......so im chillin at the gym, as usual, and this kid comes in. smaller guy, says hes from another gym, yada yada. so he spars a little with a couple of the guys, then proceeds to ask me to roll. let me just state that any time someone under 170 comes in and has even a decent amount of experience im down to roll anyways being that im a solid 145 on a heavy day. so we start on the knees n everythings going smooth. im being easy with him since hes new etc. so im working from my guard, end up getting a teepee and its tight. like i said i really was goin easy with him, even squeezing the teepee gradually from 10 to 50. the kid stacks then takes the trapped arm and starts digging into my cheek and jaw, moving up and down using alot of force. which is dirty but its w/e, no biggie. so i squeeze at about 90%. as soon as the pressure is applied he moves his elbow up to my temple and begins smashing my temple with the tip of his elbow, at this i up kick him off, try to stand up, cant, and almost black out.

next day i go to the doctor n he says its a slight trauma. come to find out this kid has won a few tournaments and is 5-1 as an amateur mma fighter, and trains at a gracie school which has already expressed their negative feeling towards the system.

so to sum it up, basically they send this kid over, tell him to roll with any 10thp guys and smash them.

talking shit is dumb enough, but to send someone over to make us look bad and if it comes to it, injure us is too much.

im just wondering if anyone else has had this experience or anything like it?

[Isaiah Mendoza]

That's some seriously fucked up shit.

[Isaiah Mendoza]

please don't assume all gracie students are like this. I would never do something like that, neither would the guys I train with.

[Matthias Sieber]

Who would do that? Lame!

+1 for saying that.

There are schools that do stupid shit like that.
I've had the other schools in the area send their blue belts over, but I always roll with them.
After making them look dumb on the mat, it's always interesting to hear that they told their instructor how they beat me.
I always invite them back to prove it, but they never come...strange, huh?

[Max P.]

Dang, what a douchebag. I hope that guy was acting on his own stupidity. There's a chance that his trainer has no idea about what happened. They might dislike the system, but sending someone over to possible injure someone is insane.

[Taylor Culbertson]

The only thing you can do in this situation is invite him to roll again, and when he shows tie him up and savagely gang rape him.

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.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.
