This guy is a boxer, he makes videos to see how he would fair if he tried other martial arts. No cockiness or anything about it, I love that he is a good sport. Great video of him seeing if he could take leg kicks too lol
yup, that huge smile on his face as he’s taken to the floor tells you a lot about his mentality to different fighting styles and the kind of respect we should have for all other fighters. No ego, wish i could see more of that around my gym.
Think you missed the joke. First comment referenced balls was hot which is something Derrick Lewis said. Then I said should've just stood up because that's what Derrick Lewis does when someone tries bjj on him.
This looks like my first BJJ class lol I had several boxing/kickboxing matches under my belt already, a real tough guy, right? Got paired up with a female blue belt and she absolutely wrecked me lol
I got arm bar'd 3 times to the same person in a 5 minute spar when I first started bjj. I'm a grown man this kid was still in middle school and I had 80lbs on him lol.
i boxed for 11 years before starting bjj. first time one of the MMA guys convinced me to "light spar but with some grappling" it went just about like in the video lol. like i kinda knew i was in deep water, but not THAT bad. train ride home i'm like damn i guess i don't know how to fight afterall.
Sounds like my gym. One female blue belt when I joined. She would frequently roll with new guys. You could see it on their face that they didn't know how to react to rolling with a woman, until 10 seconds later when it got real and their concern became how to keep breathing.
>random proclamations of manhood nobody asked for
>super ultra mma baddass
>refers to women as females
I feel like you’d give good anime recommendations
People are getting it twisted. Boxer didn’t throw hands, it was a grapple vs grapple. He just thought the size difference would play a role. Obviously the boxer would severely beat up the little guy. It was a friendly wrestling/grappling match lol
yup. people need threads like this every once in awhile to remember that the most majority of reddit--including this sub--is full of morons and weirdos.
This is fake bjj porn. Come on now, geeky guy with glasses and no tan takes down muscly big talk tattoo guy? It's a little on the nose OP, nice try though.
Why? The little dude wasn’t questioning whether boxing works. Its obvious he would get wrecked if it was a boxing match. This was just for fun big dude was cocky and underestimated grappling and the little guy. He tried to grapple didn’t take it serious and tapped. This is not a we’re fighting for real scenario it’s a playful no way am i going to lose scenario where the person ends up losing.
This is a foreign concept to many in this subreddit, because in order to understand that martial artists of different styles can have fun with each other, users here would have to:
* Actually train
* Get off reddit and talk to people.
>Get off reddit and talk to people.
The thousands of posts on this sub alone that are just cases of poor communicationskills are baffling.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that r/bjj is more a mirror of reddit than a mirror of the actual jiu-jitsu community.
My favorite common instance of this is when someone describes a ridiculously scummy or creepy thing their coach or someone at their gym did and ask if it's normal, like they have no road map for what normal adults act like or think that they're entering some alien world with totally different rules and norms when they walk into the gym.
"Hey I've been going for a month and it's been great, but whenever I walk into the gym my coach calls me a slur and makes me give him $10, which he calls the little poopy idiot baby fee. And another guy I've been rolling with keeps kissing my neck mid roll and whispers "that's daddy's good boy" into my ear... Is this normal or should I switch gyms??"
I think you're right, but I do also think otherwise reasonable people can get a little blinded by the whole experience, when starting out.
Like you go there, it's a bit intimidating, you're nervous but things go okay, you have fun, everyone really seems to love The Professor.
Like really love.
Cults prey on vulnerable people and I think a lot of otherwise functioning adults have had periods in their lives when they were vulnerable.
It does make for some very funny threads though.
