Why do people do this?

all the time! Here's my 2 favorites: I had one guy who came in and first asked if his 7 year old son could fight and train full contact, we politely replied no. Then he asked about trianing for himself and we told him he could come in and try a class, blah blah blah. THEN he starts telling us about all the schools he's been to. Told us the last oen he was at he got thrown out of because he kicked too hard, LOL!!! (and the school, btw, was a very respectable one) So he leaves, 2 months later we get a call from him while he's out at sea, rather than calling his family, he calls us and tells us that he's coming back and that he was going to be in the UFC soon because he wrote DW a letter, LOL!

Another guy came into our school who told us he had a bjj black belt, a muay thai black belt, and about 5 other random styles he has black belts in. This was years ago, I hadn't even been grappling that long, he was older than me, twice my size, way stronger than me. I had him on his back and tapping out with in a minute, lol....... Then he asked us if he could run classes at our school 4 times a week if he gave us mats... we obviously replied no. Funny thing is he asked us later if we were sure we didnt want "X" amount of mats and it was a different number of mats then what he told us before...

We also have one guy that comes in once a year every year to challenge my coach to a match, he throws him around a little bit and he leaves all disappointed, LOL!

can my 7 year old son train and fight full contact? genious. I got my black belt in muay tai years ago. I don't see how you guys are running classes without one:) My test for my blackbelt consisted of wrapping my hands in hemp rope and honey then dipping them in broken glass and then fighting jeanclaude van damme. I won. Obviously.

That guy was obviously an idiot and a liar, but there are good schools who give belts to their Muay Thai students as sort of an "in house" ranking system. They should probably tell their students there are no belts, though.

Bobby J Blythe wouldn't have taken that crap.

I get tired of people doing the same thing with their military background. Every person I meet that was in the Army was a Ranger and every person I meet that was a Marine was Force Recon.

When I think of it, I think they were all black belts in Muay Thai.

People just need to be happy with what they have accomplished or they need to accompblish more.

i got my black belt from bruce lee.than after a couple years he had to earn it back from me.but then he died so ya you get the rest.

I've noticed that MMA tends to attract a ton of weird people and low lifes in addition to all the cool people involved in it. I've heard so many awesome comments and seen a ton of goofy guys trying to look bad ass, but only one really stands out like that.

One time my instructor went out of town and left my friend Ruben with the key, so we opened the gym early and got some afternoon training in. Out of nowhere this muscular meat head looking guy comes in asking about prices. We were like 17 at the time, and we had no idea what to tell him, so we gave him our coach's number and a copy of the school schedule, and told him our coach offer a lot more info than we could. But he wouldn't leave. He started telling us about how he was an awesome wrestler, but he never won states because he wanted to get big instead of cutting weight. We just went along with it, and all of a sudden he goes, "I had the fastest high crotch in Miami! I ain't tryna pull ya dick!" I had to try really hard to keep a straight, and I was like, "Uh... I appreciate that, man. Please don't do that. I believe you."

Even after that, he still wouldn't leave and he started telling us that he already had a little MMA experience. He said he had fought an unsacntioned match in a club on South Beach one time, and it was on Youtube... naturally I asked to see it. So we go look it up on the computer, and sure enough it was there. The twist in the story is that his opponent was dressed head to toe in a Spiderman costume -mask and all- and the old spiderman theme song was playing in the background. He did indeed have a fast double leg though and beat Spiderman by TKO (quite an accomplishment if you ask me).

We told him how awesome he was and asked if he wanted to roll, and suddenly his old back injury flared up and he left. Never saw him again.

Ahhh, the madness won't stop. Just met another dude who told me he was in a Marine Recon unit in Iraq. It just happen to be the same time I was there, so I listened to his story. I knew he was full of it because we were actually operating out of the same area, but then he made such a dumbass comment that even I was caught off guard. He said he was in Afghanistan in 1998 doing prep work for the invasion and that is how he got wounded. I am sitting there thinking. If we didn't get attacked until 2001, how would we know to prep the battle field 3 years in advance? The only logical answer is that 9-11 was a government conspiracy (joking of course)!

LOL@ all the stories!!

Seriously, i dont know what is wrong with letting people know that a old twelve year olf little girl scout could tap you out with her hankerchief that holds her merit badges.....or that the hal;f retarded dude with one arm slapped the piss out of you for talking crap about his transformers collection???

I enjoy getting choked out by the 110l ber's at c3 man, it lets me know that im human since my massive build intimidates people when i come stompin on through the hallways...

We usually dont advertise our gym b/c we were getting the right type of members through word or mouth. Sometimes we would go months or years between retards entering our gym and giving us their Kimbo Slice resume. Now that we are advertising and expanding our gym, I am dreading the influx of ninja warriors that are sure to come.

On the otherhand, it should be entertaining.

The main reason for expanding and advertising is just to pay the bills, have money for equipment, and add quality members. We arent trying to explode into Xtreme Couture or anyting but our main goal is to just have a place to trian and to get our local youth interested in the sport to further preserve it in our area.

But as this thread has pointed out, IF YOU ADVERTISE IT, THEY WILL COME!!! Let the entertainment begin...bring on the posers LOL!

funny thread
