@OfficialBasRutten Practicing Catholic here, I was so glad you've come home especially in this period of crisis we're experiencing in the Catholic Church. First I think with people like El Guapo on our side we stand a fighting chance, second you should know this video is helping a lot a friend of mine who's fighting addiction demons. Thank you Bas🙏
Yeah anout that I heard him talk, he mostly spoke about how he saw ghosts when he as was young and basically now believes in a higher power . He said nothing about Jesus Christ dying or realizing he needed a saviour !!?? He said he goes to a Catholic Church now and he is happier! DID I MISS SOMETHING ?
There’s nothing better than getting a good sweat, eating a good meal and enjoying the mountains and the wilderness. Feeling the sun and the wind. Hearing the birds
All this advice is GOLD. I'm 40. Your priorities will change to be more life extending and family orientated. Turn off the news, you're missing nothing. God speed
I'm amazed how even the man who used to be a world class athlete and one of the greatest fighters on earth had trouble being disciplined after retirement. We are all humans, stay humble fellas
Best piece of advice I have ever heard. I have quit drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine. I don't follow politics or religion. The vices I am working on now are sugar and anger. Nobody is ever free of working on themselves. Wish you the best of luck on the rest of your journey.
You are doing great, impressive my friend! Sugar and anger, sugar just take 10% less each week (it's what I did) and anger is a hard one, but it's getting there now. I always tell myself that "is getting angry going to help me with my problem?" And the answer is pretty much always NOPE. So then I don't do it, haha
@OfficialBasRutten Thanks mate. Will try 10% on the sugar. Anger is a hard one, mainly in stressful situations. Will keep grinding away. It's all we can do. Lifes good otherwise 💪
This is just like a passage i read in the bible yesterday. It was the book of Matthew, it went something like this... "Don't make promises you can't keep, it is better you don't make promises at all, you either do it, or you don't"... That really stuck with me as it is what i really needed to hear, i am eating healthier but i need to lose a few extra pounds and you Bas really drove it home with this, so thankyou.
Love hearing this, I love Matthew as well, some really great pointers there. Biggest one from was7:3-5. Because I was doing that (sorry you have to look it up, busy!!) Thank you!
I needed to hear this, Thanks Bas. Right now, I'm bed ridden from a heart condition and waiting for it to improve. Yet, there are still things within my control. I can change the time I wake up. I can stop vaping. I can improve my diet. I can commit to making my videos on schedule. I can't do much physically until my heart condition resolves, but I can commit to the little bit that I can safely do. Sometimes (especially if you run into a health problem), you feel like life is completely out of your control. I realize now, that's simply not true. I can improve my life, and set myself up for an even better life once I'm better. Once again, thank you Bas.
Tom PLEASE give CoQ10 a hard look. It is essential to the heart beating for a lifetime without rest. When levels drop...the heart gets "tired" and weak. There are success stories on the web of people coming off of transplant lists because of supplementation. Good luck and God Bless Tom....Gene :)
I don’t think I’ve EVER been freaked out by such plain words! Bus had issues with drugs and alcohol! Shocking I was in disbelief! Goes to show people you think have everything figured out and vic/versa you truly never know what’s happening w/people deep down, some hide it well. Bas has been a huge inspiration to me.
I’m so glad I found you brother…I was an avid weed smoker. I drank, I smoked cigarettes and I was a sugar nut….19 months ago I became Carnivore..Drugs gone, alcohol gone, sugar gone…cigarettes have been gone for a while…The force within me now is impressive! I restarted my Reno business. I feel I had never lived before…I now chase happiness and bliss!! Thank you Bas! You’re an inspiration.
