I remember Kevin coming into One Kick’s Gym to spar and how quiet and humble he was. Great technical skills. Would beat everyone up but stayed humble and never would show anyone up. Good dude. All the best to you.
I got a question. If you could drink once in a great while and it not destroy your life would you continue drinking? I'm asking because I think there are non alcoholics out there that can enjoy liquor without it controlling their lives.
@@abefroman8821 if you can do that you're not someone who has a problem and really shouldn't be putting those kind of ideas forward to someone who does struggle as this is the kind of thinking process that leads people who struggle to relapse, hence why the other person commented wtf to your ignorant question
@@Ssm19494 no I wasn't advocating him drinking I just had a legitimate question if one can be cured from alcoholism. Im trying to get different takes because if you can then the fear of drinking again is eliminated from your mind. Good example. I used to smoke weed everyday as a teenager for about two years. Then all of a sudden I just stopped. I don't fear smoking again because I can take a couple hits and not desire it again. Ive went years without smoking. I was wondering if people had that experience with alcohol.
Kevin, your message really resonates with. I’m a recovering alcoholic myself and in the process of my own lifestyle overhaul. Trying to get into boxing for the exercise for then wanting too fight but really hoping it can help me overcome my problems. Thanks for giving voice to my issues, glad I’m not alone.

yy xx go for it , was in the same situation as you last year . Got back to my Muay Thai gym and I’m getting ready to compete full time this summer . My coach told me yesterday that the hardest part is getting through the door , all you’ve got to do is start . We’ve got this !
@@Pantallideth94 for real...i was thinking early 30s...when you train hard and take care of your health, mentally and physically, you won't "look your age" I guess...
@@cantrelate2757 um they do theres not a phrase men age like fine wine for no reason part of this is their tskin is thicker and produces more oils they have less muscle loss they have less sensitive endocrine system. What evidence do you have other than no.
I love this interview. Very relatable and inspiring. But a violent sport is not for everyone. A peace a mind is the goal, he found that peace of mind in what he does and confronted his demons
Amazing, martial arts are a great therapy. I went though unpleasant childhood resulting in huge anxiety. Martial arts helped a lot, writing memoir/autobiography can be therapeutic. I've done it and it helped me understand more about me. looking forward to read Kevin's story.
I like the part where he talks about not making any excuses anymore … I remember when I was in college eating in the cafeteria, and something strange caught my attention out the corner of my eye ... and i saw this thin girl eating byherself at a table ... and i just remember being like something is out of place here ... AND THEN IT HIT ME ... this girl is eating with her feet ... she had no arms but learned how to eat with utensils with her feet ... im an addiction counselor and when ever someone says they cant do something i tell them about the girl using a knife and fork with no arms
C A I’ve been an opiate addict for 14 years. I don’t have any childhood trauma or excuse to why I use I just like to get high, that’s it I just like to get high and I don’t know how to overcome that.
3 days after a few weeks off solid drinking, I'm in the horrors terrors fear cold sweats I'd rather be dead than ever experience this feeling again , it's pure living hell mentally and physically. Just lying here rattling watching videos for inspiration
Well both heroin and alcohol metabolize into the same thing when they hit the brain: acetone, fingernail polish remover!! And they both leave the same residual chemical: tetrahydroisoquinolineTHIQ.
@@jshaw4757 kratom is the only thing i haven't tried to kick with. I even bought an oz to check it out but I've been too scared to try it cuz if it doesn't work it will just crush my soul into powder. I've got about .5g @ day habit of top shelf quality shit so how much should i take and what's the least awful way to take it? I think ive got bali red. Subutex & Suboxone do nothing for me but make the w/d worse!! Even after waiting 36 hours, it just made the acid puking WORSE!! Fuck methadone, been there, drank that, 3 years. I did eventually wean off it but i had just been given a line of communication to my wife who had just died so i had a helluva inspiration to quit. I wish i could say i was still as motivated by that but after 10 years it just doesnt light the same fire in me that it once did.
OMG this podcast is soo inspiring i so glad Joe had him on the podcast so I can know who this guy is. my heart goes out to him for everything he has been through
Gives me hope starting mma as late as 22 myself (not to be champion but just to feel the glory of being a modern day gladiator on the biggest scale in the world)
Powerful stuff. Thanks for sharing. When he said "I'm going to live for the both of us", that's exactly to the letter how I felt when my friend overdosed. Going to live this life to it's fullest and then some in their honor.
I'd love to see Gabriel Varga on the show. Current Bellator kickboxing champ and former Glory champ. Last person to beat Lerdsila and he also beat Kevin Ross back in 2018. He's putting out these really awesome, technical, detailed breakdowns of how he won those fights.
