Just about everyone has seen their fair share of bogus "martial arts" demonstrations with hyper-compliant ragdoll partners and whatnot. It tends to be even worse with techniques against armed attackers, be it knives or other weapons.
This is one of those cases... Too fake to work, too hilarious to not comment on. If you've never considered fighting a katana with a log or kicking a staff into the air to disarm a half comatose guy with another staff... well, here you go.

Too much armour, so encumberance caused the 'fat roll' and has to pause before can roll again. Skall is not yet a master of the rollie pollie.... Those that are, make a terrifying foe. Clad in nothing but a loin cloth, they circle you like some deadly horriflying fleshy tumbleweed.
"Attack the argument, not the person." Worst swordfighting tip ever.
Awesome mate. I just laughed my ass off. Thanks for that ;-D
Underrated comment

@Albert Fels No. Shame on you.
“Inject them with a shit ton of heroin”
This is the best self defense advice I’ve heard
Rather expensive unless you get it at factory cost. A bottle of battery acid, gasoline or toilet bowl cleaner would probably do at least as well to reduce their fighting ability.
@uNnHkP8mza It's notoriously expensive at retail prices. Retail customers tend to run out of money.
Haldol is faster. They use it with patients in psychotic episodes by injection all the time. It causes calmness and clarity of thinking in lower doses. I think if you signed up to pay this guy for "training" ...a visit to a mental health professional might be in order😂😂
@Mark Burress I'm a MSN with emergency medical experience. Haldol is not instant and it's definitely not faster in the rough descriptor Skall is using for dosage (a shit ton). Heroin in this area is between 5-10 dollars for a bag. You spend roughly 50 bucks and you've got a hot shot that will hit your brain like a out of control freight train and depending on where it's injected will cause you to totally lose consciousness either immediately or within a couple seconds of injection.
As someone who administers Haldol on a daily basis and treats junkies with a shocking regularity,
in the situation Skall is describing heroin is the correct answer and this is assuming it's not cut with enough fentanyl to put you unconscious so fast that the distinction between when you drop and "instantly" is basically meaningless.
Me in my dumbass reading the comments how inexpensive heroin can be: "hmm , interesting"
The ancient art of bullshido. Yes. I like his improvisation skills. Clearly visible in the defense with a log. He lands a devastating headshot and suddenly realizing opponent arms are in the trajectory of the falling log he immediately invents a new ancient technique and happily goes with the flow. Boom indeed.
Bullshido…. ROFL
LMAOOOOO
Ah yes, a good old reference from Totally Pointless TV 👍🏼

Before even watching the log vs. sword it was clear the lighter object would have a speed advantage. smfh
@@Direblade11 When I saw that scene my first instance reaction (nobody moved yet) was "I have to get rid of this log asap, that weight on my back is going to slow me down horrendously". I believe I have a healthier reaction than trying to flip the log above my head.
@@BelleDividends I suppose if you are far enough and strong enough to do it fairly quickly you cold throw the log in his direction and then run. (Probably, not sure.)
@@petrkinkal1509 throw it lengthwise at about knee height or give it some spin.
Saw it in a cartoon I think
If you’re carrying a heavy log, and something attacks you, the first thing you need to do is get rid of the load.
And what do you do with the log?
....................
🌚
you need to go dump some logs
yes get rid of the load-- right on the attacker's head as demonstrated! I see nothing wrong here, excellent technique! (for the matrix in slow motion)
So, basically, you're telling me to shit myself?
Just like unreal world. Cant shoot your bow with a log in your hands.
the guy with the staff was clearly trying to draw power from the Earth's magnetic field to power his level 4 power flame spell. According to the rules, if your spell gets cancled, you are paralised for the entire duriation of the cool down time.
I think Indiana Jones demonstrated the best defensive technique against someone with a sword.
Yep! Indiana Jones the martial arts master.
i get it lol