Such an encouragement! I am addicted to sugar and the phone and coffee (decaf, but still....sugar.). I could do so much more for myself and my family without my scrolling
Bas I was a kid when you were fighting and recently I’ve been watching my elderly parents and family leave me one at a time. Suffered a few injuries and training slowed down after 20 years of lifting and ups and downs and loosing my reasons for training. The vanity aspects are gone and now it’s more of just a routine and I’m back training back in church talking to the Lord more and proud of my Catholic faith and not apologizing for any of it. The way you broke it down makes it so easy to understand with Harvard example and all! Finding myself lost in life just getting into my 40s trying to find reasons to keep going I found myself mesmerized at your fighting style one night captivated watching the oldies all night and then hearing your life story relating to the early years with dealing with certain things really took it home! Then to see you were Catholic and one more story about the soul well never could I describe an experience that I personally had up until you told your story of the surgery room light could I understand what I experienced! Up from when it happened at 19 years old until this year few weeks ago when I heard you describe the soul I would keep it to myself only thinking of it as oh wow what a fun night we were indulging in our vices and instead of one let’s do 5 aww man we were having fun, yeah right but after the emergency room story I now know 100% about the soul and it not only enforced my faith in our branch insertion Messiah but understand what happened when I looked down and saw myself laying on the ground with my friends standing there talking waiting for me to wake up! Thank you for all your work and wisdom I idolize no man but your my mentor and favorite Catholic my friend ! I even had my elderly mother listening to your stories recently and brought us together for a moment! Do you have a email or any way I could reach out ? Either way thank you sir for all that you do keep the faith and you’ll be in my prayers sir!
Bedankt Bas. Jou video’s helpt me goed op weg naar verlossing en het geeft me kracht! 💪 Godzijdank. Ik hoop dat je nog vele gelukkige en gezonde jaren tegemoet krijg zodat je jou positieve energie kan blijven uitstralen. 🙏
Bas, thank you so much for speaking truth and sharing this. I had 90 days of sobriety last year. I was in the AA program, but I hadn't started to work the steps. My disease told me I was different and I could "use responsibly". What followed was a 8 month relapse where I went back to everything I was doing before and as the program says, things got worse, not better. The first time I got sober, hearing Mark Coleman's story was a huge influence on me. During my relapse, I came across this video. I began using the Exodus 90 app, as you suggested. I still wasn't clean and sober but the seeds were being sown. It is now April 2nd, 2024, the worst of the withdrawals are behind me and I have 4 days clean and sober. I'm back in the program and I'm eager to "stick around until the miracle happens" and to work the steps to realize a fundamental personality change. When I tell people my story, I will always mention Bas Rutten and this video. Thank you sir. My family is beyond grateful and relieved. And I am so thankful to have another chance at this beautiful thing called life. All glory to God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
THIS LEGEND IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A WORLD CLASS FIGHTER. SO DEEP IN MIND , HEART AND SOUL. KEEP UP THESE VIDEOS MANY ARE LISTENING LIKE MYSELF. THANKYOU. BAS. SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN, 12-1-2024
I'm now on 11 months with the cold showers (every single day cold showers even when the weather outside is cold) which I got on after Bas' post on Facebook a while back early this year on the 3 month test (Exodus 9)....I love Bas man...he is very inspiring and speaks right from the heart... Keep doing what you do sir 💯
Me too...could even treat my asthma with this...additionally also the wim-hof-breathing workout and what is totally crazy: I used during my attacks a tiger-eye-necklace....one day later I was asthma-free after 3 days on!
Did u know that cold showers actually slows aging? Instead of ur cells constantly degrading as usual, apparently they kinda get shocked into rejuvenating instead
@@nSpiraliArchitectb alot of benefits: 1. Weight gain is less because your body has to boost it's metabolism (hence burns fats in the process) which increases body heat as a result of a higher liver and heart rate to compensate for body temp loss whenever you have a cold shower 2. Discipline in other areas - I'm on a calithenics and jogging journey and the cold showers have greatly helped me achieve certain milestones with it by keeping the focus to be able to endure physical stress 3. Save on gas and electricity bills lol 💯 4. It prepares you for many kinds of scenarios where you can bath anywhere without needing a warm water, say you have a gas and electricity blackout for a week! If you are used to cold showers and as long as your water supply isn't affected you are good to go! 5. Cold water is by far better than warm water when it comes to easing the pain from muscle cramps in my opinion especially after you have exercised, though it depends on the type of injury one has as some injuries might require hot water others cold.
