I didn't fight for seven years. What are you trying to accomplish? I don't, it makes you so weak. And then the hurt did us to other people. I mean, just two, one gets hurt, the other was just an idiot. If it doesn't make you mentally stronger or smarter, don't do it. All right, guys got bass here today. We are in Austin. Nice. Your hometown now, right? Weather's been weird everywhere lately, right? Yeah, it's, you believe in all that stuff? The, you know, the global warming, you know, because they say if you go 500 years back, there's the same wave the whole time is riding. So then, but they only take the last 100 years and I go, I don't know, man, it looks to me that we see that the water is getting less, right? The mountains, you know that there was water before. So yeah, it's a scary thing. Nobody does anything. I feel like humans are contributing cause they're just manipulating the weather now, you know? That is the scariest thing ever. Starting to play God. I think everything happens for a reason. You shouldn't be doing that. Yeah, I try not to mess with natural processes. Yeah, we always lose. Never works out. Never works out. Yeah, I'm big on nature though. I love the outdoors. Oh, it's everything. I truly believe that's why people say, I used to do nine one-on pull-ups. I was so freaking strong. And they go, what does it come from? I was spending, I had a horrible skin disease as a kid, right? So I got bullied a lot. So I spent a lot of time in the forest swinging tree top to tree top. And I was really good. Like I've spent four hours a day in the forest. Wow. Constantly swinging, swinging. I think that also earthing. I really believe in that. Yeah, grounding. Grounding. I think that combination I think helped me a lot. How long did you have the eczema for? Well, I still had it when I was fighting in Japan. I used to have little dots everywhere. But the worst would leave at I was 17. That's when I started to clear up. Wow. Yeah. It was in a diet change or how did you fix that? I think I grew out of it. Okay. I simply started to grow out of it. But yeah, before was not nice. I was the leper in school, right? That's what they called me. So my hands would literally burst if I would do this. So my mom every night said, momify me is what we called it. And the whole family would send in all batch sheets to rip them up for bandages. And then in the middle of the night, I had a tile next to my bed, which I would hit because I would prefer pain over itching than would drive in us. But eventually you scratch it off. You have to do it again, my mom. So yeah, she spent a lot of time with me. I've seen some things online where the skin conditions are sometimes a parasite thing. Have you seen that? Yeah. Do you think you might have had parasites? Maybe all the way to back. Yeah. But I'd like me to have animals. Normally that's caused from animals. But I had a person who just did, I vermacted because she felt really bad. She started also putting it on her face because now you have to buy the cream, right? Because it's hard to get the pills. So you simply go to a place for four horses and you take that because it's the same stuff. But you should see the pictures. You literally saw these little wormy things come out of the skin. Whoa. Yeah, that was really freaky. And then they make that. Yeah. And she for two weeks, she said, man, new person because the last six months she was super tired and somebody said, listen, you got dogs, you got the fruit, you know, there's probably parasites. Damn. And she started taking it two weeks. She's a new lady. Yeah. I used to love sushi. I just stopped eating it because I'm scared of parasites. Dude, you see these videos on Instagram, right? Where they very close up look at the piece of salmon and you see these little moving things in there. Yeah. I can't buy salmon anymore. Salmon, tuna. I used to go to the sushi buffet and eat, go hard. But. Oh, dude. It's scary. Yeah. Yeah. Mercury, all the crap that we don't need. Well, I took a blood test. My heavy metals were pretty high. So I was like, holy crap. Yeah, that's sushi for shonen fish. Yeah. It's scary because we think it's healthy, right? Well, the crazy thing is people in Japan are healthy. Yeah. So I think it's just where you're getting the fish from, right? Yeah. The quality. And it's real because in Japan, everybody smokes, everybody, you know, but somehow, I mean, they do way better with heart problems, all that other stuff. Yeah, they're all skinny over there, right? They say a lot of people think it's the seaweed also, right? That could be really good for you. But let's be a rule, never know. Yeah, who knows. Yeah. You ever fight in Japan? I fought my most by my career now. Oh, yeah? I fought three fights only in America. And the rest, I think, what is it? 28, 39 fights in Japan. Holy crap. Yeah. Wow, so you were there for a while. Yeah, I started September 21st, 1993. You weren't even there? Wasn't even born yet. No. So yeah, that was a crazy time. Did you like fighting over there or fighting here more? Like to do over there. There they leave you alone. Yeah, so during the fight, I pick up nervous things from people and anger and all that stuff, which I don't need for a fight. And in Japan, it's completely quiet. Like death, quiet. You do somebody sitting in the 30th row, and he speaks like me right now. I can understand what he says while I'm fighting in the ring. Wow. That's how quiet it is. And somebody gets hit, they go, all right, go up. And it's that vanquish again, nobody says a thing. And I think that made me, that made me the fighter. So whenever I was a kickboxer, a kickbox before, I was a very angry guy, everything in the first round, but not technical. Blasting and then just trying to annihilate your opponent. You were my Tyson. And it worked. Yeah, but Mike had technique. I had technique in training, but during the fight, I was too excited, maybe too nervous, you want to get it over with, you know? And thankfully I had a lot of power, but it gets a good guy. That would have been a problem for me because there's no way I could go five rounds like that, of course. So, and that completely changed in Japan. And all the staff about it because there was no way ins, which I thought it was weird. And then I found on the day of the fight, that my opponent walks up to me and I thought it was the promoter. And he was sitting the whole guy and I go, hey, you're the promoter. And he goes, no, I'm fighting with him. I said, oh, sure, wait. And it was like 33 parts heavier. Then the promoter walks up and I go, is he not too heavy? He says, no, no, everybody fights everybody. There's no weight classes. I go, great, great. But of course I'm bluffing now. And I go, how many rounds are we fighting? He says, one, I go, great. How many minutes? 