James Vick is building much more than a reputation as the UFC\u2019s Texecutioner. He\u2019s building a legacy\u2014and it\u2019ll be tough to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Riding through some of life\u2019s chapters with a guy like Vick is rewarding. His desire, discipline and tenacity are remarkable, and his passions for fighting and hunting are equally impressive. He\u2019s unapologetic in the cage and in the woods. Fear and failure are not in his vocabulary, but desire, loyalty and friendship most certainly are.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n James Vick is building much more than a reputation as the UFC\u2019s Texecutioner.

Unfortunately, the sounder had been located near some tall grass and made it into hiding with lightning speed. The good news? Two bruiser sows lay motionless in the field. We trolled fields for hours afterwards, but a cold snap had all but stopped the hog activity. We soon realized that catching the sounder earlier was simply a right-place, right-time event. Fortunately, we did take another large sow a couple hours later, and still more hogs on the second night, including a wall-hanger of a boar with 3-inch cutters.

Like our Roewe Outfitters hunt, we both employed Pulsar Trail XP50 thermal riflescopes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n After several hours of combing crop fields with thermal monoculars, we spotted a boar less than 200 yards off the road in a ridiculously large mud pit that used to be a wheat field measuring roughly 1,000 yards square. We slid out of the truck, grabbed our rifles and filed in behind Corey for the quick stalk. Once we were within 50 yards, Vick and I fanned out and waited for Corey\u2019s countdown: \u201cThree, two, one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n At \u201cone,\u201d Vick and I fired, again simultaneously, resulting in two shots behind the boar\u2019s ear. It dropped where it stood. As we were just about to drag the boar out of the field, Vick and Corey stopped to scan the field. As quickly as they both peered through their thermal monoculars, they found two more hogs over 1,000 yards farther from the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We stalked the pair, readied our rifles and listened to Corey\u2019s countdown again. At \u201cone,\u201d we each fired at the two mature sows, and both dropped from single, well-placed shots. As we contemplated getting the two hogs out of the field, Vick located a fourth pig\u2014nothing hides from thermal imagers. All told, we killed four pigs and had them back at the lodge by about 2 o\u2019clock in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We talked quite a bit on the drive home <\/span>about hunting, his last fight and how the loss was foundational to his greater levels of grit, guts and drive to eventually steal away the lightweight title.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Riding through some of life\u2019s chapters with a guy like Vick is rewarding. His desire, discipline and tenacity are remarkable, and his passions for fighting and hunting are equally impressive. He\u2019s unapologetic in the cage and in the woods. Fear and failure are not in his vocabulary, but desire, loyalty and friendship most certainly are.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n James Vick is building much more than a reputation as the UFC\u2019s Texecutioner. He\u2019s building a legacy\u2014and it\u2019ll be tough to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First up was a family trip to Hawaii with his better half, Ada, a native Hawaiian, and their newborn son, James Jr., for much-needed family time and, yes, a hunt. Not one to miss an opportunity, Vick packed clothes, baby stuff and a looker of a rifle<\/a>\u2014his Phoenix Weaponry AR-15 chambered in 6.5 Grendel, complete with a chain-link cage finish. I\u2019m a bit jealous. It\u2019s badassery defined. While I didn\u2019t get to bump around Hawaii with him, he took a beauty of an axis deer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shortly after his return, we headed out to Roewe Outfitters to hunt with Jeff Thomason, the host of the Predator Pursuit<\/i> TV show on Sportsman Channel. This proved to be a perfect match, as the show was sponsored by Pulsar, and Vick is a member of Pulsar\u2019s pro staff. The hunt with Roewe Outfitters took place on large tracts of farmland near Haskell, Texas, a perfect location, since the drive up took us through Vick\u2019s sleepy, dot-on-the-map hometown of Olney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With our new friend Roger Roewe, owner of Roewe Outfitters, guiding and the sun slipping below the horizon, we headed out to scan crop fields with Pulsar Helion XP50 thermal monoculars. The hunt was on. Vick carried his LWRCI Six8-A5 Razorback in 6.8 SPC, I employed my own identical rifle capped with a whisper-quiet Silent Legion multi-caliber suppressor, and Jeff tapped his trusty suppressed Palmetto State Armory AR chambered in .308 Winchester.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Darkness had long since cloaked the rural Texas landscape when we found our first sounder rooting up a peanut field. Vick, Jeff and I slid out of the truck and followed single-file behind Roger. With a brisk, bone-chilling wind perfectly in our favor, we quickly closed the distance to a sounder of eight pigs. Roger stopped roughly 50 yards short of the sounder and fanned us out into a firing line. We set up quickly, leveled the crosshairs in our thermal riflescopes onto the pig-stacking spots behind the ears of the larger sows, and then waited for Roger\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNod if you\u2019re ready.\u201d We nodded, and Roger whispered our previously agreed-upon countdown: \u201cThree, two, one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n After \u201cone,\u201d we shot almost simultaneously, and two pigs dropped. Unfortunately, the sounder had been located near some tall grass and made it into hiding with lightning speed. The good news? Two bruiser sows lay motionless in the field. We trolled fields for hours afterwards, but a cold snap had all but stopped the hog activity. We soon realized that catching the sounder earlier was simply a right-place, right-time event. Fortunately, we did take another large sow a couple hours later, and still more hogs on the second night, including a wall-hanger of a boar with 3-inch cutters. Vick and Jeff shot in unison and leveled the brute. The hunt was one for the ages, and we\u2019ll definitely be coming back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n A couple days later, Vick and I pulled up to the Three Curl Outfitters lodge. After a quick bite and good conversation with one of the guides, Corey, we grabbed our energy drinks and rifles, jumped into Corey\u2019s truck and lit off into the sunset\u2014literally. Again, Vick carried his LWRCI. However, this time I carried one of my personal favorites, a Brenton Ranger Hunter in 6.5 Grendel. Yes, it\u2019s an AR-15, but it\u2019s ripe with rich, heirloom-type hunting-rifle looks, and it shoots just as well.

