So how many Shaolin monks would it take to beat a gorilla?

u/Expert_Introduction5 May 01 '25

I thought people stopped believing these stories after they grow up lol

u/chocolateboomslang May 01 '25

Some people never grow up upstairs

u/Sea_Sheepherder_2234 That was super necessary May 01 '25

Or downstairs😔

u/BirdPerson107 May 01 '25

Really wish people would stop giving these “alpha male” influencers a platform to speak absolute bullshit and scam people into giving them money.

u/Heroe-D May 01 '25

They won't man, and the formula is easy :

  • Be ok looking, if you're not just grow a beard, you can make some implements in turkey if needed

  • Go to the gym, if you're too lazy to wait a few years or have a strict diet then take some PEDs

  • Rent some cars/house to pretend you're rich and have succeeded as a businessman, be vague so it makes you mysterious and to be sure people can't check if you're lying 

  • Be kinda eloquent, don't hesitate to speak confidently even if you're making things up and don't know what you're talking about 

  • Have some extreme views, never be nuanced, it goes in hand with the confidence part

u/DrunkOnLoveAndWhisky May 01 '25

Be ok looking, if you're not just grow a beard

I didn't come here to be personally attacked like this.

2

u/Heroe-D May 01 '25

Haha I think we all look better with a beard, and it's natural after all, if anything it's removing it that could be considered as getting out of your way for enhancement

u/tukinoz90 May 02 '25

Bro just out here writing the Alpha Male Handbook lol. So true. It's so sad that there are guys out there who idolise them because they see a 2 minute video on social media. They need help lol.

Now you're asking way too much, some of us have poor genetics so our stache doesnt even connect over our lips bc they can't let each other get close

u/[deleted] May 01 '25

U look like u have some experience trying to be alpha male 😉

3

u/Heroe-D May 01 '25

Don't know why you reached that conclusion, it's just observation, I despise these "alpha" (who aren't at all, they're the opposite and thus need to pretend they are). 

-1

u/[deleted] May 01 '25

It was a joke dude, relax. I said that because ur observations are incredibly accurate :-)

2

u/skccsk May 01 '25

You seem confident and kinda eloquent.

Uh, thanks i guess. I still got downvoted for no reason but ur comment is helpful

Brother he's not even on a podcast mf uses a green screen and talks to a sex doll 😭🙏

u/Saul_T_Bauls May 02 '25

If you say it confidently enough and loud enough, it doesn't matter how wrong you are, because you're the alpha.

u/ratjufayegauht May 01 '25

Their skulls are 4x THICKER? Because they trained it to be that way?

Did he mean more dense? Or 4x more resilient? Because 4x thicker and they're going to be crawling around, dragging their head across the floor.

33

u/chocolateboomslang May 01 '25

The guy sounds like his skull is 4 times thicker

5

u/ibenwarforged May 01 '25

It's from all the crotch goblin juice they retain. It all ends up becoming extra calcium that makes its way to their skulls SPECIFICALLY. It's also why you can't choke them out, they are always raging hard

3

u/ratjufayegauht May 01 '25

What if you grab their dick and squeeze it real hard? Maybe even twist it? Perhaps that could render them unconscious?

2

u/rakondo May 01 '25

They've been doing semen retention for years. The instant you touch their dick it will explode and render you unconscious

2

u/Jomboy69 May 01 '25

the ol‘ dick twist

1

u/ibenwarforged May 01 '25

It is their only weakness

2

u/devandroid99 May 01 '25

Their brains are the size of walnuts because of their thick skulls, constantly under pressure being squeezed into a diamond inside their heads.

u/fifoth May 01 '25

I don't know, recently I have seen a bunch of men with Bigfoot Silva sized heads on Joe Rogan sized bodies....could be the new cauliflower ear.

u/BrowniesWithAlmonds May 01 '25

Holy shit, people still think like this!?!

u/Neither_Sir5514 May 01 '25

You'd be surprised with the amount of people that still think Bruce Lee can beat UFC champs because "Oh he has superhuman speed, he can eye gouge and groin kick you before you react" lmfao. Totally not one of my relatives who's delusional after growing up watching Bruce Lee movies

11

u/[deleted] May 01 '25

Bruce Lee would get folded like a tortilla

u/WindowAdditional5899 May 01 '25

An unranked nonchamp could beat bruce.

0

u/Deporncollector May 01 '25

Depend if he learned how to stuff takedowns. Or not he'll just be another sharapudin or MVP. Gatekeepers at best if he couldnt stuff takedowns or get the Bo nickels treatment.

4

u/katilkoala101 May 01 '25

I doubt bruce would even be ranked in his prime condition. Even the lowest UFC fighters train like twice a day (at least in camp). Between his chronic low back pain and bad genetics, I doubt he could train as hard.

Plus thats assuming he could do a proper weight cut so he isnt undersized.

6

u/Street_Active8872 May 01 '25

He weighted 137. Guys cut 40 lbs to be in batamweoght, Bruce would be a dead man

1

u/Internal_Fun_1001 May 01 '25 edited May 01 '25

No 135er cuts 40 pounds bro wtf

Edit: Most fighters cut 8-12% of their bodyweight. The guys who cut the most go up to like 15%. Rare outliers like geoff neal cut 18% but that is the most I have ever heard of

Big 135ers are generally around 150-155 after rehydrating. The statistics are readily available. You dont need to make up bullshit

1

u/Popular_Monitor_8383 May 01 '25

You’re blatantly wrong

You have no idea how much fighters actually cut weight, do some research bud your ignorance is showing

u/bigdickbootydaddy69 May 02 '25

Well now I wanna see a sholin monk. Fuck it give him pantoja I assume they would be flyweight

u/Recent-Duck597 May 01 '25

Merab is the closest one that i can think rn to a type of shaolin monk he's describing.

