I feel such an incredible rush of relief that there are still true wise man today in places where one might look away the first time they see. You are truly someone I will watch more often now. Are u familiar with Master Greg park on his youtube channel "chosunninja" I wish you well mr. Sharpe. *bow*
I have a lotta respect for a man like this, he's got such talent and ability, yet he's always humble. I like his message too, don't try to be like anybody, be your best of what you're good at. That's how I interpreted him anyways. You have inspired me Mr. Sharpe, thank you.
This guy has a really peaceful happy smile... bad teeth, but the nice spirit really comes through, love the open sincerity with the constant grins. =)
1.heart, 2. wisdom, 3.strengh = a true martial artist, that is what he is. i respect you shifu, i am not joking, i am talking seriously (for the first time in my life). i bow down to you. that is what i had to say.
there is no doubt in my mind that Sifu Sharpe is the real Deal. He has the proper ettiquette, and attitude. His guidance is thorough and endearing. And his style of teaching is traditional. And it seems to simply come natural to him. I wish more Martial ARtists were as endearing as this man.
i think all you haters should take note of this peaceful guy who is trying to share his view of martial arts...i mean you guys must think Brock Lesnar or Anderson Silva just woke up one day and invented MMA!? Where do you think they learned all their stuff? It comes from taking bits and pieces of ALL martial arts. People used to think Karate wasn't good for MMA and then Machida (who happens to be a black belt BJJ) came along and started destroying everyone, with his Karate and not BJJ.
people are talking about tai chi not working. Taichi being functional depends on what you use it for. Im pretty sure theyd be taught not to use it for violence. Taichi depends on the person and knowledge as well as execution.
@bobogrecu i agree with you, we need toooooooooooooo much ppl like him, he is such a good influence for everybody. (but he needs to take care of himself though)
Agree with Rapposamandinga i actually just started doing capoeira and i can tell you that taking n e lessons from this man will greatly improve your skills. keep doiong wat you do and keep taking this videos because i can get somthing out of this too ; P
Man, it must have been a great opportunity to train and meet such a man like Roberto, judging from the humility and good manners he shows. I've already said it, but I ll' repeat, keep up your training and your very interesting project, and do not listen to frustrated shitheads, like the one down here, all they can do is bitching and talking shit upon other's work from behind a keyboard. My respect goes to you and to Roberto Sharpe.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Roberto will attack you with the colony of Insects that are living in his Beard!!! Come On Roberto! Lets Fight! I'll knock out your teeth!.........All 3 of them!
@Dead77Kennedy you sound like a complete looser. Roberto seems to be not only a nice person, but an astute judge of martial arts. Say, to put the way he did it about western boxing being a good platform for tai tsi, is a very true thing. The way your sick mind works, I see him KO you in half a minute or less. Stay away from him
Go Blow Boris Yeltsin you Fag!!!!!! The Soviet Union fell because of Pussies like you. Don't make me knock out your teeth and Roberto's teeth! You know shit about fighting........
@rAFiCoRe .....You like to get butt fucked by (Ricoloop), Ewhhh.....Some sweaty white guy "beat boxing" while he rams you in the asshole. You are a filthy person.
I will give myself 5 seconds to count all of Roberto's teeth!.......
Far far from being smart, typical bullshitter, who's mostly a reader, and hangs around martial artists taking bits, and pieces and tries tohold on to basic info about tai chi, etc no talent at all
PEACE Bro. Roberto, you have some true skill. and people like dead77kennedy who saw that watered down movie Only The Strong be a fool and run up on a Caporista,your ignorance will only help you into a hospital. respectfully Fere-El a Mwanzo Vita Sanaa Student

