I'm a mild follower of mma and fighting sports. But everytime I see Bas Rutten, he puts a big grin on my face. What a cool guy, a class act and a proper man.
Everytime a bully (usually a bigger kid) tried to pick on me or fight me I always stood up to them and fought back. I was terrified as I was doing it but I couldn't help it, I just had to fight back. As a result I wasn't bullied and as I got older I had no problems. I'm not tough, I'm not a fighter but there was just something inside me that made me push back even if I was scared.
Make the cost to high for them to bother! Even those idiots can do that math. They will always take the path of least resistance because they have not spine.
I’m 42, more than 30 years in martial arts, I was bullied in middle school, actually because I was taking karate lessons instead of playing soccer and their argument was always “I can beat you even without karate”. But that helped me when I was ambushed at the town fair and I knocked out one of the bullies. They stopped making fun of me. I didn’t even wanted to go to that damn fair…
Just wanna say that back in high school my buddies and I used the lines from that Bas barfight instructional video for just about every situation you can imagine.
If anyone Doesn't like Bas. They should have their head examined. He's as genuine,humble&down to earth as a human being can be. As a fighter. He's a legend. As a human being he's a super-Legend.~ Respects Sir.
The bully was standing there in line for the lunch, and I was like “Hey, NEEERD! Gimme ur lunch money!”, and then I exploded his nose like a tomato under my knuckle!
Great discussion. A negative untruth always seems to travel fast, and is the one thing that gets focused on in the midst of many good things, sticks like super glue, and unless you have absolute proof to the contrary, such as recording, is impossible to convince people otherwise, and becomes your whole reputation. When I was in computer customer service, where we had customer survey cards that would be returned, there was a saying for this: “One 'Aw Shit' Wipes out a Thousand 'Attaboys'."
See this happens to everyone, every race, creed and color but if he was black the narrative would be that he was picked on because he was black. That's not the way it is. Every race is targeted, stop playing the race card when it happens to blatts.
My dad taught me to box and always said, “A bully wants a victim not a world title fight. Give him the title fight. Don’t think about anything else but inflicting as much pain on him as possible. Win or lose, you won’t have to fight him twice because HE won’t want it…and that’s what you want.”
I was just a kid and pre-teen when I took care of bullies, but no doubt, violence solved the issues, and quickly at that, contrary to the current stupid trend. Like if going to a teacher, parent, etc. will solve this. At that age, the "violence" is not that dangerous at all. No weapons, no punching power really so hardly ever any KOs just some minor pain and bloody noses.
Until that kid steals his dads gun and shoots you in your ass for embarassing him and "ruining his life". Happened at my school, so when I trained, I never wanted to resort to violence (only last resort), because you might be a better fighter, but you never know how far somebody else is willing to go to "win"
That's just why I feel kids should be allowed to fight. Plus they learn to pick themselves up & face conflict. Then when they're big enough to really hurt ppl, hopefully they won't want to, because they know it could go either way.
Bullying is fundamental to growing up. To finding self assurance and where you stand when confronted with static in your life. I was bullied a lot in 6th grade till one day I stood up for myself. Everytime after that I stood up for myself and if some threw the first punch I ended it after that. I threw a kid down a flight of stairs once. No one messed with me after that. I was a popular kid by the time I was in 9th grade. I found my confidence and self respect. Then others respected me. That lesson changed my life.
It's such a normal thing we don't even have a word for it in my language. Took me a while to wrap my head around the concept when I was learning English. I was viciously bullied as a kid, but I just saw it as dicks acting like dicks, nothing strange.
@@sirgallant5000 True, the word came around when I was in my teens and they were English words like "mobbing", "bullying". We didn't have words, I mean we did but they translate more to stuff like "teasing"/"hazing".
Problem is most don't realize some bullies like to fight, do so regularly, and become very good at it. Doesn't mean you don't stand, you do. Just prepare to lose and keep standing, that is the mentality to learn.
