That is it!!! The Ultimate Self-Defense Championship season 2 is officially happening as it just now reached the financial goal!!! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ I can not express how much this means to me and how much each and every contribution meant. As I said in the behind the scenes video, few people believed season 1 is possible and few were willing to support it. But with season 2 now I see that I have your back and I am inspired to make it even bigger and better than season 1! Thank you again to all of you who supporter USDC S2 from the bottom of my heart.

The crowdfunding will stay open and will continue to be open for donations, and the more money we will collect, the more contenders we will be able to invite and the grander and better season we will be able to make by investing into more and better props, additional staff, better cameras, improved environments and an even grander and more epic zombie apocalypse! But one way or another, we are now 100% set to continue to make this show a reality!

PS: Now that season 2 has received enough crowdfunding to become a reality and as it's continuing to receive even more support, additional contenders WILL be invited! And the next contender to join the lineup will be an exciting one ๐Ÿ˜Ž

If you want to still continue supporting USDC S2 and see it earlier than everyone else, or to receive other perks, you will find the crowdfunding here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultimate-self-defense-championship-season-2#/

Thank you, Rokas. Iโ€™ve been following you for a long time now and youโ€™ve inspired me to begin my own martial arts journey. I canโ€™t thank you enough for everything you do. I am extremely proud of how far youโ€™ve come and I can honestly say you are inspiring.

The Warrior Dad says:

Is there a USDC channel or Playlist? I've been waiting to watch it so I can see it in its entirety. This would help in the future.

TyrannosaurusRector says:

This was an awesome project.There were some disappointing moments, likle Ramsey getting hurt, but learning for the future is the best approach. I am excited about seeing Ranton and Jesse Enkamp, and the idea about big athletic but untrained contestant is awesome. I hope that you can maybe get world's strongest man Eddie Hall sometime. This seems like the sort of project he'd love. Another person I'd love to see involved is the one and only Master Ken. He would have handled the knife challendge easily with Ameri-do-te and would hae reminded us to (as always) restomp that groin! I will be contributing to S2.

Adam J. Clayton: BodyGenius says:

It WAS the most bad ass video ever put to youtube, and it's also applicable to so many things. I'm using the "experiments" as a reference for a paper I'm writing about improving in flight security and how flight attendant defense training should be done on a retired aircraft to simulate the actual conditions with seats like you did with the bus. I'm also going to use your knife defense video (where every martial artist got stabbed numerous times) to advocate for "stab proof" body armor for flight crew.

This sounds scary, but the world is scary, and it's just a little bitty research paper so unfortunately nothing will likely come from it

But I was excited every week for the release of the next episode like it was Game of Thrones or something ๐Ÿ˜€ I'll be on that funding page soon

Agatha Knive says:

I loved this so much!

Chris Mcreynolds says:

Sorry I am late to the party for this one….
But I've loved the whole series

Firefox says:

This is the best thing anyone could've done for the development of real self defense. Especially knife defense. Pls continue

Sebastian Valensi says:

Never expected you edited the whole thing, incredible work man!

can k says:

Its crazy how they invited Ranton man its gonna be such a blast seeing him on this show I wonder how he'll fit in ahahahaha

baywest says:

Holy shit i did not realize you did all that editing yourself!!!! The editing was so good my first thought was, "im glad rokas hired some people to help with this editing" because there was no way i imagined you would be able to have that good of a production value and still release as frequently as you did.

baywest says:

Wow man. This series was just phenomenal. I feel like its on par with a great tv show/anime I binge watch.

Cesar Wetworth says:

SEASON 3 is going to be fire I love this ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚โคโค

Romanus Erdi says:

Congratulations for reaching the goal, Rokas! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ I can't wait for season 2.

Douglas Modena says:

You're an inspiration, Rokas! Great work, amazing journey! Thanks for sharing it with the world!

Good job Rokas. Good to hear someone from Baltics pulling stuff like this off. Greetings from Latvia ๐Ÿ™‚

Kode. [] says:

I'm sorry, RANTON?
Edit: ban you from Australia?

S x says:

The edits were incredible and I can't believe the facility is getting demolished ๐Ÿ™

S x says:

You have shown how amazing this was and I hope this continues to succeed

S x says:

So happy Jeff is better health wise, what an intense way to get this done

S x says:

Rokas I hope you participate in season 2

S x says:

Binge watched season 1, so damn good Rokas I'm really excited for season 2. I think this can get bigger and bigger

Happy M says:

I hope you continue to make a huge amount more to make this happen. This could honestly be huge!

Brandon kain says:

Out of all the stuff to watch….I think this was phenominal….every episode was great…

S x says:

Loving your channel and progress Rokas

Mark Widdows says:

You go bro, all the work, so worth it. One of the best youtube video I ever watched.

Seth Opitz says:

I enjoyed watching the USDC a great deal having spent years in the past practicing Wun Hop Kuen Do and Kung Fu and I look forward to future seasons; though I do hope you enact some changes to the challenges based on the experiences and feedback from the first round. For instance although the knife defense challenge was clearly indicative of the how difficult it is to defend yourself against a knife wielding assailant out for blood, it neither showcased the abilities of the competitors nor was it a very compelling competition compared to some of the other events. I'd definitely like to see round two reflect a lot of the commentary Ramsey in particular gave in his follow-up videos. Thanks for doing this, it was a lot of fun to watch.

Edgar Valles says:

Have you considered hiring an assistant editor? (Throwing my name in the mix)

Youโ€™re the man, man