Yes and no.
In a real situation, the situation the assailant with the sword can potentially cut you down faster than you could draw a gun, if if don't try to aim.
You laugh, but Lumberjacks have been fending off Katana wielding wood spirits for thousands of years. Normally a good axe will do, but sometimes the children of the forest attack you without warning, and a simple tree branch simply won't do. One must learn the art of Log-Wei if one hopes to survive long as a Lumber master.
"Log-Wei" 😂🤪👏🏼
Ahahahah best comment I Saw this month, you can have this👑
Good one.
No joke this sounds like the plotline for a show Id watch
This is true.
You clearly misinterpreted the staff clip. It wasn’t about how to fight an opponent armed with a staff but rather how to bully old men who cannot stand without their walking sticks.
So it’s prety much teaching people how to be assholes.
13:28 the guy just walks into the tip of the sword and the swordsman has to move it away and pretend that didn't happen.
Remember kids the best defence against a sword is impaling yourself before they can.
He’s using the greatest martial art of all time time. It’s called “paying your enemy to fall over”.
I personally like to call it the Jake Paul strategy
@@ulcer_brisket_1340 XD, that made me chuckle!
Even greater, people pay him to fall over
more like: getting paid by the enemy, who then falls over
You joke, but "bribe the guards" has always been a super effective military strategy. Human factors and "morale" can be far more decisive than weapons or numbers. The Medieval history of northern Italy is basically just "and then the mercenaries took the better deal" copy-pasted over and over.
monty python's "how to defend yourself against an assailant arrmed with a piece of fresh fruit" is more realistic 😂
Sad but true
Hey I was accosted by a man with a banana the other day and it really helped me
@@theftparrot5750 you shot him? thats abit of an overreaction! lol
A wickedly sharp slice of Mango.
HEY, that's legitimate information!
But this guy has japanese scrolls on the wall, he MUST be a master. Everybody knows only true masters, sanctioned in person by a 600 years old sensei who has participated in the sengoku jidai, are allowed to have japanese scrolls on their wall. It's the rule.
Scrolls he can't read
@@johnsonpink6002 They're probably shopping receipts, but he couldn't tell the difference...
the scroll have to be written in kenji too
This
By that logic, the Chinese dragon painting I have MUST mean that I am a Dragon Slayer or Tamer.
This somehow reminds me of Monty Python's "How to defend yourself when you get attacked by somebody armed with a banana?"
Ah yes, self defense against fresh fruit. Step 1: release the tiger!
Or a handful of loganberries
The best about self-defense is not to have to defend yourself at all. And the way to this is to learn "How not to be seen"! :D
May we have a pointed stick
My favourite Unarmed vs Armed demonstration will always be the one where the teacher just sprints out of the room
Yeah that much more practical in a unarmed vs armed situations unless it’s your jobs to get into a fight with a violent person like if you’re a security guards or police officers for example. As saying goes “You don’t have to run faster than the bear to get away. You just have to run faster than the guy next to you.”
@@alexanderhood8993 now tell me, why would someone who’s job involves violent people be unarmed? Did someone pull the old heroin trick the night before?

@@Xaytan it’s depends on what security jobs you’re required to do.