I wish that I had seen this earlier. My worst vice is SUGAR! I recently had stopped eating it and felt so much better. I had even planned on walking again for exercise. But, I am a sissy and I definitely need to man-up so that I can be around longer for the grandkids we've raised, and to be a better example for them. This video is very important to me, I seriously needed to hear it. I'll take notes the next time around. Thank you so much! God bless you and your family!
"Anger is a vice" - that's absolutely perfect. I think he's spot on! It's the ultimate self indulgent act, if I'm being honest with myself. Rutten is making a lot of sense. God bless him - beauty for ashes, regarding his addiction... I had NO idea he even had a substance problem.
Perfect listen while I run 5 miles this AM. Thank you, Bas! Great to hear you be so humble in your own experiences/journey. Makes me reflect on what I need to consider changing in my own habits/routine.
Geez Bas, would love to spend some time with a person such as yourself. Whole world has gone crazy for me. My dad,a pastor, took the vax to go to the USA to continue his ministry. He knew I was shocked because he instantly started giving his excuses when I conveyed my concerns. 3 weeks later, he was lying dead in a Pittsburgh hospital. Presbyterian I believe... Please stay true to what you are doing. It certainly is God's will. You are relevant, meticulous and bold. You are set to make an even greater impression as a warrior of Christ, than you did - impressively as a world class fighter - back in the day. This is what you were truly born for! Your talks are inspirational...
Very sorry to hear about your dad. I know what you feel. My mom had a stroke, my dad needed to take the vax to visit, also got a stroke after and passed away last year March. Scary stuff my friend. No worries, I will keep on pushing for sure! Wish you all the best my friend!
I just want to echo what some of the other commentators said, Bas, your return to Christ and the way you've battled through adversity and the example you set is so inspiring to me. Thanks!
God Bless, Bas! Christ is King and what you are providing this world has a value that is beyond quantification. Grateful to live in a time where I have access to your brilliant insight.
Just as impactful as his early tapes on how to win bar fights. Crazy how Bas has transmuted his passion for combat towards his passion for helping others.
This is a simple truth that is not simple to follow. But as you said once we understand what and who is driving us down we have a chance to turn around our life…
Bas, you are a man of honor... a hero. Thank you for telling it like it is and equipping people who truly want to change the lives they have been given for the better. It's so easy these days to point the finger at someone and tell them that they are wrong in order to boost their own pride or ego, however, someone who truly cares about the betterment of others will lead them to the water. Definitely what I needed to hear. No more pressing the snooze button. This scripture came to mind while I was watching you share. It is from Matthew 16:26 "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? You weren't willing to forfeit Bas. OSS!!!
I always had the ultimate respect for Bas before this latest series! But now, WOW!!!!! As much as he was a savage in the ring/cage, being this open publicly is absolute beast mode!!!! Bas, YOU ARE DA CHEESE DAWG!!!
Even the greatest of physical conflicts will become trivial at best, when you have a strong mind and a strong spirit! Don't let your best asset become your worst enemy.. If you do not show yourself the love and respect that you deserve, what chance does anyone else have? Thank you, Bas, for continuing to inspire us all. You are the role model that this world needs and will ALWAYS be my Hero!
To mě přece učíte vy... Přece ze mě děláte lepšího člověka :D Tim, že mi obtěžujete život :D Jednou na vás v Bohnicích udělají úžasnou studií :D Život je hořký, bohudík!! Na ty, kdo mají jasno! Nic nás nezastaví:D Vám jenom mrdá v bedně :D
Every point here is absolute truth. Listen up especially young people learn from this man and your life will be so much better. Just try his ideas for 30 days. Awesome guy . If he can admit he’s weak I think we all can admit we yes we can stand admitting our own faults and correct them for our own good. Great video, wise words.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… Bas out here trying to do good for people, God bless you sir. The father upstairs is good and he sees and hears everything.
I love your videos. Theres so much garbage out there on you tube. You actually want to help people improve their lives and give specifics on how. I look forward to your future content. Keep up the good work.