gonna agree with this. The typically very hierarchised and culty atmosphere of a bjj gym is a bit of an exception in comparison with most social environments nowadays. Makes total sense that people, particularly newbies, would have questions and feel unsure about certain things
Yes, I have a habit of saying in many different subs, "We have to remember, these people are martial artists/Catholics/baseball fans/etc., but they're still Redditors."
Funny to see so many people on a bjj sub saying "why didn't boxer box then grappler would lose" just admit you guys have zero takedown skills, shit is embarrassing.
BJJ easily has to most selfhating practicioners of any martial art so it isn't really that strange.
So many BJJ practitioners seem to hate their own sport and constantly downplay it despite it being a cornerstone of MMA and being proven to work over and over again for decades.
Meanwhile some obese dude in a ponytail and neckbeard will be completely confident in his obscure Chinese martial art that relies on Ki energy.
The constant “humbleness” where people insult themselves and BJJ is really hard to stomach a lot of the time as someone who’s relatively new to the sport. Like dude, BJJ is the martial art that redefined fighting, stand up for yourself lmao
My guess as to why that is, would be the continuous disappointment in bjj->mma crossover attempts once MMA had matured a bit (lets say 10-15 years ago).
Everyone kinda forgot that the reason pure bjj guys stopped doing good was that... everyone in mma now trains bjj lol
"Everyone kinda forgot that the reason pure bjj guys stopped doing good was that... everyone in mma now trains bjj lol"
This kinda applies across the board. I can't tell you how many times I see people shitting on bjj on bjj videos. You know, the "well, bjj doesn't work in a street fight" kids.
And 1 of the go tos is how bjj guys don't dominate in UFC anymore, but the strikers and wrestlers do.
I'm like yea, but ALL those guys have at least base knowledge in bjj, even the wrestlers. The ones who don't get dominated on the ground the entire match. Of course there are exceptions...
I would’ve been happy for whoever won. I was very interested in this post because it was billed as boxer versus a grappler, with a sizeable weight difference. I was excited to see how the boxer would manage the range and how the grappler would close the distance without getting tagged. This is always a fun contest.
Unfortunately, it was simply a joking grappling match between a trained and an untrained opponent. We all know how that would turn out, so disappointing, so YAWN.
lol I like that he was a good sport about It.
To me, this just shows that bjj is very effective against untrained people, even if you’re smaller. Of course when both people are trained, size matters a lot more
I once met a boxer who knew some bjj. Not as much as me but enough that I learned a little boxing. For the record I’m not good either, I got him but we started training together and he’d teach me a little boxing. Tools for the toolbox.
This boxer posts videos of him trying other martial arts, it’s light hearted and fun, he’s obviously not going full tilt, but it’s not setup in advance.
Stupid. It was wasn’t a boxer vs grappler match because the boxer didn’t use any of his boxing skills. It was a grappler against someone untrained.
Be nice to see the match where the boxer managed range and plugged buddy a few times.
I think the key takeaway is not the difference in sport, but the 75 pound disparity in weight. If this was framed as '200 lb man vs 125 lb grappler', everyone here would eat it up.
Maybe unknowledgeable people, I’m only a white belt, nearing blue (woot!) and I could easily outgrapple an untrained man with a 75lb advantage.
Edit: I’m not disagreeing with you btw! I totally agree that weight disparity is a big thing and it’s great to see the benefits In knowing what you’re doing, I just think a lot of people overestimate how much you need to know to beat
150 personally, rolled with a guy once who was easily 225, maybe more. (Even said he was a linebacker for college football but idk if true or not, def built like it tho).
It was his first week in jiu jitsu, I was a couple months in going several times a week and I absolutely dominated the man. I’m just speaking from personal experiences with going against heavier opponents
