I joined the Army in 2000, a week after highschool. I was brought up to believe that men, real men, do not cry. I wasn't abused or anything just brought up a certain way, work hard, I should be able to raise a family on one income, that kind of thing.
I take martial arts. I'm an adult but I attend the children's class and the instructors are truly like a second father to the children. Some of the kindest people you'll ever meet.
I know boys need this. But I'm a woman and I needed this too. (I typed "girl" first I think because my inner child reacted to this video so hard) I was never taught persistence and my emotions were always too much and I should just be happy. When I sucked at something, my dad just gave up on doing that thing with me. Now I'm terrified of failure and judge myself too harshly for mistakes. This doesn't make me pursue perfection. This makes me not keep working at something when i see I'm not good at it right away. And I certainly didn't have the emotional support growing up to have any clue what to do with my emotions now.
Look into DBT and CBT therapy, online has free worksheets you can look at. There are also videos you can watch online. Learning to handle your emotions is possible, no matter what age you are
I quit a LOT of things as a kid when I was around 10-12 years old and even now I could use some lessons in persistence. I can't stand to let anyone see me struggle. I wish a few adults had actually tried to talk to me about why I was quitting and tried to build me up.
Points to the little man for knowing specifically what he wants. Robotics engineer! If you asked me what I want to be I would have said Batman or something.
Why do you think this martial arts facility was founded solely for 'boys without fathers'? Is it because all of the children are black kids? Even if you didn't mean it that way, you may want to unpack why your brain went directly there....
Although def wasn't needed to dub him a racist for being completely wrong, the dude is an idiot for out of nowhere coming to that conclusion. This video was posted here a year ago, the dojo welcomes all kids not just fatherless ones.
If I was in his area, I'd be interested in signing up my kid for his classes. I feel like I'd learn something in every class on how to be a good father or just a good person.
This dojo isn't just for boys without fathers. Seen this posted a year ago, like others, it welcomes all kids. No idea how OP came to that conclusion, just saying, not truthful info.
The whole without fathers is bullshit, in fact, there is a video from his dojo where one of these kids gets on the father's back and the master tells the guy to do pushups. There is no need to embellish stories like these at all, they are amazing on their own, and doing so just casts doubt over the whole thing.
There was another video of him going around a while ago, same kind of video. He was giving a life lesson to one of the students too. Dang near made me cry on that one. Wish I could find it again.
100% - acknowledging my emotions let’s me decide if I want to feel them fully or suppress them in the name of a higher priority. It took a lot of years of therapy to figure that out.
What a beautiful moment of clarity. Men are emotional creatures and we need to learn how to develop brotherhood between all men instead of being viewed always as competition or the enemy.
I’ve seen many videos from this guy and they’re all very heartwarming he seems like a very hard working man who wants to make the world a better place.
I've seen a lot of this guys videos and I like every one of them. He is out here teaching children mental and physical discipline and I genuinely like the messages he is spreading.
I’m telling all of you now if you have kids please when they are 4-6yo enroll them in jiu jitsu. And just watch the confidence soar. Then respect follows right after.
Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. This man is a hero to these boys. I know how it feels to keep your emotions in. It's hard as a man to express your thoughts and feelings. In society, we aren't supposed to show emotion, just work provide and reproduce. This man is indeed the GOAT!
I had a similar experience in Karate as a kid. My sensei, a 75 year old Japanese man, Shingo Ohgami, said once "turn your anxiety and insecurities to anger, then turn your anger into aggressiveness. Now, learn to control and direct your aggressiveness"
This is soooo good! Our society says it's not okay for boys and men to express their feelings and emotions and what this man is doing is soo important because we need to let these young boys and young men know that it is okay to cry it's not something to be ashamed of it's just a feeling just like happiness is and it's okay to feel and maybe more importantly learn to understand our emotions so that we can express them in the correct ways so that we don't act out on pent up frustrations or fear or some other emotions. This hopefully for this little boy is a lesson that he will remember for the rest of his life and hopefully continue to work on and teach his own kids and others too. Really makes me feel good knowing that there are people out there that are making a difference in the lives of children and adults too!
I was very interested in this type of stuff. I follow the man Jason on social media. He seems like a good guy. I'm not one for seeing all these intimate moments filmed and put on display for views. And telling men to be more sensitive. That's just me. But he seems like maybe his heart is in the right place.
I would cry at every session. I don’t even know that I’m interested in the martial arts, I just wanna go see this guy create strong men.
do we have to be in his class for him to throw us around and knock some sense into us?
Shoot I’m a 31 years old just watching this makes my eyes water, I’m gonna go hug my daughter now.

Such a needed thing today. God bless this man and bless these kids.
Mentality, spiritually and physically strong. 💪🏾
Don't mind me, just openly crying over coffee.
This chopped onion coffee is delicious
Same
SAME
Good man we need more like him
[удалено]
On top of this, he needs to teach an instructor class.
Then be like him
Boys need good men to show them how to grow up right.
Is that your super power,
Otherwise you end up like me! 👍 cute and feminine.