Yo!! I am a fan of your fights and older videos, but now I'm going down the rabbit hole of your RUclips videos and man this is great. I'm also a recovering addict, and more importantly, very much active in my Catholic faith. These videos are cool because I feel like you are my family. Peace be with you 💪😎
54, drinker and cocaine user(heavy). Had a few periods of sobriety in the past . Joined new gym. Changed to carnivore diet(for6-8 weeks) as it helps with intermittent fasting and sugar etc etc etc . Meditating . Cycling. I am lucky enough to work for myself so took a few weeks off to do it . The most important thing, my relationship with God. All those little tell tale signs get stronger. The glimpses become clearer. Always been a fan of yours but never knew about your new beliefs. So happy for you and me. Now i can look through your videos which will help me through my battle. All the best on your journey . Ps........i am no longer a sissy ......went deep with that one lol
Dear Bas Rutten, Sir.! For me are your tips real gold. Im from amateur boxing and needs this cause i am in a bad private situation. Now i see your video and suddenly i become more mental power and feel motivated again. For me You are a Legend and a brilliant Fighter. Thanks for your support and God and our Lord Jesus Christ bless you.
Thank you Bas! I was a Marine at 17 and have mostly live a disciplined life. At 61.....I still workout however the discipline is waning at this age. Thank you for the "factual" pep talk I needed it brother. Congrats on your career and successes in life. Most of all....congrats on coming back to Jesus! Jesus is ALL we need....(not man made religion)! Please keep up the great videos.....and may God continue to bless you abundantly.......Gene :)
God bless you man. Ive never heard of you before but i watched one of your fights and i started watching more of your fights then i decided to check out if youve been doing anything else and you have. Im so blessed i found your channel and i get to listen to your talks. You make so much sense to me 🙏🏽
Great Master. Great Man. We are not made of stone or some kind of metal alloy. Even stone or metal alloys have the weaknesses. Bas is my Hero from childhood as a Fighter. Now, when I'm 42 He's my Hero as a Man. 100% of professionalism. When I am watching His movies, it brings my memories about hundreds of "kung-fu" movies from the '70s, where "old masters" always starts to "preaching" their students 😅 but it's not a kind of preaching - it's a sharing of life experience. The way of stoic-mind. Sky isn't a limit - mind is the limit. Thank you Mr. Bas. I wish you lot of health and inner peace ✌️ All the best for You and Your Family. BR form Poland.
Damn……straight up truth. I think myself and a lot others need to play this once a week. I am nearly 50 years old and have have struggled with mental strength for years. It’s all really within arms length…..just have to put the effort and time …..thanks Bas…❤
Dank je wel Bas. Ik ben ongeveer 16 jaar geleden enorm gemotiveerd geraakt en begonnen met kickboksen dankzij jou! Wat mij heel veel heeft gebracht (mentaal en fysiek). Toen ik dit filmpje zag wist ik dat het geen onzin motivatie preekje was maar iets waar veel mensen wat aan kunnen hebben. Ik wou dit altijd al een keer tegen je zeggen, ontzettend bedankt voor de motivatie die ik door jou filmpjes heb gekregen voor het kickboksen. Dat is echt dankzij jou en bedankt voor dit filmpje waar ik ook, net als het kickboksen, vol voor ga. Topper!
Man you are so right about politics! I did the same thing about ten years ago, I’m 55 and at 45 I finally realized that we couldn’t possibly know enough truth to have a educated opinion so I let it all go!!
Thanks a lot Bas. I come back to your videos when I need to find again the determination. I made up my mind to move into training MMA daily a week ago, but I kept missing days every now and then because of a social media addiction. I kept putting it on snooze; losing sleep hours, wasting valuable free time. Worst thing is: hardly noticed till now how much time I was losing. No more.
Bas, I found out about you through the self defense video with "bang,bang don't you ever do that" lines. Saw your early Pancras fights on the web and liked you ever since, now subed to your channel. Keep up the great work. Love all the work you do.
I love how Bas breaks things down and explains them - whether it's martial arts techniques or ideas and concepts. Very inspiring video here as always! 🙂
This video will save lives!! Many people just need that initial push/motivational to make that much needed change in lifestyle. This special message from El Guapo will definitely help many folks in need.
