did a bit worse. But 1, 3 and 6 points are wildly different.
@@_______________00 Exactly, overall they all did pretty well but got massively different points. I think the whole comparative scoring system wasn't a great idea, especially for a challenge like this.
This is my favorite thing to watch right now! Simply top notch from the contestants, the challenges, sets and all ! I am honestly taken aback by how good this is!