he is cool but will definitely get his ass kicked by the average teenager who trains basic mma under a real martial artist he looks like he's good at talking his way out of fights HOMO
Did you hear him talk about his training in the first minute?- and for so long!! I dont think he'd get his ass kicked. A martial artist's first job is to try and prevent a fight; only using their training as a last resort.
In ur description its written that u r 31 years old.. if thats true u should probably get urself hanged if u go like this through life as a 31 year old 'man' (haha), mma ppl never really learn 1 martial art PERFECT, they r just average... put someone of Ninjutsu against an MMA fighter...get the Ninja girl thats also on youtube...u're gona c that MMA is just the most basic of all skills... + I TOTALLY AGREE WITH Theetrailerparkkidds :D
@MrMMA6ave You do not realise the potential of the mind
The body is nothing without the mind whatsoever. If one does not explore all possible aspects of things, then one will not master anything. This man realizes this. The MIND produces adrenaline. The MIND decides ever single solitary move. Many pros in the MMA know this to be true as well. Don't speak of what you have no knowledge of.
This man is clearly a master of himself and doesn't need to earn respect from anyone as he has the most important type of respect. Self Respect. He's articulate and he's not boastful.
Ah, my teacher is the same as this guys. Dashi steven baugh despises being called anything 'pretty' although he has such a title among traditionalists.
This guy is actually out there doing his thing and for the right reasons. You internet wannabe fighters have nothing to even show the world or yourselves. Keep watching U.F.C. and putting on your fake thug attitude to try and cover being a weak coward, you only make yourselves appear as fools.
@halomademepoor Right, take your grammar to a street fight. "Oh no wait, you cursed at me with an adjective! The fight is invalid! No, wait...stop!" lol You amaze me. Armchair warriors, fun.
@halomademepoor ... YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT LOL. Not only does the context of a human term made by symbolism mean NOTHING in any manner of truth outside a subjective manner. But he didn't even say that U.F.C was a verb. YOU are the dumb fuck. this is coming from a complete stranger outside and unbiased from your squabble. Reach inside yourself and recover the honesty.
@7Matahari7 ufc isn't thug, its a more practical approach to self defense than doing flip kicks, just watch military tactics theres a reason why they teach it to their soldiers - because it works. This guy isn't a fraud because he legitimately believes that what hes teaching is right but that doesn't mean it is. Try use your 'heart and soul' against someone with a knife..
@RawCQC You people should learn to read be4 you reply to me. I did not say U.F.C. is thug. How can it be? It's a ring SPORT, with rules and made for entertainment. I have fought under these rules myself, it's fun. I'm also a U.S. Army war veteran, I just may know a thing or two about combat. If you do not use your Heart (will) and Soul (would be useless to explain to you) then your chances are very slim. You think ring fighters don't use Heart and Soul? Again, U.F.C. is NOT a style, its rules.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know too many martial artists like this. they just name drop and mention as many martial arts as they know. Ive seen this guys vids are he is awful. over the 4 or 5 vids ive seen of him, he is a classic example of someone who has got to a high standard when they were young, done nothing for 30years, and taken up a few things in the last year or two.
He's just another crap MAist that thinks he can 'help' people. Ive met 100s of them.
Look people he is not a bum, vagrant, or con artist! He is genuine in form and personality. He is educated and well spoken, with alot of patience and wisdom. Just because someone looks bohemian does not make them a bum. All you judgmentards need to look at the deepness of this particular individual
vagrant and vagabonding martial artists aren't bad people! :D
They just aren't as helpful...unless they are passing by when you get jumped haha. We just need more legit and passionate street teachers like this guy and less 'wandering' types.
@flowjitsu1337 agree. that guy has wisdom, strengh and heart he is a truly martial artis. some people might write bad comment because of their jealousy or fear. so dont mind them. personaly i believe that guy has earned the respect of that place and of the most of us here.
this dude would rock you, idk why half of these bitch internet thugs talk shit let alone won't do shit when a dude in there face ready to whoop they ass
MMA proponents talk about chi as being useless in a fight. I would venture to say that chi has nothing to do with fighting. It's more about going deeper into one's self and experiencing the moment. This is the level we experience chi at. It's about the meditation. The fighting in this case is irrelevant. If chi is life's energy, then we build life's energy, not a tool with which to attack, but to experience.
