Jesse “Bouncebackability” Robbins PTT: Positivity After Near-Death Experience

Yes, it is a real word.

Jesse “Bouncebackability” Robbins earned his nickname through a crazy life that nearly ended with a knife attack from a Russian methamphetamine addict in Phuket, Thailand. After nearly dying of blood (and teeth) loss, multiple stab wounds to the face and torso, multiple cracks from a fist with steel knuckle-duster attached, Jesse – remarkably – didn’t seek revenge against Crazy Ivan.

Jesse reassessed the way he viewed his life.

The story of the incident is a bit of a blur for Jesse but goes a little something like this:

A paranoid and steroid-fuelled Russian – who had not slept for many days due to usage of ice (crystal methamphetamine) knocked on Jesse’s door late at night. With Jesse and a friend in the room, he had come armed. There was no prior confrontation or communication. The Russian was a known heavy drug user and was in a serious state of paranoia and agitation. He had a large and sharp knife and knuckle dusters in one hand (fist) he struck Jesse quickly and hard before Jesse knew what was happening. Jesse’s friend in the room was so shocked he had a form of attack and was paralyzed with fear.
Jesse turtled up and defended himself with kicks as the Russian stabbed his legs, arms, nose, face, eye area and swung punches with the knuckle dusters, cracking Jesse on the face.

He then fled quickly as Jesse had managed to defend himself and kick back despite severe concussion and massive blood loss.

The results was a broken nose, slices across and through the nose, eye area, legs, hands and wrist. 45 stitches and multiple facial reconstructive surgeries and blood back into his body… Jesse had survived an attack that was intended to take his life.
