New documentary just dropped — and this one is going to start arguments.

Navy SEALs vs Green Berets. Who wins in a real hand-to-hand fight?

We didn't go with opinions. We went with the documented Army Combatives Championship records, the verified career of the Green Beret who won the Army's service-wide combat title three consecutive years while fighting in the UFC, and the official SEAL Team 6 training contract that reveals exactly what SEALs actually train for.

The answer is not what most people expect.

In a pure hand-to-hand fight — who wins?

New documentary just dropped.

The UFC bans 31 techniques. We went through every one and found the 10 most brutal — techniques that appear in WWII military manuals, in traditional martial arts that predate the UFC by over a thousand years, and in combat systems built with one purpose: ending a human being as fast as possible.

No opinions. No myths. Every technique verified against official sources.

The #1 on the list requires no strength, no training, and almost no setup. Fairbairn taught it to Allied commandos in 1942 because it works from the weakest possible position.

Which banned technique do you think is the most dangerous in a real fight?

A referee stopped a sanctioned MMA bout in 2014 because he didn't know what he was watching.

The technique was legal. The stoppage was overturned. The fighter who had it applied to him admitted he was about to tap — and the referee had accidentally saved him.

The technique is still legal today.

New video is live: 7 techniques that are 100% permitted under combat sports rules — and that referees have no protocol for when they appear. Anatomy, rule analysis, and the specific reason each one falls into the gap the rulebook can't close.

103,000 of you watched the Worst Martial Arts list.

This is the other one.

10 systems ranked against four criteria: performance under adrenal stress, pressure-testing against resisting opponents, multiple-range coverage, and documented real-world validation through military or law enforcement adoption.

#1 is not a single martial art. It is a training methodology. And it sits at number one because it was specifically designed to address the one failure point that every other system on this list leaves partially open.

New video is live. The order is going to generate arguments. Good.

What should have been ranked higher?

There is a Persian stone carving from roughly 400 BC that shows a grappling position any BJJ practitioner would recognize immediately.

The system behind it is called Pahlavani. It predates the Gracie family by over a thousand years. It was banned under the Arab conquest of Persia, banned under the Mongol occupation, restricted by two successive Iranian dynasties, and is still restricted today.

UNESCO recognized it in 2010 — but as cultural heritage, not as a martial art. Because the martial applications are exactly what twelve centuries of governments have been trying to erase.

New video is live: the 7 Pahlavani grappling techniques that predate BJJ — and why every government that encountered them tried to ban them.

If you train BJJ — do you think grappling principles were independently discovered, or is there more connection than we know?

No gloves. Headbutts legal. Knocked out? You get two minutes to recover and keep fighting.

Lethwei is Myanmar's national combat sport. It has been practiced continuously for over a thousand years. It has a documented death toll. And its practitioners have been asked, repeatedly, by international governing bodies to change their rules.

They have refused every time. check full video : https://youtu.be/tWzMw2CktAo

New video is live: the full history of Lethwei — the origins, the colonial suppression that failed, the neuroscience behind why the two-minute recovery rule kills fighters, and why the Lethwei community's argument against reform is harder to dismiss than critics want to admit.

What's your position on the reform debate?
