Great job shining a spotlight on lesser known martial arts, Mike! There's so much we've yet to learn from different cultures. Love the direction in content variety on your channel. And as always great storytelling & humor 💯
The guy that I almost hate during his fighting career now become one of my favourite MMA expert /host/ analyser/ youtuber . Love you my brother Bisping.
I think his trash talks was all business, and he refused to shake hand with luc. Burning the Cuban flag . I don't know what it was , but after watching his documentary and knowing more about his actual life and beautiful family , he is just fabulous 👌 👏. And to mention become the champion of the world with one eye this guy Is a legend .
Bisping you do such a good job with these videos. I'm surprised how well you're able to transition and lay the video out for the viewer and you're pretty hilarious, some good jokes in this one. Great video man.
I'd love see him and the West Linn Undefeated Undisputed American Gangster with his Mercedes Sharing twin neighbors Chael "I've never lost a round" Sonnen do a weekly podcast together it would be at least in my CTE caveman brain pretty amazing.
@@sunny_froyo Either way, Mike would be paying them to be there which is smart if he's unable to put the content together himself. It would be a good job creating a team to allow him to put videos out like this, still credit to him where it's due. If people are helping him as well, they're doing their job great.
Well done Michael you're really finding a lane content-wise. Well written and well executed. Would love to see you do a piece on the Bullshito martial arts. The ones where the renowned Masters use mind control to block punches and things of that nature. So ridiculous and so internationally accepted as being real.
Yeah he did, but I would like to see him do a more in-depth video. Fucking Ashida Kim using a Japanese name for his first name and a South Korean Surname for the last fucking ninjitsu baby oh and of Course Count Dante with his infamous Dinmak (even though he was a legit point karate guy) still a fucking fraud and lunatic and of course the Creme de la Creme Frank Dux nothing else to say really. A really good bullshido 2 part documentary I just finished by RUclipsr Napoleon Blownapart is absolutely amazing I suggest checking both parts.
The funny thing about this video, is that the "star" of Lethwei Dave Leduc is a proud Jeet Kune Do practitioner, he also made videos with his coach to show techniques and concepts from JKD to apply in Lethwei...
Bisping is probably the best martial arts youtuber today, I would have never thought he could make such entertaining videos as he seemed to always be extremely serious in his fights and tv appearances. Great job champ, keep the content coming.
PLEASE MORE of this Michael! Absolutely enthralling and the history, old pictures and film footage is incredible! Thank You so much and please! Make more of these videos...CHEERS!
It is possible that you meant to say 'rapier and dagger' rather than 'rapier and danger'. Also, the usual way in English of saying the name of the Irish wooden club is 'shi-LAY-lee.'
Another great one Mike, could listen to you discuss anything all day mate. Have known about all these since I was a kid, but your take keeps it fresh. Still waiting for your run in Den of Thieves 2 btw. Really wish they'd get on that since that teaser at the end of the first. ✌️😉🍻
Re: *Bataireacht,* the Irish martial art - there’s a version called “DRUNKEN IRISH MASTER”, where Conor McGregor, drunk on his own brand of whiskey, chases pub customers with a stick. 🏑
About 17 years ago (before I even knew what the UFC was) there was this amazing show where 2 guys traveled the world & would learn different firms of martial arts. The name of the show was Fight Quest! To this day it stands out as one of the coolest shows ive ever seen! It was ahead of its time, and one lasted 1 season. How cool would it be if the show was revamped with our own champ Bisping!
Whoever it is doing the editing for this channel, serious props go to you for the cutaway @2:08 I haven't laughed so instinctively to something in a little while so thank you for that! xD
Dude, awesome video. Me and my sons just watched it...they're out hitting eachother with iron rods dipped in tar and gravel from the driveway using beach chairs for a sheild.
This was really intriguing. I lived in Japan for a year just taking Japanese Jujitsu and Judo. This all I did for the year I was there. I learned alot about the history of the Samari and other lost styles of Martial Arts. Best year learning
Japanese jiu jutsu is one of the most underrated martial arts, those techniques can save you if you're about to die and are not commonly taught since there mostly killing techniques, when Jigoro Kano went to Brazil he taught the Gracie family judo which means its alot less common
Grandfather was 3rd or 4th generation Irish-American born in the 20s who still carried his sheleighly until the day he died. He mainly used it as a cane in his 70s and 80s but would occasionally hit us with it when we walked by (lol). i always heard this word growing up but never knew it was actually a fighting stick of sorts. So cool! RIP gramps, definitely thinking about you tonight.
