is it wrong to check someone younger than you?

[Shannon]

hey guys, got some what of a moral/life lesson/ put em` in their place situation.

so, Is it wrong to check someone that is a little younger than you when they get cocky?

for the record i'm only 5'7 145.
my GF's younger brother is my 5'7 aswell and weighs about 165.
I like to think I'm very humble and respectful in jiu jitsu and life in general, I dont pick fights, but never back from them, nor pick on anyone or boast about any ability really.

however, my GF's younger brother is a High school football player and is really cocky.
ya hes slightly bigger than me, but this kid is so timid we're talkin about a kid that probobly only been in 1,3 maybe 5 fights at the most in his lifetime.

hes big for his age, and his parents pump his head and make him think hes the biggest *&^% in the world. The thing that PI***s me off is he gets cocky and thinks he can beat me and he strokes his ego by tryin to push me to theside with a hand instead of bein respectful and sayin a simple, excuse me or scuse me bro.

Its gotten to the point where i've told my GF that the next time he wants to play that game, i wont care if their parents are there or not, I'm gonna check him real quick and choke his *** out.

However, **Would it be wrong to check a kid younger than you thats your size, even though they deserve it?**
my thoughts say ya, dont be a d*&^ for no reason to anyone, let alone someone who may be your future inlaw.

Anyone agree that its perfectly fine to check em`

I say its not right to choke a guy out, off the mat, for being a dick, no matter the age. I think its immature and cobra kai-esque (from karate kid, not the gym in vegas) May just me but I say keep your ego in check, and your skin thick and beat him with class. Now if you were to get him to drop in at a class at your gym then crush him all you want.

i know its wrong and against my moral to choke him off the mat, but I eman i wouldnt do anything severe, just minor, establish position, sink a small choke or crank, and let him know like "dude, your being a douchebag, ya your big, but what your doin isnt cool,funny, or respectable."

just really gets under my skin, cause its been goin on for about a year now, Gf said she'd get mad if I snapped and yelled at him cause im not his parent. but i told her enough is enough, if he wants to get cocky and it gets bad enough, im goanna check him, I havent done anything to him cause every time im there at their house, im there for her not him.

plus, I've offered him the challenge of light sparring in boxing, but his verbatem responce was "Boxing is stupid, its useless and not very good." lol are you F kiddin me? boxing is pretty much the foundation of almost every striking art. He did TKD in elementary so I offered him full pads, he can do what ever, anything goes for him, and i'll keep it strictly BJJ. still he wont do it.

but idk, cocky arrogant people annoy the crap out of me. only for her younger brother he's slowly tryin to form it into a bully type deal, i've gave him the usual, "your fixin to get your *** beat" look, which slowed things a bit. but I think he's turning into the average jock that needs his *** kicked to put him back in a respectful place.

In the end it won't be worth it. Might feel fuckin good/justified in the moment but once you think about it, it might make you feel shitty. Sounds like he knows he gets under your skin and that's why he does it.

Dude your banging his sister just go with it and dont mind it to much. Be the better man and just take it.

[Michael O.]

Just kick his ass get it over with.

[Taylor Culbertson]

Beat the shit out of that little fuck, and dump that girl.

[Jay Chow]

Don't be an idiot. Your girlfriend has told you that she'd get mad, so be the bigger man and impress her more by forgetting about this kid. He WANTS you to attempt to kick his ass, but don't think for one second that just because you do Jiu Jitsu that you will kick his ass.

Because you do Jiu Jitsu, the evolution in your game will be to have some self control and keep it on the mats. If someone has a street fight because of their doing, it's always a regress in their journey towards black belt.

DON'T do it.

[Jarrad Mckay]

Just use your brain man, cocky guys eventually say or do something stupid that bursts their little ego bubble. But I do agree though that you deserve more respect from him. I disagree with using any form of jiu jitsu in this circumstance unless purely for self defence. I understand there would be no better feeling to have him in a painful submission with you in control, being able to tell him that next time he tries that shit and disrespects you you'll break one of his bones, and no football for
Him.

Look inside yourself, sounds like its your insecurites that are the problem not his.
