All jokes aside, we need to change the way women are treated, marketed to and portrayed in the self defense industry. That is the worst part of these things.
Pink firearms
That's why i like when you do videos with women, cause you teach real life scenarios that'll hopefully motivate other women and show them they can do it too🙌🙌🙌🙌
Watching some of the advice from them was surreal, hope to get such an accommodating attacker next time out.
A lot of scams for womens self defense out there.
Completely agree! 👍
Mike having no idea what to do with hair will never stop being funny to me.
Hahah I wouldn’t either
As a guy with long hair I have some tips for Mike because he seems to wear the wig a lot, brush the hair beforehand, tuck it behind his ears but if you're in the wind you have no chance.
@@dyingtolive3147 It‘s basically like standing on an explosive. „NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS“ 😆
He looks like Willie Nelson
@@lasagnasux4934 He looks great with or without hair tbh
This video will save someone's life, I mean not against a physical attack, they'd be fkin dead, but maybe the laughs will make their day happier and rethink their lives
😂😂
This laughter is improving my mental health
He got the first one wrong lol. In technique the woman never kicks the guy in the nuts. Mike actually improved the technique.
Mike has clearly learnt the most important rule in martial arts: always re-stomp the groin.
@@OptimusSledge :D
I was thinking about the scenario of that one. They were on a slippery floor with the man having shoes with no traction, so maybe you could make him do the splits. But, yeah the third kick into groin is what made that one almost practical.
The videos with that one specific guy always seem designed to show off his flexibility.
Everything about this is perfection.
Seth bumbling about in the background. Mike's wig. Seth getting hurt. The final thoughts. All perfect.
Heckkkk yes
"Drugs....I've got so many drugs here.......I'm a bad guy...."
I forgot it was a wig
@@danb3529
I read this right before Seth said it
Troom Troom: "oH No, SaRa Is GeTtInG kIdNaPpEd!!1"
the backround songs: 🌸🌟🌟😃😃
Maybe being kidnapped is the real life hack?
@@wolfhawk1999 now that's just kinky
They're in on the joke, they have to be
Also, Mike struggling to climb Seth while grunting "upsies" deserves some kind of award, I'm cackling so loud at 2:30 am 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lolol, yeah, "upsies" was probably the highlight of the whole video. 😂
This video is awesome, and hilarious, and it has a great message. That being said: Troom Troom self defense videos are so bad, I wouldn’t even test them out in my bad self defense series because I assumed they were a joke. When my kids found some of them on RUclips, they wouldn’t stop laughing about how bad they are. I mean, when a six and nine year old instantly know it’s garbage, what are the chances that any adult human being with a modicum of intelligence would take Troom Troom seriously as self defense advice? Maybe the real problem is that Troom Troom is marketed on RUclips as “made for kids” so it ends up being recommended to children on RUclips’s kids platform. Not every child has a dad who has coached them in combat sports since they could walk.
To be fair, your kids already have a wealth of knowledge that a lot of adults are lacking.
You also have to account for how naturally lazy we are as a species, so anything that looks like it can protect you while using the least amount of energy (in both the technique and in terms of energy spent training) will always be appealing to those who live a more sedentary lifestyle.
And then, there is the Dunning-Kruger effect. People gain a little bit of knowledge on things like pressure points and think they know a lot, then see those terrible videos that enforce this belief through "practical demonstrations".
I've actually had friends sharing such videos on Facebook. As soon as I get them to tag someone they know who has boxing experience in those posts, they quickly learn how terrible those videos really are. Because they will always believe a boxer over a martial artist on account that they can actually understand how boxing works.
Lots of adults don't have a modicum of intelligence unfortunately. But as you said the real problem is this is targeted to a demographic that is still developing reasoning skills and expects all knowledge to be in short form clips instead of long form training. It's bad stuff. Although I would love to see you do these videos in your series.
Ramsey that's no excuse. We want you to team up with these guys. :-)
@@davidhoffman6980 it beneath the Panera Bread of youtube coaches. Though I think coach could have gotten a triangle choke on the climbing one.
Your videos portray alot of them really unfairly though like you aren't even trying to make them work. you just know they are bad so you don't try, it doesn't educate anyone.
9:08 That technique is Lethal..
Mike with that wig ...No one survives that 😂
Omg ur here :0
Hey, man! Love your Kalari videos!
Two fully-grown man laughed, while chasing each other around the shed. Well, I had good time watching, thank you XD
It was only missing the Benny Hill music.
