My only problem with the video is the logic. How can you get up one more time than you've been knocked down?

I think they are counting the initial standing as 1 get up. Thus, if you get knocked down you have now gotten up one more than you have been knocked down. Which, unless you sleep standing, technically, you did get up.

Not to get in a pointless argument with you, but they're making it sound like get up as in get up from being knocked down. As in, get up from being knocked down one more time than you get knocked down. It just sounds better than get up every time you get knocked down.

This is part if a Japanese saying. They didn't make it up.

But pointless arguments are oh so much fun.

The Japanese said it, that settles it(?)

My point was that this is a saying that's been around for a long time. One shouldn't jump on the makers of the video regarding the logic of the saying just because one is distracted from the meaning.