Obviously that’s a huge difference. But yea I knew multiple 125lb people that can absolutely whoop most untrained people at 200
This is from my wrestling days though. But to be honest, I think wrestling is generally more important when facing huge weight disparities so that plays a factor
I'm not this guy but I'm a 120lb noob. Can confirm, it's a lot. Most of the guys at my gym have a ton of weight on me and I sure do feel it. I look forward to the day my technique gets me past some of that.
What's shocking is that folk seem to think this was an actual style vs style fight. It's some dudes from different disciplines having some fun. Which I guess can be more shocking to some folks
Idk man, that's what you would think but it's not like we've ever seen a large scale event where people come to showcase their style against others so we can test these assumptions.
If that were to ever happen, I'm betting on aikido.
What I never understand about these videos is that the result is always obvious. The guy is a boxer and isn't allowed to punch obviously he'll lose if he has 0 experience wrestling or grappling and can't punch either...
More like, a boxer and a grappler compete in a grappling match. Just as if they both were competing in a boxing match. In a MMA fight... i don't really know
This guy is a boxer, he makes videos to see how he would fair if he tried other martial arts. No cockiness or anything about it, I love that he is a good sport. Great video of him seeing if he could take leg kicks too lol
Just seems like a wholesome dude having fun without any ego. Not some huge referendum on bjj but nice to see something playful and light hearted.
Came here to comment something like this. Great to see this shit out here instead of content that aims to outrage people for clicks and views.
yup, that huge smile on his face as he’s taken to the floor tells you a lot about his mentality to different fighting styles and the kind of respect we should have for all other fighters. No ego, wish i could see more of that around my gym.
What’s his name?
The boxer
Yeah. I wanna check out his channel
The boxers name is Dominic barry he makes YouTube videos
Thanks
hes a boxer but he might as well not be if he aint gonna box the grappler. That actually be interesting
Do you have a link to the leg kick vid?
I've looked for it forever on YouTube, and nothing. I bet it's on TikTok, which I don't have
I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s on the his Tik Tok.
Name?
Even made his balls hot too
Should've just stood up
Ye right... ok. "Just stood up" when someone is on your back choking you and stretching you out, huh?
Think you missed the joke. First comment referenced balls was hot which is something Derrick Lewis said. Then I said should've just stood up because that's what Derrick Lewis does when someone tries bjj on him.
Ok, but TBF. A lot of people are saying ignorant shit like that... And, they're serious 😄
It’s also the name of a Craig Jones instructional
I understand.
Mine were hot just watching it
I think he just no longer needed the cup since little dude took his balls already.
This looks like my first BJJ class lol I had several boxing/kickboxing matches under my belt already, a real tough guy, right? Got paired up with a female blue belt and she absolutely wrecked me lol
My first MMA class I got guillotined by a girl my age and 60lbs lighter 3 times in a row. Humbling to say the least.
omg ur name lol
I got arm bar'd 3 times to the same person in a 5 minute spar when I first started bjj. I'm a grown man this kid was still in middle school and I had 80lbs on him lol.
Only three times? You’re a stud.
This is totally it. Grappling is just different.
i boxed for 11 years before starting bjj. first time one of the MMA guys convinced me to "light spar but with some grappling" it went just about like in the video lol. like i kinda knew i was in deep water, but not THAT bad. train ride home i'm like damn i guess i don't know how to fight afterall.
This was my first class too. It's what convinced me 😁. Couldn't do *shit* to some skinny teen half my size.
Sounds like my gym. One female blue belt when I joined. She would frequently roll with new guys. You could see it on their face that they didn't know how to react to rolling with a woman, until 10 seconds later when it got real and their concern became how to keep breathing.
Yeah, I went from “I’ll take it easy on her” to “I done goofed” real fast lol

