Edit: My comment was angry and unproductive.
Let me rephrase: Comrades, please for the love of God don’t fall for scams like this. If you want to learn self defense it’s going to take a lot of practice against actual opponents. Go do kickboxing, BJJ, Karate, anything that actually has you practice it against others. Do not fall for hucksters like the man in the video. There are no shortcuts or secret moves that’ll make you a badass. Like anything else in life you need to put a lot of time and (live) practice in order to get good.
Make no mistake I don’t see this as some secret trick to becoming an invincible badass or anything like that. It was a video a friend shared with me because they thought I’d find it funny and interesting, and I did.
At the same time, as crazy and unhinged the guy featured in the video is, I feel like this is an uncharitable way of viewing it. I dunno, I just had a different takeaway from the video, considering some of the points that were brought up by the video creator.
But you know I’m just a head-empty dumbass on the internet, so what do I know? And I don’t really feel like arguing about this either.
I know a lot of people IRL (including myself) that was roped into a Bullshido scam before. They will take your money and give you terrible advice that could potentially get you killed. I’m just trying to look out for the comrades and warn people of this scam. While giving them real alternatives to self defense. 👍 This isn’t criticism towards you, it’s criticism towards the whole Bullshido industry this video promotes.
You might want to actually watch the video before opining (
), the entire video is about whether it’s bullshido or legit. The presenter isn’t completely convinced, but the whole giving away the instructions for free, being involved in multiple legal killings in self defence, and being adopted by various Chinese security and military forces definitely gives it actual credence.I did, 3 random articles in a language I can’t read flashing across the screen isn’t exactly hard evidence of this working. IDF trains in Krav Maga, Spetznaz train in Systema, this does not change the fact these are woo-woo bullshit fake MA.
You need to be able to practice on live opponents. You can’t practice these things on live opponents. If you can’t practice you can’t use it in a critical situation. There’s nothing special about dirty fighting, someone who does real MA can do it better because of the live experience. This guy is selling you nonsense that’ll get you killed. Go ahead and try out his open scissor punch technique on a log, you’re going to break your hand doing that.
I have a right to speak because I’ve done both real MA and scam shit this guy’s selling. One works one doesn’t. If people don’t want to believe me that’s cool. Go ahead and chop down the forest with your badass scissor punches. If you try that against anyone with any experience at all you’re going to get hospitalized.
3 random articles in a language I can’t read flashing across the screen isn’t exactly hard evidence of this working.
I’m gonna be real with you man, holding up your illiteracy as a shield is a bad look even before we get to how chauvinistic it is. That isn’t investigation.
You need to be able to practice on live opponents.

Are you even listening to yourself
Go ahead and chop down the forest with your badass scissor punches.
Yeah, I definitely don’t believe you watched the video because that’s very literally the opposite of what he’s selling. The entire point is that it cuts out the spiritual woo woo and magic techniques and jumps straight to pragmatic solutions like stabbing an assailant with whatever’s closest to hand. You don’t need to be able to cut down a tree to kick someone in the balls.
I’m not saying this guy is some legit martial arts mastermind, he’s obviously pretty traumatised by his childhood bullying, but I’ve also done plenty of “real” MA and this does cover the bits that were actually relevant to practical self defence - cardio is king, don’t use your fists if you have a weapon, keep moving and attacking to keep a group back, make lots of noise. The few times I’ve ended up in a real fight there sure hasn’t been any art, but there’s been plenty of martial, and that’s what he’s offering.
Even if you take the THREE use cases at face value (which I don’t) that is not a large enough sample size to be legitimate. Yet I’m the illiterate one here.
Nothing you or anyone else (including the video) has said have addressed the ‘no live contact’ problem. You can’t learn anything without practice and experience. You can’t learn the piano by not playing the piano. You can’t learn to paint without actually painting. You can’t be a communist without study and practice. You can’t fight people without fighting people. Do you understand? MA is not an exception to this rule! Practicing on a log like the guy in the video is not a live opponent. Not sure if you’re aware of this but logs can’t fight back.
Any dumbass can use weapons/dick kicks. There is nothing novel at all about this, it isn’t the cheat code you think it is. A real martial artist isn’t just going to throw a knife away lol. I’d also bet the guy who kicks REAL opponents (aka not logs) for a living will be better at dick kicks.
He never said anything about cardio, he said nothing about movement, and noise is irrelevant. Did you watch the video?
Now all I want to do is promote REAL self defense for comrades, because I don’t want them to get their ass beat. You and a couple others seem pretty upset about that and decided to take personal shots at me instead of rebutting my critiques. Sounds like a personal issue you should investigate.
Really the only two people who fall for this crap are the most gullible people on the planet who are looking for a quick solution that doesn’t exist, and actual children. I’ve said what’s needed to be said on the subject. I don’t have time to argue with fools and children.
Yet I’m the illiterate one here.
I’m not the one who said you can’t read Chinese. And while 3 isn’t conclusive proof, nobody is claiming it is - it’s just evidence.
You can’t fight people without fighting people. Do you understand? MA is not an exception to this rule
Sorry, do you think the choreographed practice and play sparring of martial arts is real fighting? It’s good exercise, but it’s to a real fight as DDR is to dancing. Like you’re welcome to try your stealthy John wick takedowns but when I’ve been attacked I’ve screamed bloody murder, like my MA instructors told me to do if I need to actually defend myself.
Did you watch the video?
Did you? Not listen, but actually watch what the trainees were doing?
Now all I want to do is promote REAL self defense for comrades, because I don’t want them to get their ass beat.
Real self defense will teach you most of the same stuff, just without the emphasis on acting like a cornered animal. Martial arts are great workouts, and that strength and endurance training definitely helps in a fight, but they’re exhibition sports so every martial arts instructor will tell you that it’s an absolute last resort for self defence and in a real fight even an improvised weapon is better than being unarmed. For REAL self defence carry whatever’s legal in your country to use as a weapon, go for the sensitive bits, and make lots of noise, like he says.
You and a couple others seem pretty upset about that and decided to take personal shots at me instead of rebutting my critiques. Sounds like a personal issue you should investigate.
Nobody has taken any personal shots at you, you’re just mad because your critiques are recieving reasoned rebuttals that actually analyse the material instead of giving a knee jerk dismissal. It sure looks weird and stupid, but it also has something there that seems to be working in its favour, so we’re discussing why that is instead of giving what you feel is appropriate reverence to traditional martial arts. You, on the other hand, have spent your time bragging about your ignorance and calling us fools and children for arguing back while insisting you’re above it all. Obviously you have time to argue, or you wouldn’t be doing it.