The guy with the staff, that was not his staff. That was his walking cane. He was actually beating up a cripple. Makes a lot more sense now.
So he's showcasing how to be a douche. What a douche...
He demonstrated how to disable an old grandpa. Tried it and it works.
Like hes litterally collapsing because someone hit his weapon wtf is this xD
finally that guy can teach me how to defeat real evil, my 92 year old grandma, she is such a "C" word... a Cane dependant bitch
Can we even define that as "beating up", more like "mildly disturbing" the cripple.
God, I remember taking a self-defense class once. Learning how to escape a grapple.
Our instructor tells us, to escape, you need to stamp on the person's foot, which will cause them to loosen their grip, and then you can shove them just right, and put them in a hold of your own, or something.
I tell the person I'm partnered with "I'm going to treat this as a real fight, to the point I have you in a hold, I want you to do so as well." He agrees, and I casually put him in a hold, and we both counted to three, for when the "real fight" starts. He goes to stomp on my feet, yet I don't let go, and my grip doesn't loosen. The instructor sees me, and tells me I'm supposed to "play along," and that's when I just walked the hell on out of there.
Don't get me wrong, my foot was sore, having been stamped on 10 times with increasing force each time, so I had a small limp on my way out the door. But my pain tolerance was great enough, that the whole "stomp on foot to force a loosening of grip" I knew was complete bullshit. Have not taken another self-defense class since...
Go boxing or something. The sparring will improve your ability somewhat, no matter if there are rules... You get at least some understanding of being in a fight...
I had a similar case for training on my job, but my partner and I both committed, and the lessons taught were mostly grab escapes. but the difference was they worked and it was a nice little work out that day
(we work in ABA and our company doesn't agree with restraints on the clients. hence the just escapes)
Reminds me of a similar experience that I had while attending high school. A Sensei came to teach his martial art, Jiu Jitsu, to my Phys-Ed classmates and I for a few weeks. One day I was chosen by him to demonstrate that day's lesson to the class. It was a move where you would twist your opponents wrist after said opponent grabbed the front of your shirt. The move removed my hand from his shirt as it's suppose to. Then he applied the pressure on the wrist twist and I......stood there.
I just stood there looking at him because I did not know what I was supposed to do. I didn't move for I was afraid that if I did, my wrist would have snapped. And I did not doubt that if the Sensei had rotated my wrist a few more degrees, my wrist would have snapped and to his credit he knew this too. We tried the demonstration again from the beginning and the same thing happened of me staring at him, stoically, at a loss of what I was expected to do. He then had me sit back down and called a classmate for the demonstration. This time the demonstration resulted in what was expected. The pain from the twist was to make your opponent do a near 180 spin and then have them on the floor with their arm, still being held, perpendicular to the floor. That Sensei did acknowledge that I had a high tolerance to pain.
Pain tolerance is a factor that I believe is most often overlooked indeed.
In fairness, he did say that if an attacker is armed and is not saying anything to you, that attacker's goal is to k!ll you and you best run away if you can.
Would especially suck if your attacker was wearing boots
@@justusmzb7441 The frequency in which I get into a situation where self-defense would be needed, is very small, that there really isn't any point.
13:27 I love how the “student” being in slow motion implies that he can lift the log over his shoulder and slam it down on his head while also carefully making sure he’s not in range of the sword faster than the other guy can just swing the sword down.
When he knocks the staff out with his foot staff. That's actually an ancient ninja technique to mug an old man with arthritis and a walking stick.
My god what wonderful technique
I thought the trick was going to be him catching the staff in his hands and doing some stupid finisher move. How was the real move even dumber than that?
Oh wow, a secret technique that helps you mug a helpless old man. Only a few ninjas in history have mastered it.
Don’t forget that the old man has to be napping at the time.
I just start laughing the moment I read that comment
I feel like the paralyzed dude wasn't the only one in the room with a crippling heroin problem
Well, the teacher have seems to be more into heroic-induced high than heroin. Still equally stoned tho.
The entire crew is hopped up on so much drugs they're already dead from overdose.
So basically i have to be high in order to appreciate the beauty pf this mythical combat maneouvers.
Ahhhh the ancient technique of Logitsu.
without watching the video just yet reading this makes me so fucking confused
In Magic: The Gathering, we call this "Goldfishing", where you practice your strategy against an opponent who does nothing.
I mean in MtG you kinda have to because there's so little counterplay that basically both people just do their own thing and one of them miraculously hard-counters the other, I played MtG semi-competitively for years and every match came down to color matchup rather than any actual skill xDD
@@spiritvdc5109
Huh. That is so far from the truth though.
One thinks you must not have been very good with setup, or faced anyone more than your local randoms. <
@@spiritvdc5109 That's pretty much the opposite of mtg lol
Yeah most competent player have player interaction to stop their stuff to activate or getting destroyed. Its limited to seeing curve drops though this goldfishing technique.
@12:19 don't forget this part where he literally steps into the sword tip, effectively gutting himself, only "saved" by the opponent afterwards pulling back and lowering the sword more, so it's out of the way.
Step 1 for self defense: drug all potential opponents ahead of time
Step 2 literally just walk away
Step 3 unscrew pommel
Step 4 E N D H I M R I G H T L Y
Ah, i see. You have to walk away, so you don't get caught in the ensuing chaos the pommel will cause.
@@4Curses either that or just walk away when your drugged opponent nods off. Rest your hand on your pommel and whisper "not today old friend, not today"
"But officer, that heroin is for SELF DEFENSE!"
This deserves more likes lmfao
Finally, we discover how this maneuver was meant to be used.
The paralyzed staff guy was just a wizard with really low strength
“Shouldn’t have put all my points into intelligence”
The DM was mad enough to give him a Dexterity check as a wizard and to add to it its a nat 1
He's just really depressed his Magic Missile didn't go off.
I get it now, he just dropped the staff and the guy got overcumbered
xD
5:24 "unlimited action points" really cracked me up 😂
I love how in the last one, he nearly impaled himself on the extended sword when he stepped forward to hit the guy with a log.
This dude was probably that one teen that hung out with 6 year olds and showed them "this new karate grab I learned", and then got pissed off when the kid escaped the grab because the kid was "doing it wrong"
its incredible how accurate this comment is
Omg This brought back memories xD. Back in middle school there was this kid, I was practically twice his size but he wouldn't stop talking how he could choke me out cause his taekwondo teacher who "Can catch bullets" taught him this awesome grapple technique. Felt like i was being tackled by a wet noodle. Lol the "You're doing it wrong" part really brought it back.
@@kuropotato8097 as someone who practiced taekwondo, I feel attacked. Then again, all the grabs we learned were promptly followed by kicks, punches, knees and elbows to the head, throat and diafragm. XD
Had a friend who trained aikido for a few months shoe me how "good" he is. I let him do everything that was requiered for a "successful" move. He basically had my arm, bent, behind my back, I I just followed trough his motion and grabbed him over the neck with my elbow pit and threw him over me. XD
@@kuropotato8097
I don't know if that was the kid or his instructor really told him he could catch bullets. But if he did. That's an instructor with mental illness are a con artist.
Definitely comes off as a "you're doing it wrong" type.
You're not supposed to actually react, just do the choreography we rehearsed that makes me look good.
I think it is important to remember that this is the footage they decided to put online to show the world. This is their curated best stuff.
Tbf the guy seems to be a legit nutcase in general, so I somehow don't blame them too much for that
@@vaisravana2092 if he's a nutcase... what does it make his students?! I genuinely feel sorry for them. In the same way I feel sorry for dogs that bounce, repeatedly, off of glass doors.
Makes complete sense because the point of this stuff isn't to be realistic, it's to sell someone a fantasy that if they take your course then they, too, will become this magical hollywood martial arts modern monk that can do all these really flashy technical-looking crazy movie fight things, because the idea is that this guy's supposed to be so good he can just do all this stuff on a whim so just imagine how good you're going to be.
And it's just like... yeaahhh... no...? This doesn't work??? But that's the thing, right? It's not meant to be practical, it's meant to look impressive enough to a casual average joe that people buy that this guy knows what he's doing. So if you're trying to sell that then you're not going to fill the highlight with actually useful things like how to throw a proper punch or normal sparring, you're going to put in all the overly-intricate insane flashy BS you can because that's what makes people stop and say "Yeah. If I can do this then I'll probably be good if someone comes at me with a knife or tries to harass me on the street."
I refuse to believe this is "actual" martial arts. This looks like a bunch of stuntmen or stage actors, just having fun fooling around with the weapons, making situations they would actually find in a stage play or movie.
@@FrauleinMuller999 I mean, it is, because pretty much all Martial Arts are fake like this just to different degrees of absurdity. The stuff that's actually practical just doesn't look good enough to sell to a mainstream crowd compared to flashy fantasy BS where you can disarm armed attackers bare-handed in one or two moves.
10:50 I don’t know why your complaining, I use this move all the time when fighting really old senior citizens with canes. Sure it only works on a perfectly flat/smooth surface, when they are only using a cane and not a walker, and I have to bring the pole to put in the ground; but it literally kills in some retirement homes
You would be surprised as to how good some of those old men with a kane can fight even on uneven terrain "L"
These opponents are so slow your best defense is to casually stroll out of the room
You've missed the true genius of this self defence strategy: by presenting himself as a martial arts master and teaching people how to fight *really badly*, and putting those videos online, he increases the chance that a potential assailant will have learned how to fight from him, and thus be completely ineffectual.
It's self defence by miseducation.
Ancient problems require stupid solutions