@@chbu7081 I agree, but music in the video is very good too
Comedy gold😂
9:30 remember ladies: when you’re being attacked, do nothing and turn your back to your assailant. Thanks troom troom!
In reality the women would be raped !
In fact I feel like there's an ad right no-
Genius Seth, pure genius
I didn’t get an Ad and I was very disappointed
@@georgekoutsoudis2339 the only time you'll ever be sad to not have an ad in the middle of a video
My god this was legendary
Hahaha it worked?!
@@SenseiSeth Worked for me. You're a genius.
The climbing thing works great. Not sure for a smaller person, but when I climb someone as a 6'4" guy who weighs 265, they STAY climbed.
and at that height climbing someone takes two steps
Why would he let you climb him?
He can just smash you to the ground while you are trying to climb him
@@jamjambo351 That's just one of the many problems with these videos, in order for a technique like that to work the women they're marketing need to have Brian Shaw levels of grip strength (I doubt the average woman has grip strength on the level of the 4x World's Strongest Man Brian Shaw.) Master acrobats might be able to pull off some of these things, but the average person (male or female) would not be able to do that, for the OP it's more of a point where if you're large enough most attackers wouldn't be able to do much if you decided to take them to the ground. But once again grip strength and control of your body comes into play.
"stay climbed"... You mean, keep the position, I assume? Cuz a smaller person prolly would just collapse. But as a trained person, I'd likely do the first few moves in kata wanshu.
Mike is kind of like Rick from the Walking Dead. You can tell where they're at in their character arc by the haircut.
Hahahhha
Mike: "Ok so you're gonna come pin me against a wall."
Seth: "Sweet."
My, you youngsters sure don't waste any time, do you?
You guys are deep. This video was so epic. Most people missed the small details you all put into your production. The side story that started in 8:23 came to fulfillment at 11:12 . Great character development! Oscar worthy !
"Look at all these drugs I have" pretty much every PSA of the 80s.
having a jar of fire ants is the greatest self-defense technique.
Oh man! Icy Mike and Seth are the best boys to play around with “self-defense hacks”. Also, Icy Mike with long locks, not bad
“There’s no hacks to save your life” icy mike 2021
This technique might save your life... don't stop breathing.
5:15 "Ladies, trust your instincts **tosses hair back with sass**
Hahahaha
"oh hello I like your beard". Gonna have to start using that on the ladies now.
He went from Mike to Duuude (with three U’s)
Excellenttt
@@SenseiSeth Righteous, mannnnn
Some of the best reinacting I've ever seen! Great work!
And I totally agree with Mike's closing statement! Troom Troom shows really dark situations, way more so in the vid Sensei Seth reacted to last month, but they have the sweet voice with the patronizing and happy-go-lucky tone that actually downplays the events women can find themselves into!
Scumbags for sure
“I’ll wear a wig but I’m not gonna wear a pad” oh Mike 😂😂😂
They should really start a comedy channel together, I was laughing till I was crying watching this and it's really hard to get me to even chuckle, this is just pure comedic genius
Why so many kicks? In a street fight the most used attack is the "Hay maker" and "hook" which should be the main thing to defend against
You would think that they would have used Patrick Mc Carthy's Habitual Acts of Physical Violence as a reference source.
These videos were geared to stereotypes of how men on the street attack women, which is not haymakers and hooks. It's more grappling and body control than anything which is why they were confused when the bad guy kicked her.
Most portrayed moves are kick and rear chokes (I have seen another troom response vid with like 4 rear chokes) while the kick is rare even in such a situation, and you shouldn't let people come at you from behind so the choke isn't very useful either.
And then there is the truly stupid stuff like the extending umbrella.
@@Olav_Hansen extending umbrella?
“I’ll wear a wig but I’m not gonna wear a pad.” That was gold! 🤣
Dude looks like a lady!
Have you ever seen a lady? Maybe he looks like a lady dwarf, but certainly not a human lady.
@@katethegreat4918 it’s an Aerosmith song title from the 80’s. If a SoCal dude looks like a lady according to Steven Tyler, who am I to call him a liar? 😉
But to be honest mike rocks the long hair look in my opinion
I was genuinely disappointed he refused the wear a pad 🙄
@@bluebearie7230 right? No commitment. Typical 🤣
I thought she slapped the attackers ears with her palms when she climbed him.
great video! =)
Looks like it
Yeah I think it‘s supposed to be based on a technique where you try to force pressure into the person‘s ears this way, damaging their ear drums, which painful and disorientating. I wouldn‘t count on it working reliably enough for every person though, but worst case scenario, a hit in the head is a hit in the head and will still be somewhat disorientating hopefully. 🤷♀️
Discombobulate
Sound advice.
