I don't mean to sound like a cock (although I'm about to) but why do you think anyone would want to watch that?

nice little roll. who's the instructor?

[kneeonstomach]

I thought people might want to watch it as the forum is entitled Grappling and it is a clip of two people grappling.....hope that makes sense.

[david5]

You succeeded.
And before you ask, I'm the bloke who made the video.

Funnily enough when you run a club, one of the things you have to do is promote yourself to bring in new members.

And since it has had over 240 views, apparently some people do want to watch it.

[Emmet J]

For a start, 240 people viewing a post doesn't equate to 240 people viewing the clip, and even if it did mean they watched it, it certainly doesn't prove they gained anything from it.

In fact, I suspect quite a few probably watched it and then thought: "why do you think anyone would want to watch that?"

Which lead to my original reply (which I did in fact ask with a tone of humour so as not to offend) and to which a gentleman's response would have been:

"Well Emmet J, we have started up a new club called AFS in ******. The Instructor is ******* and he thought it might be good for people to see what sort of training we do there, so they can see if they might want to come down."

Otherwise we could all just post clips of ourselves hitting a bag or rolling entitled 'training at the club' and whine when people wondered why we were doing it.

Geez, like there's not millions of clips like that.
They are put up there more for the members of the club anyway - it's useful to see yourself rolling so that you can improve. But I see no harm telling other people about it. If they don't like or gain anything from it then fine, but the internet is a free place.
