@Wrangler wants the followers of Jesus to turn to (and into) Vlad the Impaler. Violence is the only means of defense he wants his readers to consider, ignoring what Chambers calls “our first line of defense” - prayer.
In part 4 of the video, the speaker recommends that Christian men join a “BJJ dojo.“ Do you know, do you understand, what that is @Wrangler? It doesn’t fit with your thirst for killing your enemy.
Is Brazillian Jui Jitsu (a martial art) designed to kill enemies? Google it.
As for the martial arts, what is their religious origin? Do you know?

Dang, I prefer the name "Gracie jiu-jitsu". I wish it had stuck.

When you force your opponent into submission, it's "Say goodnight, Gracie".
The speaker in the video urges men - not women - to be dangerous. He knows that followers of Jesus includes women.
“You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” - @Wrangler
Does the speaker agree with and share your teaching? He doesn’t in the video.
The speaker stresses that he wants followers of Jesus to be harmful.
Does Jesus instruct his followers to be harmful? That question keeps ringing in my mind.
“Be wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.” - Jesus
How harmful are harmless doves?

I’ve watched the video around half a dozen times now. No mention of Vlad. No mention of Muslims. No mention of killing enemies. No mention of joining the military. No mention of guns. No mention of women and children except as victims / potential victims of violence.
Does the speaker mention those things in other videos? I don’t know. He might. His target audience in this video is Christian men.

Grappling. The video in post #1 is advocating grappling.
How we got to “vlading” (I know that’s not a word defined in the dictionary; I’m coining it -> definition: to treat one’s enemies as Vlad the Impaler treated his enemies) is because @Wrangler, not the speaker in the video, led us there.
“Grappling” (consult a dictionary for the meaning of the word) isn’t “vlading”.

Did Vlad the Impaler practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
AI Overview answers -
“No, Vlad the Impaler did not practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Vlad III Dracula lived in the 15th century (c. 1431-1476), long before Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was created in Brazil in the early 20th century. He was a 15th-century ruler of Wallachia who fought using medieval warfare and weapons, not modern ground-grappling martial arts. The only modern overlap is that some grappling positions or guards in modern combat sports are colloquially nicknamed ‘Dracula’ for visual reasons, which sometimes leads to online jokes or confusion.”
The constraints of history.