30. I go, great. And I look at my manners and I go, dude, I didn't even know the rules actually. I just came in and that was it, man. I was 43 seconds later, I dropped from heart. Wow. And an instant, instant in Japan. It was the wildest thing ever. But during the fight, what I was talking about is like, this was the first time during the fight that I was completely in control. Like I was trained, when you're training and sparring, if you can fight like that under pressure, that's the goal. If you can do that, that's it. You're gonna be something. And that suddenly happened even more. I could listen to people, English speaking people, but they were saying, I go, what is going on? While I'm fighting, I'm thinking, what is going on? I was so in tune with everything. And I think it was the fact that the guy was heavier and a 30 minute round, I didn't wanna freaking unload. If I can't put him away, I got 28 and a half more minutes to go. So I think that all together with the audience, being quiet, completely chased me. It was like, boom, overnight, suddenly I was to fight it. I always wanted to be, was both. Yeah. 33 pound difference. That's a lot, man. Yeah. Yeah, that's, my last one was 265. That was actually in America and I was two left. And I think. Jeez. So yeah, but that's the gap. They need to do something with that gap. They need like a cruiser weight. You know, 205 to 265. Because those guys 265, they're not, they're 65 on the way, aren't they? They're probably 280 pounds. Right. You know, once they tune up again. So then size will matter. That's a 80 pound difference. That's about 80 pound difference. And nowadays everybody has technique. In the early days, I could get away with it. So these guys would run out of gas or, you know, maybe he's not good there. I'll bring him over there right now. Everybody's good everywhere. So now fighting a 265 pound beast. Yeah. The skill level being 210. It's a lot of difference. Yeah, skill level's gone a lot better, right? Oh yeah. I mean, looking at, and got all these guys, the way they move, they move like they get well to it. Yeah. Did you ever hear about Andrew Tate when you were fighting back kickboxing? No, no. I started learning about him more later. Oh wow. And he started coming, yeah. And he did so fine because I looked into it and he was a very decent kickboxer. Yeah. Yeah, he was a champ, right? Yeah, yeah. So. There's different leagues. Just definitely, there's so many leagues. Like for me, Holland, of course, we're fighting K1, which later on became Glory. That was us because we have the tallest people in the world in Holland. So that means we have a lot of natural heavyweights. And we just started going over there. We, I say, not me, but Peter, Ernst, Ernesto, Horst, Grommel, Deckers. I mean, these are guys, Semi-Shield, Alistair Overim, you know, all the monsters, Tyrone, Spong, who's actually going to fight now for Karate Combat, which is gonna be crazy because I think he's one of the best strikers on the planet. But they're all Dutch. They all came from Holland. Yeah. How'd you get involved with Karate Combat? Five years ago, they called me. They said, hey, we want to put karate on the map. We have a full contact karate league. Just with takedowns and these crazy rules. I already stopped them. I said, yeah, sign me up. Because I started with karate. All right, so now karate, then I did the Taekwondo, then I started kickboxing for kickboxing. I go to mixed-ball slots. So now to turn it back to karate, I come kind of full circle. So yeah, I would love to do that. The accommodate on that show, to stay in touch with all the new fighters. Doing good, man. It's a major out-of-dose. That's cool. Why do you think karate fighters struggle in the UFC? Well, it's because, well, George Sampiaz is a karate fighter. And the other option is a karate fighter. If you go in solely as a karate fighter, mixed-ball slots, you get loose. But if you go in also being a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and have some wrestling skills, you see now it's, so most of the time, somebody who comes solely from karate, and if he doesn't have any takedown defense, that's gonna be a problem, of course, because he's gonna take it down and he's gonna get submitted. So once he starts cross-training, I think the guys with the karate background actually do really well. The guys who always... Really? Yeah, their distance range is distant. Do you ever think about the risks you didn't take? Buying Bitcoin early, investing after 2008, loading up on NVIDIA. AI is changing jobs, markets are all over the place, nothing feels guaranteed, and at some point, you realize no one's gonna save you. We're kind of the FOMO generation, but here's one thing you don't wanna miss, protecting your future. If you're new to life insurance, you're not alone. Thankfully, I found select quote.

That there are blitz also, yeah, that's what they call it, there's this blitz that they should be propelled themselves forward, and it goes super fast. We always talk about this, we have Raphael Agayev, who's considered to be the goat. The guy's like 43, I think now. Five world titles, 11 European titles. I mean, the guy is the goat of Koran. And he had to fight Raymond Daniels. Raymond Daniels is a very freaking nature. I mean, he's a really great stakeholder, a huge fan. So if I had to bet a house, I had to put it on Raymond Daniels, but I got to beat him. Damn. Yeah, so that kind of put us on the map because people go like, okay, that's a karate guy who fought only two times full contact. Now he suddenly decides to fight full contact and then he beats a guy like that. You see, so I can't wait for the rematch because I have Raymond Daniels' mind works like a freak. And I know he's gonna find some things against it. So a rematch would be really cool so much. Hmm, who's your favorite fighter to watch right now? Oh, that's such a tough question, man. It's the, well, Aspenol, I mean, he starts really getting out there, but also I like the guys inside out good, clean. Yeah. You know, like I was a crazy guy, a lot of profanity at the time. And if I had to go back, I wouldn't do that anymore. But I like the guy who shows the family and the relationship he has with his father and he became a trainer for Maspenol, you know? And if you hear that story, it's such a badass story. And then you see him, you go, my God. You know, for that weight class to move like he does and knows everything, you know, yeah, I like fighters like that. I like fighters who are different, like the T.J. Diller shots, you know, the Dominic Cruzes, the people who flipping stances all over the place, but Gagey, I mean, once you start, you can't kind of stop. Pereira, gigantic fan. You know, Israel, I wanted him as the first big one on my podcast. I mean, I really want to dig into his mind how that works. Yeah. He's had a lot of up and downs too. Yeah, but the thing with him is what I like is, for instance, with Pereira, that he loses by knockout and then he comes back knocking him out. You see, and then that takes a special fight. And normally you see this only at K1, I always said. Most of the time in any other sport, boxing, whatever it is, you see a guy raiding, waning, killing everybody and suddenly gets knocked out. That could completely destroy his career. Then the losses start to come because now everybody knows, okay, he's not God, you know? We can, and somehow those K1 fighters don't have that. For instance, like a Pereira, you will get knocked out and then he goes on to that year to win the entire tournament which would end in December, which is three fights