The Most DANGEROUS Man In The Room

- The moment people think you are the most dangerous man in the room, is the moment you become a little less dangerous. It is not about simply being able to hit your target, it is about never become a target yourself. Here in lies the mindset difference between a shooter and a tactician.

My dad always has told me. “There’s always someone badder / tougher than you. Always.” I’ll never forget that.
I got that same speech lol
Same
are you gonna live your life always feeling like you're a loser or you become that badder/tougher man
That's absolutely true but never under estimate yourself
True.
Dangerous people don't like to look dangerous. This is part of actually being dangerous.

The Japanese have a saying,
"A wise man always treats a stranger with respect"...
Best quote in this section. The Japanes culture is all about that respect for sure
Bible speaks up such as well.
James Ellis, you are in a class above..... Perfect quote for the times now, especially that some leaders are not good role models.👍🏼
@@dustinconnolly7258 Admirable example of Japanese respect was the rape of Nanking during WWII The only reason why they did't win the Nobel Peace Price was that the award was suspended during the war years.
Well... That is a pretty good saying...
I do have the very same philosophy..
A stranger.... You never really know who they are. Until it is too late..
Treat a stranger with respect..
Like my instructor told me.” Don’t fear the loud mouth bully. Fear the kid that sits in the back of the room and doesn’t talk to anyone.”
Very true
The quiet ones are usually quiet for a reason
That was me for a long time
you learn that in the military its always the quiet guy
I am the quite one and here I am thinking about scenarios of defending my class against 2 armed perps. Stuff like that rarely happens in my area, city or state even, but something bothers me to stay prepared.
I'm still disappointed in that one guy that said "That's (the quite guy) the school shooter, lol"
My dad always told me to look for the guy who sits in a corner facing the entrance of the room and he will probably be the guy to help you

A man who uses a sword but choses to keep it sheathed will inherit the world
Jordan Peterson
You mean hit people with your scabbard?
@@DoubleplusUngoodthinkful no it means not hitting at all.
A person who is truly good must be able to commit bad things, otherwise he wouldn't BE a good person, he'd just be a person who's UNABLE to do bad things which means he is weak .
"He who uses a sword " - meaning he is powerful and can hurt anyone with that sword. Here the sword means terrible things.
"But chooses to keep it sheathed "- means that even though he has a ability to hurt others and perform all those malicious actions, he does not because he chooses not to, meaning he IS A GOOD PERSON.
I hope this clears it up for you.

A Silent Dog never announces when and if he will bite. A Barking Dog has told you what his intentions are thus giving up all his advantages.
I had one of those dogs once. It was unnerving how long he could wait for a child to get close. Fortunately we figured it out, unfortunately he had to go down. Seems he was chained at the previous owners house, around some bad little girls. Sad all around.
@@waynehendrix4806 That makes me sad, An otherwise good dog, turned into something else by bad previous owners.
In my opinion there are no inherantly bad dogs, only misstreated or missunderstood and badly trained ones.
Most of my dogs have all been quiet untill it was time, then they were the force that you never want to meet. They never start trouble, but by hell they finished some :)

I never knew a tough guy that had to tell me how tough he is.
That’s the truth.
I agree. Real tough guy has respect. He has nothing to show.
"I never knew a tough guy" that part could be true. I know many and people love bragging. Less movies guys and more stick to reality.
Love the reply by John Wayne in Rio Bravo when asked if Ricky Nelson's character was any good with a gun - I think he's good enough that he doesn't feel the need to prove it.

"When things get out of control and everyone around you is screaming and losing their minds, look for the quiet one and stick to him. He's fixing to cut fence and sort some bastards out."
This is really similar to the "Grey Man" tactic. It's basically not telegraphing your skills or abilities by blending in with the general public rather than sticking out as some Tactical High-Speed/Low-Drag Operator in case the SHT hits the fan.

I was stationed with a Navy SEAL who enlisted in the Army out of high school and became a Green Beret, where he did two tours in Vietnam. After he got out of the Army, he went to school at San Diego State and went to Navy OCS after graduation. Then he became a SEAL and did another tour in Vietnam. LT Duclos was about 5'10", 175 lbs., didn't say much but the look in his eyes told me he was the baddest cat in the room, wherever he was.
Go Navy !!!!!!
I've had first hand experience. Worked for a Marine Colonel who had been there and back repeatedly. A complete gentleman, refined, soft spoken. He carried himself in such a unique way, I can't even describe it. You knew, if all hell broke loose at any time, he'd survive, and many others would die. Incredible leadership skills and the kind of guy you'd go to battle with. I'd say for, but you knew oddly, he'd not be hiding in a bunker, he'd be on your left flank, all the way. I've great respect. These are traits that you can't manufacture out of thin air, they come from a lifetime of living through extremely challenging situations.
@@TheJacklwilliams Very well said. I think you only learn those things in the military and then having experienced them first-hand.
@National Christian Constitutionalist Party what example of even force v force battle can you provide....
@National Christian Constitutionalist Party infiltrating an enemy compound, that sounds like a perfect example of an even force v force comparison. So how many were on each side and how many were killed from each side?
You can tell a lot about a guy/dad by listening to how he talks to/treats his kids. It was just a small snippet at the end there, but by that you can tell that his guy is quality.

