I met Bas Rutten in an airport once. I shook his hand and my liver hurt for 2 weeks.
Dangity Dangity Dang!
@@Raiyne123 and its all over lol
Oh yeah, liver...cute.
Not as much as your pride, after getting slapped unconscious by a dude in thigh highs and a speedo.
It’s payback, punk
What an honor it would be to be trained by this legend.
no shock but he's an amazing teacher, breaks it down to the point anybody can understand it. imo he's the gracie of striking
I'm guessing pretty expensive
scrolled down to type the same thing!! Not many out there like Bas can teach you some real deal shit!!
faz1991 at least we have the KZhead videos to learn. But if you want to have him coach you go seek after him
faz1991 Hell to the yea!
"Calmness will always win in a fight! Agression will always lose" What a great piece of wisdom
but that makes me stop flinching and blinking (aggression)
The look on that kid's when he took the liver shot! He's like WTF?
Magnum Muscle his liver enzymes flashed before his eyes.
Magnum Muscle 2:13 he got punched in the liver then farted and got embarrassed
His hairline moved back another inch
@@imadeyoureadthis1500 🤣 He did. 💀
2:16 he punched him in the stomach and the guy farted and paused all embarrassed
Ethan Willies lmao I had to rewatch it
LMAO
Wtf? Did he actually fart? If so...LMFAO
Ahhhhhh u ninjaa
😆😆😆😆
Bas is the ultimate example of manliness: hard as nails, yet with a contrite, humble spirit, and a sense of humour to boot. In the manliest way possible, I love you Bas, imagine having this guy as an older brother or father figure in your life. Respect to you Mr Rutten
I call that being a Male. But for some reason feminist think us MEN think we want to be aggressive and bullies but in reality real men, fathers and genuine humans are people like bas, no bullshit, tough, mature, will beat ur ass if provoked, but humble, funny and respects all human beings. Hes a leader.
@@jimmydane34 You replied to a two year old comment with something totally unrelated
Huggable Ron what he commented was completely related....read it again.
Huggable Ron it was related dumbass
M G yeah the complete oppsite to the guy with the plugged eyebrows
Sometimes Bas says stuff that doesn't make too much sense... Sometimes this man pukes out almost 4 minutes of vocal gold.
mc swagger that's how it works !
mc swagger nice
"a calm fighter will always win against an aggressive fighter": Bas calls Aldo vs McGregor.
+kedamono no ken and Ronda vs. Holly
+Nathan Earl and now miocic vs werdum
Exactly
i guess attacking with your chin has its disadvantage... X')
+kedamono no ken LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Bas is a smart guy. In my opinion this is what separates fighters from regular guys, how they react when they get hit.
Totally agree man.
That's all walks of life... That's why it takes a special kind of man to be in the SEALs, Marine Recon, Delta etc. They stay calm under the most intense situations
Fedor is the epitome of calm. That guy can do everything and probably just like Bas
@@dl30wpb stop idolizing these guys. Are you gay ?
lmaooo i just saw that body shot! haha guy was looking around like fuckkk dude
Same 😂
he was like damn seriously. Bas don't hurt me... don't hurt me... no more... was his fist gloved? Bas don't hurt me.... don't hurt me.... no more....
it sounded like he farted and shat himself :O
lmao, ya it's always funny. When the technique becomes so ingrained people sometimes forget or don't quit get how hard they're actually hitting because it's so normal to them.
I thought the same. Bas can´t make that punch soft even if he want to.
After being a pro for 13 years I can honestly say that Bas’ striking system is absolutely the best! It genius is in its simplicity.
Love how he is so patient with the new students.what a legend.what a person
Did nobody else click this expecting Bas to show you drills to never get caught out by flinching unnecessarily when somebody feints a strike
Or just to defend calmly, most people just wiggle their arms as fast as they can in a fight
It's amazing the level of deep understanding and utmost proficiency Bas Rutten have on the Fight Mindset. His intelligent and always precise chess-game approach to Fight, with a clever answer to any situation that may occur, and the way he explains it in such clear, logical and concise manner, turns any detailed observation he gives as a fundamental guidance, to any skill level practitioner. This is really what places him apart as one of the most Technical Instructor on the whole upper level of Martial Arts/Fight scene. Those who are able to go train under his tutelage are really a group of lucky ones, as a fellow youtuber said below. Bless Bas!
+guyfromBR It's because Bas got started in MMA back when there was no real path or guidance from coaches who knew everything like we have today. Bas literally taught himself ground fighting by rolling around with teammates and seeing what worked and what didn't and figuring it out by himself. That's what sets him apart from other coaches.