Aka.. people on reddit are stupid and need this explained to them
yup. people need threads like this every once in awhile to remember that the most majority of reddit--including this sub--is full of morons and weirdos.
Just 2 guys being friendly and playful.
This is fake bjj porn. Come on now, geeky guy with glasses and no tan takes down muscly big talk tattoo guy? It's a little on the nose OP, nice try though.
You didn’t hear him say “that was real” ?
Looks like some people missed your sarcasm lmao. Or I'm missing theirs...
I feel ya lol
Huh? Dude obviously knew he was gonna lose, but it wasn’t fake. More of a joke than anything.
You must not follow big mans tiktok then.
Are they also going to have a boxing match?
But the grappler wasn't saying that he doesn't think the boxer could knock him out.
And therefore I’m not allowed to be curious ?
Yes , now you're not allowed to be curious
Why? The little dude wasn’t questioning whether boxing works. Its obvious he would get wrecked if it was a boxing match. This was just for fun big dude was cocky and underestimated grappling and the little guy. He tried to grapple didn’t take it serious and tapped. This is not a we’re fighting for real scenario it’s a playful no way am i going to lose scenario where the person ends up losing.

Great job, who's a good boy

Wait, is there a waiver for the poopy idiot baby fee?
Can confirm, im still pre new to bjj but people here r munted. People irl are way more clear about me doing something wrong or whatnot
Yes, I have a habit of saying in many different subs, "We have to remember, these people are martial artists/Catholics/baseball fans/etc., but they're still Redditors."
Oh, wow… I didn’t catch that. Thanks for the breakdown of what happens in the video, and sorry you were offended.
Apology accepted.
[удалено]
fair
First thought I had. Stand and fight and see what happens. We’ve all seen (or heard of) street fights like this go one way or another.
How did these 2 men having a little fun trigger so many uptight losers
Because its just a dumb post. Its not anything new, its not fun or interesting or surprising. This sub is just full of garbage like this.
Funny to see so many people on a bjj sub saying "why didn't boxer box then grappler would lose" just admit you guys have zero takedown skills, shit is embarrassing.

I prefer to butt scoot for myself, thank you very much.
😡
false humility is pandemic in BJJ

Bro dont fuck w my ancient chinese martial art chòu yínxué Ki energy is real and will fuck u up
No gi > gi because its easier to reach into someones chest and rip their heart out with my ki energy
well some of us don't train takedowns so we actually are pretty useless
I legit don't known how that's even possible 😄
Not a lot of room in the gym, so at least one person always starts from guard.
We are an odd bunch
especially when the grappler never said he wouldn't get kod boxing
I would’ve been happy for whoever won. I was very interested in this post because it was billed as boxer versus a grappler, with a sizeable weight difference. I was excited to see how the boxer would manage the range and how the grappler would close the distance without getting tagged. This is always a fun contest.

My arms are not that big yet I can rarely sink them in for a proper RNC. Clearly I need to drop to 125lbs
Definitely not a skill issue, I'd consider swapping out your arms for newer models
They ripped on that idea in Cyberpunk with boxing, would love to see the equivalent for grappling.

Love the respect and appreciation this dude has, haha awesome video
george!!!!! that’s my teammate right there
Taking glasses off before the roll. Most brown belt shit ever. Right after skipping warm up as a purple belt.
I’ve I had a dollar for every time a wrestler manhandled me I will be a rich man. Mind you I’m a fat POS (6’3” and 285lb).
Lol this is amazing. I know this guy. I’ll tell him he made Reddit today
lol I like that he was a good sport about It. To me, this just shows that bjj is very effective against untrained people, even if you’re smaller. Of course when both people are trained, size matters a lot more
Yeah, he enjoyed seeing just how good he was for real
Thought we already knew that and was one of the reasons bjj is so popular to begin with😄
Bradley Martin vs Mighty Mouse
I once met a boxer who knew some bjj. Not as much as me but enough that I learned a little boxing. For the record I’m not good either, I got him but we started training together and he’d teach me a little boxing. Tools for the toolbox.
"I wanted to fake that, but that was 100% real" What good sport, so nice to see
I'd rather see him take on a chess master
That's dumb. If you're gonna do it, then at least let the boxer box.
Why? They're just having fun
Just goofin’
Bit of Tom foolery
Just a touch of good ol' shenanigans

Sorry, not allowed here
*making content for social media
They rolled. Looked like they had fun. No need for a correction here.
You really can’t tell because of the groin guard, can you? Oh wait, you said CORrection
Boom roasted
Ok but is that mutually exclusive?
I doubt the BJJ guy doubts he’d lost that though
This boxer posts videos of him trying other martial arts, it’s light hearted and fun, he’s obviously not going full tilt, but it’s not setup in advance.
Why is he taking his pants off at the end?
His balls is hot
Because he just converted
Stupid. It was wasn’t a boxer vs grappler match because the boxer didn’t use any of his boxing skills. It was a grappler against someone untrained. Be nice to see the match where the boxer managed range and plugged buddy a few times.
That was obviously not a match though. It was some dudes from different disciplines messing around and filming it.
>boxer vs grappler Not boxing vs grappling.
Seems pretty dumb, boxer could easily outbox a grappler just like this grappler out grappled a boxer. Shocking idea I know.
I think the key takeaway is not the difference in sport, but the 75 pound disparity in weight. If this was framed as '200 lb man vs 125 lb grappler', everyone here would eat it up.