I did bar and nightclub security for about 5 years. I adopted a sixth sense about who was actually dangerous.
At the same time, it's like that line from Roadhouse. "Never underestimate your opponent, expect the unexpected"
Confidence is silence, Insecurities are loud.
"Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak" Weakness is the greatest deception in battle.
Sun Tzu?
I started concealed carrying about 7 years ago, and I thank God that I never once thought “OK, now I’m the most badass guy in the room.” I’ve always had this weight of responsibility on my shoulders, and even to this day that is the case. This is especially true because now I am married, and my wife’s safety is the single most important thing to me. So if being “grey,” is the way to go, if not looking like a threat is the best way to ensure A.) her safety, and B.) my ability to not be the first target so that I have the ability to protect her and others around me, then I am OK with that. Great video.
In the army they thought me that no matter how hard you train, somewhere out there, there's somebody better than you.
Damn Skippy👍
I had a little dude come to my squad. Nice chill little dude who you would think would fall over if he farted to hard..But during combatives, little bastard busted out a sharpie and geared me up with about 15 pokes in a matter of seconds😂I looked like a damn finger painting with lines and shit everywhere before my butthole had time to pucker...and all he did was shove his hand my face and go to work with the improv shank.
Kid DEFINITELY schooled me QUICK, but I loved the dude for the lesson he taught me🇺🇲
I mean that’s just life
Imagine they saying that to the guy that's actually better than everybody😅. I mean, someone has to be the number one in something.
That's just common sense, you don't need to join to know that 🤣
At 3:15 is a great quote: "As soon as you are pegged as the most dangerous man in the room you have just become a little less dangerous." So true. I love it! As the Japanese say: "The empty drum clangs the loudest."
Reminds me and my buddies playing risk. They know I've won the last 10 times in a row so they target me as soon as they can.
"The people that have the biggest potential to be dangerous are those that you least expect to be dangerous."
This is how Psychopaths operate as well. You wouldn't expect anything until it's too late.
They may express little emotions, but challenge them and you'll be in for a heck of a surprise.
This is a fact ^^^^
People with the most potential to do, spend less time talking about doing.
(•̀ᴗ•́)و
my uncle called one of his brothers a sociopath and me a psycopath and i wonder why he called me that i express little emotion but sometimes i exaggerate it and i cant really conntrol myself so good in situations i know are uncomfortable for me so i might expode with fury and once that happens i stop caring about what others think of me but seeing them still existing does bother me i still dont see how i am because that was me so long ago. i dont think im that boy now, im a man of 20, i guess i still have child like mentality but i think my optimism of naiveness is gone its only really optimism and courage now.
Awesome points you make. One of the biggest disservices a parent can do is to warn their children of "stranger danger lurking in the dark". Anyone with half a brain cell realizes that scenario. Conartists, sociopaths, etc are many times charismatic, friendly, etc. They appear to be weak and nonthreatening until it's too late. Huge amounts of crime are committed by "trusted" family members and "trusted" friends.
I was always told that "Youth and Enthusiasm are no match for Old Age and Treachery"...
This excites me about getting old
My Dad used to say, "Walk softly and carry a big stick" He also said everything you say here.
It's speak softly....
Roosevelt said that about our foreign policy.
They obviously changed that policy lol
Teddy Roosevelt: "Speak softly, but carry a big stick". DJT also followed that policy, kept us out of war.
@@investbo he didn't start any new wars. I meant U.S. foreign policy in general. DJT spoke very loudly to remind everyone that we aren't going to get taken advantage of. Sometimes you need that too lol

Everybody low-key watching this thinking “it’s definitely me”
It's a good feeling when people underestimate you.
I think we all have had our moments of being the dangerous man in the room so there’s no denying everybody thought that. What I did think more was how can I be that person again at will. That’s what’s important
First, know yourself in truth.
Yeah your probably right☺️