10 000 hour rule personified. Or as Robert Green calls it "Mastery"
guyfromBR when people ask me do I believe in god I say "yes, Bas Rutten"
@@ricr2737 oh please..
yeah yeah..
Lucky guys getting tuition from Bas
The whole thing about keeping your face relaxed is something my Aikido teacher always tells me
of course an aikido teacher would know anything about realistic fighting... yeah, sarcasm.
Bas you are probably the moust intelligent person to teach and speak about MMA in this world. U the man.
Simple but important. Very nice tips Bas. You are not only a great fighter, you are also a top instructor.👌👊
Great to see the advice at the end. It gives me as a viewer more confidence in the drill. Plus it shows how much of a trainer the instructor is.
Totally get it. Same thing with the guitar; start slow with repetition; speed up incrementally; and it’s like you’re playing faster while it seems like your trying to play slower. Awesome!
That forearm strike @2:09. He showed that in a different video I watched a long time ago. It is super powerful. It was an honor to take a seminar from Bas.
bas, nothing but respect to you. One of the best of all time. Thanks for all you do Champ!
Helpful tips for me! I had a pretty bad 'quarter life crisis'. I was unhappy because I tended to avoid problems rather than face problems. A friend of mine (who happened to major psychology) mentioned 'boxing for therapy'. Glad I took boxing class. It helps me to have the 'face it head on' mentality.
Thanks, Bas for applying MMA to the real world and not just the ring. So much of MMA is offensive, you don't see many fighters or trainers talking about blocking and doing the training for it. Your students should be appreciative that they have a teacher that wants them to be ready for the real world, as well as the ring. Really appreciate you putting up an important and needed video. Keep up the good work!
So much wisdom in such a short video
Bas, you're one of the best fighters on all martial arts history, an awsome commentator and, WOW, what a teacher!!!! Your didatics are just so fabulous!! It makes the student's brain learn to observe and block the punches in a slow, calm mood and then fastens it up without loosimg the calm, as the practicing is making you more aware of the punching, and the reflexes of blocking it and clinching. And as you're calm and you can see the punches coming, you can see the openings on the oponent's guard to counter punch too. Suberb!!!
In old school boxing this was the "Wall drill" used to teach head movement without relying on backing up. I never see anyone use it anymore really so I was happy to see Bas use it perfectly. Not that I should be surprised of course.
Bas is THE man!! Total respect. A wealth of knowledge. Awesome fighter back in the day. Knockout power, both hands, both feet. One of the very best.
Great stuff.......bow to the 'Bas'
I really like this drill. Gonna put it to use!!
Good shit, and he's sharing his knowledge for free. that's awesome most people just show snips and then plug a site. he seems well rounded, humble. I enjoy his videos
Bas was the MASTER OF CALM. I saw all his fights.... He always had full control of himself. Relaxed, smooth.... ALWAYS... never panicked.
My uncle, Mark "The Bear" Smith loved you Bas. He always talked about training with you before he past away. It's cool seeing your videos; also I'm positive he's proud of you.
Pearls of wisdom from a great warrior.
Since Ive been seeing Bas on Joe Rogans Pod casts Ive become obseesed, the mans quality.
Conner Moss you should check out the old pride events with bas and steven cuadros calling the fights. that was a golden age in MMA, very entertaining and colorful compared with the uniform UFC of today. anyway i’d rather hear bas call the fight than rogan
It is a pleasure just watching Bas talk. so much wisdom
thanks bas, one of the greatest with amazing fight iq. have benefited from your teachings over the years pls keep up the good work.
Love these fight class video's, Bas!!!
Done this drill in jkd, and it's very effective. Bass has great knowledge as always
Love the no nonsense approach
I've got my first uar rules fight coming up soon and I no this will stand me in good stead. Thanks baz. Best trainer out there
Bas you rock! thanks for the vid uploads
Man Bas is THE MAN !!
Respect to you sir. I train in Kuta and the liver attack will now be included in my reflexes drill especially against taller opponents. Thanks.
This man is a legend on so many levels. Bas🤙🏻
Thank you Mr. Rutten
i have literally seen this guy in a couple vids and he does seem like a great teacher and fighter.
