I think every thing about this show looks absolutely perfect, except the bullies should have to get in the cage with Bas. No one hates bullies more than Bas.
The show looks fun, but it’s on MTV. I haven’t watched MTV since the late 80s. How does this show end up on MTV? What happened to music videos? Will I have to sit through 20 minutes of zit cream ads?
I wasn’t bullied in high school because I was the biggest, strongest guy in my high school. But as a nerd-jock hybrid, many of my best friends were chicken necked jokers whose sharp tongues often got them into hot water. I put out a bunch of fires for them, but it rarely came to fighting. OK, so I dented a few lockers…
Looks like a fun show
The late 80’s was about the last time MTV had music on it.
I don’t get bullied much, i just wanted to be able to kick ass.
this show looks awesome.
High concept. I hate goddamn bullies, probably the number one reason I got into LE. I’m DVRing the shit outta that show. I may even have my kids watch it.
I hated/hate bullies. I am more than willing to re-arrange bullies faces here on campus, problem is they seem reticent to fight me without their whole posse. That makes me wonder why they would be willing to fight a professional fighter. I guess the hope of 10,000 dollars is a huge motivator.
the problem with this show is I googled it, and found a bunch of casting calls for “bullies”. I think this is going to end up a great deal like springer or maury, with semi real stories and participants told to ham it up for tv. That being said I’ll still watch
Seriously, i’d fight a low-mid level pro fighter for 10g.
I mean, it’d have to be a guaranteed 10g, win or lose,
but then again, i’m not a stupid bully 
Nice, I was bullied in elementary school till I assault… bludgeoned… tested the durability of a lunch tray over my bullies head. But now I’m a normaly healthy individual who chokes people on a regular basis to mask the fact my daddy left…WHY???.. (ok so only the choking and elementary bullying are true.)
Forking oresom.
HA! I’ll watch this show for sure, I seem to fall into the same category as a lot of people here. I simply hate bullies, to see them get their arses whooped, that’s good viewing!
total success. +1 for the little guys

You KNOW there’s something wrong when his nipples are hard.
It’s true, that a lot of TMA shit is hypocrisy.
Looks like a fun show. I will probably watch it (with the help of the internets)
Anyway kungfu guy mentioned Steven Seagal, and there will be a reality show starring the dude-

You guys don’t understand to the full extend what kind of enormous potential this show has.
First season it’s bullies, later on we can see daddy’s who left their families, road ragers, rude waiters, and eventually even gipsy’s and jews!!!
There’s no telling where it will stop!
Maybe team up with date line?
’ Hi, why don’t you take a seat over there…take a seat’
’ Oh geez…im so sorry, im sick, i need help…’
’ You will, Brock? Would you get up here?’
’ Aah! who the hell is that?! he’s HUGE!’
’ This will only hurt for a minute…’
’ AARGH! nooo stoppp!! aargh…sweet jesus noooooo!’

Yeah, good point; that thing where they started trolling with jail-bait, could lead to dredging up all SORTS of bottom-feeders who are easily baited. Look out Jerry Springer, we got some REAL fights!

Actually, they lured the bullies to get inside a ring with money, wearing protective gear.
So yes- victory 
And usually calling big brothers to sort things out work well, I’m an only child but when I was a security guard on elementary school, a fifth grader bullied a girl, so one day her big brother (24 yr old) entered the school and slapped this kid silly. I stopped him of course and called the police, but that kid deserved it. (and yes, I think the big brother was an idiot, but still, the bully got some of his own medicine and I bet he didn’t touch that girl again).
wow, a slightly worrying trend. I started MMA because i liked it… but this still looks like an awesome show!
[quote=kungfu2u;2077514]This is a point in favor of TMA, i.e. the values of honor, discipline, and respect for self and others, as well as an overall code of peace through strength; I often worry that MMA and Bullshido goes too far with its avante-garde irreverence for TMA’s good philosophy, as well as its crappy technique. THAT’S what gives MMA a bad name, i.e. the anti-social mentality of fighting everyone and everything.
I see MMA more as a scientific test, but most of the guys on that UFC program look like real head-cases.

It’s probably mandatory to avoid lawsuits. They probably don’t wanna wear it, bullies typically have delusions of grandeur. It’s fun to see them hit reality.[/quote]
So there is no honor in beating the shit out of an adult, antisocial arrogant bully, forcing him to swallow a bitter dose of humility discipline, making them feel what their victims felt, and giving their victims some sense of satisfaction?
From what planet are you from?
MMA will get the bad name regardless, from people who do not understand it as well as sore so-called TMAers who can’t really cut it. It doesn’t really matter what they think. This will be like caring if a retard call you names.
You live in a fucking fantasy that TMAs live in a code of honor or peace. For fucks sake, look at the history of the countries from where most so-called TMAs come from, Japan and China. Peace and honor and civility my ass. Your notion of what TMA stands for is just a novelty, a recent invention that has nothing to do with the historical context in which whatever art you do evolved.
I think it was Osiris who said that it takes a special type of asshole to brag about humility and respect. I would add delusional and clueless to that description.[COLOR=“Silver”]

when people say they want “honor and respect” they mean they want someone to kiss their ass and treat them like theyre worth something in the dojo\school to forget the miserable pile of failure they are outside of it.[/quote]
I’ve agreed with most of what you said, but this one stuck out the most to me. I decided to leave my previous school for this reason.
I was helping out the instructors with a summer camp program they were doing. Well, one student in particular was known for an attitude and I was asked to supervise him. As it turns out, he was constantly being bullied by another student (a student that did have better technique than a majority of the kids, so it lead to feelings of superiority for him).
I mentioned this to the head instructor, stating that we should be more observent of bullies behavior.
So, the day continues on, where I had to pull the kid being bullied aside and give him a pep talk. Gave him the whole speech about bullies and their insecurities, and help train him with his techniques. Give a bit more polish to them.
Half hour later, he verbally stands up for himself against the bully after feeling like he was being singled out by said bully. So, the instructor in response to this, states for the one being bullied to take a seat.
Now, this wasn’t so much of a problem until he had all the other kids together and told them to pay absolutely no attention to the one being bullied. Stating that “he’s not a team player,” “He’ll never learn,” “Just don’t hang out with him.”
I was upset by this. Here I was trying to help the kid out. Cheer him up and teach him. Then the head instructor comes along and tells everyone to alienate the poor guy.
I pulled him aside, a bit more upset than I should have been (Kid reminded me of myself when I was younger) and had asked the instructor “What the hell do you think you’re doing? You can’t alienate him like that. It gives a very poor message to the others as well as just adds insult to injury for the kid.”
To which he responded that he was the head instructor. What he says goes. That I had no right to question. Then asked me to leave a once, he didn’t want to deal with me at the moment.
I come back for a few more classes and he tries to apologize through his lackeys. I was indifferent, said “Sure, whatever.” A little while afterwards, and I just left all together.