The Bas Rutten Self Defense Video<\/h3>\nSo what do we have for your today? The Bas Rutten self defense video has been around for years.

There are dozens of great one liners such as, \"Somebody's telling me that about my wife, I'm sorry sir, but I'm gonna' break your leg\"; \"He tried to kill me, so I gotta' return the favor\"; and our personal favorite, \"Heel to the balls.\"\n\nBas truly earned his \"legendary\" status.

So he knows what he's talking about.\n\nHaving said that, it's one of the funniest videos we've ever seen\u2014 partly because of the lengths he goes to in the bar fight scenario and partly because of his banter.

The Bas Rutten Self Defense Video<\/h3>\nSo what do we have for your today? The Bas Rutten self defense video has been around for years. We're sharing it today because we reference it all the time and a lot of you apparently haven't seen it. The above video is just a short version. It breaks the full video up into funny, out of context segments. You can watch the entire hour-long video on Daily Motion<\/a>.\n\nFirstly, the video, which concentrates on self-defense in a bar setting, is incredibly informative. Aside from his years beating the shit out of competition in the UFC, Bas has also spent time as a bouncer. So he knows what he's talking about.\n\nHaving said that, it's one of the funniest videos we've ever seen\u2014 partly because of the lengths he goes to in the bar fight scenario and partly because of his banter. There are dozens of great one liners such as, \"Somebody's telling me that about my wife, I'm sorry sir, but I'm gonna' break your leg\"; \"He tried to kill me, so I gotta' return the favor\"; and our personal favorite, \"Heel to the balls.\"\n\nBas truly earned his \"legendary\" status. Enjoy the video above, but also take the time to listen to what he says; there's a lot of valuable information. We recommend watching the hour-long version. Meanwhile, we'll work on getting Bas and our pal Pat McNamara<\/a> together for some epic shenanigans.","post_title":"VIDEO: The Bas Rutten Self Defense Video Is Still Amazing Years Later","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bas-rutten-self-defense-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:16:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:16:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/03\/18\/bas-rutten-self-defense-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":114706,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2014-08-08 11:30:50","post_date_gmt":"2014-08-08 15:30:50","post_content":"Warlord MMA and Fitness<\/a> -- a Big Spring, Texas-based fitness and personal training center -- is offering a free women's self-defense class on August 23.\n\nAccording to KWES<\/a>, Warlord MMA and Fitness founder Nathan Torres was born and raised in Big Spring, and he's seen the population increase along with the crime rate.

So he knows what he's talking about.\n\nHaving said that, it's one of the funniest videos we've ever seen\u2014 partly because of the lengths he goes to in the bar fight scenario and partly because of his banter. There are dozens of great one liners such as, \"Somebody's telling me that about my wife, I'm sorry sir, but I'm gonna' break your leg\"; \"He tried to kill me, so I gotta' return the favor\"; and our personal favorite, \"Heel to the balls.\"\n\nBas truly earned his \"legendary\" status. Enjoy the video above, but also take the time to listen to what he says; there's a lot of valuable information. We recommend watching the hour-long version. Meanwhile, we'll work on getting Bas and our pal Pat McNamara<\/a> together for some epic shenanigans.","post_title":"VIDEO: The Bas Rutten Self Defense Video Is Still Amazing Years Later","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bas-rutten-self-defense-video","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 10:16:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 10:16:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/03\/18\/bas-rutten-self-defense-video\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":114706,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2014-08-08 11:30:50","post_date_gmt":"2014-08-08 15:30:50","post_content":"Warlord MMA and Fitness<\/a> -- a Big Spring, Texas-based fitness and personal training center -- is offering a free women's self-defense class on August 23.\n\nAccording to KWES<\/a>, Warlord MMA and Fitness founder Nathan Torres was born and raised in Big Spring, and he's seen the population increase along with the crime rate.