I am your fan for ever Legend!Thank you very much Mr.Rutten.Your next step will be like Musashi and the 5 rings,i hope soon for you!My best regards Champion of champions.Hope to have lucky to meet you as your fan and friend.Thank you for what you do for us and the next generation. All the best.
Bas, loved you as a fighter but next level love of you as a human since then. Superb advice and what I have done by also stopped drinking, hiding from my demons. God bless
Bas. Not only a fighter in the ring, but a coach of those fighting for life. Thank you sir! Just another reason to be a fan of this man.
Share this great video folks! This man and his return to Christ has made him want to speak about many good things! God bless!
Thank you, very nice! Godspeed

@OfficialBasRutten Practicing Catholic here, I was so glad you've come home especially in this period of crisis we're experiencing in the Catholic Church. First I think with people like El Guapo on our side we stand a fighting chance, second you should know this video is helping a lot a friend of mine who's fighting addiction demons.
Thank you Bas🙏
Yeah anout that I heard him talk, he mostly spoke about how he saw ghosts when he as was young and basically now believes in a higher power . He said nothing about Jesus Christ dying or realizing he needed a saviour !!?? He said he goes to a Catholic Church now and he is happier! DID I MISS SOMETHING ?
Only "Knowing" Bas from all i read about watched of him over the years, Bas has always been a good man.
how does this guy talk so well so effortlessly while being so funny and so insightful??? how?
There’s nothing better than getting a good sweat, eating a good meal and enjoying the mountains and the wilderness. Feeling the sun and the wind. Hearing the birds
Bas went from defeating martial artist to defeating Demons, the second is the hardest. 🙏🏼
All this advice is GOLD. I'm 40. Your priorities will change to be more life extending and family orientated. Turn off the news, you're missing nothing. God speed
Amen!
I'm amazed how even the man who used to be a world class athlete and one of the greatest fighters on earth had trouble being disciplined after retirement.
We are all humans, stay humble fellas
Best piece of advice I have ever heard. I have quit drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine. I don't follow politics or religion. The vices I am working on now are sugar and anger. Nobody is ever free of working on themselves. Wish you the best of luck on the rest of your journey.
You are doing great, impressive my friend! Sugar and anger, sugar just take 10% less each week (it's what I did) and anger is a hard one, but it's getting there now. I always tell myself that "is getting angry going to help me with my problem?" And the answer is pretty much always NOPE. So then I don't do it, haha
@OfficialBasRutten Thanks mate. Will try 10% on the sugar. Anger is a hard one, mainly in stressful situations. Will keep grinding away. It's all we can do. Lifes good otherwise 💪
This is just like a passage i read in the bible yesterday. It was the book of Matthew, it went something like this... "Don't make promises you can't keep, it is better you don't make promises at all, you either do it, or you don't"... That really stuck with me as it is what i really needed to hear, i am eating healthier but i need to lose a few extra pounds and you Bas really drove it home with this, so thankyou.
Love hearing this, I love Matthew as well, some really great pointers there. Biggest one from was7:3-5. Because I was doing that (sorry you have to look it up, busy!!) Thank you!
Great advice Bas, i hope you start doing live chats! Love & respect from your Nigerian brother over here in the UK.@@OfficialBasRutten
I needed to hear this, Thanks Bas. Right now, I'm bed ridden from a heart condition and waiting for it to improve. Yet, there are still things within my control. I can change the time I wake up. I can stop vaping. I can improve my diet. I can commit to making my videos on schedule. I can't do much physically until my heart condition resolves, but I can commit to the little bit that I can safely do. Sometimes (especially if you run into a health problem), you feel like life is completely out of your control. I realize now, that's simply not true. I can improve my life, and set myself up for an even better life once I'm better.
Once again, thank you Bas.
You're very welcome, I'm happy you believe it might help and I wish you all the best, will throw a prayer out for you buddy!
Tom PLEASE give CoQ10 a hard look. It is essential to the heart beating for a lifetime without rest. When levels drop...the heart gets "tired" and weak. There are success stories on the web of people coming off of transplant lists because of supplementation. Good luck and God Bless Tom....Gene :)
We're here for you man!
