I would love to check out his school, where is it located? I roll "super easy" with new students, but I would love this jerkoff to come by and "spar" LMFAO!!! Serious tho, I hate bullies where the hell is he located?

We've had black belts from the local TKD school show up to run their mouths. It's usually pretty funny, because they wear street clothes with their black belts over top of them. Only twice has it gotten physical, both times they started it: once one of my students knocked a guy out, and another I made one lay down real quick and they decided to leave.

I think the problem is that some people "belt up" too early and lose their humility.

Seriously?


Lmaooooo

How do you know the school sent him?

I'm curious too. Did you catch wind of this through other people or are you just presuming all of this? That would be pretty shitty if they actually sent their guys over for something like this.

The cross face is an interesting thing. Though we use it liberally at my gym I've always thought that it was regarded as dirty pool, at most other BJJ gyms. Then I trained at a Gracie school and proceeded to get crossed faced to death. Face pressure and using pain to control your opponent is a vital part of grappling especially when you don't have a gi on and you can't threaten a collar choke to open up your opponent.

It usually isn't a big deal, I mean if I'm getting my open eyeball smashed, or some other unbearable part of my body, then I just tap and reset the position. I mean it's training, you can stop and start whenever you want. Just tap.

I seriously spit coffe out my nose! People need to learn "self" confidence is what gains the respect that sooo many look for/need. Stupid behavior (like the above statement on wearing their belts over their street clothes) will never garner more than pity...

Ik they sent him over cuz he said, hey I'm from this gym and I was gonna be in the area so they told me to hit u guys up. Which is y I assumed nothing bad. I also know now that he doesn't cross train. That gym has sent people to other schools in the past to do the whole we're better so we're gonna prove it thing, so that's y I think its a Lil weird that one of their best grapplers shows up, unannounced, and challenges me n my couple guys who just happen to be flying colors. I mean there were more of my guys there, but they weren't wearing anything 10p and didn't say anything and he didn't even acknowledge them.

But I could be wrong, maybe it was accidental or w/e. I don't stereo type Gracie gyms or anything, I've been at this for a while so I know it's not like that everywhere. Just the things that happened all point to it.

In the end it was ok tho. Shortly after we were done, one my guys hit the calf crank from the truck n the Guy was done. Although I'm sure his gym will never hear about that

Bill: Downtown Madison. It's called Taylor's Tae Kwon Do. Stop down sometime. He'll charge you $80+ a month to break boards and point spar, then you pay an additional $60/month in test fees for all the strippey belts.

I doubt that the teacher sent them to be jerks, but he certainly doesn't curb their behavior. There was a kid that got recommended to our school because he was getting bullied. He went there by mistake and after two weeks the teacher told him to go pick a fight to see how he does. Poor kid got beat up pretty good, and even though he quit down there he won't give any martial art a try now.

I have some students who go to school with people from that... "dojo." Some of them are known to wear their belts to school. As in, high school. Sans gi.
