It doesn't matter what Martial Art or program you run, there will always be those who challenge the coach for various fucked up personal ego reasons. They usually don't last long, and are filled with excuses.

Just make sure if you are the instructor that you move with him first. The last thing you want is for some challenger to have a little game and injure one of your students. Plus then you know who you can match him up with and who you can't. Don't be the instructor that passes those dudes off on your students for whatever ego reason you may have.

This is important. Has to be the instructor. As eager as the students are, it must be the instructor for safety reasons and for establishing the tone of class and rolling. This is a big part of your job as an instructor, handling anyone that walks through the door.

This shit used to happen way more in my first three years as an affiliate. Then it slowed right down as we began winning and medalling at every comp we entered.

In my first three years it was happening every week. We would even have national, no gi champions and MMA guys come thru regularly back then.
These days, people are more aware that we have our shit together and so the ones that come thru are pretty cool, but they still behave/show their egos with things like.."i need a break for a round.." because they are so gassed.......Funny thing is the entire class is still rolling non stop. Thats got to fuck with their heads for sure. A lot of them want to drop in to test themselves or the system and fail badly. The really good ones don't show at all, as they have their shit together and love rolling in their own schools. But the ones looking for a scrap will show for an ego stroke, then fail miserably just like the example from Barncat (you freak).

Heres my take on it.

If you treat them respectfully and just roll respectfully with them, they talk shit on you. .."Ahhh he did nuffin to me.."
If you smash them, they don't come back and they certainly don't say shit to anyone. But who wants them in their academies anyway.

So I say kill them with kindness then kill them on the mat. Works for me.
If they have any worth they might suck it up and continue which is so rare.

I have students all round Oz and I get stacks of txts about guys dropping in then leaving with their tails between their legs.

Its funny you know, you would think that it is a great thing to go visit a school and get whipped and learn something from it, but sadly, you only get the trash come thru, so thats why I always go for the kill, unless they present themselves in a cool way, but even then, I always go for the tap as quickly as possible and as often as possible, to at least make it a worthwhile experience for me. I mean who doesn't love fresh meat right? The best thing you an do is show your technique and not your temper.

I love this.

But as a member of a gym I was one of the dogs. When the owner caught the vibe, I was called to sic em'. As an instructor I also have complete confidence in several of my guys to put it on them. If he gives them a hard time, I roll with him. If he powns me I sic Jonathan or Jeff on him. If he destroys all of us, I make him a friend and training partner.