Now help me climb on someone's shoulders to try out the technique haha.
@@CoachKyleZ kick the groin so the attacker leans forward, maybe even go on his knees like Seth did in the beginning. Just make sure give it some time because the pain can kick in late.
You are welcome
"Oh hey, I like your beard."
That's what I tell my wife when she wakes up in the morning.
I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Breaking the umbrella sent me over the top lol.
This is probably one of the funniest videos you have released
Thanks a ton!
Agreed, we should see more. How about Sensei Seth being the woman in that Aerobics Self Defence video...all that spandex.
Love Seth just looks at his hands and says "DRUGS"
That made me laugh 🤣
I'm 6ft tall and legit the next time someone attacks me I am trying my hardest to sit on their shoulders.
Jump on them like Mario, that should do the trick
@@alexkozliayev9902 Can goomba-stomping be considered self-defence?
This is why my wife trains *with me.* We don't entertain these kinds of fantasy scenarios, we drill and condition and lightly spar. And she knows how to run the hell away.
7:03 i like how there was an actual ad
Yeah lol
Legendary add transition. I've been excited for this video when you brought it up at the seminar in Charlotte on Saturday. Funny as always.
Ayeeee, great meeting you!
This video is possibly my favourite video you guys have made - this was hilarious. Also, really appreciated how clear you made it you weren't making fun of women but the videos themselves. It was clear before you guys stated it too.
Now we know Mike’s weakness it’s not the groin or the throat it’s his manly chest hair
Also the idea behind those strange ones is that if you do something extremely odd or confusing the attacker won't know how to respond.
"i'll wear a wig but not pads" -Icy Mike
Real icon
Honestly I would expect Mike to be the kind of person to carry a hair tie "just in case." Tactical Hair Tie video when?
I would totally watch that video!
You guys have a great comedic timing it’s a serious topic but I cannot help the way you presented it in a hilarious way I was over here with tears laughing
The chemistry between you two is gold! Keep up the good work 👏
I would love to see a smaller woman catch the kick of a fully grown man, then hold the leg long enough to sweep the dude haha
To be fair, if the fully grown man is just untrained, they're not going to throw a good kick. They might even slip and fall on their own.
You mean you would love to see any video of a good woman kickboxer vs the average guy that has ever been on youtube?
depending on the training it might actually work, I know a girl that's like 1.75cm or less but is also an italian kickboxing champion. Her name is Rossella Setti and she beat up 5 guys taller than her that wanted to mug her and her boyfriend, pretty interesting story that goes to show how much of a difference real martial arts can make.
An extremely well-trained straw/flyweight would be able, I guess. But the average woman would not!
@@SwordTune They wouldn't even throw a RH kick!!
Y’all are comic gold with a dash of information.
Imagine being a mugger, and you try to rob a woman, but when you get close, you realize too late that she is actually Icy Mike in a wig. You turn to run, but then Mike jumps on your back yelling "Upsies! upsies! Upsies!" as he climbs onto your shoulders and knocks you unconscious by mildly pushing down on the back of your head. An absolute nightmare.
I love Seth's random stuff in the background
this is the most hilarious video I've seen today.
Also, I agree with mike. Women (including me) have anything but the "oh, I don't know where I'm standing" attitude in the streets. We are usually very aware of the people that's around us, if just because it's what we've been taught to avoid trouble and danger. People, we're not dumb, thanks.
At 10:53 makes me wanna see y’all recreate black widows stunts
5:47 ah yes, the Dead By Daylight defense technique
Open a new dojo that teaches these techniques LOL
Haha I’m sure somebody else already does
I now know why Icy Mike carries a hair band at all times 😀 but seriously, great video 🤘
Also loved how Icy Mike notes that women have great intuition. My wife is aware, it's scary sometimes. It's like she's psychic 😶
It's the non-stop daily practice every moment she's out of the house since she was 12 or 13 years old. Do anything that much time you get good at it.
The thing you said about women's instincts is so true. Many moons ago as a teen I was sitting in a self defense seminar and through peer sharing I found out my lady friends lived in a much different world. Changed my life. So important to have informed women self defenders involved in teaching women. You rock Mike! Love seeing you work with sensei Seth! (You rock too!)