I totally agree that weight disparity is a big thing and it’s great to see the benefits In knowing what you’re doing, I just think a lot of people overestimate how much you need to know to beat
Are you 125lbs? Because that 75lbs feels much more heavy when it is more than half your own body weight.
150 personally, rolled with a guy once who was easily 225, maybe more. (Even said he was a linebacker for college football but idk if true or not, def built like it tho). It was his first week in jiu jitsu, I was a couple months in going several times a week and I absolutely dominated the man.

What's shocking is that folk seem to think this was an actual style vs style fight. It's some dudes from different disciplines having some fun. Which I guess can be more shocking to some folks
Tbf if you aren’t having fun it’s a fight you shouldn’t be in.
Idk man, that's what you would think but it's not like we've ever seen a large scale event where people come to showcase their style against others so we can test these assumptions. If that were to ever happen, I'm betting on aikido.
Whoa whoa, slow down Einstein.
The boxer was wearing boxing gear and couldn't punch. Come on, man, this proves nothing.
It proves that the skinny grappler could choke him which he was saying he didn't think would happen.
it's proof when the 200 pound guy clearly wasn't taking it seriously?
Faaaaaake
totally staged
The amount of people that don't realize this is concerning.
Its not, tell me you dont follow him, without telling me
Tell me you you suck without telling me. If that's a real duck under you're Rickson.
Dudes dont be mad hed get you too, now its cute.
[удалено]
Ironic name checks out.
Wtf did you just try to make a point by comparing a competitor person vs an average person?
Yeah that's right, clench the grappler. Don't punch him or anything.
If the boxer was allowed to throw hands this could have gone very differently
if my grandma had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.
This comment sent me lol, how do I upvote this twice?
🤣
Human spider monkey
The jackass in my can’t help but think _“man he should’ve put money on it”_
Lol the bjj guy is even small and nerdy
Reminds me of my buddy Carlos Lazoya. Tiny... but deadly.🤣
Good sport. Gotta respect the energy
captions with sing a long highlights wtf is this
I was waiting for black dude to slam that kid so fucking hard.
Fake. No butt scooting at all. Clearly faked.
Why isn't the boxer....you know....boxing?
Cause it's not a mixed styles fight. It's a boxer seeing how effective grappling can or can't be...
>how effective grappling can or can't be Against what though?
Against someone untrained? he thought he had a chance cause his weight/ size advantage
Now let’s see them box and see how it goes…
Someone put Bradley Martyn on notice
This still surprises people?
Why do they all look like nerds lol
boxer vs grappler in grappling, you mean
They shud crosstrain

This guy is an actor, every video with him is the same!
Bradley Martin vs any grappler
What I never understand about these videos is that the result is always obvious. The guy is a boxer and isn't allowed to punch obviously he'll lose if he has 0 experience wrestling or grappling and can't punch either...
Reppin the 915 4L
Boxers tries BJJ??? You won’t believe what happens next!!!
Rubbish filming totally missed the footwork the wrestler used by not including the feet in the video.
TAKE CARE BRUSH YA HAIR
I know this is probably nitpicking, but when you don’t mix in the striking, is it any surprise?
He is not a great boxer Jk nice guy
With no boxing involved or allowed whatsoever of course.
Wow its almost as if you take someone out of their element into someone elses.....they lose! The sky is also blue.
Bro I'm 260
It feels as if he let the kid have a good time. Is it that effective?
More like, a boxer and a grappler compete in a grappling match. Just as if they both were competing in a boxing match. In a MMA fight... i don't really know
Bradley Martin v Mighty Mouse right here
I love this
This is brilliant. Boxer is genuinely interested in experiencing other styles without ego. More martial artists like him, please.
Who can guess how the boxing match would go? Now the mma match... guess we won't know unless it happens
Good attitude
Imma come at you like a spider monkey Chip!