I am Brittas boyfriend, german, born 1965. When i was a child/ teenager it was in my region ( borderline of rural Württemberg and urbanised region arround State capital Stuttgart, common that next to back door of farmers or ,aboriginal' swabians houses some sticks called ,Stecken' had been stored, mostly hazelnut or blackthorn. They had been intended for use in rural gardens / farms, but also as auxillary weapons, but here no kind of stick martial art existed.
@@baldieman64 @Paul Leonard yes Anyway, no need to correct mo cara, most viewers won't recognise the errors, just us Irish. Ping tried his best. Edit: @ 0:43 the fella was called jigaro kano
Great video, only knew a bit about Lethwei, didn't know about the 2 minute resting period. The other ones from the top of my head you didn't mention is Pencak Silat (Indonesia, Iko Uwais probably practices that) and Eskrima (Phillipines) and of course who can forget Turkish oil wrestling.
Awesome video, great content and throughout explanation. I am curious what a professional fighter like you thinks about Kali ( or Arnis/Eskrima as some people call it).
Thanks Mike, your're doing a wonderful job teaching us about lesser known martial arts. Of course there are a lot of them You didn't mention, but thats because they are a lot, like Garrote Larense from Venezuela, our tradicional fencing (watch out, You can get punched, slapped or kicked too)
Someone’s in the big leagues now, Raycon’s! Think you’ve found your second natural talent doing these vids! Looking forward to see where you go with these.
Just started watching the vid, as always, love it. I had to stop and comment about the Irish stick fighting. Your description and the look of the weapon reminds me of the weapon used by the Tuskan Raiders in Star Wars. I would love to know if there is a direct connection
Great job, Bisping. Keep up the studying and the videos. Centuries from now you'll be known as one of the wise men of MMA during the post-industrial era. A champ and an MMA expert. What a legacy.
Except he was wrong about the Gracies improving Japanese Judo Newaza. The Japanese brought that to Brazil and taught the Gracies. So he doesn't know everything. It's not his fault. He was just unknowingly telling the lie that the Gracies have been spreading for years. Luckily, more and more people are finding out the truth about the Gracie Lie.
@@curiaregis9479 I can give you brief history if interested. I just need to time to sit down and write it. The quick version though. Is there were different rule sets for Judo competition in Japan. One of these was called Kosen which was a competition between the Universities. Basically, what would happen is after the throw or whatever stand-up techniques that would take the fight to the ground, the competitors would go into a submission grappling match. There was a book written about Kosen Judo that included all the techniques of Newaza (grappling). This book pre-dates the Gracies learning Judo/Jiu-Jitsu. There is nothing that the Gracies were doing at the time, that was not already being done by the Japanese Kosen Judo. So the Japanese were already doing the grappling techniques that the Gracies claimed they modified or created. The Gracies learned from a Japanese Judoka immigrant named Mitsuyo Maeda. He was very talented Judoka that immigrated from Japan to Brazil. The ground fighting techniques of Judo appealed to him more. So he became a specialist at it. During his travels, he fought challenging matches with people from different disciplines and won. He became a prizefighter. He basically, did what Royce Gracie did in the early UFC, but didn't do it in front of a televised audience because it was a different time. He eventually made it to Brazil, met the Gracies, and trained them. The Gracies later falsely marketed what they learned as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
@@griffin2599 That's interesting. It just makes me ask if the Gracies modified it enough to justify rebranding it. After all, little to nothing is invented in a vacuum, and the Gracies may have integrated other techniques they knew from before, creating a new variation. If that's the case it would be both respectful and correct to credit Japanese Judoka for much of the Jiu-Jitsu fighting system while also crediting the Gracies for modifying it and bringing it to world renown.
@@curiaregis9479 Jiu-Jitsu has been modified by different practitioners in the last 20 years. But there was nothing the Gracies were doing up until the mid-90s that was not already being done by the Japanese in Judo Newaza/Kosen. I think the Gracies deserve credit for helping spread the art as they did this with the televised competitions of the early UFC. But I think they have also tried to take more credit for the creation of the art without giving proper respect/credit to the Japanese immigrants that taught them. To further prove my point, let's not forget about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master, Luiz Franca, who was a student of Japanese Judoka immigrants - Mitsuyo Maeda, Geo Omori and Sashihiro Satake, yet Mr. Franca has no Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Judo lineage to the Gracies. Mr. Franca was a good man because he would teach what he learned to the poor. One of Mr. Francas notable students was Oswaldo Fadda, who is another high-ranking black belt with no lineage to the Gracies.