The last sequence...the swordsman only has to thrust the log wielder in the throat. I assume the log is an actual weapon at this McCafe which is why it's nicely octagonal. I'd like to a see Scottish version where a much larger log is thrown end over end to land on the attacker's head.
I've seen someone use a log as a defensive obstacle before, with a single attack used to surprise the enemy and smash their feet or shins, but that was definitely meant as a demonstration of footwork and tactical thinking. Having a log could be better than being unarmed if you know how to use it, after all, but you ain't pulling off Soul Calibur III bullshit with it.
I went opposite directions than some others here; I started out learned unarmed combat (boxing and BJJ) and any time we have ever done weapons classes they teach you it’s an absolute last resort and your chances of getting injured are incredibly high.
If hand goes hand techniques were able to consistently and adequately stop weapons such as knives and swords then we wouldn’t have developed knives and swords to be used in combat. If a martial artist is teaching you “fool proof techniques to stop a weapon attack” then you need to find a new teacher, that is what we would call a “mcdojo” and he is teaching you nothing more than bullshido.
Right and in real fights weapons are often used.
@@Thes564 in a real fight variables are unknown. That is why your best bet for self defense is going to be focused on verbal skills, it is better to de escalate a situation with words and rational than it is to escalate and possibly end up shot or stabbed.