Go for it man.
Breathing exercises could get you out of bed.

Goes to show people you think have everything figured out and vic/versa you truly never know what’s happening w/people deep down, some hide it well. Bas has been a huge inspiration to me.
Appreciate it, thank you! Yeah, what you see on TV is not always the truth, we all have our vices. Happy I can share it now!

One of the best speeches i have ever heard, Bas god bless you man!
You're still the GOAT Bas! 👍👍👍
Wow wat mooi hoe je dit doet! Vanuit eigen ervaring en zoveel mogelijk naast de mensen staan, niet erboven.🎉🎉❤
Always been a fan of Bas, and found him to be a decent man, but I had no idea just how humble he really was
This is why I'm a big fan of Bas! You helped me man!

Well done BAZ!! Your the first to actively mention ;
“”EVERYBODY IS LYING””People just can’t accept its True
Solid info bas thank you 👍
"Anger is a vice" - that's absolutely perfect. I think he's spot on! It's the ultimate self indulgent act, if I'm being honest with myself.

I just want to echo what some of the other commentators said, Bas, your return to Christ and the way you've battled through adversity and the example you set is so inspiring to me. Thanks!
Appreciate it, thank you!
Merci Bas, jouw authenticiteit inspireert. Vallen en vooral niet vergeten terug op te staan. Kempische groet.
I am a simple man. When Bas speaks, I listen. Thanks for bestowing wisdom, Bas!
Appreciate it, thank you!
God Bless, Bas! Christ is King and what you are providing this world has a value that is beyond quantification. Grateful to live in a time where I have access to your brilliant insight.
Just as impactful as his early tapes on how to win bar fights. Crazy how Bas has transmuted his passion for combat towards his passion for helping others.
This is a simple truth that is not simple to follow. But as you said once we understand what and who is driving us down we have a chance to turn around our life…
Bas Rutten...a man of wisdom, delivered in a fantastically simple and inimitable style. Good stuff...
I just finished watching this video. It’s filled with great information that I want to use. You have my respect, Bas. Great channel too.
You need a seperate favorite folder for Bass videos. As always hits the target. Thanks Bass!
Bas, you are a man of honor... a hero. Thank you for telling it like it is and equipping people who truly want to change the lives they have been given for the better. It's so easy these days to point the finger at someone and tell them that they are wrong in order to boost their own pride or ego, however, someone who truly cares about the betterment of others will lead them to the water. Definitely what I needed to hear. No more pressing the snooze button.
This scripture came to mind while I was watching you share. It is from
Matthew 16:26 "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
You weren't willing to forfeit Bas. OSS!!!
I always had the ultimate respect for Bas before this latest series! But now, WOW!!!!! As much as he was a savage in the ring/cage, being this open publicly is absolute beast mode!!!! Bas, YOU ARE DA CHEESE DAWG!!!
Thank for listening to the fans Bas! We are happy to see you keep sharing your experiences and knowledge! 🙏🏻 GODSPEED
I'm addicted to God...I need more and more...I just can't get enough! 🙏Thanks Bas you are a true soilder of God.
Amen, and thank you! God is the only thing we need!
Exercise and working out in my opinion is the greatest anti-depressant on planet earth
Amen!!
The Man is a legend , a man of principles and morals
Even the greatest of physical conflicts will become trivial at best, when you have a strong mind and a strong spirit! Don't let your best asset become your worst enemy..
If you do not show yourself the love and respect that you deserve, what chance does anyone else have?
Thank you, Bas, for continuing to inspire us all. You are the role model that this world needs and will ALWAYS be my Hero!
Thank you so much!
Thank you, Bus ! I always knew, that you are an amazing person !
Could listen to Bas talk all day. Legend 👊🏻
Listen to the man! Hearing the same conclusions i arrived at after years of trial and error...really struck a cord! Bas, I salute you, sir!
Appreciate it, thank you!
For as long as I know this man, he's for sure one of my idols! Much respect
Excellent message and thank tou for sharing 👍.
You're the man, Bas. Thank you for sharing this sage advice.