Being underestimated IS my superpower.
Same here, in my personal opinion of course. I am a small, quiet, patient, intelligent, and prepared man. I love it when I know someone has underestimated me... puts me on a pedestal above them (figuratively of course)every time, every situation in my life. I myself try to never underestimate anyone. I have a 10 year old daughter who knows how to bring me to my knees(physically), because I have taught her how and trained with her since a very young age. Not only does this make her safer when I'm not around, it makes ME understand more to NEVER underestimate another person in any situation. Stay humble, patient and prepared and figure everyone around you is in the same condition. Pay attention and don't mistake kindness, patience, gender or size etc as a weakness.
I hate being underestimated, but it has its uses in extreme circumstances.
Anyone that has true situational awareness knows who the hard and soft targets are. It’s very easy to see this guy just by the way he carries himself. But he is very right about being caught off guard. No matter how good you are your guard can never be up 24/7
I witnessed something very similar many years ago. In this case, it was a horribly wounded, disfigured, old Army veteran more than 70 years of age. I was shocked to learn later how skilled he was in martial arts as well as his service to our country in both World War 2 and in the Korean conflict. We can so easily underestimate a man. A lesson learned for me. He was a good friend.
I admire how you include family in your work efforts. Many men push away wife and kids and stay on topic when they are "interrupted", but I personally find that dishonorable. I always expect the man to stop talking to me to attend to his family. A good man will drop a conversation mid-speech, say "excuse me", and drop to his kness to give necessary attention to their most important (little) ones. Good example! Keep up the good work.
I've always told new gun owners, conceal carry, otherwise, you could be the first target if you open carry
Oh man everytime my wife and I see someone open carrying we talk about that lol. She thinks it makes you a hard target and I say if I'm a bad guy fixing to attempt to take control over the room, open carry guy will be first to die because there's no guessing if they are armed. I'm going to take them out 1st.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels this way about open carry.
If you are at an event where Everyone is open carrying is a statement ,that's an altogether different thing from being the only one open carrying in the drugstore at 9:00PM.
"It's about never being a target in the first place!" EXACTLY!
"i still haven't recovered from the savage beating I received from the girls soccer coach" lmfao this is priceless
no joke!!
I have received multiple beatings from Mr. Lopez.... all while explaining to the rest of the class what he was doing to me. A truly bad dude. Thanks for the video and the reminder.

Exactly.
You said it
Byron Schroedel wrong saying a man with something to loose has something to fight for someone with nothing witch isn’t you or any one in this comment section has nothing to fight for try to beat up someone with kids in the car then try and beat up a homeless man
If you insist.
@@iamevil8582 Also, you missed the point completely.
Brilliant lesson. The quiet ones who avoid engagement, are often the most dangerous. Push to far, learn that the hard way! Have seen it a few times, out of someone you never would have guessed was that good at violence. Underestimating is a mistake that can leave a person unprepared. Split second is all it takes!
I give this speech a big thumbs up!
This is my favorite channel. Truly grateful for all you do!
Everything you said, and you said it so clearly, is everything I've been taught and continue to learn. Your channel is great, you cover so much. I even agree with the "King Leonidas" beard.
I also knew when I read the title, before I clicked on it, that this was going to be the subject matter and its a great lesson for those who might not have heard it before, and a great reminder to those who have heard it before.

"Be underestimated". I like that one.

I respectfully disagree I fight hardest when I know I have something I'm fighting for
@@themann795 I was not actually referring to fighting, I was referring to being dangerous, two different issues in my view👍
@@cat637d being dangerous goes to fighting also.
@@ight2060 I stand resolutely by my earlier comments. The ability to engage in physical altercation is largely a physical skill, being dangerous is overwhelmingly a state of mind with a smattering of muscle memory. I suppose this discussion really centers upon the specific meaning of "Dangerous" however!
@@cat637d Hmm let me give u example friend. in wars if people have something to protect it boosts their morale, for example they wont escape a war when that war is to defend a city protecting their family and friends. But yeah having nothing to loose is also very good, because u think like "whats worst thing thats gonna happen" and therefore you fight good. Idk tbh which is better but in wars the formal (first one) is definitely better, idk about casual fights.
Solid philosophy. Thank you, Warrior Poet!

Agreed about the open carry.. absurd to show your hand, and make yourself a target.
But, I will continue to open carry.
It would be better if everyone open carried, then you would not be special
Even Rambo can be taken down by a lead pipe in the right circumstance, which is the reason experienced folks avoid situations as much as possible until there is not other choice.

