- Q&A with the coach. A viewer asks something about Krav Maga, or self defense, or something… but lost me when he repeatedly said that if a government endorses a hand to hand combat system, then it must be valid.

think'n about it, but I don't know...
🤔
He can say what he wants.
Military rule: If something is provided by the military, it's provided by the lowest common denominator (the cheapest manufacturer) - governments tend to be the same. Martial Arts are no different.
As someone who's spent time on active duty in 2 military branches I always laugh when I hear civilians use the term "military grade" with high regard...
@matthewhawke8902 hahahahaha so true, only "military" equipment I thought was hands down better than the civilian side is the M4 vs AR15. The few times I shot an AR it was similar, but not the same, I couldn't tell you what it was, but the M4 just feels right.
Same I can say when people use the fact that military uses certain martial arts as a "proof" why it's good.
Theres a million variations and manufacturers of ARs and parts.
As a former infantryman ( Afghanistan vet ) who trained in combatives, and current amateur boxer, my number one self defense tactic is to not be in dangerous places to begin with. I stopped drinking halfway through my Army career and subsequently stopped going to bars… which means I also stopped hanging out with questionable characters. All of a sudden, I never had a street fight ever again.
That's a good one 😂
But also the truth. 💪👊👍
You know what, that is literally half of the college self-defense class I teach: don't be stupid and go to places where fights are likely happen. Don't go to dangerous places at bad times, especially as a woman. Keep a wary eye out in public spaces - no headphones. Stay away from frickin' frat parties. Basic situational awareness and a smattering of common sense goes far in self-defense.
The military h2h as self-defense is always interesting to me.
The guy who developed the Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) wrote a book about the process.
Ramsey is exactly right - key considerations were identical to Krav: “how can we get people to become somewhat effective very quickly in large numbers?”
His answer was a foundation of BJJ because a few weeks of that showed greater advantages against untrained opponents than other arts (especially striking).
But he had planned for upgrade training. This is the key! He said that effectiveness could only be gained over time. So they supplemented the lack of technical proficiency with aggression in many places, but long term hoped to develop the proficiency.
How? In a way that ought to make self defense types pause and reflect: competitions with strict rule sets. Combatives tournaments at a few levels - grappling being the lowest and then full MMA being the highest.
The rationale was that the only way to effectively form H2H proficiency was to embed a “fighting culture” into the Army.
The success of the endeavor is debatable, but that was the idea. It was never about some super secret fight techniques or anything similar!
If you’re wondering, the Air Force Combatives program was based off of MACP, and I think MCMAP might’ve been - fact check me there.
In Argentina, cops not only have to deal with criminals, but the legal system defending them! It's like society allow criminals to do whatever they want because they come for a dificult background or something like that... Very frustrating to see!
America is the same way. Plus, the cops here will often go after people who have done nothing wrong while ignoring actual criminal activity. Our legal system also revolves around witness testimony which can be easily faked. So basically, innocents get locked up while criminals run free. It's disgusting.
Oh, I remember listening to a radio segment, caught te tail end of it, but Sylvester Stallone and Arnold S. were considered overweight , in their early days , even with the muscle.
My brother in law is US army, so I’m around those guys pretty often. People inevitably want to spar the skinny guy that teaches martial arts at the college… and are always surprised their training is inadequate!
Could they throw a rear naked choke on somebody that doesn’t know what they’re doing? Yeah. That’ll probably be more than they ever need for the context of modern military combat.
But it’s not at all enough to deal with somebody who’s doing submission grappling constantly in its own context.
There's a lot of curiosity about martial arts and deservedly so. Ramsey, Jesse and the Karate Nerd all come off as genuine, enthusiastic, objective and realistic about martial arts. It's nice to see these kinds of discussions and interactions, because honestly most martial arts channels are just people showing their own stuff or commenting on a particular subset of martial arts. I really enjoy the comparative approach, especially when mixed with so many other interesting topics, which I think each of you do quite well in your own styles.
Question for you! I've been training muay thai for about a year and I'm lifting/doing conditioning on top of that to supplement the skills I learn in class. I was underweight for years and now I'm feeling healthy and strong, and my strikes feel fantastic. I don't plan on fighting anytime soon (I'd like to be at a point in my life where i can give it my all), but when i do make that decision to fight I'm curious about what weight class i should be aiming for. Is there a general guideline for height/build when I'm choosing a class, or is it more about how my body carries and loses fat when I do a weight cut? I'd like to keep gaining weight and muscle but if that would hurt my ability to fight at an appropriate weight class i can change how i program my exercise and diet.
PS. Thank you for answering my last question a few months ago! It's my favorite video on RUclips. You're the reason i started training, and i wish you the best in your knee recovery. Folks have no empathy for disability, but the unfortunate reality is that we'll all be disabled at some point in our lives.
I like your final comments on self defense. Self defense is a very high priority for me personally. I want be the most prepared to legally deal a bad situation as best as I can, without having to depend on carrying a weapon.
I’ve been in the Military, they do in fact teach hand to hand, for me that was when you run out of bullets your gun becomes a club, also you have a bayonet but really thats for the parade ground if you are in the ceremonial guard.
We did a lot of hand to hand combat training in the Marines back in 07 to 11. The MCMAP program is a solid training regimen. Its almost exactly like going to a gym that mixes karate with kickboxing. Takedowns and submissions were in there too, but honestly if you take a marines gun hes gonna be pretty pissed 😅 i guess my point is, i think its cool that we still practiced traditional martial arts with a belt system in a world that fights with guns. I think we all should remember how to fight with our hands. Another awesome video! Thankyou for the work you do, it is appreciated and clearly needed.
MCMAP is, " Marine Corps martial arts program"
Jocko Willink (the dude that looks exactly like you imagine a marine shoild look) talks a bit about this.
Its a bit like what Icy Mike says. Sometimes you need force thats not deadly. You CAN gun down 3 civilians who are scared out of their mind and dont understand commands in english.
And Jocko talks about muzzle strikes. Which hurts. And makes people bleed. But doesnt make them comply.
Or... you can use grappling.
Are we forgetting that military training is so much different than training for the normal citizen? I am sorry but i dont usually walk arround with military equipment and friends who are also have that
The main reason you do not engage in CQC as armed security is because you are carrying a weapon and if you're the one going close with the perp, there is a very real danger of losing your gun to the perp and endangering yourself and everyone around you as a consequence. Some firms employ a mixture of armed and unarmed contractors for that reason. The police handles it by one officer going in with the other covering. Personally, in my experience, the armed/unarmed responder mix is much safer.
Ramsey, what do I do if my only nearby legitimate fighting gym's advanced classes only do hard sparring? I'm not looking to make a career out of fighting and don't want unnecessary damage that affects me outside the gym from going >70% in sparring rounds.
Should I just stick to the beginner classes that do fundamentals and once a week, 30-50% sparring?
Is this an issue of me not communicating in the advanced classes? I don't mind taking hits, but I nearly was knocked down from a knee to the face last session and also took a seriously hard straight right when I was at my limit and not able to defend intelligently.
Thanks for your content on the channel!
The old saying is if the government says you don't need a gun......you need a gun.
Anything run by the government is not subject to competition, and therefore will only be as good as the bare needed minimum, if even that
Just watched a video of Ramsey talking about the two Greatest Commandments and he is now my favorite RUclipsr.
When I trained at an aikido school as a teen, one of the instructors was a cop and had lots of martial arts experience, and served as a DTI, defensive tactics instructor, at his agency. He taught me 'cop stuff' which includes using handcuffs. He said at his agency officers did qualifications 4x a yr, and firearms qualifications 3x a year..in other words not much practice.
I remember when I was in high school having plans to go to this ninjitsu school that was in the Mission District in San Francisco because I thought I would get ninja abilities; I equate self defense guys to this mentality.

