What happens when a web show host insults UFC champ Ronda Rousey:

[Are_grits_groceries]

Stupid, stupid man.
She should have put an arm bar on him too.

[Mc Mike]

1. Thanks, Agg. I've got to send this to my wife.

She's a big RR fan.

[RandiFan1290]

2. More idiotic violence?

So sad to see how many people actually watch this violent garbage.

[safeinOhio]

3. Few watch Judo players on the tv.

Not the violence of cage fighting. You might read up on the sport.

[Go Vols]

54. She is a cage fighter

Ronda Rousey is the UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion.

[Katashi_itto]

31. Akira Kurosawa's debut film was about Judo in 1943 called "Sanshiro Sugata" I suggest you watch it.

Sanshiro Sugata (姿三四郎 Sugata Sanshirō?, aka Judo Saga) is the directorial debut of the Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa. First released in Japan on 25 March 1943 by Toho film studios, the film was eventually released in the United States on 28 April 1974. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Tsuneo Tomita, the son of prominent judoka Tsunejirō Tomita. It follows the story of Sanshiro, a strong stubborn youth, who travels into the city in order to learn Jujutsu. However, upon his arrival he discovers a new form of self-defence: Judo.

The main character is based on Saigō Shirō.
The film is seen as an early example of Kurosawa's immediate grasp of the film-making process, and includes many of his directorial trademarks, such as the use of wipes, weather patterns as reflections of character moods, and abruptly changing camera speeds. The film itself was quite influential at the time, and has been remade on no fewer than five occasions. It spawned a sequel, Sanshiro Sugata Part II, which was released in 1945 and also directed by Kurosawa. In popular culture, the movie is the source of the parody character Segata Sanshiro, an advertising mascot created to sell the Sega Saturn video game system.

57. As I recall Judo was a reaction to

the violence and injuries of Jujutsu. It is almost purely a defensive sport. Not very good at it myself, I was very good at taking falls. I was once in a small educational film as the person being thrown by the master. I did well in learning how to land without injury. The person in the above film could have saved his ribs by learning how to slap the floor as he landed. I once had a lesson by a 70 something year old master that was amazing in his skill at that age. He was an Olympic coach way back when. Once you get past the hype, Rhonda is pretty amazing in the arts.

[Katashi_itto]

58. Funny you would bring that up, both movies revolve around the rivialries between our Judo hero and

the bad guys, the Jujitsu masters.

[OldRedneck]

4. I'll bet . . .

I'll bet her mother is proud of her.

[Travis_0004]

5. She does something she enjoys and is worth 5 million, so I dont see a problem.

[NavyDem]

6. I'd say her mom is quite proud...

Her mother is AnnaMaria De Mars.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnnMaria_De_Mars

[7962]

18. DOCTOR AnnaMarie De Mars, at that!

[trumad]

7. Her mother is a national judo champ

And taught her the sport.

I'm sure some here think that maybe she should have been taught kitchen skills instead.

[KittyWampus]

40. Then she should have been aware of the need for a giving the guy a mat and some coaching

on how to land properly without getting hurt.

The whole thing was plainly set up from the get-go.

Any responsible martial artist would have demonstrated this on a mat and made sure the opponent was prepared.

This video isn't funny. She wasn't responding to a real insult/challenge.

That woman was totally irresponsible and her mother should reprimand her.

[CanSocDem]

43. Indeed! (eom)

[indie9197]

55. It is on a mat. You can see the way it interlocks

similar to this product

[Katashi_itto]

65. Nice catch!

[Katashi_itto]

11. Yes, her mother is proud of her.

[OldRedneck]

47. DAMN!! You people are touchy today!!!

Don't recognize a bit of early-morning snark!!!!

EXC-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-S-E ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Katashi_itto]

49. Lolol...suffering from the crud sorry, I am very twitchy this morning between racking coughs.

Missed kendo practice all week because of it. Horrible cabin fever

[Adrahil]

8. Seems to have been in "good fun"

I don't think the dude was really insulting her. He expected to to get thrown... That was part of the show. Rouse didn't seem surprised.... This was discussed previously and agreed to.

And dude was making joke through the whole thing.

[Are_grits_groceries]

16. I think he got a little carried away.

I think both of them were set up to do that but he said the wrong thing with the wrong tone.

[Adrahil]

19. She never looked mad at all. She was laughing the whole time.

I don't think there was any anger involved, and I think she knew what he was going to say on camera.

If she DID hurt him in anger, that would be a crime. But that didn't happen.

[yuiyoshida]

9. The stupid thing is...

Judo is preformed on a mat, so people being thrown have some place soft to land on. The second thing is before anyone learns anything in Judo, they are taught HOW TO LAND. It is drilled into each student until they have learned the proper way to land.

I know this, I took 15 years of Judo as a kid.

[Katashi_itto]

12. Agree! Very stupid on his part. He shouldn't be asking for it if he doesn't know how to land.

[KittyWampus]

32. She is the stupid one & if he actually got hurt it was HER FAULT.

It was obviously a set up as they were both smiling and joking.

That she didn't make sure it was done on a mat and didn't give him some coaching on how to land means she was grossly irresponsible.

It is 100% her fault.

[Katashi_itto]

44. See #35

[Katashi_itto]

10. Lol! Totally funny. I've broken lots of things accidentally a number of times. It happens.

The last time, I broke a big toe during a Kendo match. Our Hakamas (the lower garment) are very long. I simply got my foot caught in it and landed wrong.

Kendo is this:

[Rex]

56. I'm curious about the second fight, why does one person have two kendo sticks?

One looks shorter like it would be a wakizashi.

[Blue_Tires]

60. How the hell do they score something moving that fast?

or is the scoring electronic?

