This is one of my favorite videos on the internet about how aggravated he seems but is still understanding and wants to teach people the safest method just in case
How to punch somebody in wrestling and choke sound dumb
How to body slam somebody in wrestling if somebody tries to punch you how to punch them
I used to use a plastic folding chair. When it opened when you hit someone over the head it had a great effect. Much safer too
Where did u find the plastic folding chairs at
It would not be safer since a plastic chair would crack or shatter leaving ridged edges all over the ring & on a chair hitting them a second time with cracked plastic would be sure to fuck someone up
@@Donaldtrummp you hold by the legs so the chair opens as it hits the head. I never had one crack on me
@captain scentsible39 no they’re fake
@@captainscentsible3938 They're probably real steel chairs. They don't use them very often, only when they need to convey that a guy hates the other a lot. Also notice that they don't hit eachother in the head anymore.
I loved how frustrated he is the whole video he clearly dosen't love the steel chairs.......
I actually do love the Steel Chair. I've used it and have been hit with it like no ones business. I have, however, suffered from many concussions from it. Back in the mid 90s we said "oh you got your bell rung sit out for a minute and jump back in" now we know that "bell rung" is a concussion and we know it causes serious damage down the line. My students are 20 times more creative than I ever was and should be able to use that creativity to be smarter. But I also know when you're coming up in the business you want to do the things you've seen your heros do. So no matter what I say I KNOW THEY WILL still use the chair.
@@SantinoBros Can you do a video over how to jump off a ladder or how to slam someone through a table/plywood? I see that on the indie's a lot and Im trying out soon, so Im kinda curious. Im not going to do it in training, just curious
I am way late to this video but I've been a longtime wrestling fan going back to the late 60s, (that shows you how old I am). I am not, nor can I ever be, a professional wrestler, but I deeply appreciate your passion and teaching about your business. Thank you for all you do. Watching this video brings to mind a story that Jim Cornette told about Big Bubba Rogers when he was in the old NWA. Dusty Rhodes asked someone to gimmick a wooden chair so they could use it later in a match. When it came time to use it, Dusty grabbed the chair, swung it hard which blasted the slats off of the back of the chair, and wound up horse-collaring Bubba. Bubba's just wearing it as he takes off his fedora hat, shakes the pieces out, and all the while Dusty's backing up, which he had never done before. Come to find out later the guy who was supposed to gimmick the chair forgot to do so, so Bubba took a full shot but just shook it off. A helluva story about a way different time.
I just found this channel not long ago as well, just great, passionate content.
He is so pissed he has to do this video🤣🤣
Ikr 😂
Lol you know good and well he had students talking about it and asking about it. Didn’t know about the stepping on the lip part....not planning on hitting someone in the head with a chair but good to know
😂
Well your partner didn’t complain 😂
These videos give me a new appreciation. Wrestling isn't fake, it's not safer, it's just spectacle.
Yup, there's a big difference between fake and scripted/choreographed. If you want to use the word fake, it's probably more accurate to say the OUTCOMES in pro wrestling are fake. but the risk and pain people can experience from it are real. Fair disclosure, I'm not a pro wrestler myself, just a guy who's had his fair share of spills in life to know you can only do so much to absorb a fall, but you can fall correctly to avoid an injury, which I have figured out how to do on my own. Still hurts when you fall, just you don't have a sprain or broken bone to also contend with after the fact, though bruising is still a likely outcome.
Only thing scripted is the moves and winner Al the bumps are real
joey you have helped me so much in my adventure into wrestling. ive watched it all but by far this is the best one cause you just tell it like it is .
Real passion from this man.
I never go for the head. I was taught to only attack the upper back. Interesting to see if you do a video on getting color.
Love the release tip on contact, dissipates so much energy from making it through and it honestly looks heinous when you do it.
Listening to you makes wanna go to the class already lol
I hate when there are completely stubborn and don't listen to anyone, I have seen many over the years. Or the guys who t all so much smack but are too afraid to go and train. Please keep making videos like this!
Thank you for uploading! There is also a correct way to deliver and take a chair shot on the back of your opponent's head and shoulders. I'd like to see a video of that. 😎
These videos are very fascinating to watch. So many little nuances to everything in pro wrestling that you don't realize.