I know boys need this. But I'm a woman and I needed this too.

Shit, are you girl/woman version of me?
Points to the little man for knowing specifically what he wants. Robotics engineer! If you asked me what I want to be I would have said Batman or something.
I'm 51 yo and I still don't even know what I want to be.
be the hero "insert your location” deserves
Haha my answer would have been "megatron" for sure.
Iirc I wanted to be a power ranger at his age. A literal fuckin power ranger.
Why do you think this martial arts facility was founded solely for 'boys without fathers'? Is it because all of the children are black kids? Even if you didn't mean it that way, you may want to unpack why your brain went directly there....
How dare you influence my biased and flawed perception of reality with your "LoGiC aNd ReAsOn"
Although def wasn't needed to dub him a racist for being completely wrong, the dude is an idiot for out of nowhere coming to that conclusion. This video was posted here a year ago, the dojo welcomes all kids not just fatherless ones.
I’ve seen this instructor before and I’ve seen him talking to a father after class. So it’s certainly a misleading title.
Daaamn this was some attempt at being wholesome by being racist!
was looking for something like this, found it too wierd that there wasn't even one white kid there if it was for fatherless individuals
For anyone that doesn’t know the teacher’s name is Jason Wilson and he has a book called Battle Cry. It’s a really good read.
Thank you, I just bought it on Audible, will listen to it !
Thanks! Will read it!
Hi, is he available to be adopted as a dad?..
I would like to know too
If I was in his area, I'd be interested in signing up my kid for his classes. I feel like I'd learn something in every class on how to be a good father or just a good person.
This dojo isn't just for boys without fathers. Seen this posted a year ago, like others, it welcomes all kids. No idea how OP came to that conclusion, just saying, not truthful info.
The world needs more of this. Boys need to be taught how to be men. Boys need father figures. Mentors. Guides.
Having a great mentor is seriously priceless. Sets you up for life. You can see it in people too, whether they had one.
Someone cutting onions in here.
This is wonderful
After so many years of Marvel and the other crap, finally a true superhero!
Oh yeah, instant tears. I wish I’d had this as a young girl. Protect this king
Jason Wilson. Seems like a good guy. I follow him on Instagram. Mrjasonwilson. Also has books out.
Thank you. Heading on over to follow this good soul.
OP does no research before posting a video that's been posted a 1000 times. Who did it better?
Plot twist- hes all these kid’s father
The whole without fathers is bullshit, in fact, there is a video from his dojo where one of these kids gets on the father's back and the master tells the guy to do pushups. There is no need to embellish stories like these at all, they are amazing on their own, and doing so just casts doubt over the whole thing.
Reasons why OP didn't reply to anything. He is karma farming old posts
A great person has appeared
I didn’t know I need to see this but that’s amazing
This reminds me of Whiplash: “I’m upset!”
I am 4x their age and I need this dude to teach me
I would have given anything to have a single person like this in my life. It would have changed everything.
There was another video of him going around a while ago, same kind of video. He was giving a life lesson to one of the students too. Dang near made me cry on that one. Wish I could find it again.
I bet that guy is one of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet. What a gem for a community to have such a dude around for these kids
Does he take 40+ white dudes as students?
Love this with all my heart.
That's one great man right there!
I’m a 33 y/o man and I feel like I need a hug from this guy
Damn, i didnt even know I need this Sensei in my life
i feel like my grandmaster would get along great with this guy.
Wow. I thought it was just Kenobi who did that.
Jedi master
That was really lovely
The Don Dada.... So beautiful.... Would have loved to have somebody like this in my own life... Its so needed.....
That’s a good coach a great man. Very admirable
100% - acknowledging my emotions let’s me decide if I want to feel them fully or suppress them in the name of a higher priority. It took a lot of years of therapy to figure that out.
Thank you sensei.
If I were that kids mom I would cry right there in front of everyone
I definitely cried
That. Is. Amazing. Sensei actually teaching just more than movement and technique. Sensei is someone who we look up to. He is it.
What a beautiful moment of clarity. Men are emotional creatures and we need to learn how to develop brotherhood between all men instead of being viewed always as competition or the enemy.
Wonder what kinds of emotions I have built up. We need more men like this guy
I’ve seen many videos from this guy and they’re all very heartwarming he seems like a very hard working man who wants to make the world a better place.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen today.
This made me cry, what a cool dude
As a kid that lost my dad and got into a lot of trouble I can say this would have been a solution
The solution is more open-ended. OP didn't look this up at all. This dojo is public for anyone, not just fatherless kids.
😭
He meets women fo sho
Who is this guy? I love him & want to give him all my moneys
LOL
This is what a great man looks like.
Goddamnit, got me cryin over here man 🤣
Good man
I wish I went to his martial arts clinic. Guess I’ll just kill my father.
I hope my son meets someone like this, as his father I’m being denied to have anything to do with him by his mother.
This man is a Saint and I would listen until the end of time
GREAT MAN!
Holy damn, that is damn wholesome
Don't mind me, just a grown man doing a cry
Got me crying first thing in the morning
I've seen a lot of this guys videos and I like every one of them. He is out here teaching children mental and physical discipline and I genuinely like the messages he is spreading.