I learned how to deal with bullies in like 4th grade, turn around punch them in the nose as hard as you can.. and they leave you alone. I had to pop 3-4 bullies throughout school and it stops them. in 2023 we call them trans or non binary, they should get the same treatment.
I,m dutch like bas . And we learned to fight for your place on the playground . If you got bullied you knew you couldn't come home crying , yes you could but no one had any sympathy for you . It was like this ...ok who did what to you and why ? My excuse Didn't matter ,3 boys attacked me no reason ,,he was much bigger I didn't do anything wrong .. Yeah right ... do you know where they are now ? Euh yes.. OK go back ,on your way you put some rocks in your pockets look for a big stick Walk towards them and hit the first one with that stick .. and the rocks ? That's back up mostly you don't need them ,the rest of them got the message. . Best advice ever ..you only need it once ..!lol
Who are you trying to impress? What you describe is not the situation for many kids today. It is a tougher world for them now than before. Deck your bully and expect to be harrassed irl and on the social medias and worse, for a long time. You can expect to be moved from the school and be reprimanded, while the bully goes free. But of course, YOU would be such a tough kid today that the bullies wouldn't dare do that to you. You ignorant dingo.
Dutchman here.....exactly the same as described. I used to be too soft, while being bigger than most my age.....guess it was due to that, I was tall and most figured I was older than how I looked and so didn't behave that way. Anyway, at one point my father was done when I came at the door again crying and told me to get a big piece of wood and club the guys bullying me.......and I did. Thankfully not one of those guys directly but one of their bikes, which they jumped off and ran when I went at them in berserker mode. The bike took serious damage. So my father got a visit from another father, whom agreed I should man up, both had a good laugh, damages covered by insurance, all good......after that those other kids became neighbourhood friends I played with. When I was 12 I noticed myself I had to be careful hitting people, as not to permanently damage them. Just like Bas my parents moved, from a small town closer to Amsterdam and being the new kid they will try you......I waited for the right guy to challenge me, beat him into total oblivion....a construction worker had to pull me off him as the whole school watched this happen. Never ever had any problem with people after that, I now was that guy you better not messed with.......great. I was.....am, a real big 6f6 guy, shy and silent type.....grew a bit more social over time, but deep inside I'm that same kid......leave me alone and things will be fine, push me and you'll be in a world of pain. Never needed any martial arts for that and I have fought guys like that and with guys like that.....the latter who always told me they wouldn't like to face me, the former learned that the hard way. 🤣
I’m 46 American white man from Oklahoma it’s the same here my dad would be like who was it do you know where he lives so we drive over there and fight in the front yard my dad was pretty rough so at 10 I had to fight a 12 year old untill he quit
We had a healthy mixed group of friends- white, Mexican, black- and everyone made fun of each other. Now everyone is sensitive and we can't have any fun.
I wonder if bullies should ever be thanked. Bas was very successful because of them, so was Tyson. Without these awful cowards, there wouldn't be the brave fighters that overcame them.
Hi it's Simon again... The thing is Bas the trendy man is that if you ask all the gossip gilrs like Suying, Julie and all the gossip girls is that if you want to go very far in time like high school in th 90's then I was not the bully... I was the nerd getting bullied so... While you're there can you make sure that GSP also clearly get the message.
Interesting point about people wanting to believe lies. At some point in time I had to proof that I was sane, to a psychiator who thought and was told otherwise. When starting at that point there is absolutely nothing you could say or do that proves your sanity. Everything wil simply get explained as a "devious manipulating plot" or otherwise "doing good out of guilt". I like to share these moments here, in the comments. Because thats where I was whenever I was in a bad state. And that 0.1% chance my typing helps someone makes it worth doing it.
I was'nt that brave as a kid but i ended up doing some Judo that i enjoyed, a couple of instances at school where i did a couple of throws terminated the whole situation .All boys and girls should learn some self defense .