Plastics chairs are for the gays
That’s crazy. I’m surprised a ex wrestler hasn’t started making prop chairs.
im glad to no theres no "safe way" to use a steel chair,when i found out wrestling was fake as a kid i was pissed,atleast i know the hardcoreness of ecw was real af,u cant fake barbwire
you do,in wwe they did it on the 2x4 used on cactus jack vs tripleh but in ecw it was always legit
you do,in wwe they did it on the 2x4 used on cactus jack vs tripleh but in ecw it was always legit
So cool 👍 training keep it up
You are amazing man
Thanks for your explain... i'm reallly corious about how wrestler did it
This is my favorite video on the internet right now
That’s sad
Joe, thank you for your videos. I restarted my pro wrestling training after getting hurt a few years ago because I love pro wrestling and want to do it. I am a nontraditional student because of my age.. but anyways... my question is what are some techniques to get over messing up my bumps and not having my head hit the mat. I have awesome trainers here in Korea with pws and they are working with me... what are your thoughts brother?
You can wear boxing headgear until you get used to tucking your chin
I love this dude... He keeps it all the way fucking real 😂🤣😂
Me: sees the title Me: FINALLY
To old to try but love watching. Thanks
Our oldest student graduated at 50 years old. How old are you?
Age doesn't matter, live your dreams!
You shoulda taught Shawn Spears 😂😂
Cody actually asked for that chair shot. He's V.P. of AEW, no 1 is hitting their boss in the head with a chair, without approval.
@@AT4our you sure man? Either way Cody got hard way'd cuz Shawn Spears didn't prep the lip like shown in this video
@@ForeignWarren ur right, it wasn't done right, but it was part of the show. Shawn Spears admitted in their AEW podcast.
The chair was supposed to be a gimmicked chair. The only bad thing is the cut. And the DUMBEST thing about it is it was SUPPOSED to be controversial and it was.... then AEW was like "It was fake. It was gimmicked. It was done wrong but Cody's okay" They made wrestling REAL and CONTRIVERSAL like they wanted and STILL killed it. And now they haven't done SHIT with it or Shawn Spears and he's back where he was in WWE. I don't get it. If you want something to be controversial, COMMIT TO IT WHEN IT'S CONTRIVERSAL. Impact didn't back up when MVP dropped the N word on Impact. They went with it. TBH it was one of the best and most under rated promos ever too.
I didn't knew about Steve-Os wrestling skills!!
Thanks so much for this Joey, I'll give this a try next time WWE is in town. Last time I must have done it wrong, and got kicked out by security. Didn't even get compensation for my tickets.
Were you wrestling!? Lmao who did u hit with a chair 😂😂
This is the best video you have made haha
BEST VIDEO IN THE WORLD!!!!!!
I love this
This guy's awesome
Pro wrestling u need to chair it give u 1990 feeling watching it I love this teacher
When they say don’t try this at home you really shouldn’t, me and my friends growing up all wanted to be wrestling and one of my friends hit the other with a steal chair the wrong way like how he showed in the video, he had to get 12 stitches, had a concussion and now has a permanent scare on his head. Now as I’m someone who is training to be a wrestling just do a back shot it is not worth it to take a chair shot to the head, I wish I would have trained under this guy cause he is so much better of a teacher
I've seen a lot of wrestlers hit people with a bit of a skipping off to the side effect. They begin the swing looking like its straight head on to the opponents head but they make contact and kind of move the momentum off to the side. I don't know if I'm describing it well.
I get it, make the direct contact a grazing blow via momentum to minimise potential injury, loud and clear
Haha, love this
I love this guy 😅
Very interesting
Omg 😳 I love this guy 😂😂😂😂
We cover the chair shots with our hands flat open so it still gets that sound
Fucking thank you for this playlist, you and Robbie are fucking fucking fucking awesome trainers
I'm reminded of Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney, as a shoot, zip-tying the chairs so it'd be a harder shot when they'd hit. My friend took one of those back in the day and legit blacked out for a minute, pissed himself, and woke up outside the ring having no idea how he got there, concussed out of his gourd.