I frequently find myself getting attacked by katana wielding bandits while I'm carrying logs back to the lumber mill I work at. Now I'll finally be able to protect myself.
I feel like whatever log-based self defense technique he was trying to impart probably does have it's origin in some old folk tale about a mountain monk fighting off some bandits with a log or some shit like that.

Even the basic sparring in wrestling and boxing is much closer to real fighting than the pad slapping choreography that is traditional martial arts sparring.
Guy: grabs attackers balls
The Attacker: jokes on you I’m into that stuff
Guy: (grabs attackers balls)

Skall people outside of America and Canada carry logs with strings for protection. my grandam carries an oak concealed and my grandpa carries a walnut tree
The tradicional way is the best nowadays all you can find is MDF or composite bamboo with nylon strings.

What i learned today:
1. Make sure your attackers are in slow motion
2. Rub a stick on them
Which stick 😏

ok. I've been intensely bingewatching alot of these Skall vids. Laughed so hard at this, i subbed xD
A while ago I've seen some neighbor's kids play-fight with short broomsticks on the road in front of the house. They are 6 and 9 years old. Apparently... their speed, resilience, power and reactions are at about 600% of what the adult ragdolls in those clips you look at are showing.
That limp staff dude was probably supposed to be an elderly guy with a cane, got an intense back pain, then was beaten up by a guy that found a big stick on the ground

If you could disable all sword users with a groin punch, we'd all switch over to being Johnny Cage.
or just wear a box...
Codpieces were invented for a reason.
Maybe Johnny Cage is why most of the characters in Mortal Combat don't use swords...
A brutal kidney punch would be much more effective and you'd be in a position to either grapple (stupid) or run away (better). By brutal I mean with intent to kill; dude is coming after me with a sword. He gets up I'm dead, given that I'm unarmed.
Do something more directly debilitating and run away, that'd be my option. Log? I don't own a log.
Problem is, same as being a Johnny Cage nutcrunch + uppercut spammer in MK, your primary tactic falls to pieces when you square off against a girl.....
First video I've seen of yours. Love it. Great content, excited to view your more traditional videos !
this is the hardest ive laughed at a video in so long and i thank you so much for it

