Anyway, I visited a 500-year-old Turkish hammam in Istanbul where I got slapped, manhandled, and scrubbed raw by a Turkish hammam master with 40 years of experience. What an incredible ASMR massage experience. I felt truly clean and refreshed afterwards and I would highly recommend everyone check out Mihrimah Sultan Hamamı in Istanbul, Turkey! And also check out my great Turkish teacher Efkan: www.italki.com/en/teacher/755...

RAYCON : HEAR EVERY SLAP ARI GOT AS IF YOU WERE THERE 😂
Like you would have to be super clean after that, and if you were to lay in bed after that I don’t think you’d feel your muscles and float to sleep lol. Good job on tightening and toning up the bod. You came a long way with the weight, you will have to do a video of your process you took to achieve such a goal
Your physical workout transformation is amazing.
I worked as gommage worker in a Hammam in Vancouver canada and it looks so different compared to the original ones! This video was so funny and lovely to see you doin what you do and looking like you enjoyed the experience !
go setai massage
The weight loss is real! Well done
Anything to no longer need to study the phrase "I'm fat"
Ozempic? Looks like he dropped 50 pounds overnight.
@@spliffwizard420u dont lose that much weight on ozempic overnight lol
No kidding
I didn’t even recognize him scrolling thru my subs, wild but yum
that guy hit you like you owed him money
They don’t really appreciate jws. Sadly
He did owe him money. But he decided that he might as well get some content out of his suffering.
😂
😂
Hahaha 😂
for those who wondering the feeling after, its like you been set to your factory settings again and never feel cleaner or relaxed before
Exactly!! That's explain the importance of Turkish hamam culture and tradition. Plus you detoksify your body from heavy metals with Turkish hamam experience.
As a Turkish SPA INFO Giver who works at resorts... Absolutely TRUE!
Can confirm. Felt reborn and in new skin. And the tan I got after was out of this world deep. I was in a group of four, all got young guys for their massage, but I got a tiny old guy probably in his 70's.. and he absolutely manhandled me, literally broke me down and put me back together. The strength in his arms and hands were out of this world 😅
Yep, absolutely, well said😂. It's as if your soul gets squished, damned and roughed up and cleansed out and you're all wobbly there and like "ohhhh yeah" , it's a unique feeling
agreed
i love the fact that the turkish man giving him the scrubbing is enjoying it as well
He had to enjoy the job to do it for 40 years :D
Xiaoma looking good . Dude been turning that street food into gains.
😂✨💫😎👍
How did he do it so fast, wow
@@anonymeister123 cut out everything except meat and eggs, it happens real fast.
Nihowmom
Now he looks like Ben Shapiro lmao
The word ‘MANHANDLED’ came into mind right away.
That’s some bdsm shit over here LOOL
Hamamhandled
You can tell he loves his job
40 years of course he loves. Imagine how many asses he's seen in 40 years...
@@dojiiii All of them
Turkish people are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met ❤
I never thought I'd be this entertained watching another dude get massaged 🤣
I cackled at this comment 😂
As a lesbian, I'm just as confused as to why I enjoyed this 😂😂
@@ClearwaterKBomg same 😂
@@ClearwaterKB As a straight man, I’m quite jealous and thinking about getting that done! Looked amazing.
😅🤦🏻♂️💔 ٢٤/٣/٢٠٢٤
He slapped you like he owned you
His arms like Jax’s of Mortal Kombat 😂😂
you mean like you owed him?
@@MountainJohn No, owNed, not owed
Who is your daddy 👨 😅
Lmao
by the look of the massagers face, you can really tell that he wants to give you a good experiece. Turkish people are so lovely. You can really tell that he is happy that you visit his country and even speak some of his language. Nice video
Yes friend, exactly that! 😃
It’s a beautiful thing. ❤
Of course he would. I would be happy if I heard a foreigner speak Tunisian to me, people are lazy and only learn English, if they spoke it fluently that is...
They are aholes but in the best way possible..They live on teasing, and the tears of those that don't understand it
@@Astrodicted you mad?
I love your positive attitude with a man slapping you around
Hearing you nervously giggle/laugh had me cracking up. I bet after the soreness goes away in a day or two, you’re going to be feeling amazing!
Haha, what does it say about us that we enjoy this so much?😃
I'm crying laughing over here! I thought my massage therapist was rough 😂
the thing is there is no soreness as your skin was hot bcs of the steam there. after this you change up and voila a new men/women to enjoy the life out there.
Not in 2 days.. you feel good right after, and by evening you're literally on a high..
Welcome to Istanbul. You are really clean now. People who went to the bathhouse understood what I meant. They cleaned all the dead skin with a scrub. I love the bath culture. A real clean!
Why the smack with the mit?