in one night against the strongest friction strikers on the planet. You know, like how are they possible to shake that off and simply go to the next fight? But that's it. That's exactly the answer when I said, simply go to the next fight. Because if it starts haunting you, you will get hit again. It's always the things that we don't want to hurt, will get hurt, right? That's Murphy's rule, it always goes wrong. So, but they found a way to stop it. That's great. Yeah, I love the mental side of fighting. I think that's a sport and it is self-reliant, the mental game. It's everything. That's what I love the most about messing with your opponent, saying little tiny things to make him angry. You know, so he does, he starts loading up his punches. I mean, he's telegraphing now. Like little tiny dicks, but very respectful. I always did. I never went out to family. You know, and then weird things like going to the fight and I let him wait for a minute and a half. He go minute and a half. It's not long ago. For a guy who's waiting in the ring, it's a very long time to wait for me to just start walking. I don't even walk. And the production is screaming at me the whole time. Yeah, I go now, I'm looking to go, I wait. I decide when I go. And I just want him to wait to get aggravated. And then walks very slowly to the ring. Now he's been waiting five minutes since the music started. He's getting agitated. Wow. You know, and that's those kind of things I really liked. And then the next fight I would run. Everybody's head above the man, that song started playing. I'm freaking running to the ring suddenly. So now if they prepared themselves, says, oh, it's probably gonna let me wait five minutes to get whoop, now I'm there. See, throw them off. Do something that they don't expect that they might start thinking about. And then during the fight, I was, I have my Dutch corner, which I never had a coach, right? Because I treat myself. And so I have my manager there. And I would talk English to my Dutch manager. Why would you think I would talk English to a Dutch manager? Because I want my guy to hear what I say. Ah. So I'm in the middle of the fight, I would stop and I look at him and there's a few bars, Gaspanic and Motown. There's two bars in Roppongi, which is to go without district in Japan. And I stop and I go, wanna go over Roppongi tonight or Gaspanic? He goes, wait a minute, I go Gaspanic sock last time. I'll get back to you. And then I continue fighting again. This guy is thinking, what is he doing? He's talking about partying tonight. You know, I just want him to have these little distractions to start clouding his mind. And hopefully I can capitalize on that. I love them. Wow, you didn't have a coach, you said? No, no, I taught the basics from Chris Dolman in Holland. I've been there 12 times, 15 times, that's it. My first year, I trained on a bag, two times a day on a bag. And then I found after my third loss by submission, I got really angry with myself because I go, dude, you're an idiot, you know, I need to learn African game. And then I stopped before I had a vocal and I found one guy, Leon, Leon van Dijk. Good guy, picked up things really fast, young, like 20 years at the time, a super strong, like bizarre. And we just started rolling two, three times a day. And then after my last loss by submission, I won my next eight fights by submission. Wow. People were like, whoa, I never lost a fight again. After I learned that, I didn't lose my last 22 matches just because I made a conscious decision to start learning the freaking game. But we are so comfortable as fighters in our own game. Like if I'm in striking and in class, I just beat everybody up and it's nice. It feels good, it's comfortable, comfortable. But the ground, if they catch me the whole time, I don't really want to do that. Well, I flipped that right away. I said, let's do only ground, let's do only striking on tightpads for stamina, not even sparring anymore. Because I know I can spar. Yeah, I mean, we've been doing this for such a long time. Let's focus on the ground. And that's where we started doing it. And then I became obsessed with it. I fell in love with it. And suddenly it clicked in the possibilities and the set ups and I go, my God, if I create different setups, that one that he doesn't know yet, you know, I can catch him and then I start making four different setups for every submission. And I became, I always say this in the interviews where people get maybe sick of it, but I will wake up my wife. I woke her up at least five, six times in the middle of the night because I would dream of submission. And I will put her in that submission. And I will say, your shoulder's hurting, right? Oh, your elbow, what is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, write it down. And then the next day I would do it in training. Wow. Yeah, I came up with moves. The barstroot and neck right, which is a body crunch. And I told them, I said, watch, I'm going to pull out the cool moves tonight. Four minutes in, I had a, you see me pointing to the corner. It's a stupid move, but creating things yourself and then actually winning a fight with it. That's cool. Yeah, let's feel rewarding. Yeah, so you were really creative with it. It's almost like you're like a writer, like you're creatively thinking of ways to fight people. Yeah, because I would go, the biggest, how do I say it? I would simply look at how would I escape? And if I escape a certain way, like for instance, an armor, straight armor, right? If I throw my body right now in the same line as his arm and he doesn't have control over my hand, I can hitchhike out, I can roll out, and probably I can put you in the knee bar and people over the knee bar, I'll let it 90% of the time after escape. But that's what I also like, escaping and right away going into a counter attack because then there's maybe not ready yet. But anyway, for the arm bars, because I say, oh, how would I arm bar somebody who fights like me? Because I need to control his head, I need to control his arm. So I start coming up with that hand control. And then in 2000 or 2001, around that time, I made my big DVDs of combat. I made a book, two big books, books of combat, fighting, instructional, and then the DVDs. And I got a phone call one day and it was BJ Penn. And I first thought they were messing with me because I never saw BJ before and I was a Jaggedy Fenn, M, a Jaggedy Fenn. So BJ, who's doing this? And he goes, no, for real, I go, oh dude, okay. So I recognize the voice, we start talking. He says, hey, I'm watching your instructionals. This is... Do you ever think about the risk you didn't take buying Bitcoin early and best thing after 2008, loading up on NVIDIA? AI is changing jobs, markets are all over the place, nothing feels guaranteed. And at some point you realize no one's gonna save you. We're kind of the FOMO generation, but here's one thing you don't wanna miss, protecting your future. If you're new to life insurance, you're not alone. Thankfully, I found select quote. For over 40 years, they've helped more than 2 million Americans understand their options and secure over $700 billion in coverage. As a broker, their mission is simple.