So is Jesse, of course in a different way.
Just wanna say that back in high school my buddies and I used the lines from that Bas barfight instructional video for just about every situation you can imagine.
"sMAACK his face"
"Im sorry sir, but I'm going to break your leg"
"DANGADADANGADANK"
You Bet Ya 😈😈😈😈☺
Bas ruttens instructional video on how to turn a small verbal disagreement to a first degree murder. Absolutely love it
"Now, he tried to kill you, so you have to return the favor"

Bas is a cool down to earth guy!! Like the interviewer as well. Subbed
Jesse is awesome!!
Sick shirt too👌
Bas has been my favorite MMA fighter/comedian since 04. He’s the truth and an amazing guy!
What!? Youtubing bas AND jess separetly last days or so and now i find them sitting here toghether. Feeling greatful now.
Such an articulate man. He was probably the scariest fighter at the time, I remember it vividly.

You just gotta love Bas.
This is the sort of man kids should follow and idolise
Decent human being
Respects others
Would love to have a beer with this guy
A follower of Christ too
"excuse me sir, but I'm going to have to break your leg. No one messes with El Guapo". - Bas Rutten
Bas has always life lessons to give.
See this happens to everyone, every race, creed and color but if he was black the narrative would be that he was picked on because he was black. That's not the way it is. Every race is targeted, stop playing the race card when it happens to blatts.
Exactly ✊✊
Yea i hatw victims
@@Godisinkontrol There are no victims dumb dumb.
Well, ofcourse you can be picked on for being a minority. Just not in this case. Rather dumb of you to bring this up out of nowhere actually.
That's why I train bjj 😎 wrestled in high-school and did t have to worry about bullies much!!
Bas is the GOAT a legend he is a man's self help guide. Watching from Scotland peace and love to all
Wasn't expecting this pairing. Nice.
Bas Rutten... what an extraordinary guy! ☯
Great job gettin Bas on. LEGEND
2 legends in this sitdown!
I loved watching Bas way back in the day. One of my favorites.
All these years I didn’t know two of my favourite people were on the same show.
He is a fine example of how to behave and have respect for fellow humans.
Always liked Bas.
Bullies only want one thing: an easy target.
Don't be an easy target, and you won't have a bully problem.
Need more of Bas on this subject 👍

It's always a pleasure to see El Guapo speak.
Great stuff.
2 legends Bas and Jesse 😳
Bas should make a youtube channel just for 'Dealing with Bullies'. I'm sure the bully population would shrink exponentially within a very short time.

Thank you Jesse for having Bas on the show. His perspective on racism in Holland versus United States was very interesting.
Good interview
Great guest
I fought with bullies because I am not scared and never have killed them.
Problem is most don't realize some bullies like to fight, do so regularly, and become very good at it. Doesn't mean you don't stand, you do. Just prepare to lose and keep standing, that is the mentality to learn.
This guy has knocked the wind out of people and KO'd them with the palm of his hand. Imagine the regret that comes with offering him a free shot.
Not good at all😂 He has palms of steel. He can Pop a eye socket or a rib with a palm strike quick

Can't believe you got El Guapo on your show!!
That’s often from a Vit D deficiency in the mother while pregnant
That's what made him a warrior
Stand up for yourself, absolutely, but if you're still triggered by a bully, enough to lose control, you're still a puppet.
Schools and police could severily condemn bullies, this is not fair for that who want to stand up but would still be in troubles for standing.
2 down to earth men.
What's not to like about El Gaupo?
One of the lowest forms of character trait is that of a bully.

Bas for President!
Holland is a social democratie .......not a socialist country......... BIG difference
You have to deal with yourself before you can confront a bully. I was my worst enemy as a child.
It's easy. Close comments reactions. Close FB, Twitter and so on.
It's easier to deceive people than convince them they've been deceived.
my dad was the type to say dont come home crying about it take care of it if you cant win a fight pick up big stick and try again
horrible advice, not everything is solved with more violence
I got the same, my grandad would beat the shit outta me and force me to go back and fight the person again. It made me crazy and highly unstable.
Bas is the real deal
Love Jesse I just subscribed