therefore in order for the atoms to maintain. there must be plasma there for chi is plasma. the other types of matter can consume and project chi/plasma/energy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
chi is not a magical or religious force it is rather, energy, and a very common form, plasma. plasma is the most common type of matter in the universe, as a matter of fact 95% of the universes contents is plasma. the rest is a combination of plasma and/or liquid, gas, or solid. in order for the liquid solid or gas to contain its form (atom size) there must be an electrical charge (plasma example fire or lightning) from the protons neutrons and electrons,
All you retards taking shit about mma dont even know how hard and how much work it takes to be an mma fighter so instead all that shit talking you do some research and do some training before you shit talk
This guy is an MMA fighter. He combines traditional martial arts with western boxing and grappling. He's educated, soft spoken. Seems like a good martial artist. As for all the WIMPS who talk smack about MMA, they wouldnt last in the ring / cage for a single round with an MMA fighter with 1 year training.
Their 'style' is anything goes. There are rules so fighters can get paid. If you like truly NO RULES and no gloves, no weight limmit or time limit, try Vale Tudo Brazil. I think why traditional martial artists complain is that MMA doesn't look as pretty. Styles like TKD, Karate, etc. look pretty against their own style. Once more techniques are added to the game, most competitive martial arts don't work. Most MMA fighters come from traditional backgrounds and quickly adjusted.
Why is it that so many YouTube posters are such moronic jackasses? It's astounding the number of stupid one-liners that people make, particularly on videos such as this. Perhaps there should be an IQ test before registration. I think that might help keep the fools from talking foolishness.
I love how judgemental and shallow the world has become. The guy has a shaggy beird and Rasto hat and you all think he's a bum and a hobo because he doesn't look like your steroid-ridden MMA Animals. I dare you to call this guy a bum to his face and see how long you stay on your feet. I've been doing Martial Arts for nearly 11 years and this guy has skill, he might not be the Martial Art Master but he's not someone to get up in his face calling him a hobo.
You're a 15 year old kid. What do you know about combat or any real training. Most of the MMA champions have been fighting while your Mom was still wiping your pooper. Grow up, wise up, do some real training, and try some real fighting instead of watching ninja movies and throwing rubber shuriken ninja starts at your friends.
Lol, nothing gets by you does it. And I've been doing Martial Arts since I was the age of 4. I have my third black belt in Taekwondo and the won the Provincial Championships multiple times. Unless you're some kind of stalker you shouldn't know a damn about me or who I am, so really, I see no facts or knowledge behind what you say because you don't know me. So maybe next time before you open your mouth, try and know something more about the person you're talking to apart from the obvious.
I'm not sure what a Provincial Champion is. But I can assure you, you'll have your hands full with a local MMA fighter. If you adjust, learn serious grappling, boxing, etc. at age 15, you may still be a force to reackon with in MMA. You're young enough to do it. There are fighters out there who have been fighting Olympic level in boxing, wrestling judo and even TKD for longer than you have been alive. Congrats on Provincial Championship.
hes growin the beard and dreads probably cause hes a rasta or some other religious belief, people are stupid, it has nothing to do with how proffesional he really is. i have dreadlocks too, does that make me a bad fighter?
i know only what i see in this video - a man with an ungroomed beard talking in the park; he is cheerful, calm, focused and eloquent... his word are smart and true.
most people forget one of the most important aspects of martial arts......no matter what style you learn, it is designed to make you a better person so you dont go out and kill somebody. Its not designed to show how badass you are and to argue ufc destroys everything out there. All martial arts are important and everyone should learn things from all styles. but whatever, to each his own. anyone who isnt a cage fighter is a faggot in some peoples eyes i suppose.
Probably... It's pathetic. I have a full beard, I'm young and I'm white so all I get all day is Moses and Jesus. People can be ignorant cunts.
It's like since when did everyone decide clean shaven and short hair is the only style for men? EVERY other age besides the past 20 years accepted long hair and beards on anybody who cared to have one.
Looks can be deceiving.... look at ex-president Bush, intelligence of a parking meter.
This guy is very intelligent and Humble... he would have made a fine president if he was ever elected. Being Humble is a quality that no leader can be without.
I'd hate to see him have to hurt someone.. Man is he cool!