I agree. Often these techniques are not taking into account the difference in strength and stature between the attacker and victim. Sure you can learn how to use someone's weight to your advantage but not by watching a RUclips video. You need to train against many different opponents in order to understand the mechanics for yourself. And if I hear one more man say the best thing to do is just give them what they ask for I will scream. Generally men's primary concern in these situations is being mugged. But that is not the case for women. Generally when women think about being attacked their main concern is rape. You can easily replace your possessions but the trauma a woman could experience is going to last a lifetime. This sort of content suggests that these techniques will work for anyone without any training required and that's not the case. It's dangerous.
8:34 ok, that kick was actually pretty cool
I think Mike was just glad to have hair for a change 😂.
I personally think Mike was going for the John Corabi look from Motley Crue. 🤣 My bad 😛
The dance, oh my god, the dance. 03:40
That catch the knife and twist the arm thing has actually worked for me once. However it was on a much smaller and weaker opponent with no martial arts experience vs a bunch of grappling experience. But I’d say 99% of the time, you’re not going to be attacked by someone smaller and weaker than you
7:34
Seth creeping up like the Booty Warrior 🤣🤣🤣
This was comedy gold. 🤣
My favorite is the one where mike tried to climb onto Seth. It took him like five tries man.
11:12 skills 😎
The umbrella snap, and then calmly handing it back was hilarious. Most of the video was, but that part really got me.
7:46 I can never unsee this
These collabs are brilliant!
Hilarious video, conveys the proper message... and your final move with the umbrella (13:00) is the perfect summary, I loved it :)
You nailed it with this video. Especially the parting message.
The wig made it even better than I was hoping :D
Great job guys!
This type of video is funny. Good job
Sensei Seth: "I think there's an ad right no-"
Nissan: "The all new Nissan Z"
Me: 🥲
yeah.got an ad right then, too. Don't remember what it was tho I have adblock for my brain
I see by your profile pic that you’re a man of culture
"Rob me. But, gently"
Awww so romantic!
6:38 the best one
I love how when mike's slamming the trunk onto seth, you can see the pad shield bouncing along lmao
sensei seth, icy mike, houston jones, wonderboy collabs are entertainment gold. just about any combination of them.
I was taught the art of Peek-a-boo self defense as a very small child.
Works every time.
Snapping that umbrella was the pinnacle of comedy for me.
🤣🤣🤣
Troom Troom definitely looks like something low-budget made in Eastern Europe.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I couldn't stop laughing the whole video!!
You guys Rock 😜👍
MOREEE I NEED MORE OF THIS EXACT SAME CONTECT plus mike with a wig ofc
This is awesome! Great work again, fellas.
The only thing I learned from this videos that fire ants is the best self-defense tool.
10:25 how is he actually just climbing him 😂
I’m very strong and Mike is built for climbing
@@SenseiSeth no idea how you kept your balance 😂
I just love the fact that at 2:06 Seth backs down / seems to be uncomfortable by Mike getting in his personal space. You guys have such a fun dynamic between you ^^
0:13 i lost it at that point. Shit was too funny!
Man I was watching this after my workout and I started laughing and now I have an abdominal cramp that won’t go away. Worth it though 😂
Thank you so much for the good laugh. It was much fun to watch you two doing the "techniques" 😂
7:20 awwwww.... It's Patrick and Demi in Ghost! ❤️⚱️👻
That umbrella.....Pure comady gold.
I love that whenever Mike enter Sensei Seth's channel, he instantly takes it over 😂
This is my favorite video on this topic!!! You guys do a good job of breaking it down and trying it practically but also having fun with it. Super entertaining and informative 🤗
I love this series need more
This is so much fun. Thanks Seth and Mike.
I can't say enough how much I adore you two after these videos.
Never forget
Staff video
That awesome jump and roll
„It‘s in my eyes and mouth and everything.“
Welcome to doing martial arts with long hair. Hair ties are indeed you friend. 😂😂😂
But even then people will definitely step on it from time to time and wonder why you aren‘t moving anymore.
The Wig looks magnificent! love it...
"Ow. My chest hair." I can relate to that.
The scare in the beginning killed me 😂😂😂😂
😂
Bro intro had me dying 😂
I lost it for about a full minute during “upsies, upsies!”
Icy Mike saying “upsees” broke me 🤣🤣