I guess the line starts here lol I'm a technical trainer, its my bread and butter. I train people on best practices in service management, and just watching his command of the room is captivating. He's knowledgeable, but more than that it's a passion for his craft that comes accross effortlessly. I'd bet a fat roll of cash that his classes are a ton of fun and you walk away feeling that it made a huge difference. Doesn't seem like he takes himself to seriously, def someone you could have a beer with, or hangout with etc... Watch this guy's channel explode in the next year or two. He can go from a very deep topic, to light conversation without ever losing track of the topic. Good stuff.
L. G. wow..I bet you'd fall on your knees really quick to service this ex cop trash.
Have watched this one more than once. Great advice and direction, John. Thanks, brother. ✝️
I always come back to this video, and I'm glad that you didn't take this down. Because, I want a constant reminder of what being a protector is.
The second you underestimate your opponent you have already lost
I'm a disabled woman and it's so, so difficult to not be that target. I never block my hearing with headphones, I'm always on the move in a get-in-and-get-out manner when I'm out and about, and I don't stop for anyone! Triple threat personal alarm, small can of hairspray, and I keep my handbag heavy enough to give a solid crack should the need arise.
I also have an extremely heavy six wheel powerchair and that thing is a behemoth of a weapon, as some random opportunist found out one day two years ago. I was outside the pub having a smoke after my dinner (Sunday roasts at the Queen's Head will leave you full for a year), and I didn't realise there were a couple of students standing behind my chair, staring down my top.
A good man stopped his car and his wife shouted out of the passenger window that one of the students had a phone in his hand. Well, Behemoth got switched on, speed jacked up to its 10mph and straight into reverse I went. I kept smoking my cigarette as I reversed into him three times.
Job done.
Well done Jude, teach those punks for being rude... WOW! I'm a poet and didn't know it!

Good for you.
Thank you so much for everything you do. Always great information.
I watched this video about a month ago and found it interesting, So after listening to you and becoming much more aware about situation awareness, I started closely checking out my environment and trying to figure out who was the most dangerous person in the area. My basic gun safety instructor started off our class saying "I know yall are disappointed because I'm not Rambo but,," I did some research on him after class and he is and has been a legend in gun training here in Texas for the past 40 years. After seeing this tall lean elderly cowboy handle his guns, when I was in the room with him, I knew who the most dangerous man in the room was.
Great story and tips. I remember being stationed in Europe and some soldiers don't realize that we stand out in the crowd. It's hard to enjoy the place and be on the lookout as well all the time

Spot on. Also is realizing you may not be the most dangerous, even if you likely are. Feeling like you are puts your guard down. I like to stay on perimeter, don't say much, never underestimate anyone. That's Mr. Lopez, I love that story.