Very interesting. I never heard about the zip ties, makes since if you're looking for ultimate damage....i guess.
Joey chaos is the man
This is really good. I am happy your said the best way too use a chair. In my opinion the best way is to not use one.
Don’t forget the Sabu toss or throw
One of my favorites. Been on the receiving end of his chair throw too a few times! Ahh the memories!
Santino Bros. Wrestling Is the toss safer or more dangerous?
What a promo. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much, now I'm ready to take on my maths teacher.
Fractions got me like that too but leave the poor teacher alone!
@@SantinoBros hahaha🤣🤣 thanks for the reply
Apparently they still use the chair at the Montgomery Brawl😂
I had my promoter/trainer tell me to hit him with a chair once. In the back, though. But it was for a show, I'd never been taught how to use a chair and he just said, "Swing for the part of my back where I would bump. It'll be fine." I remember heaving that thing above my head (he was on hands and knees on the outside) and thinking "How the fuck can I do this without hurting him?" So I hit the side of the floor as close to his ribs as I could. I ended up hitting his funny bone. We got to the back and he was like "Goddamn, kid, didn't I show you how to actually swing one of those things before the show?" NO! YOU DIDN'T!
I want to get into wrestling, but I'm definitely not going to do a chair shot to the head. I'll take it to the back of do a DDT of piledriver on a chair before I take a head shot. I've had 2 concussions growing up, don't need any more.
Real mens take a chair shot to the package
Hearing him drop all those F-Bombs reminded me of the scene in, “Planes Trains and Automobiles” when Steve Martin lets out a string of F-Bombs talking to the Marathon car lady. “You can wipe that f*ckin’ smile of your f*ckin’ cheeks and get me a f*ckin’ automobile! A f*ckin’ Dotson, a f*ckin’ Toyota, a f*ckin’ Mustang, a f*ckin’ Buick! Four f*ckin’ wheels and a seat!”
🤣🤣😂
Santino Bros. Wrestling And now for part 2 to that movie scene I referenced! “I really don’t care for the way you’re speaking to me... And I really don’t care for the way your company left me in the middle of f*cking nowhere with f*cking KEYS to a f*cking CAR that isn’t f*cking there! And I REALLY didn’t care to f*cking WALK down a f*cking highway and across a f*cking RUNWAY to get back here and have you SMILE at my f*cking face! I want a f*cking car RIGHT...F*CKING...NOW... May I see your rental agreement... I threw it away! Oh, boy...! “Oh, boy” WHAT...?! ...You’re f*cked!
Bill Russell got a chair for chuck and stephen a. Now that would be entertainment. " dont jinx our next banner gentlemen" lol
Hey what about way wwe uses by hitting someone in the back instead of the head, do you think that is safer, or still dumb way to use a chair?
Hey chair to the back is still a classic
This is why WWE does not allow headshots anymore. Only the fat mostly part of the back which hurts but doesn't hurt as much being hit in the head. There's only a certain part of the back there supposed to hit two and it's up near where the shoulder blade is. Right under it is a huge muscle and that's where it's the best to hit without causing much injury. I've been watching wrestling for 45 years and I never would have took a chair shot that's why I didn't get into pro wrestling trained professionals or not like I said I've been studying it for 45 years and I would know there's no safe way to take a chair shot or to be superplex on a ladder. Taped up halo kendo sticks keep them from breaking and cutting people. And the sledgehammer in WWE is one hundred percent real but it's easy to see that the fist is what context the head of the other rustler not the sledgehammer which would cause massive damage.
How is this Guy called i Wanna Order this
he seemed so aggravated and pissed off 😭
This guy is my fucking hero
Love how he said you don't wanna eat the whole fucking move when eating the chair
Can we join ur wrestling team?
Talk about how payoffs are calculated for a live show minimum guarantee etc Thanks
When I wrestled with a chair involved, I would always agree to take a chair shot to the back. But I would never agree to take a chair shot to the head. I can always take a chair shot to the back and sell it. But I've always felt that chair shots to the head were far too dangerous.