I’m working on beginning my journey to sobriety. I’ve been addicted to heroin for 3+ years now. I’ve slowly started tapering my dose down and I’m not going to lie, it’s been really hard. I know what I need to do and how to do it but it’s incredibly difficult going through the withdrawals. All I want is to be normal, I don’t want to do this shit anymore, I hate it. I’m seeking medical treatment and therapy and have my first appointment February 6th. I pray I get through this because it is no joke.
Since i myself have been addicted to alcohol i have some perspective on addiction, both maybe in general. I've also went trough periods of depression and anxiety. Years before i quit i found a great video that really helped me along the way, its called '' the power of silence'' by Elliot hulse, i highly recommend it, it makes you think and reflect on your life. That was exactly what got me going, thinking '' What the fuck am i doing with my life?''' When you are alone you have nobody to talk to but yourself. You might find some nasty things in there that you don't want to take on. but if you don't, it will eat you from the inside and it will project into the outside world, from experience i can only say, Deal with that shit.
Joe has his 5th dan in interviewing... LOTS of other really good interviews would have interrupted Kevin's DEEP DEEP introspection into how he came to the conclusion to purse his dream no matter the cost..... thanks Joe and thanks Kevin for sharing this truly powerful story of overcoming the odds.
Fucking love this guy. I seriously appreciate this man... signing back up for jiujitsu after years off for injury. Yeah I'm afraid and I won't be able to go as hard but fuck man, literally waking up at night with dreams of rolling jits feeling so depressed I left it behind, literally hurts my heart. Not about me, not trying to be that idiot, but had to share that this segment is what's bringing me back to training, thank you Kevin.
I got through a quarter of a bottle of vodka today and almost fully relapsed, went for a walk and just stopped, working out has become more important to me now even as an alcoholic
This story reminds me if this Korean American Astronaut who went to Navy to become a member of seal team 3 and then a doctor. He also said because he was so afraid and pussy, he decided to go into navy to get over his fear. These stories are so fucking amazing that I give Kevin mad mad props
"It's not about if you win or lose, but what you show." As a small guy who grew up in a rowdy town, and who also loves the art of fighting, but hates violence...that's all that matters. Beat me or kill me, I'm gonna give you my all.
I have an alcohol issue, I do shit that gets me in trouble when I drink. . Been good for 6yrs but got arrested for public nuisance 2 days ago.... I was blind can't remember much about it... Soooo dissatisfied with myself
I'm an alcoholic and I love watching stories of people stopping abruptly to change their life. Of course alcohol withdrawals happen, but don't let that scare you. You could have a seizure if you're drunk constantly but if you have a thought about quitting, then you're not too far gone.
I've cut down to weekends only. I do feel like having a drink often throughout the week and feel more bothered if i dont but haven't experienced serious withdrawals. I think the motivation for me to get off it is the serious symptoms that can occur when you quit while you're too into it.
i feel as if i'm in the exact same place as kevin before he started i love fighting have always wanted to do it but i live in pretty much the lowest income area in iceland i work a job with school to help my mother but i have 3 broken ribs that are bent inwards that i have no idea what to do about or money to do something about.
Who wouldn't desire to be resilient and looking new? Certainly, drinking is a great way to unwind and not something which everyone should cut 100% from their lifestyle, but, in Steffon Barkload's homepagw there's an approach that pretty much forces your head to repulse alcohol by simply thinking of it.
Kind of inspiring to me but also makes me really scared. I subconciously know that i have to stop drinking because i never looked my personal troubles in the eye and realised that i dont drink for fun. I drink to numb my anxiety and boost my confidence because deep down i'm really insecure. Its like a bizarre tug of war in my mind between my sober calm thoughts and the way i will miss how confident and calm i am when i drink. I guess i just have to learn how to achieve that feeling when sober. Dont know how at this exact moment but i hope i will figure it out!
I'm decreasing my alcohol intake. The sensation of a vice becoming a dependency has been back of mind lately. Creative productivity and hustle becomes obviously diminished. The people you'd die for feel like part of you is dead or dying.
Thank you for your TESTIMONY Ross.... You have no clue how many lives you actively positively are changing on the Joe Rogan Experience just by telling your story man... God bless you and your drive bro. Thank you
Alcohol dependence = no chance of no physical detox symptoms. Love his story and drive. Getting really into physical activity was key in me getting sober. But detox is inevitable
Jesus, has everything got to be instant these days? The guy is regaling us with his life story over a few minutes. If you can’t spare a few minutes then switch off.
Oh I can comprehend it, I just cannot phantom why you need this guest to tell you his life story in a 10sec synopsis. Care to elaborate? Or maybe these interviews should be done in snapchat form to appease your need for instant gratification?