And you go, uh-oh, what? He goes, why did you learn that hand control? I go, I did that. He says, what do you mean? I said, well, I could escape if I don't do the hand control. He goes, dude, that is a very smart thing to do. And he says, but it could be one of the best instructions I've ever seen in my life. She says, I gotta go, I gotta run. I had to run for med-yume, I believe, at the time. I said, wait, wait, wait, wait. I said, can I use your quote? Because a quote like that from B.J. Penn, you see, but they say, a quote like that from B.J. Penn, you see, but then you know you're doing something right. And it was just me getting obsessed with it. And because I fell in love with it, I wanted to do it with the whole house with posters and combinations, the setups to an arm bar. If I create four different setups, sitting mount to go to an arm bar, you know, and you don't know one of them, that's probably the one that's gonna catch you. Now, if you're a really good fighter, I will never catch you again, but once is enough to win a fight. So that's how I always work. You were known for the liver shot, right? Yeah, body shots. It was my first time boxing class. I thought it was a badass karate guy. And then somebody dropped me, and he figured me out really fast because in karate, if you had, see, there was no strikes to the head. And he knew right away, as soon as he hit the head, of course, I've never been hit in the head. I, you over commit with the speed, bringing your hands up, exposing the body. And he was a type, a class A fighter already, which is pro. And I think the second to come, but I still already got me. And I'm on the ground, I never experienced this in my life. Who was that? And he explained that's the liver, and it's shot to the liver. So yeah, that's the liver shot. Actually, I coined that phrase. That's really cool because I saw on a showtime boxing, somebody said, oh, there was a liver shot. I like it. Wow, you made that phrase? Okay, yeah, I started with that, yeah. So that was kind of cool. But, you know, I, yes, I dropped a bunch of people with it, but if you want to see a really good one, what the code that you chae for right now, the lady. Yeah. Dude, gigantic fan I am. You watch her, IBC drops people with body shots. It's so well timed. She's really good. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, from Holland. I'm fee pop it to the name will pop up in a little bit. Nicky, Nicky Holske. Okay. Yeah, you watch this guy dropping people with body shots. He has way more body shots than I knock out. People don't know how much that shot hurts. It's a. Ryan Garcia lost his last fight to a liver shot, the boxer. Yeah. Yeah. Well, people were saying on social media, like, why would he stop fighting? But they don't realize how much. They have no idea about it. Like, like I said, I thought it was a tough guy. And there's nothing, just nothing you can do. They can literally just walk over to you and knock you out. Just as there's nothing you can do. That's why body shots. Most of the time it's against the person. Don't we like as a fighter? I go, well, I'm going to buddy shot her. Cause the knockout, they just wake up. Yeah. Right. The feel hurts more than a. Oh yeah. Much more. And then standing there, you know, with a little smirk. Yeah, that was. Yeah. Is it fun stuff? Is it possible to strengthen your core to absorb those body shots? Oh yeah. Of course. You know, you do that a lot. You know, I don't, didn't do a lot of apps, but I did a lot of standing from karate. Yeah. And letting yourself get kicked, kicked, kicked, kicked the whole time. No, that's, that's why I always say with fighters, aiming is so important. And you go, oh, I aim. No, you don't. A lot of fighters don't. On the main car, I see guys who don't still not aim. Like really aim. Because you can kick me just above my belt, like a roundhouse kick. I'll take it. Yeah. But you punch me solar plexus. And it's a whole different animal, you know. And then of course you get the liver here, which is also connected to all this. Which is the second biggest organ in the body. Yeah. Skin first and liver. So once you hit a body shot, you can just anywhere here, it's going to be okay. It's, he's going to feel it. So. Yeah. So everyone's got weak points on their body and you're trying to exploit those, right? And especially when you go later in the fight, they start breathing. The thing with breathing is, and I have, my second fight, I always mentioned this because I thought it was super cool. And I think it is super cool. So this is the first, I was very sick. They let me travel for eight hours on my, on the day of the fight. I was throwing up my manager had my luggage was carrying. I didn't want to fight, but I had to fight. So I'm fighting against me in our bar. I just want to tap. I want to get out of there. But then the audience started chanting for him. And my ego took over, I get out of the armor. But I didn't have a lot. I was really tired. And I'm standing in the clinch and suddenly I realized, whoop, but I see him breathe. And on the third inhale, I knee him. And he went down like I shot him with a freaking shotgun. Wow. Because you can do five, that's what I tell people all the time, five thousand sit-ups a day. If you breathe in when you're getting hit or kicked, that's it. Really? Yeah. Because you're not flexing. Wow. So go straight through. And then I start feeling, oh, wow. That was badass. But wait, how can I put this in fighting and like do it all the time on purpose? Yeah. And I found some of the spots that you can literally do that because people are breathing out when they strike and breathing in when they pull back. Okay. Well, with hands, it's going to be very hard to time because hands are fast, right? But that's literally why the reason you do, that's that reason. Because if I punch, I'm exposed. And the sound makes me flex. So you're ready for the impact. Wow. But then you breathe in after that, especially with big strikes, I go, yeah, okay, hands going to be hard. Wait a minute, what about kicks? Because if they kick, they exhale, and when they inhale while they pull back, well, so now my stance is that I have a very wide stance. I don't like the blade. It sheds down the whole left of my body. If I stand like this, like a Mike Tyson would fight, Parerra kind of fights like that. You know, there's more fights, 10 various square. Yes, you know, but target, but don't worry, you find better defenses for that. But now you got almost equal power on the left and right. So now when they give me a right kick, I can block. And while he pulls back, while he's breathing in, I go straight to the solar plexus. And if you really aim for the solar plexus, that points, this power, you'll drop. That's how effective that is. So yeah, people should do a lot. And then you have it again with kicks, right? A Charlie horse, right? We all did that as kids. Hurts. Well, imagine being a shin bone, full power. Okay, but why can't they take those kicks? Because they're flexing at the moment of impact. Well, how can I make him not flex? Okay, they found out, well, not me. We started doing this in Holland. When you push somebody, he's weightless. So if I push you a simultaneously kick, now I kick your muscle while it's relaxed. That, I mean, instead of dropping 10 low kicks, you maybe need one or two. That's the difference. So it's again, like my last fight with the guy for two and 65 pounds. There's one moment that I kick him in the shin with my shin. And there was no time. There was pure luck. So while I'm moving backwards, I give him a low kick and I literally felt my shin bone touches thigh bone. So I knew his muscle was relaxed. It was immediately, I go click, it felt, and I go, I won. It was the first thing I thought. And I started limping immediately. I gave him one more low kick and the fight was over. Wow. But that was because his muscle was relaxed. I literally felt every muscle in between the bones separate so it was bone on bone. Yeah. And it was not even a hard kick, but it's sort of a relaxed muscle. And that's why it works so well. I never realized how much the timing of the hit matters. It's everything. Wow. Everything. Yeah, you don't hear this. This is really interesting stuff. Yeah. Moving away, moving out of a punch, taking the steam out of it, you know, or being ready for impact. This is the one that you don't see coming. That's most of the time the one that's gonna knock you out, right? So it's all about the distraction. And I was very creative with that in striking. So I just applied that creativity to the grappling. Yeah. And then it worked. With the grappling, I tell this funny story because for people, bow hunters, I have a compound bow. Somebody gave it to me, a good friend of mine, Scott. But there's a 55 pound