belt ego

[oddball]

How do you cope with belt ego? we all have it and if you say you dont your lying. Non of us like to tap especially to lower belts but we need to tap to learn visious circle

Do you think training nogi has a lot less stress?

fuck you and your presumptions

[oddball]

" How can you be so obtuse? Is it deliberate? " ... please stop writing on my threads unless they are constructive comments not silly or abusive ones please david5

[david5]

stop making stupid threads then. you made one good thread which i tried to help with and you thought i was being obtuse then too.

[vileniall]

I have never EVER tapped to a lower belt.

and your threads are even shitter than "the last starfighters" 10,000 threads asking questions.

[Bakerr]

Just ban him..
Problem solved.

and he can come back on another account raging and we can laugh at him..

[Simon Hayes]

It really isn't neccesary to get tapped by lower grades to get better at Jiu Jitsu.

[oddball]

Really vileniall? I have to admit neither have I

Thanks Simon have you been tapped much by lower grades? I can imagine it must be vey hard being top of the food chain so to speak lol


I agree Bakerr david5 should be banned its obvious by his silly and abusive posts on this forum hes just a white belt and knows nothing about jiujitsu and contributes nothing but silly sarcastic remarks trying to ruin good threads. In fact I doubt he trains much at all, GRRR sorry guys and gals rant over

[david5]

they were talking about you, stupid noob

[oddball]

Surely an experienced BJJ practitioner would recognise high mount when they seen it in a video.

training no gi is less stress because you dont have to wash a gi.

[davids]

I thought the question was OK but oddball, David5 is pretty good.

[zefff]

Hhaha! The irony in the op's not a noob post!

[oddball]

haha no ones even commented about there ego funny that I am the only one to admit I have inner demons and have the courage to admit it?. Just remember when you tap to that lower belt the look he gives you knowing hes beaten you once and will try again, if he does thats it game over he will always think hes better than you dispite the belt colour, just think about the covo he will be having with his mates, I tapped a so and so this week and I bet a few people at your club will be talking about it HEY did you see so and so tap so and so the other day WOW! hes a shit.... what ever belt.

All this I have seen and done myself so I know it happens I just wondered how people deal with it. and yet you never get this stress with nogi its amazing.

SERIOUS helpful comments please. if you relpy with a silly comment you lick oldman balls, and have just admitted it publicly :p

What you explained above could transition just as easily to no gi. What if someone has trained for 3 years and gets caught by someone who has only had 9 months training?

In anycase with the last bit of your post you have confirmed you are about 11.

Good luck with your BJJ.

[The Choker]

Oddball by name, Oddball by nature!! ;)

[akiraB]

Speak for your self mate...My jiu jitsu is ego lesss to the extreame haha

Thank you although I dont really need luck my jiujitsu is very good

you sniff pants Poopyface

Why cant I just get some SENSIBLE answers? instead of old man ball lickers replying?.

[Luke]

Speak for your self mate...My jiu jitsu is ego lesss to the extreame haha

Same here. No point in getting lairy, it's just rollling. It's a learning excercise, not a cagefight.

[zefff]

Oddball, chat less & train more. Everyone has an ego yes - a sense of self worth, but you put it aside especially when you stop fighting against your sparring partners and start rolling with the flow.

Nothing wrong with having a massive ego IMO if u want and can back it up but in classes you will never see those glimpses of your potential when you have effortless flow through union with the sparring partner where you don't need to force technique because you both naturally arrive at the next one, you don't need to create the opportunity because when you are joined the next move is taken before your brain can engage. Those glimpses of the true essence of jiu jitsu are the moments that make the warrior smile more than any 'win' in the dojo.

good post.

i got choked by a 13 yr old student last week. I shit you not.
Maybe i should give it up all together as my ego cant handle it

[oddball]

There is a massive difference between allowing a person to tap you and being sumbitted my question was quite clear how do you deal with it?

[vileniall]

union with the sparring partner where you don't need to force technique because you both naturally arrive at the next one, you don't need to create the opportunity because when you are joined the next move.

bloody hell it's not marriage or tantric sex.

Speak for yourself!!! people do BJJ for different reasons....

[zefff]

How you deal with it? Train more.

[oddball]

Training more helps with your ego? kinda makes sence I know its sudden but zeff I think I'm in love with you :)

what is wrong with your head?

[oddball]

what is wrong with your head?

Sorry I dont understand you?

[zefff]

Oddball, Dont forget the 'chat less' bit too.

***1000th Post***

I was waiting for the perfect moment to use my 1000th post (sad I know but it's the little things).

This is possibly the best thing I've read in this forum and in a long time. 100% true.

I'm merely a white belt and I regularly roll with Chris Coltrane who could at any point crush me with sleepy eyed ease. He's an awesome purple belt and is the most egoless person I've ever met.

But those rolls where he lets me work and we just ROLL are the best rolls I ever have and I leave the gym taking away more from those rolls after tapping countless times than if I was to smash somebody and get 10 taps in 5 minutes.

And no, I've never tapped him.

"...those glimpses of your potential when you have effortless flow through union with the sparring partner where you don't need to force technique because you both naturally arrive at the next one, you don't need to create the opportunity because when you are joined the next move is taken before your brain can engage..." REAL TALK.

i lol'd so hard at this

[oddball]

Ego's a touchy subject within BJJ it seems I have opened pandoras box

" knew a girl at school named pandora, never got to touch her box though "

[Rob T]

I never realised one person could be so desperate for attention.

[zefff]

Lame trolls always are.

[oddball]

lame trolls are always opening pandoras box zeff? that made no sence?

[jackmcd]

His/her grammar is almost as good as some people who recently stopped posting.

[Luke]

Hmmm. I wonder who spells "Sense" as "sence".

[zefff]

When you address me, use 3 f's please. 'Sence' makes no sense so just stop making yourself look the fool. Foolishness like the stuff you spout is what drives people away from Cagewarriors forums and its a shame. People come here because they love combat sports not bullshit talk. You are ruining peoples enjoyment so fall back because you arent entertaining anybody, infact if you trained with me I would be cringing at your posts. Where do you train?