I've seen this video before. I needed a good laugh and was not let down. Good job with the narration! It took it from being just ridiculous to hilarious along with ridiculous. Thanks.
This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time, thank you🤣🤣
“Assume the opponent is asleep” is kind of like when you watch a tutorial and it starts off with “own these 17 power tools and your own workshop”
I mean, tbf, it's generally more that they have those tools so they use them. You can do most of what they're doing with other tools. That just isn't obvious to people who aren't already into that stuff in the first place.
So, really, the first step is "already be skilled in this field."
Man, the heroin tecnique is so efective that almost kills me just from listening to it.
Yeah, I mean the heroin thing sounds super effective.
What surprised me most was that the guy was putting so much of his weight on the staff. Who does that? Was he injured from previous combat? I can see that stance as some weird opening position, but without using it as crutch just to be able to stand.
I spent ten years training to master the art of heroin abuse... I was unsuccessful... I've ruined my life.
I mean if you inject your opponent with heroin, its a huge debuff. Plus its poision damage. PLUS you can carry it legally. Its an amazing idea!
@@sebastianriz4703 you can carry it legally? In Switzerland maybe...
Skallagrim doesn't get it, you don't carry around a log to smash people in the head, you pull it out of your inventory when bandits with swords spawn around you.
lmao wow this is intense lol. I feel at home viewing your content man! keep up good work
The only thing missing when he demonstrates the log technique is that *bonk* sound effect when he touches the head
And a big, flashy "KAPOW!" overlay in Comic Sans.
el kabong would be better .
@wyckyd wyzyrd where? I need it!
😁
To be more thoroughly accurate, I think a complete set of Three Stooges sound effects throughout the demos would be more appropriate.
Dude has a sword pointed directly at your chest, and all he has to do is take a step forward and run you through. So, of course, the natural course of action is for him to select "end turn" and then wait while you take 10 seconds to flip a log over your shoulder and step forward, nearly impaling himself on your sword.
It's called etiquette, you uncultured swine.
Anyone else see where the guy stabbed him accidentally and then moved his sword out of the way so he un-stabbed the log carrier?
The best course of action is to reach your inventory, eat 80 wheels of cheese, go back to the combat, take the blow but since you're regenerating hp fast with all the food you consumed, you can strike fatally your opponent's head.
I love the extra shuffle step he has to take while the katana guy pauses because he can't even get basic distance right. If my students stuffed up their distance after 6 weeks of introductory training as badly as log man does I would be embarrassed as their teacher. The log had a significant range advantage and getting that distance right is trivial.
He's just out of reach though