@@luonasexton5284 He might just be trolling there... But then again, everything else isn't quite gentle either
@@Nitidus he is not trolling it's part of the massage😮 They just a bit exaggerate it when it comes to tourists
I never thought that Xiaoma will come to Turkey in my life.Glad you came in Welcome the Turkey Xiaoma
Wonderful country^^
Bundan önce bir ünlü kanal daha gitmişti youtube kanalında beni taciz ettiler bana ellediler falan diye şikayet etmişti bu öyle bir şey dememiş endişelenmiştim.
Welcome xiaomoo
@@saatci1441it’s ok, don’t worry.
OMG!!!! I went to this Hamman in 2012 and had the same massuese!! My experience was exactly the same, this guy is for real and not just for the camera.
Masseur. Not Massuese.
The masseuse reeeally loves his job! He folded you like laundry
Great effort on the body transformation 👍 keep up the hard work brother
It's an old video. LMFAO.
@@401Impalafr?!
Honestly Xiaoma has had a glow up since the Korean bath. Man has been going to the gym and it’s paying off
He’s been going to the gym, it’s just he changed his diet if you watch his new vid
Xiaoma: Do all customers get the same treatment? Turkish Man: Oh I don’t work here 😌😎🤙🏽
🤣👏👍
😂😂😂😂
bruh im dyin
lmaooo
I laughed the entire time! 😂 you looked so relaxed afterwards.. Your channel is so inspiring
8:55 the way it cuts to him smiling i cannot 😭
This makes me feel like I've not been bathing myself well enough
The cut away to the Korean Scrub @ 8:01 Dude! Had me dead 🤣🤣🤣
Same lol. Was not expecting that
I LOL’d
Impressive! As someone in the medical field, I saw quite a bit of different types of therapeutic massage in there and soft tissue release. He worked a lot of fascial trains. Possibly some fascial rolling, Pretty interesting combination of bodywork there, by the way, you look great. definitely been doing a lot of weight loss and exercise training.
"In the medical field" lolz
@@rusinoe8364i know right? who knew the "medical field" was so broad? I'm also pleasantly surprised, like yourself, at how broad it is. I didn't know you knew this as well. So glad you feel the same.
@@damondavros3712 as someone who comments on KZhead videos, I noticed you also comment on videos.
@@damondavros3712 It's just that the term is so broad and not clearly defined at all that it doesn't really lend you any serious credibility for the latter part of the comment. It's somewhat of an argumentum ab auctoritate, an "argument from authority", as in: ›Look, I'm in some abstract way a professional, and therefore the following is right without the need of proof.‹
@@Nitidus That's a silly comment. You never give out too much info about yourself on KZhead. I mean, I don't. You might, others might, but abstract comments and generalizations is exactly the right thing to do on a public platform. Same reason I and many others find public forum Platforms such as Twitter and FB a bad risk and voluntary erosion of personal privacy. But, if you'd like me to read a medical record and explain it to you, i can do so if you really need "proof" lmao.
Those Turkish hammams, where the only thing hotter than the steam is the hand that hits you back to reality.
😂
I have had the same experience at the same hammam in Istanbul and I feel your pain! Thanks for taking me back down memory lane. Türkiye is a wonderful country with beautiful people 🥰
Ouch 😮...the way the guy keeps smiling. Every few minutes he looks at the camera after the torture and he smiles like he's having fun
To them its a job
The goat keeps dropping classics
It's so good to see people from other cultures having fun (at your expense)
So lovely to see someone enjoying their work! This was fascinating but also quite funny. Thank you, Ari.
Your giggle made my day! Living a full life of experience my friend! Love to see it.
Now THIS is content.
Xioma turning into a stud! Keep up the hard work, body looks great!
I counted 47 parts of this that would put me in the hospital 😂
Thank you for taking us on this journey! Fascinating architecture and customs. You are very brave.
Türkiye'ye hoşgeldin :)
Welcome to Turkey!!
Good on you! That was so enjoyable to experience alongside you thanks!
I'm convinced Arieh could have his limbs torn off his body and he would still just nervously laugh. 😄 Arieh, well done on the weight loss and toning up!!! You're an inspiration, sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I went to Turkey a few years ago. It's lots of fun. Don't miss the Gallipoli Peninsula south of Istanbul. A big battle took place there in 1915 the trenches are still there.
I’ve been planning my honeymoon to Istanbul for a few years, this may have sealed it! I love when kind people fully embrace you in their culture
I absolutely loved the video, i laughed my ass off through out the whole video. Huge hug from Portugal!
Oh my gosh I really needed to see that-😂 And you trimmed down fast, you look amazing!
I went to Turkey years ago and remember walking past this bathhouse. I think I took a picture of the front. I have heard of how aggressive they are in there. Wow!