It's satisfying to see Bas' karate base mixed in with his experience as an MMA fighter and coach
Very good instructor! Bas is a guy who obviously has had a lot of experience real time fighting....my favorite kind of training, too....all very practical😊
This was a good video. I like that you don't just focus on the technique "How to block/how to punch/how to etc. and now everyone go practice" but also the technical/psychological side of things like "Here's how to combat flinching/panicking".
Bas you are the man! Your early videos taught me so much. Kept me from getting my ass handed to me when I started sparring. You'll always be my favorite fighter.
thanks for this bas, awesome ideas as always.
he's an EXCELLENT teacher!!!
Great coaching this..... Thanks Bas
Bas is such a great coach. El Guapo dropping knowledge.
Bas is a classy man. Legend
We did this a lot in karate, it was pretty helpful. I find double end bags work well too when you're training alone. Plus if you get hit by it at a high velocity, it won't be too bad but it helps to keep your eyes open.
I have nothing but Respect for Bas!💯👊🏻
Bas altijd weer goede tips !
Handige trainingsmethode! Bedankt voor het delen!
That's a legend there! Respect
Thank you Sir. I love everything you do.
Good stuff, Bas! Rare (sort of) to hear stuff like that.
Wow .. the thing about a calm fighter against an angry one its so true .. and there is a study that said relaxed muscles are more powerfull when they hit . Bas the way u see things on fighting proves why u are a champion .
the legend been watching this guys instructional videos for the longest since i was a kid
Excellent stuff!! Thank Bas!
Thank you soo much El Guapo!!!!! awesome little drill
I'm impressed to see an MMA fighter using blocks! Most of the time when I'm watching UFC, the fighters are taking an unnecessary and excessive amount of blows to the head!
The possibility of elbows, knees, kicks, clinches and takedowns plus the possible combination of them in a combo will slow their reaction to punches. Not to mention the large set of skills to learn.
That's actually why I don't respect too many UFC fighters no care for the art
Antony Drossos thats why.they are brain dead
The Asian ones can't dodge what they can't see.
It's harder to block punches with MMA gloves than boxing gloves
Bas, je bent geweldig! Keep up the good work
Thank You Coach!
Great instruction Señor Bas
Great drill! I do this with all my students that want to compete or really learn how to fight. Always practice realistic situations. This is similar to how a grappler will put them self in uncomfortable situations and try to work themselves out.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Bas....much love handsome one!
Awesome! Going to try this drill!
man with incredible knowledge and power
Uncle Bas with another winner!!!!
Bas for president! Great drill!!!!!
One of my favourites old-school
What a great teacher
My hero, Bas Rutten
loved this vid . thanks bas
yes bass is great really good
Bas is the man!!
Such a simple drill but so useful for actual fighting.
I love how when dude blocks, bas hits him with the liver shot . best coach
What a great instructor!
Left, right hook, mid left full power. Thanks!
Great teacher, thanks for sharing!!!
Amazing drill thanks Bas.
Bedankt Bas!
Really great drill! It's super important to get used to seeing those shots coming and not giving away your defence!
Martial Lee - Vegan MMA for Coaches and Students In watching lots of street fights where someone's backed up most people turtle up after the attacker just wails on them and they eventually land a shot through the guard. I'm gonna drill the shit out of this. To be experienced in reversing a very dangerous position like being backed up seems like a worthy pursuit.
Right on, agree 100% Most of fighting is being comfortable in certain positions
I love the art. Thanks for the tips!
its so cool that bas trains beginners!!!!!!
Yes I totally agree with this one.
His last sentence: "If people start noticing the pattern, they'll beat you". Holy moly, this sentence is so damn true, not even for fighting only. Beside doing muay Thai and Kali(FMA), i'm also a Coder(IT, coding on games) and a gamer since Childhood. And for the most time, no matter what, World of Warcraft, Runescape, Final Fantasy 14 Online etc, all those boss fights are extremly hard but they ALL HAVE PATTERNS. It's a great eye, hand and mind training learning those bosses. With time, your brain will automatically start to see patterns everywhere. You even notice patterns at people in supermarkets buying stuff :P The damn whole world is a pattern, just look at history. War, piece, War piece, war, piece and so on. New Kings were ruling and getting more and more corrupt over time. We see the same with politicians nowadays. They're just no longer called Kings, Kings right hand etc ;)
For me this guy is a legend on a Chuck Norris Level
Truth. Nice one bas
If anyone is wondering the music playing over the PA during the first half is Link Wrays "Apache", and after that it is the Blade nightclub techo music
Good job Mr. Bas
absolutely, no tactic ought be over relied upon; be fluid. bas is very knowledgeable, and a good teacher.