[Katashi_itto]

13. I just reposted this at my Martial Arts facebook group and he's getting called all sort of names.

Idiot, douche, and those are the polite ones.

[Are_grits_groceries]

14. Be careful who you insult and

be careful what you wish for.

[Katashi_itto]

15. Be careful who you ask to throw you if you don't know how to land.

He's got he career laid out for him as the idiot who had his ribs broken by Rhonda Rousey during an interview.

I have a belt in Aikido, along with some other styles and am a ranking Kendoka. I am very well built, I would not be crazed enough to pick a tussle with her.

[Are_grits_groceries]

17. I think he really thought it wouldn't

be that hard. He was so clueless about her skills and about everything to do with martial arts. That's gonna hurt for a looooong time.

[Katashi_itto]

20. Exactly! I broke ribs too. It's sheer hell to breathe afterwards.

Poor bastard.

Still damn funny

[Katashi_itto]

22. Thank you for posting it! I have the crud, it made me laugh over all the coughing

[Adrahil]

21. Wanna bet this ribs are NOT broken?

This was intended to get views. It has.

[Katashi_itto]

23. Maybe, still funny though either way.

[Adrahil]

25. I agree. :)

[A Simple Game]

30. Gee I wonder why he had a mouthpiece in? I can't believe

people didn't see this was obviously a staged show. Yeah she acted real mad too didn't she?

[Katashi_itto]

48. Yep, I saw it. It was obvious it was staged and he thought he could take the fall on a hard floor.

Host was a total boob

[A Simple Game]

50. I'm sure he was sore but ratings are everything. She seemed to enjoy it though. n/t

[Katashi_itto]

51. She let her arm at his ribs and dropped with him onto him, so the arm works like a sledgehammer...

That move really hurts...


She did enjoy it

I would never want to be caught in a fight with her.

[KittyWampus]

34. Why? She's the idiot who toke someone down with no mat or coaching beforehand.

It is absolutely certain they planned this. That she didn't take his safety into account beforehand means she is totally responsible.

Your Martial Arts facebook group must be filled with jerks.

[Katashi_itto]

35. Lol! He's the host. He planned it, guess he should have planned it better.

She did what he wanted her to do, not her fault if he can't land on a hard floor.

I could.

[KittyWampus]

37. He's the host who doesn't know about martial arts. I did Tai Chi back in the day-

including sword.

Martial artists fall into two groups: responsible ones who think one step ahead and irresponsible ones.

She was totally irresponsible and morally at fault if he actually did get injured.

There is no question about that.

She did not think one step ahead.

[Katashi_itto]

41. Guess he should be more knowledgeable about Martial Arts IF HE IS HOSTING A SHOW ABOUT MARTIAL ARTS

Lol!

[Blue_Tires]

62. I would have at least hoped they talked this stunt through beforehand

and the woman informed him that she would be doing the move "full force", i.e., using the gravity of her body weight to inflict maximum damage...

Maybe she should have treated him like a kid for this exhibition -- Because I've seen plenty of novice kids get gently tumbled or turned over in classes before...

[Katashi_itto]

64. He was wearing a mouth protector. So he thought he could take it obviously.

[Logical]

59. LOL, you are so way off base it is silly! He asked for it. Whine much? nt

[shaayecanaan]

24. I'll be the first to post it

seeing as no one else will

[Katashi_itto]

26. Very cool! Thank you!

[7962]

27. She's said she thinks her chances are good against the lighter weight men in UFC too

http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/3/5/8156535/ronda-rousey-theoretically-i-could-beat-100-percent-of-ufc-mens

[Katashi_itto]

28. I am not familiar with UFC rules can she fight men then? I would love to see that.

Shes extremely good

[ProfessorGAC]

33. According To Joe Rogan, No

I was driving back from Cleveland and he was on the Lebatard show on ESPN radio. He's a spokesman for UFC and he said the owner wouldn't book that fight.

He did say he thought she could beat 50% of the men in her weight class. He knows way more about it than me, so i take his word for it.

[Katashi_itto]

42. Darn, would have been incredible to see. Thanks for the info

[7962]

45. There would be NO incentive for any man to fight her.

Everyone knows she's an excellent fighter, but if any man steps into the ring with her he has lost already. If he beats her, he'd be criticized for beating up on a woman and his fellow fighters would just say "oh, you beat a girl". If he lost, he'd never hear the end of it.
Of course, the right sized paycheck might change a mind.
I doubt Rhonda would push for an intergender fight either.

[Katashi_itto]

46. True, hadn't thought on that. Very good points.

[Katashi_itto]

29. Lol from my MA FB group someone just posted after seeing this:

"I'm available if and when she feels the need to break ribs lol."

[KittyWampus]

36. They were joking. It was set up. SHE IS TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE. No mat, no coaching.

If the guy got hurt it was 100% her fault for not making sure there was a mat and he wasn't given some basic coaching on how to land.

At least on a moral level.

Anyone cheering her on is cheering on an irresponsible martial artist who makes other martial artists look bad.

[Katashi_itto]

38. See #35

[Katashi_itto]

66. And as someone else pointed out it was on a mat.

[malaise]

39. Sweet

[Godhumor]

52. The host pulls these stunts all the time

A while back he got himself choked out by Cyborg. That also happened during an interview segment like this.


There is no denying RR is UFC's biggest start right now, and she is a total geek, which makes it all the better.

[Katashi_itto]

53. Cool beans!

[hifiguy]

61. I've seen Ronda Rousey fight.

Mess with the bull and you get the horns. Hope this was a setup. She could kill that barfmat in thirty seconds with her bare hands should she so desire.

[zappaman]

63. She lives in my neighborhood.

You would never think by looking at her, just how awesomely badass she is.
She took down her last opponent in 14 seconds.
I think she could send me to the ICU in 3 seconds!