pull. Geez. And my arm, as you can see here, this old muscle is gonna have four neck surgeries so the nerves stopped working. So this arm is not strong enough. Holy. Literally, I went yesterday from 15 pounds to 17 and a half. And I was like, gigantic day for me. That's, I started with two pounds 14 years ago. So I only went to now 17 and a half pounds. That's how weak it is. But anyway, I'm standing at the place there. They just put new wires on the bow. So he says, okay, let me shoot. So I grab it, I go, shoot. He says, you know, there's only 55 pounds. I go, no, but I showed him my arm. He goes, my God, you can't shoot. And I go, I can't. Give me a second. And he goes, what do you mean? I said, give me a second. I'm not gonna think about it something. But that's from the submission I'm telling you. So I don't know if you know how a compound bow works. You got a little wrap around your arm. There's a little trigger on there. You connect that to the string and then you pull it open. That, so you don't have to pull with your fingers. You just pull with your wrist, that thing open. Well, the end result needs to be that I'm like this. So I said, okay, wait a minute. So I attach it to the string. I grabbed the back of my head with this hand and I pushed the bow away. Same result. So now I can shoot. So this guy's freaking out. He goes like, dude, can I film this? I mean, there's a lot of people who have that problem. I go, sure that nobody ever came up with it. I guess no submission fighters are Mohan. Well, Joe is Mohan, but he doesn't have that problem. All right, the problem in his arm. But I guarantee you every submission fighter will probably do the same thing right away because it doesn't matter. If I can stretch my arm out like this, I can't push it up. I can also lower my body. Same result. My arm will be stretched. So watch this, start thinking like that. And that's what I just applied to that bow. That's why it works. That's why I miss freaking crown fighting so much because I can't take the risk. I have four plates in my back. If I get a neck crank the wrong way, that's a big problem. Excuse. So yeah, but I miss it because like I said, it's endless. And now we do, combative with karate combat, we have also some submission fights. And we have the best guys in the world, right? Like really the top guys. Now it's already so big that Abu Dhabi Combat Club that's yearly was the best submission guy. They did it this year, the pit from karate combat. They licensed our pit because all the fighters love it. They can't roll out the bounce anymore. They stay in the pit. Now they can use also these walls. You've got 45 degree angle walls. They can use them to their advantage. We saw a submission guy crawling up that with his feet standing on the top and he jumped forward to the flying triangle. Oh my God. And he got him in an armor. That's crazy. Look that clip up. Flying armor karate combat. It will pop up right away. I did see that's what I like. That's nuts. Your commissioner also chokes someone out, right? Yeah. That's how I found out about you guys. He needed it. Yeah. Poor guy man. He always got some bad rep. He is, you will see the nicest person there is. Like I'm really have a really good time with him. His morals, everything is really good. But what he also has is the craziest club, you know, the Goat Chat in Miami. And there's a whole bunch of fighters there. But what people don't know, that's what I'm saying. This guy feeds him three meals a day. They sleep in the gym, some sleep under the cage. So they're like, they he takes care of everything for these fighters, you know, to become big. Do you ever think about the risk you didn't take? Buying Bitcoin early, and best thing after 2008, loading up on NVIDIA. AI is changing jobs. The markets are all over the place. Nothing feels guaranteed. And at some point you realize no one's coming to save you. We're kind of the FOMO generation. But here's one thing you don't want to miss. Protecting your future.

Or he hears that the fighter lost while he was there. He seemed to joke up. He is so invested in his fighters. You know, I wish that more people would understand what he really is doing because he's an awesome dude. That's cool. You said you had four neck surgeries? Four neck surgeries. And the last one I got my finger back. I couldn't pull the trigger. So I was learning, relearning everything with my left. So you were paralyzed? Pretty much, you know, it was so weak. And you get, you know what, like I said, I did nine one-on pull-ups. And going from that to suddenly grab a bottle and I do this, I go, what? I couldn't have the squeeze power to grab the bottle. Damn. I couldn't have thrown an uppercut with a 14-ounce glove because it's too heavy to push up. That's crazy. Yeah, people have no idea, you know. They go, how is it possible? Your nerves stop working. Yeah, but your nerves are for pain. No, that's the same. Your back breaks. If the nerves stop sending friccose signals to the legs, that's paralyzed. Yeah. So, yeah, that was annoying. But once I got my hand back, I go, all right, I've got, I'll stop complaining now. Thank you. Because that was a big thing for me to get my hand back. Yeah. Still snapping. I have to think about. Wow. Yeah, I have to really focus on that. Did you get stumps house? I did everything. I went around the freaking globe, you know, a ways too well right here. Those guys are, they're freaking amazing. That was the craziest story ever. So, Joe, we all put these people, I had this blood test done, was not a good blood test. I mean, this was high, this was high, this was low. It was, so they give you, you put your own routine. I couldn't get it in life insurance because of prior things that happened to you with pain pills and everything. I just went to this whole crazy roller coaster. Couldn't get a freaking insurance. So, I went over there, did the blood test, a lot of things were wrong. He says, okay, they make vitamins precisely for you. So, whatever your body needs, they make those put them in capsules, that's boss vitamins. I love it. You start taking those, four months later, I got life insurance, I got everything, like three months later, I think, everything was perfect. Holy crap. I mean, it's three months, they completely changed my... I need to do that. Yeah, no, they're really good. If you're here, you should. Waste, I've heard. Waste to waste to waste to well, yeah. They're very good at what they're doing. And they figured it out, man, because the blood test with them, it's extensive. Oh, yeah. You have pages, they look at everything. Damn. But they'll find it. That's cool, man. Yeah, blood tests, I highly recommend people get those. I get one a year. Yeah, it's very important. And they automatically do it every six months we do it there. Yeah, I had vitamin C deficiency. My testosterone was low. I had to fix all that. Yeah. That really affects you. It affects on everything. I have a money of mine who works out two, three times a day, super hard, an old oil guy. And then he did a personal stroke, he was 130. Holy crap. And the doctor said, you work out, you know, Mal, I give you a better story in a few seconds. But anyway, I said, dude, you're gonna feel so crazy. Because once they give that shot, you're gonna feel, because once I took the first one, I go, okay, this is, now I know why everybody has the little yard too. So I had a pain pill addiction, right? That happened after my last fight. Because I thought all the inches were gone. I didn't fight for seven years. So then they asked me if I could fight one more fight. Offered me $225,000, which for me at the time was the highest pay I ever had. Wow, it's way more, but at the time it was good. It was in that 2006. So I started training, took the fight, but I needed to start coming back. All the years started coming back. So eventually I started taking pape pills also for a wonderful fight. Everything was okay, but after the fight I knew I could never fight anymore. And now the pain pill started. And it went harder. Thankfully very soon I figured out, okay, this is gonna go wrong because my doctor said your liver is freaking insane. It finds ways to break it down really fast. And that's, it's probably because I've been so medicated when I was a kid. So it's always been working hard with my eczema and my asthma and all that stuff. So I had to take more and more and more. I go, I gotta stop this. You know, once you go to oxycomptom because they think the title's too hard on your stomach. That's when you go down. Stop. So what they do, I need to stop suboxone. Suboxone's like methadone that they use for, for, for desert. What is heroin to come off with that? And this for pape pills, which is kind of synthetic heroin. Right. It's exactly the same. They take the suboxone. Now suboxone you don't have to take more. So you keep taking it. And they don't tell you to take all of it. They shouldn't told you that. But they didn't. So for three and a half years I'm doing that crap. And everybody was listening. If you do some oxygen and you feel like crap, please do this. My buddy just got out of the swell. He says, new life. So I went over there to do the blood test. And the one guy, he looks at me and he looks at the doctor and he goes, what? And he shelves it over and he go, how do you get out of bed? I go, it's hot. I said, but I drink a bunch of coffee and then I come out. He says, boss, your test at all levels five. I go, 500. 