If your gonna lose all your so called friends by following your heart and doing something positive for yourself them tell them to take the train, those are not friends, trust me, I know from experience, don’t let people around you that have no vision drag you down with them
I can relate even though Im not a world champ. And except team sports. There's nothing better than being on a team that is not scared to make you grow but thats a rarety. Now that I think of it.... this guy seems a bit like Rory McDonald
How have I never seen this video before this story before knowing well and good who Kevin Ross is hell he’s fought many of my coaches!!!! I started training MT around the same age and for years I went the amateur route and then I had a son I raised on my own and for years now I keep saying I’m getting back in the gym but I also took up drinking daily just to shut my brain up and because I have went from so tough to so weak and I just want something that shuts my brain up! I loved sports but never get played for a team was always begged to play! I’m no Kevin Ross but it’s wild the similarities that probably so many of us all have. I need the gym to change my culture back to what it was I was a different man and yet I don’t talk about this with anyone I just hold it all inside and be mediocre instead of the great I know I can be
What cool person! Super impressive and humble guy. A real warrior. JRE you NEED to get Gina Carano on your show she can add to this great man's story... and her own is great as well.
I remember Kevin coming into One Kick’s Gym to spar and how quiet and humble he was. Great technical skills. Would beat everyone up but stayed humble and never would show anyone up. Good dude. All the best to you.

I'm decreasing my alcohol intake. The sensation of a vice becoming a dependency has been back of mind lately. Creative productivity and hustle becomes obviously diminished. The people you'd die for feel like part of you is dead or dying.
Thank you for your TESTIMONY Ross.... You have no clue how many lives you actively positively are changing on the Joe Rogan Experience just by telling your story man... God bless you and your drive bro. Thank you
Great episode. Dude speaks a lot of truth.
Very good story
I can relate to him... way more than I'd like to. But he overcame all the odds to persue he's dream; maybe I should, at least, try to persue mine.
Definitely checking out the full episode with this guy,
honest and based
This is actually a really great story but I couldn’t help but laugh when he said “January in Vegas, which is brutally cold.” (16:59)
"He didn't even get a chance to fail at a dream",
Truly inspiring.
Very interesting guy. I would read his book for sure.
Don’t know who you are mate, but I love ya
Las Vegas brutally cold in January🤣🤣
You should come to Canada
Canada?? 😅😅
You should come to Mars?
Alcohol dependence = no chance of no physical detox symptoms. Love his story and drive. Getting really into physical activity was key in me getting sober. But detox is inevitable
Time to quit alcohol again in 12 hours.
I find him incredibly attractive as a person.
Besides the alcoholic problems I kinda relate to this dude
Shit I'm a stoked for him, but man, if his book is anything like the time it takes him to express an idea, it'll take ten years to read it.
Jesus, has everything got to be instant these days? The guy is regaling us with his life story over a few minutes. If you can’t spare a few minutes then switch off.
@@youngdylan5083 if u can't comprehend shit fast enough then that's OK bro.....................
Oh I can comprehend it, I just cannot phantom why you need this guest to tell you his life story in a 10sec synopsis. Care to elaborate? Or maybe these interviews should be done in snapchat form to appease your need for instant gratification?
@@youngdylan5083 OK young one. If u need 13mins for a 30sec concept that's all good too.
Moron.
This video saved me
If your gonna lose all your so called friends by following your heart and doing something positive for yourself them tell them to take the train, those are not friends, trust me, I know from experience, don’t let people around you that have no vision drag you down with them
Holy shit I thought he was 28 when the video started and then he says he is 40! Good for him!!
Best thing I’ve heard
Waiting for Connor cowboy review
I can relate even though Im not a world champ. And except team sports. There's nothing better than being on a team that is not scared to make you grow but thats a rarety. Now that I think of it.... this guy seems a bit like Rory McDonald
Good stuff
He just need some pink Molly to remember his childhood... 🤣🤣
When he said he didnt have memory of his childhood:( saddest thing ive ever heard
How have I never seen this video before this story before knowing well and good who Kevin Ross is hell he’s fought many of my coaches!!!! I started training MT around the same age and for years I went the amateur route and then I had a son I raised on my own and for years now I keep saying I’m getting back in the gym but I also took up drinking daily just to shut my brain up and because I have went from so tough to so weak and I just want something that shuts my brain up! I loved sports but never get played for a team was always begged to play! I’m no Kevin Ross but it’s wild the similarities that probably so many of us all have. I need the gym to change my culture back to what it was I was a different man and yet I don’t talk about this with anyone I just hold it all inside and be mediocre instead of the great I know I can be
What cool person! Super impressive and humble guy. A real warrior. JRE you NEED to get Gina Carano on your show she can add to this great man's story... and her own is great as well.