@@adambielen8996 I had to rewind it and show my wife.
Welcome to the family. *Dying of laughter.*
Im speechless. I am very confident that any random person would be more effective at self defense than that guy. He seems to have brainwashed himself and his students so much , that he made himself the ultimate victim in any real confrontation. It would be hilarious if it wasnt so sad..
Chinese mma fighter Xu Xia Dong made a name for himself defeating these so called masters within few seconds. Your analysis is spot on, we see a group self indoctrination where both bullshido master and students end up believing this to the point where we can classify sparring as some weird group hypnosis.
The average person would be invested in saving their neck, nobody in the guy's videos seems to even be paying attention
Its honestly incredibly interesting to me how these "masters" manage to spread their delusions to their students like some kind of social virus
@@oditeomnes I am very familiar with Xu. What happened to him thanks to the CCP is a tragedy. Thats the sad part.. whats happening in this video is the exact same psychological group behaviour in cults. Humans are made to live in groups , but our desire for fellowship sometimes results in the most ridiculous abandonment of rational thinking when experience is not present..
Only my personal opinion, but I think it would actually be sad if the guy invested time and money into training and building a school only to realize too late his style is useless, but now he has already put too much into this business to simply admit how nonsensical it is and let it fail. This is not governmental style too-big-too-fail investment, but on his individual level, this might be comparable. Everything this dude owns might ride on him being abled to sell a style that he knows is nothing more than glorified childrens entertainment. Truly sad. If the guy is a smug conman on the other hand, let him burn.
When I was a teen I took aikido for about a year and we did some work with boken and jo staffs. This really brings back memories. I don't regret taking the class. The discipline was good for me, as a total wild child, but the training was just as unrealistic and potentially dangerous (to me) as what the video shows. Part of the issue was that we were never properly trained to aggressively and effectively attack, so the defender had no one to play a realistic attacker. Another problem was that many of the techniques we learned were INCREDIBLY difficult to apply at speed. Try applying a joint lock to someone throwing jabs at you ^.^
I loved the Died screen logo and sound effect from the Souls-Borne series. LOL This is amazing teaching with a detailed analysis on how practical and impractical these moves are from guy in the video.

This almost feels like a dream sequence nightmare for anyone who owns a sword. You know the one where you are trying to defend yourself but you move in complete slowmo against a weird dude with a log. Almost like the same dream that you get when you are running from something but can never get away.
Sounds like a recurring nightmare I had as a kid; where a small dog sized rat(or something) would coroner me in room and jump at my face, and I'd punch it away, but it would get up, unharmed, and continue jumping at me as I get tired... until I wake up.
Dude. Why does that happen? I've had dreams where I am trying hard as hell to run and I move like I'm running under water. Everytime.
I used to be a professional rodeo cowboy. I rode bareback horses, a sport that required intense strength and quick movement for 8 seconds of competition. I always had a recurring dream that I was riding at a rodeo and I could not lift on my riggin (the apparatus that I held on with) enough nor could I move my feet quickly enough, which was a requirement to be successful and score high. I think it's a human nature thing to have some sort of self-conscious issue with not being good enough at something and it manifests by way of dreaming that you're a failure at whatever action you're pursuing in the dream. I was one of the best in the world at what I did, yet my subconscious mind still felt like I wasn't good enough apparently lol
This is a very strange, but good and interesting observation lol.
That's like the one where I'm driving and I come to a yellow light at the last second, and I slam on the brakes but no matter how hard I'm pressing on the brake pedal the car barely slows down and I roll through the intersection while it goes red, and it keeps happening over and over and panic and doubt and self-hate start to overwhelm me until I wake up.

12:15 Now I want to see an old fashioned Jackie Chain routine where he is a clumsy woodcutter trying to deliver a log while being chased by a dozen incompetent samurai.

This guy does the not-so-secret martial art of Hollywoodtsu
What if you're a lumberjack and gets attacked by ninjas someday? This guy is a genius, covering any situation possible 😂

What about pointed sticks?
Sorry, sorry...no, we haven't started on Fruit yet.
What if you’re a lumberjack and get attacked by *slow motion* ninjas someday? -FTFY
I'm a lumberman and no matter what if I'm attacked with what appears to be a 6×6 or a 8×8 log. I wouldn't go straight down. I'd twist from my hips at the same time as pulling with my hands to swing at a almost horizontal level. Still keeping it at a slight downward strike. It would force the person into a single direction at which point you just let go the log and go into grapple. Because like he said there's only two real actions the person can take in response back away or step into the swing.
every lumberjack is gangsta until he gets attacked by ninja beavers
"Bullshido." Hadn't heard that one before and my life is better now for having heard it.
It's a really fun subject to look into, look up Bullshido on YT, many videos in the cringrworth territory
The proper martial art to defend the darwinistic principles.
Yeah man bullshido is pretty popular.
Kung Poo is my favorite term but bullshido is a classic
"McDojo" is another term for instructors that "teach" this b.s. self defense.
LMAO ! I got a few good laughs out of this ! Thank you for that