Coach, I have question for you - is including positional/task sparring in any way hard or inconvenient when teaching martial arts classes?
Unnecessary context: I have a friend (not close one, but still) who teach mma classes. Their hours are inconvenient for me, so I'm not regular, typically training elsewhere, but I managed to take part in few of them now and then. During one of the first of such lessons we practiced something, that you could learn much better with position/task sparring. Ok, almost all thing in martial arts you could learn better with addition of positional/task sparring, but it was kind of more obvious than usual in that case. So I talk to my friend about why I think position/task sparring is important. I even summarized few sport science theories to back up my case. First, sensory-motor patterns koncept from Bernstein's theory of dexterity, where quality of such patterns were determined by they ability to adapt to a change. And then stages of formation of open type sensory-motor patterns by Z. Czajkowski (polish fencing theorist and practitioner, unfortunately his works are mostly available only in polish), where later phases are supported by training examples that are practically description of various types of fencing equivalents of position/task sparing. And when I take part in his next classes it included useful position/task sparring. Yet, when I again find time to take part in few of his classes about a month later they not included any positional/task sparring. And I don't really understanding why. Especially as I can not image getting to certain level of skill without positional/task sparring, and he is more skilled than me.
Ramsey, can you talk about your hopes for Elder Scrolls 6? I know it's probably years away from being released, but I'm curious what you would like to see at this point?
My biggest hope: more lizard people.
I remember reading an old military survival manual, and the hand to hand was super super basic. Basically just some judo chops, palms and throws. Than however you get into the bushcraft side, and it turns into a telephone book on how to live in the wild in certain areas. Whats funny however, is it deliberately states, that one of the first things you want to do, is craft a weapon or two, whether for hunting, or human combat. Stating its optimal, and increases the odds of survival by multiple times. Any military guys are gonna get mad with me saying this, but those manuals seriously want a guy to starve to death. They make it so over complicated. Yes, some snares, traps, and other things are really great, but all im saying is nutrition and calaries, really arent that far away usually. I was never in the military, but i spent alot of time with a man that was in one. He also learned his craft in the same forest, just on the european side. The taiga, or boreal. Very similar biom in it aswell. I couod recite so much, but atleast in the boreal, youl never starve. Theres always something to eat, a d catching preybreally doesnt require you to go rambo. Handfuls of plants, berries, bark, shoots, fungus. If you find a river, crawfish are easy to catch. Illegal to catch now says the canadian government for some reason. You can be very lazy here and get by. Not trying to sound ignorant. Iv experienced it. He gave us tips on what desert, mountain, plains, etc, would be like. Never really tried it. Oceans actually the most difficult, apparantly. Saying goes aswell, aslong as you have some plastic or glass, you can make drinking water on the ocean if stranded, by evaporating water. Dont wanna be stranded on cloudy and cold waters. Guy i knew was good buddies with Mors Kochanski. They knew the Boreal. Those were some good days.

