Imagine if they knew Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

To be fair, longbow-shooters were elite troops, not "dipshit farmers".
They were the best at the times!
But that doesn't excuse the disastrous military tactic of that day...

This. Also, those Longbowmen used melee weapons and shields, too, especially in Crecy and Agincourt.

I know! You can even tell the skeleton of a longbowman apart from a commoner! They picked up the bow at the age of 7, which hindered the fusion of parts of the shoulder blades, if I remember corretly. Only this way they were able to pull the strings all the way. They had to pull it all the way back, they couldn't even aim in todays manner. They had to shoot the thing so often, they could land a shot purely by experience and gut-feeling.
I think Henry III even said something like 'if you want to teach a child the longbow, start with his grandfather.'.
Absolute troopers.

Some UFC fight. Guy on the left is Daniel Cormier (UFC fighter) commentating, so you can narrow it down.
