Bully Beatdown – MTV’s Mixed Martial Arts Teaching Show

Aug 17, 2011

Growing up as a small child in Ketchikan, Alaska, there is not much to do. So one of many favorite things for individuals to do (especially should you’re larger) is to pick on the little man for entertainment. Now it may possibly come from household, associates, and at school. I certain went by all the above, I used to be in all probability about 100 lbs soaking wet, and graduated at a paltry a hundred and ten lbs (if I was fortunate). So I received the bullying from everywhere. Dwelling, faculty, work, you name it, the bully found me. So I grew up with an appreciation for what it means to be a bullying victim. Bully Beatdown is the last word present for ex nerds like myself. This is how it works, the bully is offered 10 Gs to simply accept a combat with an MMA professional. They get a possible $5,000 for surviving the 1st spherical and $1,000 less for each time they get submitted (grappling only). Then they get $5,000 for surviving the 2nd spherical (kickboxing solely), they get nothing within the 2nd if they can’t survive it. (I’ve yet to see a bully survive the 2nd round). All the money that the bully loses goes to the victim(s) of the bully. Sounds awesome right? But, I do know what you’re pondering, I perceive how this works, but what does this show teach me about fighting/the best way to take care of bullies. You must look deep into the present to grasp, and look underneath the feet and fists that are thrown. Let me explain. Here is what you can be taught from Bully Beatdown. 1. Somewhat training goes a good distance, not one of the fights I’ve seen have had excessive technical talent involved past beginning stuff, besides Michael Westbrook does a submission combo in his fight with the bully, but does not do it once more in the episode as a result of he didn’t have to. Your fundamental bully has zero preventing skill and might be overwhelmed by someone who knows what they are doing. Even straight boxing will give you an edge on a bully, if you know how to slide and counter effectively (even towards a giant man, in case your timing is down pat). And if you understand about Frank Shamrock’s button principle, you can even do better in a battle in opposition to a bigger opponent. So get some technical preventing ability like: boxing, grappling (BJJ, or submission wrestling), and in addition kickboxing. Do this and you’ll make a bully sorry he messed with you. The other thing to notice is that intimidation is a serious a part of profitable a fight; you barely must throw a punch when you’ve got the edge in intimidation. That is how it works for the bullies, half the time, in case you wore your gyms affiliation shirt, you’d in all probability intimidate the bully into not attacking. You’d capable of keep away from the struggle by moving into their head before they thought of the probabilities of winning. Even the truth that they may lose would be a deterrent, because bullies love easy marks and also you, at this point would not appear such an obvious mark. What are you able to learn from Bully Beatdown? A whole lot and you will get hidden suggestions from it about tips on how to fight and methods to win fights earlier than they begin. Remember to: wear your college affiliation shirt, and to really learn something. You’ll be bodily fitter, have extra self esteem, and you’ll truly be capable to put down a bully when you’ve got to.
