Seeing a dude win by just standing there and refusing to drop to the ground until the judge made him
Kind of like Steven Seagal's martial art that requires someone to attack you in a very specific way for it to work at allIsn't that basically every martial arts? Either it assumes that your opponent will stand there and let you perform whatever elaborate moves/counter that they teach you. Or they assume that your opponent will come at you in a very specific way without ever deviating from their initial plan, usually leaving a big opening in the process.
He didn't prove anything other than that training helps win a fight.
So... this is pretty stupid. Martial arts are "sports" they have rules to reduce risk of permanent injury. So he showed up without respect for sport and goes "I'm technically not breaking any rules" to be a dick. A tournament isn't a street fight and I'm not feeling particularly impressed watching him use a tournament setting to prove he is better when he refuses to fight by the same sporting standards.These.
Yeah he proved nothing
He proved that martial arts for self-defense and for sport are not comparable.You're not going to see a backwards roundhouse kick to the head coming, and if your opponent is more wary you can just stick to basic punches and blocks. The only way I was able to get points on the blackbelts was to do a fakeout punch.
I mean, take a particularly devastating martial art like Taekwondo; You get an extra point just for spinning... why would you add a flourish in a real fight?
he won the tournament with zero training.Nope.
FYI MMA has proven most established forms of traditional martial arts don't actually work in a real fight.A lot of the best mma fighters are trained in BJJ so I don't really agree. Anyway, martial arts can absolutely be applied in a street fight. But it's important to go into a street fight knowing it's not in a controlled setting and that you need to be prepared for anything
"Real Fight" being, a fight where the opponent is uncooperative, and not restricting themselves to the same fighting style as you.
Yeah he proved nothingYeah he did. He proved he's a dumbass

That's the point.
MMA fighters train in multiple fighting styles, than apply the parts that work. That's the point.A lot of street fights go to the ground though and someone trained in BJJ definitely has the upper hand on the ground. And yeah, I'd agree it's mostly just important for grappling. But more often than not in mma, the guy with a really good ground/submission game has the upper hand over a good standup striker with poor ground ability
Although a lot of that does end up being grappling.
And even MMA doesn't allow you to hit people in the groin, which technically speaking, falls under the "real fight" scenario, because at the end of the day it still only exists because it can be profited off as entertainment, and they can't have all the fights devolve into the groin hit speedrun.
Kind of like Steven Seagal's martial art that requires someone to attack you in a very specific way for it to work at allAikido
This kind of makes him the asshole, though.
It'd be like entering a greco-roman wrestling tournament and refusing to assume the clinch position. Sure, you might be technically right that it would never happen in a "real fight", but you're still a prick.

The whole reason BJJ and other grappling arts thrive in MMA is because the rules protect their weaknesses and give them an unfair advantageBeing able to actually take someone down and grapple effectively can absolutely help you win a street fight lol. I'd actually say having a good ground game is the most important factor that could save your ass from being pounded to dust. Sure every combat sport is a controlled setting with rules but anyone in the ufc would absolutely annihilate you or me in a street fight too because they are highly trained in multiple martial arts, wrestling, etc
Yeah he did. He proved he's a dumbassThere ya go
Honestly I don't know anything about the ranks, I just figured he only showed one match because he got tossed out after for being disrespectful and not fighting properly.White belt is given to you the second you enroll. They're total pushovers with no clue how to defend themselves, doesn't matter their size, they don't know how to fight.
Next he'll make a video about how easy soccer is when you simply pick the ball up and throw it into the goalLmao

He basically took one white belt of a language he dislikes and went "see? the whole language sucks" (because he just barely beat them)

Yeah the dude in the video is either trolling or incredibly dumb and arrogant. I'm gonna go with trolling because he's got a YouTube channel to feed. It's clickbait.Like, obviously it's trolling. Rather harmless though, just made the other guy feel pretty foolish.
There's no way anyone who takes fighting seriously would dismiss BJJ as ineffective any more than anyone who takes fighting seriously would put all their fighting eggs in one basket and focus on BJJ alone as the only discipline to study to become a well-rounded, professional fighter.Where is it "required" and WHY is it required for a BJJ tournament that you agreeably flop to the ground like a professional soccer player?
Homeboy seems to have a boner for karate. If you took a grandmaster in karate and a grandmaster who holds high-degree belts in karate and BJJ and staged a no-holds barred fight, my money is on the one who studied BJJ coming out on top.
Which is essentially what this guy does in the video. With his prior knowledge of karate and training, however brief, in BJJ he clearly outclasses the BJJ white belt. The white belt who's trying to fight within the ruleset of the tournament which the YouTuber is completely ignorant of, garnering penalties and warnings for doing dumb shit. Hardly a fair representation of BJJ and not at all an honest depiction of what a fair and even matchup would look like
Just an ignorant take all-around, honestly
Next he'll make a video about how easy soccer is when you simply pick the ball up and throw it into the goalPretty disingenuous comparison. More accurate would be winning at soccer by just standing around, walking casually, and kicking the ball when it comes to you or something.

Pretty disingenuous comparison.
If you're sure the guy you grab and wrestle to the ground doesn't have a knife on him or something.Lol well, we're just completely invalidating any fighting methods in general if we're bringing weapons into the equation. But yeah, BJJ isn't very effective against a 12 gauge I'll admit lol
just made the other guy feel pretty foolish.No way of knowing how his opponent felt, but even if he made his opponent feel foolish, he accomplished more in making himself look foolish by entering a tournament wholly ignorant of the rules and by being very likely much more accomplished as a karate student than his opponent is as a BJJ student yet still barely eking out a win
Where is it "required" and WHY is it required for a BJJ tournament that you agreeably flop to the ground like a professional soccer player?... Uh, it's a tournament ? All fighting arts competitions have rules. You aren't allowed to go wrestle your opponent into an armbar and submit them in a karate match. BJJ has a different scoring system than karate. Different rules.

Was there any part of the video where karate bro had the clear upper hand? Other than disregarding the rules and outright breaking them, all he did was spin out of a couple grabs. He didn't gain the upper hand until the end of the match when he capitalized on his opponent being gassed