Bas this video is a gem and i share it with closest friends. The optimism in your voice through your rough paths in your life is inspiring
This content is Gold. And it comes from the legend himself.
Blown away how good this video and its information is.
Bas is still in shape. Great mentor. Thanks for the advice El Guapo.
Thanks Bas, for Lent, 7yrs ago, I gave up being angry and my life view changed drastically. Love you my brother.
Yeah I had that one as well, what a blessing once you stop it right? OSU
To mě přece učíte vy...
Přece ze mě děláte lepšího člověka :D
Tim, že mi obtěžujete život :D
Jednou na vás v Bohnicích udělají úžasnou studií :D
Život je hořký, bohudík!!
Na ty, kdo mají jasno!
Nic nás nezastaví:D
Vám jenom mrdá v bedně :D
Thank you!
Experienced man, is a treasure for the youth, thanks Bas
I love watching Bas's old fights ............ world class BA !!! ..........
Every point here is absolute truth. Listen up especially young people learn from this man and your life will be so much better. Just try his ideas for 30 days. Awesome guy . If he can admit he’s weak I think we all can admit we yes we can stand admitting our own faults and correct them for our own good. Great video, wise words.
Bas you've mastered the art of giving solid, useful advice while being hilarious in the process! God bless you my brother in Christ!
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you… Bas out here trying to do good for people, God bless you sir. The father upstairs is good and he sees and hears everything.
Appreciate it, thank you!
I love your videos. Theres so much garbage out there on you tube. You actually want to help people improve their lives and give specifics on how. I look forward to your future content. Keep up the good work.
Yo!! I am a fan of your fights and older videos, but now I'm going down the rabbit hole of your RUclips videos and man this is great. I'm also a recovering addict, and more importantly, very much active in my Catholic faith. These videos are cool because I feel like you are my family. Peace be with you 💪😎
We are family my friend, thank you and I wish you all the best!! OSU
Thank you for calling out the weakness in today's society. Everyone else is scared to speak out against it!
Beautiful. Thank you brother. You have been through a lot.
54, drinker and cocaine user(heavy). Had a few periods of sobriety in the past . Joined new gym. Changed to carnivore diet(for6-8 weeks) as it helps with intermittent fasting and sugar etc etc etc . Meditating . Cycling.
I am lucky enough to work for myself so took a few weeks off to do it .
The most important thing, my relationship with God. All those little tell tale signs get stronger. The glimpses become clearer. Always been a fan of yours but never knew about your new beliefs. So happy for you and me. Now i can look through your videos which will help me through my battle. All the best on your journey .
Ps........i am no longer a sissy ......went deep with that one lol
Dear Bas Rutten, Sir.! For me are your tips real gold. Im from amateur boxing and needs this cause i am in a bad private situation. Now i see your video and suddenly i become more mental power and feel motivated again. For me You are a Legend and a brilliant Fighter. Thanks for your support and God and our Lord Jesus Christ bless you.
Thank you Bas! I was a Marine at 17 and have mostly live a disciplined life. At 61.....I still workout however the discipline is waning at this age. Thank you for the "factual" pep talk I needed it brother. Congrats on your career and successes in life. Most of all....congrats on coming back to Jesus! Jesus is ALL we need....(not man made religion)! Please keep up the great videos.....and may God continue to bless you abundantly.......Gene :)
Appreciate it, thank you! Amen!
@@OfficialBasRutten Amen brother. I moved to Thailand early this year. If you ever come to Thailand it would be an honor to meet you Sir! Gene:)
God bless you man. Ive never heard of you before but i watched one of your fights and i started watching more of your fights then i decided to check out if youve been doing anything else and you have. Im so blessed i found your channel and i get to listen to your talks. You make so much sense to me 🙏🏽
Bas, thanks for your help. You've always given back to the community, been responsive and cared about your fans. You're a good man.
Appreciate it, thank you!
I've only watched the 1st 10mins and can't wait to hear it all. Bas is smart. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge❤
Men need to listen to Bas. This man is real. Thank you for this video
You are welcome brother! Thank you
We really a appreciate you Bas, you’re not only a legendary fighter but teacher; a man of wisdom 🙏🏾.