They just aren't as helpful...unless they are passing by when you get jumped haha. We just need more legit and passionate street teachers like this guy and less 'wandering' types.

MMA proponents talk about chi as being useless in a fight. I would venture to say that chi has nothing to do with fighting. It's more about going deeper into one's self and experiencing the moment. This is the level we experience chi at. It's about the meditation. The fighting in this case is irrelevant. If chi is life's energy, then we build life's energy, not a tool with which to attack, but to experience.

therefore in order for the atoms to maintain. there must be plasma there for chi is plasma. the other types of matter can consume and project chi/plasma/energy.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
chi is not a magical or religious force it is rather, energy, and a very common form, plasma. plasma is the most common type of matter in the universe, as a matter of fact 95% of the universes contents is plasma. the rest is a combination of plasma and/or liquid, gas, or solid. in order for the liquid solid or gas to contain its form (atom size) there must be an electrical charge (plasma example fire or lightning) from the protons neutrons and electrons,

All you retards taking shit about mma dont even know how hard and how much work it takes to be an mma fighter so instead all that shit talking you do some research and do some training before you shit talk
wiseman2083 2 years ago
This guy is an MMA fighter. He combines traditional martial arts with western boxing and grappling. He's educated, soft spoken. Seems like a good martial artist. As for all the WIMPS who talk smack about MMA, they wouldnt last in the ring / cage for a single round with an MMA fighter with 1 year training.

I don't believe we ever said that they were bad fighters. I agree they are very good at fighting, I just don't like them, or their style.
GuitarNinja3000 2 years ago
Their 'style' is anything goes. There are rules so fighters can get paid. If you like truly NO RULES and no gloves, no weight limmit or time limit, try Vale Tudo Brazil. I think why traditional martial artists complain is that MMA doesn't look as pretty. Styles like TKD, Karate, etc. look pretty against their own style. Once more techniques are added to the game, most competitive martial arts don't work. Most MMA fighters come from traditional backgrounds and quickly adjusted.

Why is it that so many YouTube posters are such moronic jackasses? It's astounding the number of stupid one-liners that people make, particularly on videos such as this. Perhaps there should be an IQ test before registration. I think that might help keep the fools from talking foolishness.

I love how judgemental and shallow the world has become. The guy has a shaggy beird and Rasto hat and you all think he's a bum and a hobo because he doesn't look like your steroid-ridden MMA Animals. I dare you to call this guy a bum to his face and see how long you stay on your feet. I've been doing Martial Arts for nearly 11 years and this guy has skill, he might not be the Martial Art Master but he's not someone to get up in his face calling him a hobo.

GuitarNinja3000 2 years ago
You're a 15 year old kid. What do you know about combat or any real training. Most of the MMA champions have been fighting while your Mom was still wiping your pooper. Grow up, wise up, do some real training, and try some real fighting instead of watching ninja movies and throwing rubber shuriken ninja starts at your friends.
MAfanatic 2 years ago
Lol, nothing gets by you does it. And I've been doing Martial Arts since I was the age of 4. I have my third black belt in Taekwondo and the won the Provincial Championships multiple times. Unless you're some kind of stalker you shouldn't know a damn about me or who I am, so really, I see no facts or knowledge behind what you say because you don't know me. So maybe next time before you open your mouth, try and know something more about the person you're talking to apart from the obvious.
GuitarNinja3000 2 years ago
I'm not sure what a Provincial Champion is. But I can assure you, you'll have your hands full with a local MMA fighter. If you adjust, learn serious grappling, boxing, etc. at age 15, you may still be a force to reackon with in MMA. You're young enough to do it. There are fighters out there who have been fighting Olympic level in boxing, wrestling judo and even TKD for longer than you have been alive. Congrats on Provincial Championship.
MAfanatic 2 years ago
Thanks, and I'll keep that in mind and probably look into it as a solid form of self defense training.

hes growin the beard and dreads probably cause hes a rasta or some other religious belief, people are stupid, it has nothing to do with how proffesional he really is. i have dreadlocks too, does that make me a bad fighter?

most people forget one of the most important aspects of martial arts......no matter what style you learn, it is designed to make you a better person so you dont go out and kill somebody. Its not designed to show how badass you are and to argue ufc destroys everything out there. All martial arts are important and everyone should learn things from all styles. but whatever, to each his own. anyone who isnt a cage fighter is a faggot in some peoples eyes i suppose.

Probably... It's pathetic. I have a full beard, I'm young and I'm white so all I get all day is Moses and Jesus. People can be ignorant cunts.
It's like since when did everyone decide clean shaven and short hair is the only style for men? EVERY other age besides the past 20 years accepted long hair and beards on anybody who cared to have one.