That mini clip of the Korean massage in the middle of the video caught me by surprise. And I’m not gonna lie but my eyes were instantly drawn straight to the black modesty circle right in the centre of the screen.
A message of support for this channel and a thumbs up on the video. Thanks so much for the effort to provide such consistently good content.
Fascinating, and you look great, Xiaoma!
OMG! Thank you for sharing the whole process. You are such a great sport! And the turkish gentleman was so good ans so funny!! I need one of these places in NYC!! I would be there a few times a year!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I can not tell who is more enjoying the bath, xiaoma or this Turkish man😂
I think the Turkish man
Türkçe öğrendiğin için teşekkürler. Ben de bunu yapıyorum çünkü bu benim babamın büyük ailesinin dili. Melbourne Avustralya'dan size sevgiler. Thanks for learning Turkish. I am also doing it because it is my father's huge family's language. My love to you from Melbourne Australia.
Great way to show of the new bod. Looking good my dude!
Thanks again for another great adventure!
Xiaoma got in shape! Well done, Sir.
kudos to your guide, he is very well educated in turkish history. interestingly enough, most turks wouldn't know some ottoman rulers saw themselves as caesars of "the new rome" and would think nomadic horse archers from east of the caspian sea were capable of inventig the turkish baths without seeing the roman versions first.
they weren't basic nomadic horse archers... not anymore. The turkic tribes who inhabitate turkey and created the ottoman empire, were already heavily influenced by the persian empire before.. The first big turkic empire in that region was the Seljuk Empire... The Seljuks wanted to be the new Persian Empire.. after the sejuk empire collapsed, a smaller Seljuk empire in anatolia was created, which called themselfs Rum-Seljuks and only after that the Ottoman Empire was founded. What I wanted to say is, the turkic tribes already had knowledge of these kind of public baths before they stepped a food on anatolian ground. The arabs were the first to adapt to these public baths and they kept the knowledge alive... turkes learnd it from the persians. by the time they conquerd Anatolia, the byzantian had already forgotten how to build these new baths and the arabs, persians and turkic muslims where the ones who build new baths in.
@@maroda8094 you are talking about the ruling elite of the seljuks. they had a settled government copied from persian style and an army system mostly turkic but as i've said, only the ruling elite, a small percentage. most turkic people who rushed into anatolia in large waves were petty nomadic warlords and the tribes they gathered who wanted more lavish lands to graze their livestock and looking for adventure and loot (therefore more power) generally. edit: and no, "turkic tribes" were almost non-aware of the persian lifestyle. most of them didn't even live in the cities in the seljuk empire. which was lucky for seljuks (and anyone outside looking for formidable mercenaries) cause cities don't breed horse-archers or naturally tough warriors pre-training. they were only as accustomed to city life and persian lifestyle as today's "yörüks" of turkey or nomads in turkmenistan are.
@@sickturret3587almost every muslim city had already public bath houses before turkic tribes entered the muslim world. Turkic tribes lived in this muslim world for upto 400 years before the ottoman empire was founded. that the common folks of every ethnic living in that area didn't visited a public bath isn't unique for the turkic tribes. Most people lived in villages and were farmers.. villiages didn't had public bath houses.. the turkic people didn't had villiages because theye where nomads but their live wasn't that different from a common roman, arab, armenian or any other ethnic group living in that area. Public baths were only located at cities and only a smal percentage of every ethnic group lived in these cities.
They were using natural water sources for bath like every civilized nation did.After settling,the baths were just for elites but there were public baths too as i said it was natural water resources, being clean is an important thing in Turkish culture so its just hamams are from byzantine but other than that its because Turks has a culture of hygiene even before settling
Roman baths and Turkish baths are different and for this reason alone it is correct to separate them as "Roman bath or Turkish bath or Japanese bath, Finnish bath (sauna)". and considering that the oldest bath ruins identified in Turkey date back to 300 BC, there was already a bath culture in these lands long before Rome and others. And as you know, "modern Turks" are genetically a mixture of 25-45% Seljuk (Turkmen-Iranian) and 55-75% ancient Anatolian people, and anyway "hammam" was not a foreign thing at least for 55-75%. And I must point out that the Seljuk Empire and the Turks were not "barbarians" at all, as you Europeans always underestimate! At least they were not as barbaric as the rest of Europe, except perhaps Greece and Rome. Although Selçuklulur did not live very long, they built many universities, hospitals, structures called "Caravanserais" every 40-50 kilometers for the safe accommodation of passengers and caravans, and countless bridges and infrastructure in Anatolia in the 12th and 13rd centuries. so much so that they did this even while the Mongol invasion was ongoing. In fact, the most civilized and developed country of the time was the Seljuk Empire. After this "unnecessary" information, I hope you understand why the bath culture that the Roman Empire took from Anatolia was not so adopted in other Roman lands and did not survive for a long time, and why it survives to this day in Turkey.
