There have always been posers in everything. Jiu Jitsu is no exception. There are student posers and even instructor posers. I feel that guys with less outgoing personalities can't really be posers in Jiu Jitsu. For example, my friend Brian Debbes has the personality of a wet sponge, but he puts it on the line despite his skinny ass frame and shitty back.
Always has been. They are everywhere and will continue to be as people just walk in sign up doing little to no research on instructors or schools before joining.Quote:

Would it be wrong of me to issue a challenge, beat the guy, and take over his school?
Posers can only pose for so long, eventually they have to roll. That's actually one of the really awesome aspects of Jiu Jitsu.
Yeah the truth comes out on the mats.