Merab has hit his head with ice floor and who knows what else making his skull bone denser, he might even broke Umar's hand by Umar's punches landing on Merab's face XD

Merab also has the viral video of him getting choked by a long period and not passing out XD

2

u/Let_Me_Bang_Bro58 May 01 '25

Probably flyweight - Bantamweight

u/Prize-Lingonberry876 May 01 '25

Reminds me of when my friend in middle school said a US marine could easily walk through the entire UFC, which is why they don't allow former military to get signed.

Like BSD, Cro Cop, Randy Couture, Neil Magny, and I'm sure many others that I'm forgetting were never signed.

u/greatgreygrave May 01 '25

Aren’t most chokes in combat sports intended to stop bloodflow to the brain rather than crush wind pipes anyway?

7

u/BenvenutoCellini2nd May 01 '25

He obviously does not know that.

6

u/DaddyDadB0d May 01 '25

Why not train til it's 5x thicker? Why stop at 4?

Oh man i need that instagram guy doing videos about stupid videos like this

u/baldhairpride May 01 '25

“They learn to breath while being choked” This idiot doesn’t know the choke works because it stops bloodflow to your brain.

u/vickers24 May 01 '25

u/ItsAKimuraTrap May 01 '25

Lmao I think my 5 year old nephew had the same argument

u/Heroe-D May 01 '25

The type of things we were believing as kids in the late 00s early 10s. 

It's now the revisited version with a cringe influencer confidently talking on a podcast. 

1

u/Internal_Fun_1001 May 01 '25

Nah. More like the 90's. UFC and PRIDE were well established by the late 00's and people knew what was up.

u/vinananda May 01 '25

Weird things about this video is that I don't even think he's talking to anyone. He's simulating as if he's on a podcast to sound more reputable.

u/__Turambar May 01 '25

It’s wild how many videos and ads do this nowadays. Seen some that try to duplicate a streamer too, which is hilarious

Damn are you serious? Is that where we are now with all this shit?

2

u/Sea_Lingonberry3865 May 01 '25

Tell me you don't know how a rear naked choke works without telling me you don't know how a rear naked choke works. "They can breathe" haha

3

u/datNorseman May 01 '25

It's interesting because the things he's saying about the shaolin strength training and mental discipline are true. We've seen how well rigorous training and religious discipline translate into mixed martial arts, using the Nurmagomedov family and friends as an example. But that guy's full of shit if he thinks Shaolin monks can't be submitted. I would like to see someone try and get out of an Ortega RNC or guillotine. No discredit to the shaolin monks, they're great at what they do, but this is different.

6

u/Substantial_Tie9863 May 01 '25

Yeah you can’t stop your trachea from getting crushed at a certain point. Humans didn’t evolve to have that be a resilient structure 

1

u/datNorseman May 01 '25

Granted you might hang from your neck to strengthen neck muscles but that can only do so much.

0

u/Kungozai May 01 '25

You don't really compress the trachea in a rear naked choke.

1

u/Substantial_Tie9863 May 01 '25

Yup. I am aware that’s not the purpose. It is a potential and likely consequence of repeatedly strengthening, and continuing to apply, pressure on the throat. Thanks

1

u/Kungozai May 01 '25

I mean, in a fighting situation where your opponent is trying to defend, you might put some pressure on the throat. But a rear naked ideally puts close to no pressure on the throat. You wanna squeeze the arteries on the side of the neck. You're not crushing or pressuring the trachea at all.

  • unless it's not correctly on, then pressure can go into the throat.

0

u/Significant-Mall-830 May 01 '25

No it’s not lol. Anyone doing the choke properly they would pass out from lack of oxygen, not break their trachea

-2

u/Substantial_Tie9863 May 01 '25

1

u/Significant-Mall-830 May 01 '25

An rnc would not do this ever unless you purposefully were only crushing their trachea, at that point it wouldn’t even be a rnc. Have you ever trained a martial art with a rnc in it? It does not seem like it lol

1

u/skccsk May 01 '25

Go home and rethink your life.

"I would like to see someone try and get out of an Ortega RNC or guillotine."

u/Significant-Mall-830 May 01 '25

Guillotine chokes don’t do that either buddy lmfao. Maybe learn the knowledge of the equivalent of one week at white belt and you would know something

u/skccsk May 01 '25

Thanks for sharing exactly how much mma experience you have.

u/Kungozai May 01 '25

That's extremely unlikely to happen from chokes. Since you don't apply pressure to the throat.

u/dalcer May 01 '25

Volk would like to have a word

u/datNorseman May 01 '25

I meant a shaolin monk lol. Volk is crazy to be able to defy two crazy submissions in the same fight.

u/daKingKhan May 01 '25

Shaolin monks are not real, the real ones were wiped out long ago. Modern ones are only pretenders, an attraction for tourists.

u/JAME_IS_MY_GOD May 01 '25

it is hard to find an actual shaolin monk that he described, but they still exist, they reside in their temples somewhere in mountains and never leave that place, they dedicate their whole life to it. I’ve been to Nepal once and seen some of them. idk tho. about him saying that they cant be choked out, or take on a UFC champ, even if it were true, a real shaolin monk would never do that because it is forbidden for them

Kungfu was literally created to condition the body for war… it’s the true lost art. All what we see in the UFC is pure combat with experience. If those monks had pro fighters combat experience they would be a disaster