When you were on your tummy, and he bent your leg back!!! That made me hurt just watching it! My calf would not go that far to touch my thigh!! Thank you for this great video. I enjoy your videos and your adventurous spirit!! 😃
Thought this was an old video from xiaoma's younger days until I saw the upload date. Kudos on the transformation my dude, always good to make a positive change like that. You look great.
I couldn't do this. Props to Xiaoma. You are more brave than me!
This must be one of your best videos I have seen! And I have seen a lot! I laughed the entire time! 😂
lookin good bro! looks like youve been putting in some work burning fat and building muscle💪 keep it up bud!! love the video as always!
I think this is an old re-uploaded video
Xiaoma always doing fun and crazy stuff for the fans hahahah I was laughing so hard great video my dude
This man was born for the camera, the way he smiled and everything
Amazing! Love these videos and so impressive to see how you've transformed yourself physically too. I'm trying to get in shape right now and you're a real inspiration to me. Also, I really want to learn how to tie a towel like that dude at the end tied the towel around your head!
The title terrified me a lot more than it should’ve 😂🤣
THE MASSAGE EQUIVALENT OF SPICY FOOD. “YUP… I CAN TAKE IT.. IM FINE” 😂
I agree with spicy food, but never go wrong with one of these massages. Your body needs pampering every now and then.
@@armandob.castenelli3525 yup. the amount of dead skin you see you were carrying on you the whole time is always shocking. it's crazy how much of it you have even if you shower twice a day.
I laughed the entire time. I needed it! Thanks, Xioma!
I was wondering when you'd tackle Turkish! Tebrik ederim ve çalışmaların için iyi şanslar abi 🇹🇷
Istanbul is a great city to visit and Turkish people are lovely.
This is so good! Xiaoma looking fit asf!!!
you have a contagious joy about you, Its a wonderful thing to see. you have been granted the gift of being an ambassador to the nations. I pray you continue to use it to spread love and unity little brother.
That was so funny, I can't believe you went through it. My hats off to you.
You are so vocal while getting tortured it is hysterical. I had a similar massage by a large Russian woman. It hurt like hell. No, I did not feel good after.
Don't exaggerate if you want. This is not torture, this is a hard massage and I am sure it is good for your body. Sometimes having a firm massage on the body is very relaxing. His body is relaxing, even though it hurts, that's why he seems hysterical to you.
@@esrasimsek1516This is not a massage. Its a person just doing random things, nothing good to feel about. Randomly hitting you in your spine and twisting limbs, who knows how many people he injured
@@XmXm999 It is not a professional advice. You need to go knowing that it is not.
One of the best videos. I have not laughed like this for a while.
Xiaoma you are looking great! You are always an inspiration to be our best!
Great video, was great to see you in my country. Keep up the great work. ❤
Xiaman flexing his abs 💪 💕
The acoustics in that room were insane
the man scrubbing ari had the time of his life and I love it
So glad you did this video after your ozempic! You look so much better
I got hamagionized in Turkey several years ago. I had black and blue ateas popping up for a week, but you can't believe how clean you get.
This is the best 😂 I love how the cameraman does a close up of the guys face every time he smacks the hell out of you 😂😂😂
I'm glad you did this, go to Istanbul. I wrote to you a year ago about learning some Turkish. It's very difficult language - subject, object, verb, but it's a very fun language. I've been there 4 times and it's one of the most beautiful places in the world to see, and live. Favorite music is Tarkan. He's the Man there. lol
Thank u for sharing this experience! I will definitely try it when I visit.
How did you lose so much weight? You look great!
They slapped it out of him lol. But for real you're right he's done great
So basically, for 40 years, he's been in training and figuring it out. And in the end, it has worked out well for those under his care lol. Love it.
he probably started as an apprentice of another guy who done this job for 40 years. i don't think he learned the job by trying and failing lol. he would have served jail time for that 😂
Wow dude I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while and noticed you slimmed down. Good job man you look great! And great content as usual 👍
welcome bro :) i was looking aroung when i was in nyc last month, now i notice that you are just near my place :))

Love it. Istanbul (not Constantinople) is one of my favourite cities to visit.

I literally felt bad for u but uncle's smile was so genuine that it made me forget all the troubles you went through..😂
MY God! I came here to look how many years ago this was filmed. You look so good and much younger!!!
I almost didn’t recognize Xiaoma. Great video and great transformation
No spinal injuries 👍
Don’t normally comment on people looks and stuff you’re looking trim Xiaoma 💪💪
Wow, you took a beating there, but it looked like you enjoyed every second! Looking good too, that insert of your past visit to the spa in NYC enables a before and after comparison.
You look younger and healthier now ❤ You give us inspiration to start too 😊