500, he goes. Five. One. A woman at 70 or 80. We've never seen anything like this. Five. That was insane. Yeah. I mean, I've been crazy of people when you know, when you say with fighting, when fighting in women's sports, at my gym, I was still beating up all the professional fighters at 42 years of age with a testosterone level of five. Oh my God. So how is that possible? Right? So yeah, that was crazy. And then like I said, then I got the first shot. It was like, wow. Like you're 21 again, insanity. I think to me that just proves your mental game is so amazing. It overpowered your physical game, you know? Yeah. I think that all started when I was a kid, right? I mean, every five weeks, I was a week in bed with an Espartec not able to eat, even because it couldn't breathe. So going to the restroom, all that was fun for them. That was a hour and a half organization to make that happen. And I think if you do that a lot, right? You have to go through it, whatever happens. I think that was really good for me, for my programming for later in life. Because it's really easy for me to push very hard in fighting and training and I just, because I did it, I had to, I was forced to do it. Now it's my own choice. Why not? Can I do it? You see? Always talk to yourself and how you can increase it. It's a lot you can do. Yeah, because a lot of people train really hard, but for you that was probably easy. It was easy. But again, you know, with my asthma, for instance, I was afraid to get tired because of the asthma. I knew that was in my head. So I had to flip it around and I just brainwashed myself. I literally started screaming that I love getting tired. Every time when I was tired, I want to be more tired. I want to be more tired. Oh, I love this. I loved it. I just kept doing it for weeks. And suddenly three, four weeks in, I had to, now I needed it. So then training became berserk for me. I had to actually start slowing down because otherwise you're over-trained. You know, but it worked, you know, it takes some time. And I said, I mean, listen, if I can do it with my ADD mind, I mean, everybody should be able to do this. It's just doing it, but you have to do it. And don't expect the result of the week or two weeks. Just freaking keep doing it. And you'll be amazed how your body reacts to your mind. And then certainly you enjoy it. Now that's a big, big breather for you because a lot of fighters don't like to go really tired. Well, now I want to get really tired. That's a good problem to have. Did you get the Osmo under control? Yeah, you know, that's the thing. I carried an inhaler with me till 2012. And that's actually, so everywhere I go, if I want to work out, I work out for 30 seconds, my lungs close, a lot of people have this exercise and do a chest pain or when you sneeze very violently, your lungs close, you have to spray it over. So always carry an inhaler. Then I started working on a thing that was originally named Rutanizer. There's now the O2Train, it's a respiratory muscle training device that I finally made and I started training with the prototype. Three and a half weeks in, my asthma was gone. Wow. I'm freaking out. I go, it's gotta be this freaking thing. So I sent it to my buddy in Holland who has asthma and I didn't say, I said, just use it. I want to see something, I want to figure it out. I said, but every day calls me eight days later, goes, dude, my asthma is gone. I go, no freaking way. Okay, see that's what I mean. He's selling him in Europe right now. But that's when it, I started, oh, okay, I got to really make this thing. And I didn't invent it. It's called an inspiratory muscle trainer, you know, which has been around for, I mean, there's over 2,000 published medical journals about inspiratory muscle training. Every endurance athlete on the Olympics is doing inspiratory muscle training because people don't realize how breathing, how important that is for you. You have no idea. And then if you also know that 95% of us breathe, it's wrong. So meaning, if I tell you to take a deep breath, take a deep breath, you see a raise your shoulders. That's a hundred percent wrong. 30 to 60 of these breaths, it's the same as one day from every breath. Same amount. Think about it, even if you don't go for the lowest number. So what happens is we all breathe perfect, they're about five and a half years of age. And that's where we go to school, start sitting down. That's where you go to the doctor, put the stem scope here, take a, listen to your lungs. She looks at it here. Your lungs are freaking here, you know, they drop all the way down. You know, she's like, oh, this is from a long shot. And then she start breathing through your belly. But if I breathe through my belly, maybe, you know, that girl that really likes me thinks I'm fat, you know, so kids start adapting their breathing and it all becomes bad. And it's literally, you can Google this, how many, what percentage of the population breathe incorrect? It's 95%. So once you start with an inspiratory muscle training, you cannot pull that air in through a tiny resistance hole. I'll go in really fast. So then you haven't understood how it works. You know what, I said, I brought it, I'll let you see. This will change your life, Charlie. Sorry, using that, because I play basketball. It's five days a week. Okay, I got to use force now. They don't like the sticker. Okay. So it's very simple device. This side closes, it's just a flap on it. So if I inhale this side closes, forces you to breathe into this side. This comes with all different sizes holes. So everybody wants to go to a really hard setting, don't do that, make it good setting. So anyway, if you breathe through your chest and you go to the tiny holes, like I'm at number two, that's two millimeter, I cannot pull the air in by raising my chest. I'm going to be forced to do it at my core. Once you start changing that, you're breathing dramatically, but not only that, because I always break it down in steps. Like for instance, how does your stamina increase? In cardio, right? Cardio, or why? Because if you think about it, you go, okay, I do a lot of cardio, but so why is it increasing? You know, I work really hard. Does the body get used to it? Well, what it is, is that if you work out the muscle over and over again, it becomes more efficient at its job. So now, what happens when you're gassing? That's when I was mixing up. Gassing, metamorphlex, that's what they call it. Imagine you're running a hill, I always use the same example, because it's a very basic understanding and suddenly it feels like you've been hit and you start getting real, real problems. That's your second wind hits it, the metamorphlex. Well, doesn't it then? Gassing happens. What is gassing? Gassing is literally your body redirecting blood, oxygenated blood, from whatever you are using at that moment, and it sends it to the number one priority in your body, which is your breathing muscles. You have 11 pounds of breathing muscles, because if you don't breathe, you die. So that's why it takes away. So if you're working out with your hands, it takes all the blood flow away, blood stealing. That's literally the medical term that you can find in papers. So I go, okay, wait a minute, but you just said if I work out those muscles, they become more efficient. Okay, why don't I work out those 11 pounds of breathing muscles? So they become more efficient at its job. Those that have to steal the blood anymore, from all the other things that I'm using during the fight. Whoa, that would be smart. Yeah, that's why I said, every Olympian that does that, they're just doing it. And what it does is it increases your breathing. Like breathing, people have no idea how breathing works. So you know, you- Do you ever think about the risk you didn't take buying Bitcoin early, investing after 2008, loading up on NVIDIA? AI is changing jobs, markets are all over the place, nothing feels guaranteed, and at some point you realize no one's here. I'm gonna save you. We're kind of the FOMO generation, but here's one thing you don't wanna miss, protecting your future. If you're new to life insurance, you're not alone.