Viva españa🇪🇦
this video is great lol down to the "the fuckers are crazy anyways so their gonna fucking do it" lmaoooo true my guy true.
Gotta take one for the fans.
*I hit myself over the head with a cheap metal chair from Walmart at realized that taking a chair shot is a guranteed concussion. How the fuck did mick Foley take 5+ from the Rock JFC*
Well, I'm sure he did it for the love of the game. As Pro Wrestlers you have to be crazy stupid to use a chair and that's not an insult whatsoever. I'm crazy stupid cause I love using the chair, but I know I shouldn't. I know the effects it does, we've always have. But if it's gonna help advance the storyline I'll utilize it. That's why we sometimes call it the sickness. But don't do it, you have the ability to be far more creative than to have to use a chair.
He had brain damage, memory loss, and had to retire because of it.
The undertaker chair shot goat
How come you have the Red Lion Flag of Luxembourg in the back there? Always happy to see my country represented!
Each flag in the Dojo represents a country a Santino Bros has wrestled in. We toured Europe back in 2016
@@SantinoBros That's good to know. Then I hope you come around again in the future. There are barely any Wrestling shows around here.
Until I was about 16-17, I just simply didn’t know any better and never looked it up so I figured Pro Wrestlers legitimately use different chairs that aren’t actually like a metal folding chair. I’m an adult now and looking back at every single chair shot I’ve ever seen…especially the shots that Bubba Ray Dudley, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Eddie Guerrero and many others took…yikes man.
Dangerous
Man he is so pissed of🤣🤣
Where do you get those chairs?
Oh ok cool thanks
He reminds me of like a very frustrated Steve-O and Johhnny Knoxville
Who is here after the Montgomery boat brawl?
Joey “Chaos”. Hahahahahahahahahaha
I like it. But WWE banned the chairshot on the head, if there's only avoid the impact of chairshot on the head with bare hands protect the skull.
This was legit funny as fuck.
Remember when undertaker hit maven, that looked brutal.
If i ever do pro-wrestling...im definitely using a steel chair. I would start off by being a diabolical HEEL...then turn FACE later.
What about a chair to the back
Chair to the back is the only way we prefer but don't recommend using the chair at all, rather get Creative with your pro wrestling art in the ring.
If the opponent is on the ground then don’t stand at their feet and swing the chair because you could hit the back of their head. Stand to their side and hit the middle of the back.
Non wrestling fans : wrestling is fake Wrestling fans :let me hit you with chair
Where’s your school located?
Bell Gardens, CA. USA
Man he really doesn't want people to use the chair. I agree with him don't use the chair
Honestly I had zero desire to use a steel chair on someone but now I kinda wanna try. Funny how our brains work 😂
All potential grapplers turned pro wrestlers eventually want to use a chair, bleed, and do thumbtacks. Not barbwire just thumbtacks. They usually break in not wanting to until they see some reactions their colleagues get.
Do you know of any schools in Oklahoma
I'll talk to Tyler Bateman who originates from Oklahoma. He would know best.
2:41 - 3:00
I was working on pile drivers a few weeks back and bout broke her neck.
Bro I swear I saw the thumbnail and thought it was Logic.

The old pillmanize the leg gimmick. Good one. I will put that on the list to make.
How to throw a chair and wrestling
I never seen joe so frustrated before when teaching
This is hilarious
I prefer the Stevie Richards method
U forgot to let the ppl know who is taking the hit to get there's hands around the area they're taking the hit to absorb the impact and still sell the hit!! Now if u can't see it coming, then that's a whole different situation...like he sed, there's no real sure proof way with the chair, but u can still minimize what u can on taking the blows if u r able to have some control...and don't forget to sell, sell, sell!!
They are also suppose to put their hands up
Makes sense. In the end, you are still getting hit on the head with a chair. There's no safe way to do it. It's like asking for a safe way to get shot. Yes, you can use a vest but it would still hurt and cause damage.
Wrestling banned chair shots to the head, they mostly use the chair shots to the back
Sean Spears should have watched this
I thought he is going to hit a person with that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Hulk Hogan has entered the chat*
Has anyone started training to become a professional wrestler using his videos?