As ex-military: The Army and Marines are the ones that teach Hand to hand combat, IN BOOT CAMP. I knew lots marines, as they ARE a subdivision of the Navy, which I served. Marines are tough, and can fight, no problem. 2 weeks during their boot tcamp is spent learning just that. Little fact: Navy Seals recruit from Navy AND Marine boot camps❤. Navy boot camp, no hand combat, same with AF, which my pops retired from. WE SQUIDS(what all other service members call Navy personell) call the AF men, the chairforce 😅. Marines, we call em meatheads and so forth, ya know cuz they ARE the front line, they go in first, always. All non military are in for rude awakening 😅
BMI 40 at 26% bodyfat, yes I am obese, but I’m working on it, by getting out there and training (a lot) dropped 40 pounds over the last year, there is no fight to motivate me apart from fighting the flab.

Question for you: how do you, Ramsey, defeat guard pulling/players in BJJ?
Have a better top game than their bottom game. Get good at guard passing.
The book "On Killing" by Ltc Grossman talks about most soldiers don't want to kill. He works with Police in how to deal with going in to stop Active Shooters. A must read book. I have an E-tool for h2h. Don't want to break any bones.

You've mentioned a few times that you're into the Fallout series.
I think it'd be interesting if you made a commentary video based on the expansion of Honest Hearts in Fallout: New Vegas.
I think your past experience as an actual mormon missionary in dangerous places would make that an interesting watch.
If you want to draw comparisons between Fallout and my experience as a missionary in the slums of Buenos Aires back in the 90’s, a lot of the villas de miseria there looked a lot like Megaton from Fallout 3, but not nearly as nice.
Also, there was a lot of shooting. Not by me, of course.
How much is Joshua Graham representative of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Eh… he’s not quite like anyone I know. But one thing they did get right is that we’re not pacifists.
@@RamseyDewey I'd be surprised if Joshua Graham was like anyone you'd know.
But I also mean the general moral dillemma between fleeing from Zion or attacking the White Legs. Joshua's redemption arc, Daniel, how the sorrows interpret the scripture from the lens of their own folklore with the father from the caves.
All of that could be interesting content to talk about
Safe & Effective is a good exemple of the government'$ love for the sheople.
I've recently started training my self defense skills: every morning, I run until failure. This way I'll slowly improve my stamina and thus the distance I can run in case I have to protect myself.
Hi Ramsey! Question for you: do you think martial arts are a form of folklore? 👋
There is a lot of folklore built up around certain martial arts.
Government websites are often poorly designed. Government systems are famous for inefficiency. Examples probably familiar to just about everyone of how government endorsement does not equate to quality.
Coach will not eat ze Bugs, i see.
That's quite the ending edit. I wonder what he cut out.