The way for your lungs to open up is literally to expand your chest. That chest expansion creates a vacuum, but to your body, it looks like that's vacuum. That opens up your lungs. So this is a mind-blower. So your chest doesn't expand because you put air in it. Your chest expands, and that is how you pull the air in. Wow. It's bizarre. And the chest expansion is done by your diaphragm. It's the biggest mover for air. And then you intercostals the muscle between your ribs. So the diaphragm is like a thin dome-shaped muscle tendon, like a ball cap almost. It's attached to the bottom of your rib cage here. And what it does, it drops down every time. And from that angle, nothing happens. But from this angle, you see what it does in the body. It expands in the body. So as soon as it drops down, it expands that whole chest. Therefore, you get to maximum chest expansion, and that's how you fill up your lungs with air. And once you start breathing diaphragmatically and give it six weeks, people, oh my God, everybody says, I've been doing it for a week. It doesn't work. They try to retrain their whole breathing that they did for their entire life in five days. Don't do that. Two, six weeks. It's four minutes a day. It's not even, not even have to schedule something for it. If you work out normally, do it just before you work out. And that's it. And then watch it dramatically increase everything and increase life because we all know the more air, the better you feel. Yeah. Yeah, I know how bad mouth breathing is for your air. Oh, also that, yeah. That's on top of the already chest breathing. They do the mouth breathing. Yeah, the sleep tape is really popular now. People sleep with the tape on their mouth. Yeah, I'm a little worried about that one. But a lot of people do that, yeah. I would do a chin strap or something, so that it keeps closed so you don't open up and then you don't start storing. But also, go to the website, ototrader.com, click on science. You have all dropped out menu with published medical journals. And you'll, I mean, balance, balance. Cystic fibrosis, asthma, COPD. The things it does, getting you more calm, it's just a list that keeps on coming. And you go like, I had no idea when I came up with this thing that it was gonna do all that. But yeah. Yeah, we'll put the link in the video. Yeah, you like it. And I brought this so you should start doing it. Okay. And it looks, I look at people, they say, this is it? I go, yes, you can throw it against, well, you never have to buy a new one because you can drive for the car over it and it will still be working. I know what it looks like. But trust me, it dramatically enhances everything. A lot of that, can't wait to try it. You still getting in bar fights, man? No, I tried some void toes. Yeah. No, the last one I had was, no, it was not a fight. He realized, I think I wanted it to much, almost guys speeding in our streets. Did he know who you are? No, no, no, no, no, he's getting very rude. I'm just asked because three dogs died last year because of speeding. I just turned down and hit separation. You want to dance, old man? I go, yes, please. And he looks at me with a puzzled look on his face like, why is this guy laughing? And he drives off and he says, oh, you got no balls. I go, says the one who's driving away. So now he stops and gets out of his car. And he comes to me, but I start laughing while I'm walking towards him. And then my daughter, because this happens in front of my house, she's a hundred pounds, she comes out, man, and she's to the guy, she's like, yeah, laughing, you're moving, you're going asshole. And he's like, look in, I go, this family is the same. And he goes, honey, he goes, yeah, you couldn't beat him up, you can't do that. She saved that guy's life, honestly. It was funny, sorry. She was doing that guy a favor. Yeah, she really was. And now with him, because she said he lives in a neighborhood, but of course the word gets out, you know, really fast in a town like that. So he probably knows now. Yeah, you said you used to struggle with anger, right? Yeah. You know, if you've been bullied your entire life, you know, and constantly words, like, when I made a sources short list, only four or five guys on it that really bullied me and I needed to get back. And because by anger, I had to do it. And one was literally with the son, she said, mother, I don't even remember what I said. I go, I do. Bonk knocks him out, thinking back on that, I was, I should have said, you know what, right? But the anger that you build up over all this, like sticks and stuff will break your bones, but words never hurt, whatever that's saying. The dumbest thing is the other way around. I think words are way more aggressive, forgets to hear constantly that you're down or you're good to your leper or this, you know, it's a, hey, watch out, your hands don't fall off, ears don't fall off. You know, okay, if you keep hearing that, you start building up a lot of anger. No, 100%. And if you can focus that into something that you really want to do. Because look at all the mental health issues now, it's because of cyber bullying, social media. Yeah. So words definitely affect people way more. But, and also think about the person you need to be. Think about the loser that has to make a fake account. And look at yourself at night when you're brushing your teeth and what do you see? I don't understand people. I go, oh yeah, I'm a badass. I had a fake account and that's the only way I can attack people because I'm too afraid to do this. But really, I go, what are you trying to accomplish? I don't, it makes you so weak. And then the hurt that does to other people. I mean, just two, one gets hurt, the other was just an idiot. Just somebody who's very insecure and doesn't have that need to go home. It's a lose-lose situation, right? Yeah. No one's winning out of that. No, it's really sad. And then, you see kids like that suddenly do something really crazy. That's my school shootings and stuff like that. That is years of bullying. I was, it was a moment, I wasn't a playground I think I was 11 years old. And I think I saw a Starzhan movie with me in the trees all that, this kid started with me messing with my trees. And I grabbed the branch and I went to swing and stomped him in the chest. But the branch broke, I followed the pilot and all these kids are laughing at me. These are the bullies. And I'm running home. We lived a quarter mile and I, kitchen knife, I started running back. Holy crap. And my mother, thankfully, she saw me sprinting to the front window, she started going after me. She got the knife away from me. Until