Some heros wear capes, some teach martial arts ❤️
Absolutely here for all of this. And I want to see more. What an incredible individual
I’m telling all of you now if you have kids please when they are 4-6yo enroll them in jiu jitsu. And just watch the confidence soar. Then respect follows right after.
Who put onions in this post?!
Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. This man is a hero to these boys. I know how it feels to keep your emotions in. It's hard as a man to express your thoughts and feelings. In society, we aren't supposed to show emotion, just work provide and reproduce. This man is indeed the GOAT!
Building confidence 1 brick at a time
I love this, every time it’s posted.
Good teacher
Man I really wish I had met him or someone equivalent (him, it had to be him) when I was a kid.
I love this, teaching boys how to be tough and in touch with their emotions
What a helluva man helping these lads, this is good stuff
Goddamm this is some next level shit, very fucking wholesome, that guy is a real King
This.
I had a similar experience in Karate as a kid. My sensei, a 75 year old Japanese man, Shingo Ohgami, said once "turn your anxiety and insecurities to anger, then turn your anger into aggressiveness. Now, learn to control and direct your aggressiveness"
Are any of you cutting onions in here
Cave 313. They have a YouTube and I believe they started a podcast kind of recently.
It's a terrible day for rain, Lieutenant.
Who the hell cut all these onions up?
Seem many videos of this guy. Such a beautiful human being.
That was badass
Jason Wilson is awesome, everyman should read Cry like a Man. Good read for misguided men. I enjoyed it.
These are gonna be some bad mama jamas.in a good way
…. Maybe the world isn’t COMPLETELY doomed.
Makes me wanna jump up and scream IM NERVOUS TOO
Who is this man and how can we be supportive?
This guy was on Rogan. He’s amazing.
Who is this guy bcus his lessons are too good. He is firm with these kids but always helps them deal and learn to cope.
This guy is real life white beard
Cuttino Mobley is the man!!
The power of vocalizing your emotions as readily as other thoughts is a very, very powerful thing to learn.
I respect this person so much.
Wow, this man is a saint.
That’s a fucking G
Plot twist: he IS all of their fathers
Damn i would have liked to be raised that way
This man is just…special.
Rogan interviewed this man. He’s incredible.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 respect
I needed this so bad as a young man
My reverse ETF got even for at least two times but I didn’t cash out. I don’t know what to do now. If the bear market ends, I will regret
MadeMeSmile
This. Is. Awesome.
This guy is doing sterling work. Real world hero.
I love this so much.
Well, now I'm cutting onions.
If there's a waitlist for his class it must be insane. I should book now for the possibility of my possible grandchildren.
I’m not crying, you’re!!!
Wish I had this guy as a kid.
Good man.
I’m not crying. You are. Shut up.
Good Man.
aha im crying i want this and im almost an adult pls SDFSDNJMK
I am nervous!
wholesome
Need more like him.
This is actually brilliant, raising true men, wish I had something like this growing up because God knows I needed it
He’s more a hero than these idiots we have in Hollywood trying to preach shit to us while they violate every rule
That dude is legendary
Proper man teaching proper life lessons. Xxx
This is awesome.
I had a dad and I still never got this
Damn, from that small clip, that's inspirational..
If I were ever to say this as a kid it would have been such a huge relief.
Does this guy take donations? Would absolutely love to help someone who’s helping others
Can he be my dad?
Seems like a great way to sleep with their mothers
Man, I had a dad but I think I need this. Can I sign up like 20 years too late?
That is a truly beautiful person. Thank You
I love everything about this
This man is an absolute saint.
I wanna do this with my life
I love how the instructor is showing this young man the importance of saying how he feels. It doesn’t make a man a pussy, it makes them human.
Some people are good people.
Role model A+
I didn’t understand.
Caption is wrong.
Channel that nervous energy to cripple your opponent.
Please tell me that isn't Lloyd Irvin? ☹️
What a good dude.
Can this dude do a tour with JP? There's much healing needed all over
Bet he gets loads of pussy
That’s what I’m talking about!!!!
This is soooo good! Our society says it's not okay for boys and men to express their feelings and emotions and what this man is doing is soo important because we need to let these young boys and young men know that it is okay to cry it's not something to be ashamed of it's just a feeling just like happiness is and it's okay to feel and maybe more importantly learn to understand our emotions so that we can express them in the correct ways so that we don't act out on pent up frustrations or fear or some other emotions.

Really makes me feel good knowing that there are people out there that are making a difference in the lives of children and adults too!
This man and his dojo are the subjects of an amazing documentary called THE CAVE OF ADULLAM and it just won Best Doc at the Tribeca Film Festival
I was very interested in this type of stuff. I follow the man Jason on social media. He seems like a good guy. I'm not one for seeing all these intimate moments filmed and put on display for views. And telling men to be more sensitive. That's just me. But he seems like maybe his heart is in the right place.
This guy is awesome. Just the coolest guy.
Nice work sir
Amazing.