@@RamseyDewey but how am I going to want to get out there and train if I don't hear it in The Voice!?
I talked about this with a former member of my country's ""SWAT/Police"" program too, about how much they actually practice stuff like BJJ or the like, so do feel free to write it off as an 'oh he said, they said' hearsay but it's just my experience and what I've been told; they said they got some basics but don't really actively train it at all. And I'm like, ok, but do you know HOW MUCH TIME we spend on the mat trying to learn these things? Like, it takes a crazy amount of time man, it's not enough to just train once a year 🤣but yea their answer was that yes, true, but they can always just get their buddy to help them out. I didn't really get that logic, I'd think it a really valuable skill in that field to help de-escalate situations if need be? But then again, I'm not the government so this opinion must be wrong. Great video as always!
General speaking, if gov recommend something, you should seriousely consider the opposite.
Was an infantryman in the marine corps deployed to afganistan 2013 and CAR in 2015. I got my green belt in mcmap and was supposed to get the brown but my chain if command sucked and i dint care enought to push it as i was getting out (it goes tan grey green brown black) i train bjj and muay tai now for the past few years.
Ya military martial arts is wack its just there to give you an idea on what to do. Any well trained bjj white belt with 6 months of training and lets say 1 competition will slaughter most military personal (untrained in normal martial arts) of equal weight in a hand to hand exchange.
Why well most your training i geared torwards learning tactics, weapon systems, cultures, ect. That leaves very little room for h2h training. Plus your tired by the end of the day you wana go drink with the boys. You dont get newrly enough mat time.
Also consider actual combat is around weapons and using weapons in groups. Also your in full kit easily 100lbs added you aint doing crazy throws, and head kicks. Hell most fire fights i fell down alot cuase terrain sucks. Then if you some how run out of ammo, well now your gun is a spear or bat. Then also theres the issue of h2h isnt pressured to evolve
Military martial arts will always fall behind cvilian combat sports.
Imo what they should do is overhall the system, teach foot sweeps high crotch single leg, basic boxing and leg kicks. Maybe some sweeps from gaurd and a choke or two but really focus on positional control you aint doing much on uneven terrain exuasted with 100 lbs of gear on.
If youre in a h2h situstion in the military positional control is whats gunna matter the most.
From 17th century and downwards hand to hand combat is very important, especially basic hits and wrestling especially locks , hooks and throws. It is also important for wepones fight especially for elite unites. Hand to hand combat have allt common in wepone fights especially swords and knives/dagers. Especially against a heavily armored individual. In China most moves in hand to hand fighting are based on a wepone move first. So both arts feed eachothers.
Most soldiers around the world are good soldiers back in the days. Except in China most of them are not good especially the unexperienced enough conscripts. Only 1/3 of Chinese military power soldiers are professionals in some way on avg across their history.
Like Samurai, Spartans, knights of 9th century onwards in Medieval Europe, Byzantium, Ottoman main army, Mamluk, Templeares, mannetarms of 15th century onwards, Viking elite, Mongolias and Turks, Mughal main army ect... all those guys are trained professionally for decades as not just their job but life in both wepones and hand to hand combat equally. They capable individually and in a small group or a unite.
Forgot tge most professional army that large that is not build on exceptional individuals , Roman Legioneres of experienced veteran core. They very fit and they are trained in wrestling.
Bad soldiers are found in China and after 1750s especially during Napoleon Bonaparte time as well especially during WW1&2. Because they focused on numbers. Incase of WW1&2 there is also the knowledge gap as new things are used and interduced.
Before 1750s most soldiers of each nation/power army other than China are mainly made buy full-time all life professionals from young age up to their 30s and then they can get some time of. Where they get free time mostly for family. Although they still train for many hours a week constantly.
wait, so if you lose ground and then fail to take it back, does that mean you are losing? that is an explosive statement someone should explain this to those news presenters who - in a synchronized canon - are telling me the opposite every day.. as if they were appealing to my religious conditioning to groupthink and unquestioned belief and not my citizen scepticism and logical deduction skill my public education system instilled into me... i m concerned now...

Well said. I would say that self defense is like murder; both are legal definitions which are retroactively applied to human interactions.
3:50 More like a beast.
Lol what's funny is that people's belief in the military being the ultimate fighters come from movies.
Traditional martial arts with realistic training, realistic technique and sparring is actually effective we just don't take these martial arts seriously. Traditional martial arts didn't exist for no reason like someone just get creative and create martial art.
Militaries have been con by a lot of martial artist. The military uses guns they don't have much experience with hand to hand combat.. well Ramsey said basically what I said before I finished writing it lol