I've been in the personal security and training side of things since I got out of the army; over the years, I've learned to read people by how they walk, talk, move/ gesture and how they look around. The stress they put on their words when they talk tells a lot as well.
Nice name
I'm autistic and I have adhd, which seems to be something that gives off "wrong signals" as in I'm usually picked out by border control for more specific control while they are actually just losing their time with it. Dunno what it is. Or is it that autistics are just by nature capable of being more dangerous than neurotypicals and guards can see that while we are even not up to anything but a holiday trip?
that last sentence is great
Been following your channel for a very long time. And this is one of the best videos ever. It gave me a better perspective.
I truly admire and respect men like you. I so miss my youth and peak confidence years (US Army Combat Arms/24th ID RDF, 1982-1988) that you were/are in during this video recording session. Thank you for your service. I just subscribed and am catching up on your vids. God bless America and all of her HONORABLE vets and citizens. ;-)
I was in a reform school when I was a freshman in high school and they had security and the leader was about a 5'2 50+-year-old man who I thought I could take and easily found out he was a 7th degree black belt and old army MP. I'm about a good 6'1 and he picked me up and dragged me down the hall like i was a 3 year old.
haha! BEWARE the little guys - j/k
yes, beware the little guys. ever wonder why you are told to get low in a stance. Leverage. Get inside and low, then explode. big guys can't throw an effective strike perpendicular to the ground. when they step back to punch, or circle to an off balance position, thunder. You know, that ACDC kind! LOL
Good luck with those ideas. UFC is separated by weight for a reason.
Lol great story
"Yeah, I can take him."
An hour later in the emergency room... 😀
Man I fully understand exactly what you just said. 8th grade, I’m pretty athletic,think I know everything,not outgoing but thought “ thought” I could handle most situations. I walk into history class, Mr. Dempsey, quiet red headed teacher with a damn good beard. I had him figured out. So he asked what we knew about Poland. I raise my hand and give my best smart assed joke..” the Germans took over Poland so easily because they marched in backwards and told the pollocks they were retreating”. He smiled, walked over calmly, and said that in his 2nd...2nd tour in 1968 that a new guy said a similar joke before an operation in the Mekong Delta.A veteran polish guy in the platoon beat him within an inch of his life.He missed the next 2 ops.I was stunned, didn’t even know that Mr. Dempsey had been in Vietnam.When class let out I happened to be the final student going out the door. He looked up and asked me if he knew what his heritage was. I responded that it must be Irish or Scottish. He said these exact words to me...” no son, I was the only pollock in the platoon”. I didn’t speak out of line again.
Danny Reeves Hwooowhh...maan! Thanks for sharing your story! That must be quite some awkward hair raising moment happening there! This guy is so scary, he described himself beating someone to a pulp from a third person perspective!
Then, on the other hand, you have a film like Full Metal Jacket (and other war films) that shows the DI and grunts engaging in rampant racial, ethnic, and sexist putdowns in the name of egalitarianism.
Dempsey is bragging-no need to tell who he was.
@Danny -- Great story, and then 2 of the 3 replies to it are idiotic. Internet SJWs...
Floyd Maxwell that’s funny... SJW’s was the first thing I thought when I saw them myself.
Recently found your channel, your content is very informative and makes sense. Thanks so much! Much respect.
Great content sir. Very well spoken and articulated.
Well, with over a million views you’ve definitely lost the element of surprise.
Thugs and lowlifes don’t spend their time watching educational training and philosophical tactics videos online. I’m pretty confident in saying John is in the clear. 😄
lmao!!!! but would you fuck with him?
During my time in law enforcement, one of the key bits of wisdom repeated constantly by senior officers and trainers was "do not underestimate people". The majority of guys I spoke with said their most vicious and dangerous perps were not the big hulking meat heads but the guys you wouldn't expect, many times smaller or skinnier than the officers they're fighting. Society still obsesses over size and thinks that merely being big is the end all and be all.
I'm a short guy so I'm always underestimated. I gained a reputation in the police academy and after as being a little beast so my peers knew of my ability but in public, people see me as a short, slightly chubby Latino.
+John Doe truth
John Doe. Strength is not determined by size, but by genetics, training, and health.
True, some smaller guys are very strong and tough...
it's always a front snap kick for them, i dont bother with anything else
strongest person I ran into on the street was a 105lb methed out lady attached to the front of a bus. took 5 of us to pry her off.
John Doe Richard kuklinski the iceman serial killer was 6'3 300lbs psychopath
Definitely one of the BEST videos I have ever seen.
Great information keep up the greatness 💪
Want to be the Most Dangerous Man in the Room, go in there by yourself.
Lol
It also makes you the LEAST dangerous man in the room.... it averages out...
@@root1657 Stop it, you're crushing my ego!
Situational awareness... Keep your eyes open. Know your surroundings. Look at people in there eyes... love the vids. Great content and knowledge
Wise advice... Fantastic content you have here
Truly powerful people are the strong, silent type. They are self-confident and don't need to advertise it. My friend (who is 71 years old) told me that his father had served in WW II and that his father told him that the guys who talked the most about the war were the ones who were the furthest from the actual combat.
100% about the strong silent type. & Shout out to your friends father for serving! I appreciate his service 🤝🏼
So damn right.
-The loudest one in the room (including visually loud) is the weakest one in the room.
-Just because someone is jacked af doesn't mean they can fight.
yep!
halfrightface
empty vessels make the loudest noise.
halfrightface or can't
I would say if you walk in a room and cannot spot the weak link inside 10 seconds then its probably you.
halfrightface joined a new school last year and ive been doing taekwondo for past 12 years 3rd degree bb. well known bully targeted me (new and short) also im never violent unless provoked. he made fun of me in front of everyone, i jus let it go when i was about to leave school, he went to swing for me. i blocked and backkicked him in the jaw and dislocated his jaw. lets just say after that day he didnt try targetting me :)
"He looked at me, I looked at him and we both knew...that woulda been over"! Great story, by a great story teller!!
I like to present myself as "That guy isn't worth messing with." Thus my standard hobo look.
Are you calling yourself Luke from A New Hope?
The less you have to lose, the more dangerous you are.
E drop You have the right answer ... “It is the person who has nothing to lose”. The rest of this is nonesense and make believe.
Yes people don't value being alive like they used to. Played too many video games where if you die just push a button and you are back playing. Folks in real life it doesn't happen that way. 99.9% of the time if you are dead it is end of game no more playing ever.
The most dangerous man is the man who has nothing to lose! Very true, seen it in combat.
@rottencactus28 some night say more dangerous as to protect their importances
So true!