Lord( of the Ring) Bisping as an American is an elderly gentleman. I thank you for including Rough and Tumble in your list. And I still practice the art. Once again thank you and God bless you and your family.
I was taken aback by the very first scene of the listing proper. I didn't expect to see Bataireacht mentioned anywhere. Now that I think about it, it's a miracle it reached the place where I live a few years ago.
As a guy who's been training in stick fighting across a number of disciplines for multiple decades, the convergent evolution of styles never fails to fascinate me. Also, yeah, there are whole South Pacific martial arts about biting and gouging.
I like how you listed karate as a style that's "not effective" when you have fighters like chuck Liddell, bas ruten, and other fighters fighting in MMA. Before my muay Thai training my background was kyokushin karate (participed in kudo karate tournaments) not to mention there's the new karate combat tournament that's becoming quite popular and Japanese Jujitsu which had resistance training (which helped my out a few times). It's all about adapting what you know in actual combat.
Kung Fu San Soo has its origins from the 5 Family Fist (五家拳), commonly practiced in the Taishan region of the Guangdong province.[citation needed] In China, many centuries ago, there were three original families that contributed information from their systems in order to create this art. They built a monastery and developed a combined defense system.Kung Fu San Soo originated for use in military combat and uses techniques designed to swiftly disable an attacker. Due to the fact San Soo is a practical martial art for self-defense and the techniques are intended for real fight scenarios, there are no competitions or tournaments for San Soo Kung Fu. While San Soo was not created or taught as a tournament sport, but first real MMA practitioners commonly incorporate forms of limited sparring Techniques in San Soo are made up of Chin Na leverages, throwing, choking, joint-locking, strangling, strikes, and quick takedowns. Targets include the eyes, nose, throat, base of the skull, neck, liver, spleen, kidneys, testicles, and knees, and for this reason, most San Soo practitioners do not engage in full contact competition/sport fighting.
Another thing about Lethwei is the long length of the matches and the fact that even a KO does NOT end a match. The fight continues after the fighter has time to recover!
Great video! Sadly, in regards to Jeet Kune Do, Bruce did not want it to become the structured style it became. I read that it was a philosophy that was supposed to lead you to your way of fighting effectively which supposedly is why he closed his schools. Also in that same vein supposedly asked his students not to continue to teach it. If this is true, well, not surprised some disobeyed for whatever selfish reasons and kept teaching.

"Irish Stick Fighting is extremely dangerous."

Kung Fu San Soo has its origins from the 5 Family Fist (五家拳), commonly practiced in the Taishan region of the Guangdong province.[citation needed] In China, many centuries ago, there were three original families that contributed information from their systems in order to create this art. They built a monastery and developed a combined defense system.Kung Fu San Soo originated for use in military combat and uses techniques designed to swiftly disable an attacker. Due to the fact San Soo is a practical martial art for self-defense and the techniques are intended for real fight scenarios, there are no competitions or tournaments for San Soo Kung Fu. While San Soo was not created or taught as a tournament sport, but first real MMA practitioners commonly incorporate forms of limited sparring Techniques in San Soo are made up of Chin Na leverages, throwing, choking, joint-locking, strangling, strikes, and quick takedowns. Targets include the eyes, nose, throat, base of the skull, neck, liver, spleen, kidneys, testicles, and knees, and for this reason, most San Soo practitioners do not engage in full contact competition/sport fighting.
10:00 No.2. So THAT'S where Jimmerson got his crazy idea from! 🤪👊
13:11 Eerie. Roman gladiator combat came from Etruscan funeral gladiatorial games. Incredible how some things never changed.

Champ this video was excellent. Great historical documentary narrated by an expert.
Another great video Mike, keep em' coming
Another thing about Lethwei is the long length of the matches and the fact that even a KO does NOT end a match. The fight continues after the fighter has time to recover!
Gummph! 😨
i was expecting aikido to be on that list along with a & seagal video.
Handsdown Bisping has one of the best editors of all UFC fighters
Another great vid!
Great video
Great video! Sadly, in regards to Jeet Kune Do, Bruce did not want it to become the structured style it became. I read that it was a philosophy that was supposed to lead you to your way of fighting effectively which supposedly is why he closed his schools. Also in that same vein supposedly asked his students not to continue to teach it. If this is true, well, not surprised some disobeyed for whatever selfish reasons and kept teaching.
Bisping is a proper RUclipsr these days!
