You can literally SEE on his face how much affected him back then, and how much it still affects him to this day. He's uncomfortable even talking about it, it's awkward and makes him uneasy. I can totally relate to that, I was bullied too, and it truly is terrible. It changed me as a person for years, destroyed my confidence. The message is solid, if you're bullying people, STOP, it hurts worse than you can know. When I got out of the military I started lifting weights and trained some MMA with my friends and did some sparring. I wish I would have stuck with it more back then but I just wasn't at a spot in my life I could continue to do it. Now at the age of 39 I'm trying to learn how to box again, I don't have anyone to teach me but I've been training the best I can, and doing some sparring at the gym I train people at; it's AWSOME. The main message here is don't bully people, and if you ARE getting bullied, you need to learn how to fight and stand up for yourself. Go to a boxing gym, go learn MMA, go take some BJJ classes, anything at all like that, every man should know how to defend himself. You deserve to feel safe when you are walking around, or are in social settings, fighting will help immensely with your self confidence. :)

Super positive, don't bully don't encourage bullying , stand up for the bullied

I use to get picked on at school too, I never really told anyone how much it hurt me. I convinced my father to put me in Karate and sure enough it built my confidence to defend myself. Long story short I didn't get picked on anymore.

Hi Tony, my Son (12) is currently having a hard time in his first year of secondary school. Been using some of your videos to get him working out with me (new to boxing myself). Starting to build some confidence, hoping he will stick with it. Will show him the short film. Cheers for your honesty, with how much you share

I was bullied heavily in school for 3 years and as Tony said it can affects you for the rest of your life. I have a lot of insecurities and before that period of my life I had a lot of friends and I was a lot more extroverted. At the time I had a lot of economical problems at home too. I really don't know how I endure all of that as such a young age. Now I'm kinda a loner, I have a lot of trust issue and I feel insecure about myself all the time. I had a lot of dreams but I never had the confidence to achieve them.

I want to point out that adults are not really useful, my teachers knew the situation because a lot of time I burst into tears in class, but most of them looked away or feel sorry for me and that's it. I never told anything to my parents because as I've said, at the time, we had a lot of problems at home too.

I used to get bullied for being fat from a very young age all the way till i was 17 years old. From males and females as i got older it went from being fat to how dark my complexion is to my nationality. Thankfully i lost weight and learned how to defend myself but that part of my life has really affected my confidence in myself, i suffer from anxiety confidence and anger issues, always judging what people think of me. And im 31 years old now but bullying really affects people mentally its only at this age i realised that many of my problems are from my past, theres times i want to get revenge on the people who made my life hell but i see they moved on and changed but they dont see the affects of the bullying they did affected those who were the victims. Bullying really does change people forever.

I've been bullied, and also been the bully sometimes but the stinky shit said to me really did get me. But when i started boxing and LOOKING AT YOUR VIDEOS and learnt to fight, no one has ever dared to disrespect me in that sense ever. You changed MILLIONS of lives for sure tony, bless ya big man!

[janronsoneranista]

You deserve a million subscribers mate.

I’ve known you virtually in a year. And in a short period of time, I saw your kind and generous heart as well as a family oriented man.

Even your raw videos speak how good you are as a person.

You always motivate and inspire us with your kind words.

You even help us to earn more for our families. You deserve the best mate.

I started working out cause I used to get bullied in high school. I had a 6” growth spurt after high school and I’m now doing boxing, kick boxing, muy thai, and jiu jitsu. I don’t really get picked on anymore, but those years sucked.

[christianchaplin]

Thanks for sharing Tony, very emotional.
Reading through the comments, this story resonates with a worryingly large number of people.

[TheBlah]

Man as someone who use to fight this makes me a bit emotional as well. GOD bless brother.

[nikolikestheviolin]

I like how you’ve grown the channel and gained so many new subscribers. Keep up the hard work!

[Sluj]

My biggest regret is never training as soon as I started getting bullied. I never boxed, exercised, or train but I still wanted to be tough. No one was around to teach me and I couldn't afford Tae Kwon Do anymore. I just couldn't learn on my own. Now I'm training and boxing just as my lifestyle.

[SD_Canary_Corner]

Love your honesty Tony 💯
You’re a true champion 🥊
Endless respects Sir 🙌🏼

I got bullied for wearing glasses. I was 11 and in 6th grade. A bully who flunked and held back 2 years was 15. He pulled a knife on me walking through a field on my way home. He was a lot bigger than me, but I was trying to get stronger. I always had my backpack loaded with books to build muscle and clocked the kid in the head with my pack and he dropped. I took his knife and stuck it between 2 large rocks and kicked it until it broke. Kid never messed with me again.

[benjaminbilskie]

This video is great tony ! When I was 13 In the 7th grade I was a fat kid and I got picked on by the 8th graders and on the way home from school they would throw rocks at me and thank god I was at least 50 yards away from them and I remember going home and just feeling hopeless .... there wasn’t any martial arts schools around my area or I would’ve been there ! I feel your pain and now at 33 I’ve trained a bit of Muay Thai and Boxing and I’ll never compete but I am confident and it’s funny because all of those guys that did that to me couldn’t touch me now ! I am 100 percent against bullying and will shut it down in any situation! Thanks for the video ! This made me happy .

[genises]

Tony! Would you be able to make a video on a breakdown on Gennadys jab? Or how well Canelo got out jabbed? Breakdown of jabs are always great

[shaun]

Most of the time there's a deeper story with bullies, not that it makes it right, but majority of the time bullies are being bullied at home! Sad vicious circle, causes deep psychological damage! Boxing is good for self confidence for the bullied and the bullies.... you hardly see a boxer being bullied or even bully other people!

[rahulsawant]

Yes Sir ! Bullying is a serious issue, one which is ignored and becomes the main reason for today’s Gun Violence in school and events. Especially in school, a kid who has been continuously bullied since young age will have a mindset which will perceive Society as a Threat or root cause for his problems. Thus keeping a safe and healthy environment in schools is must protocol now schools should follow.

[aldavedesierdo]

I also got bullied not because of my appearance but because of my personality. I was a people pleaser and overall weak kid back in my days and i easilly get cry when i'm overwhelmed. But as i grew up and more exposed in the reality of life I understand that it's my fault for being weak and it's time to improve myself.
