dont you hate it when that happens...

[the count of monte cristo]

rolling with someone the other day and i could see he was getting fustrated and after said to his mates if you could punch then it would be different...

i felt like saying if you wana punch then put some gloves on and ill do my best to hammer your nose into your brain..

i mean if you do jiu jitsu u know the rules and dont complain like your forced to do it. if you wana punch to mma or thai boxing.

when i get tapped even if it hurts a bit i always say well done or something because its not bout ego. I go to learn and be humble and i switch that 'maddness' switch off. but on the whole most people especially the purple and black belts are the most humble people yet they can probally handle them selves.

LOL

I know what you mean. Some guy said to me after I got him in mount he would bite me or go for my eyes.

I don't mind getting owned when I roll. Im there to learn not for a ego trip. I only get pissed off with myself when its my fault for gassing.

lol i know what you mean i dont mind getting owned because to me i think one day i will be like that level etc.. lol although it is funny when people get abit fustrated cus sometimes when your getting tapped over and over again and by the same move and you can see the glee in the other guys eyes..i shake hands etc and good loser but i think you f** *un*. lol but i guess thats what makes us get better.

the worst thing is when you been training for months and a begginer comes and taps you out lol but suppose we learn more when you lose than when you win

jokes hahaha

depends how mean i'm feeling, but if people do that then i have them (and only them put gloves on) and try and hit me, i then proceed to smash them and put them to sleep with the shoulder of justice and tap them with the knee ride of the damned

Had plenty guys on seminars coming out with all the 'I can hit you from here' rubbish - one of my faves was in Blackburn on a seminar and we were covering the mount and a Zen Kempo Ryu JJ BB piped up ' I can hit you from this position' as I was mounted on him.......

1 - I said there are no strikes in BJJ and
2 - be my guest and punch me as hard as you can

He then punched at my face and gift wrapped me a nice arm bar and he STILL wasn't convinced

As I moved on to the next guy, I could see him shaking his head and talking his training partner, still makes me laugh now and reminds me of the words of Winston Churchill, 'some people stumble upon the truth, pick themselves up and carry on walking.'

I remember doing randori in Judo with a dude who started talking about how he could strike my liver and kidney points (in my neck and about my head)

I spend the rest of the session trying to make him land on his.*



*I didn't really, I like the guy. I just wanted to sound all macho and manly and impress you all.

At my old BJJ club, we once shared a training mat with some Kali guys.
Perchance they were doing some non-stick grappling.
After watching us roll for a bit, the instructor, yes the instructor, calmly walked over to us and looked around then challenged one of our guys to a 'friendly' roll. My mate is very meek looking. The kind you would think, hmmm, he would lose easily. But we all knew that Mark was our best grappler by miles.
So we really enjoyed watching as Kali guy was caught with RNC after RNC after RNC. Mark was clearly in playful mood. Lucky for Kali guy, cos Mark could easily have snapped his arms if he wanted.
But do you know what?

Kali guy puffed his chest out, strolled over to his group on the other side of the dojo and - we think we heard - him talk about how he could easily beat the crap out of our man but he was holding back or something wank.
I mean some people just DO NOT GET IT!

A guy once said to one of our blue belts "I could easily knee you from here though" (when he was UNDER sidemount) and threw a soft knee. The blue belt replied "I could knee you from here though" and launched a full power knee to the guys ribs.