We love you Bas; you're still the man..!
Appreciate it, thank you!
Great Master.
Great Man.
We are not made of stone or some kind of metal alloy. Even stone or metal alloys have the weaknesses. Bas is my Hero from childhood as a Fighter. Now, when I'm 42 He's my Hero as a Man. 100% of professionalism. When I am watching His movies, it brings my memories about hundreds of "kung-fu" movies from the '70s, where "old masters" always starts to "preaching" their students 😅 but it's not a kind of preaching - it's a sharing of life experience. The way of stoic-mind. Sky isn't a limit - mind is the limit. Thank you Mr. Bas. I wish you lot of health and inner peace ✌️ All the best for You and Your Family. BR form Poland.
Wonderful. I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏
Damn……straight up truth. I think myself and a lot others need to play this once a week. I am nearly 50 years old and have have struggled with mental strength for years. It’s all really within arms length…..just have to put the effort and time …..thanks Bas…❤
Bas you are legend. Every word is true. I am your opinion 100 percent
Wow, Bas, this is literally what I needed to hear! thank you!
Dank je wel Bas. Ik ben ongeveer 16 jaar geleden enorm gemotiveerd geraakt en begonnen met kickboksen dankzij jou! Wat mij heel veel heeft gebracht (mentaal en fysiek). Toen ik dit filmpje zag wist ik dat het geen onzin motivatie preekje was maar iets waar veel mensen wat aan kunnen hebben.
Ik wou dit altijd al een keer tegen je zeggen, ontzettend bedankt voor de motivatie die ik door jou filmpjes heb gekregen voor het kickboksen. Dat is echt dankzij jou en bedankt voor dit filmpje waar ik ook, net als het kickboksen, vol voor ga.
Topper!
Bas you are the gift that keeps on giving, wonderful man ❤
Man you are so right about politics! I did the same thing about ten years ago, I’m 55 and at 45 I finally realized that we couldn’t possibly know enough truth to have a educated opinion so I let it all go!!
Thanks a lot Bas. I come back to your videos when I need to find again the determination. I made up my mind to move into training MMA daily a week ago, but I kept missing days every now and then because of a social media addiction. I kept putting it on snooze; losing sleep hours, wasting valuable free time. Worst thing is: hardly noticed till now how much time I was losing. No more.
Good for you, it sneaks in so fast, it's crazy? Stay strong you will be so more relaxed in your body and mind
Bas, I found out about you through the self defense video with "bang,bang don't you ever do that" lines. Saw your early Pancras fights on the web and liked you ever since, now subed to your channel. Keep up the great work. Love all the work you do.
Thank you, yeah it's a little different now, haha. Godspeed!
I love how Bas breaks things down and explains them - whether it's martial arts techniques or ideas and concepts. Very inspiring video here as always! 🙂
Been following you since I heard the barfight-in-Sweden story on Rogan. As a catholic myself I'm happy to say, "welcome home"
This video will save lives!! Many people just need that initial push/motivational to make that much needed change in lifestyle. This special message from El Guapo will definitely help many folks in need.
Appreciate it, thank you!
"Divide et Impera". Nailed it, thank you for that.
Bas thank you so much for this. I come back and watch this three times, you are a very very wise man. Thank you ao much for this.
I am your fan for ever Legend!Thank you very much Mr.Rutten.Your next step will be like Musashi and the 5 rings,i hope soon for you!My best regards Champion of champions.Hope to have lucky to meet you as your fan and friend.Thank you for what you do for us and the next generation. All the best.
Musashi was an animal, warrior in the garden!!
Bas, loved you as a fighter but next level love of you as a human since then. Superb advice and what I have done by also stopped drinking, hiding from my demons. God bless
Happy you stopped it my friend!
Salute Bas!!! These insights hit harder than your measured blows on Fight Science! Thanks for transparency and tips!!
I watched and listen to this line 5 times man. So motivating thanks man. Hope to see more content like this from you in the future
Oh there will be, I have some videos on my IG page @sebaatiaanhaRutten. More wil come once I stop freaking traveling!
