crazy kid at school

krazykyle31, I've been though four decades of this crap.

In the 70's everyone told me "Hey, my uncle trains with Bruce Lee" :roll:

In the 80's everyone told me "Hey, my brother is ninja he trained in Japan" :roll:

In the 90's everyone told me "Hey, my best friend is a black belt in XYZ" :roll:

And now everyone is telling me "Hey, I am a UFC fighter" :roll:

I think they said it best in the movie Madagascar "Just smile and wave, just smile and wave"

I'm always a fan of putting the guy in his place then offering to help him learn.

thats the point were you go "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...whats that? can you show me some moves?"

then submit him lol

I know a kid just like that. I grappled him a few times and subbed him every time, in less than 10 secs the first time. If you go to my profile, there's a vid of me getting him in a triangle and there's a few others on youtube lol. I boxed him a few times too, but I was just a miserable striker back then so i didn't really punish him. I didn't hurt him while grappling, and I made him gain some respect for the sport. You could do the same thing.

You will run into people like that everywhere. just ignore them. and my opinion on why he thinks he'll "kill you" is that hes insecure about something and the only way for him to feel good is to try to make himself seem so badass.

i don't know about that...

hm just wondering... do you train anywhere currently?... or have you trained before? i read ur bio and wasnt sure

judo is made up of nage-waza, newaza, and atemi-waza--throwing, grappling, and striking.

the atemi-waza are included in the later advanced forms, though they are illegal in competition.

LOL!!!
This is so true.
I didn't come into the picture until the 80's but I remember all the ninja's stories about beating up people that trained with Bruce Lee :lol:
I think the 90's was the Kung Fu craze.
"My cousin trained with Jackie Chan for his new movie"
Or even better
"My 68lb sister could beat you up because she trains in ving chunn, a style made by a women to beat up bigger guys."

And of course now it's..."I wear this affliction shirt because they're gonna sponsor me to be a cage fighter"

Just smile and wave

Ask any Gracie and they will be the first to tell you that in GJJ striking is only a means of distraction or to facilitate what you really want...to submit the opponent, preferably by choke.
So yes you can say it is bad or even inneffective - but it is made clear that it is not the primary line of action.
For example, in a streetfight, if I achieve the mount, why not throw an elbow down? Maybe I'll smash their face and knock them out, maybe not...I don't care because they either threw up their arms in defense or rolled onto their stomach...now they are in trouble.
I'll I'm saying is just because someone said Gracies show strikes doesn't mean they claim to be great strikers. (at least on the level of the art itself)

As for krazykyle most people here have it right, give this kid an opportunity to show you a little something if he wants, then run it from there. If he wants to learn more - great - show him. If not oh well. But din't let him bother you...sometimes the more you know the more people want to mess with you.

That is what we call a "douchebag" which is a better who claims to be better, tougher, cooler, smarter etc than they really are.

Therefore they need to be called out and put in the rightful place. Preferrably in front of their friends.

:lol:

if i have learned one this over the years its this.......those how know how
dont feel the need to tell people they know, those that dont do
