  1. That dude is just on a completely different level of existence. I had a cousin just like him. He was small, drunk and fierce all the time. He got tricked by 6 “tough guys” who decided it was time he finally knew what it was like to get his ass kicked. Nobody won that fight. 4 guys got knocked cold out. The other 2 finally managed to take him out with a huge stick to the back of his head. He lost a front tooth. I’m not even going to say what happened to those other two guys later when he caught up with them. This is the kind of guy you pray you never have to fight. Great video man!

  2. It didn’t take much to beat those guys, they didn’t fight back at all. Seems like the entire thing was staged.
    Don’t buy into that shit, drinking/smoking kills your stamina. Yes, you might get fierce like for 30 seconds, then fall out of breath and be finished by any experienced fighter who just waits your rage out.
    Drinking, smoking and fighting leads to coronary failure, that’s personal experience. Stay healthy!

    • How on earth did that look staged? The cynicism of some people…

      And of course smoking and drinking kill your stamina, butt if you’re much more talented than the people your training with you’re not using much energy.

      Also some of the Filipinos train drunk with blades, and let’s face it you’re more likely to get attacked when you’re drunk anyway so it’s not a completely stupid idea to learn to defend yourself when drunk. Though, yeah, not a brilliant idea either in some ways

      • Nearly all reality shows are staged. Notice how the coaches overly talk him up, but not like his records or amazing fights. They talk about he’s unpredictable and original thinking creating mystery in the audiences mind. Nothing he did was that innovative. Also, most of the students look like total noobs who haven’t fought for more than a year so Jean will look very impressive with just basic moves. Did you see the overacting of the guy who gets tapped in the wrist by Jean’s knee and he has to go down to his knees in pain? No real emotions, surprises or drama here. The students struggle to sound impressed.

    • C’mon, these guys are training with GSP. Do you think these guys can’t fight?
      GSP thinks he’s tough, that says it all.

  3. He’s awesome. I looked him up after watching the latest Rogan / Jocko podcast where Joe mentions him

  4. Let me tell you a story Travis. Just a few hours ago I was at Subway and this man was bragging about his daughters who have been “fighting” since they were 2 years old and all his daughters are second degree black belts. Then he told the young guy as he was making his sandwich how an uncle placed his hand on one of the girl’s heads and she told him to never do that. He responded with “What are you gonna do”?

    The young “lady” elbowed him in the groin so hard he doubled over.

    Now this stupid man was proud to tell the story. I wanted to ask him what kind of daughters is he raising? Did he think that an elbow strike to her Uncle’s privates was really called for or that he would condone such a use of force. Seems to me he’s raising a pack of mean bitches with chips on their shoulders. I imagine that karma will provide them one day with another experience where they hurt someone and have to live with the shame of being violent (possibly sued) or they’ll meet an equally egotistical but more skillful or at least more aggressive fighter and then get their asses beaten.

    Actually he bragged that two of them are training for the MMA. Wait till they get injured and we’ll see how Daddy handles it.

    Apparently neither their father, their school or their instructor is teaching them humility or restraint.

  5. Makes sense, when I have had a drink I can’t walk straight, makes me hard to hit. I can’t speak, which is always a good thing. I can’t think, so I can’t get fooled.

  6. I’m glad that he’s so tough, so is this guy who used who lives down the street. BFD. In a Boxing Gym or Dojo, one tough guy who’s a drunk with a chip on his shoulder whose intent is to simply hurt students for his own sick ego gratification, is a liability and just a POS.
    He was ostensibly brought in to HELP TRAIN students. And ONLY that. What’s wrong with this dick? Why would GPS even use him? He obviously has some major anger issues and mental problems besides hitting the sauce. Someone like that should never be allowed to spar or train anyone, ever. End of story.

  7. Travis, you mightn’t believe me, but you Americans are some of the cleanest training people in the world. The most painful part of my full-contact Savate Boxe Francaise career was the obligatory “nightlife” (night death for me). Two days into a 10-day fight camp and I’m hating life. I could qualify for a shuffle-on role in The Walking Dead. I’m Irish and even I couldn’t keep up with these French bastards ! The next morning? They were always bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and bitch-slapping me from post to post. It was like touring with Nine Inch Nails, Guns & Roses, and Keith Richards- if they were champion fighters.