this day, I think I would have stabbed. I was so insane. It was completely different. Wow. So of course I condoned it 100%. But I can understand it. If it's been going on for a long, freaking time, you know, watch out. And I always tell the bullies when I do these talks at schools, I go, watch out guys. There's other guys like me. They will start fighting and they'll make a list of you. And they will come, you know? So, and that's it. This course in effect, it's very simple. That's what, you get something, you need to be punished. And that always works somehow. Sending me in a quarter, think about what they were doing. It's not gonna really work. Yeah. So it's hard to have personal growth when you're a bully. I see these bullies, they just stay in the same town they were born in, you know? Yep. Like they never leave. It's, that's the biggest comeback. That's what I always said, you know, all the ones that I have from all of them, well, yeah, they're all, they're nothing, they're nothing. Never increase the job, never. It's almost like there's no willpower to become something better. That's why I go after other people. I don't know how a mind like that works, but because I was bullied very against it, of course. Yeah. I was the fitness guru and the bully, anti-bullying expert for Cartoon Network for a long time. I did that as well because it's, yeah, it's very close to me. Crazy part is they're getting bullied too by their parents usually. Yeah. So that's an ambitious cycle, you know? Yep. That's exactly how it goes. As some of them, they can break from it. We're very close with family. We have the same situation like that, you know? And it goes like, wow. But one says, nah, that's not for me. And she's thriving. And the other one, they stayed in that, you know? It's kind of the parent's fault. Yeah. And that's a shame. We were talking about it yesterday at my door. I mean, you know, this one, a friend of mine, he said, was married, and then I had sex for five years or something. I go, dude, but, and it's never gonna change. You know, I got divorced. And I said, well, no, I said, wait four years. Why do you see yourself? Because all that I'm divorced, I said, do it tomorrow. So what do you mean? I said, because you're lying to yourself, you're lying to your wife, for kids, it's not good. I mean, she's drinking cold, the police hitting the kids. I'm gonna kill you. I mean, insanity at home, you know? I said, what's gonna happen? The kids gonna see you guys constantly do this. They gonna find the same kind of partners. Right. Because that's the problem, you know? It's gonna be okay for somebody. No, there needs to be respect for both sides. And he's still with her. And that was 25 years ago. So, You still, No sex for 30 years? We got one freak, imagine that. I go, I'm out. I mean, you know, 30 years? Nah, nah. Yeah, it's a shame. There's a lot of sexless marriages right now. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot. It's really interesting. It's really, it's a really weird time. Like when I say I'm 33 years old, my wife. So, and they got my house, I said, it's just, you know, you go through the rocks and up and down. And there's always like that. But then you start figuring each other out. Then talking. Talking, try not to ratio for us. Leave the emotions out. Say, you know, let's stop now. You want to go five minutes again? Because we can't do this. Because then it starts escalating. Or why should you just talk? I think that's everything. And now after such a while, yeah, our kids don't even hear us having words. Or you know, never. Nice. Never. So everything is good. Again, I would always say, yeah, but ever I do, you can, everybody can do it. Just a little bit of effort. But people, they want things too easy nowadays. They want it quick, right? Come forth. I think it's social media. They want everything instant. That's the biggest problem we have right now. You know, what was it? 93% the 17 year old average 18 year old right now spends 93% of his free time online. Wow. There's this great video in where a guy put dots on the screen and then he says, these are your months of living if you're going to turn 90 years old. So that's the high age, okay? These are the months you have. And everybody looks at it and goes, that's not a lot if you think about this entire life. She says, well, too bad for you. One thing was going to be taken off right away, sleeping. And then food and this and that. And then suddenly there's like 300 of these little balloons like 300 months out of your year. And then he says, an average 18 year old spends 93% online for his free time. If he is 90 years old, he looks back on his life. He go like, what did I waste? You know, pick 30 minutes. People want to learn a new language. Imagine you pick 30 minutes a day for Spanish. Let's say you don't know Spanish after this, but I think when it's six months you speak it. 30 minutes a day is a lot. So if you really focus, that's just 30 minutes. But if you're eight hours scrolling and learning nothing, I mean, there's nothing that you do. If I always say, if it doesn't make you mentally stronger or smarter, don't do it. Why would you need to do it? Before every action you make, you can think that. And that's that. I'll put a timer on it. I can understand it because I'm sleeping all over. It's funny, you know, it goes really fast. But if you find out that those guys who came up at the end of scrolling, they hate themselves. They thought they're the devil. Because they are away from the company. It's stolen focus from the old Hari in that book. And these people, they think the Satan, that's how bad it was. And their kids are not allowed to be on the phone. They all have to be in sports. I mean, they know exactly what it's doing to us. Totally crap. Completely messes us up. That's nuts. Yep. That's where people find you and keep up with what you got going on, man. You know, I'm the worst social media guy. I've posted on there, you know, I do this. I think it's so weird, you know, so promoting products and funny things I put on. Boss Routen MMA on Twitter and on, or X on Instagram and Facebook. So YouTube have fun videos. That's official Boss Routen. And then Facebook is just Boss Routen. But like I said, if you DM me or whatever, I probably don't react because I'm never there because it's so much. I go once I dive into that thing, I'm going to be crazy busy. I like my free time. I want to learn something. There we go. You see? So I'm the same way. Well, we'll link the product as well in the video. Perfect. Yeah. Thanks for coming on, man. Thanks for watching, guys. We'll see you next time. Cool.
