BJJ vs karate: Jiu-Jitsu Match

Padlock said:
..his ass kicked IN jiu-jitsu By a blue belt IN Jiu-Jitsu? No, not at all...same reason I don't mind the video of me gettin my assed kick by my instructor being all over the web. Its pretty much expected. He gets to use it to see what mistakes he made and why he was submitted..and I get to critique my techniques. You'd have to be a little insecure to have your feelings hurt about something silly like that.

No one minds watching vids of themselves getting beaten usually, but I don't know if I would like being 7 minutes of another guys highlight reel with strangers leaving comments like, whoah, that guy sucked.

By the way, do you train at Gracie Barra Houston. I will be in Richmond in a few days and I would like to visit the school.

I have 10 minutes of me gettin smashed on the internet..in fact..The guy I lost 1st place to when I took 3rd at the Atama open..I approached him and let him know I had the video of him kicking my ass and I posted it for him on his youtube. I don't mind that he shows it off..I hope he does..he did good and deserves it.

And yes..I train at Gracie Barra Texas (in Houston..or Webster would be the technical city) It is on El Dorado right off I-45. Come chech it out bro..you'll love it.

EDIT: You know, people haven't been training on "Mats" in gyms since the begininng of martial arts....lol..they used to practice outside and on wooden floors. They were fine and I'm pretty sure I'll be ok too...I'm not brittle.

Practicing outside and on wooden floors is alot different than practicing in your daughters bedroom and almost cracking your head on the bed or rolling arond the dining room while your buddies wife is vacuuming.
 
Padlock said:
Why's that. I'm Ok with it..the guys I'm rolling with are OK with it...the question is..why are YOU not ok with me rolling? I don't know how your gym works but I can't just bring my buddy's up to the gym and roll with them anytime I want. If me and a buddy start talking about something and he wants to show me or I want to show him something or hell..we just want to roll for a little bit...I'm wouldn't drive all the way to a gym or call my instructor and try to get a key from him...THAT would be a little over the top.

Why cant you take them to your gym/dojo? Do they charge an outrageous mat fee?

LOL practicing on WOODEN floors is different than a carpeted bedroom? lol's hows so? You don't run the risk of cracking your head on the floor? Even Judo was practiced on wooden floors. I rolled a few times in that room and not once have I "Cracked" my head on anything. Hell I only roll at 50 % anyway when I'm at home..even if I did bump my head...(Which is going to be really hard when I'm pretty aware of when I get close to anything) it wouldn't hurt very much. And we weren't rolling WHILE she was vacuuming..we were rolling and then she WANTED to vacuum.

They don't allow it at all. Drac doesn't allow people who don't "Train" there and sign a disclaimer to practice in his gym. He can get sued if anyone gets injured there. Even his open mats you have to be at least a 3 stripe white belt to get in because hes not there and has to make sure competent people are trying with each other. If I could just go to his gym anytime of COURSE I would go there. But I can't..so I train when and where I can when its closed. I'm not sure why you guys dont get that.

A. I WILL...TRAIN ANY CHANCE I GET
B. I CAN'T TRAIN AT MY GYM ANYTIME I WANT...ITS SCHEDULED.
C. FRIENDS OF MINE THAT GRAPPLE BUT AREN'T GRACIE BARRA STUDENTS CAN'T ROLL AT DRACS....AT ALL.
C. I ROLL WITH THEM AT OTHER PLACES

Its pretty simple, really.
 
you have great skills TS. however, your friend had an opportunity to headlock you couple of times :)

So you have to be almost a blue belt just to go to an open mat? Thats sounds pretty stringent, but then alot of BJJ schools are like that. Kind of retarded if you ask me but thats their policy.
 
calling Beatles gay should be a bannable offense

Think about it....How many white belts do you know that spaz out in class? The last thing Drac needs is a bunch of white belts with no instructor around spazzing out on each other when he can't watch, stop, or diffuse a situation. Some white belts don't know how far their shoulder can bend in a kimura, some other white belts don't slowly add pressure..some crank it like a lawn mower....There is a lot of dumb stuff that can happen and Drac doesn't want that going on why he isn't there. I totally get it...I'm a business owner myself and I wouldn't want to lose it for stupid reasons.

Apparently I would enjoy rolling with you too then. I'll let you start off with me in a headlock as much as you want as long as your under 300 lbs of pure muscle lol

If you were around my weight class I would say a majority of the time I would escape a headlock from either

A. You becoming tired
B. Me moving to a dominate position until you abandon it and go for something else
C. I move to a dominate position and force the release and take the arm bar

..why would I say that? Cuz I don't know anybody thats a blue belt or higher that would ever go for a headlock (meaning the traditional head lock most guys on the street go for) So that means there is a good chance your a guy around my weight class and your a white belt.

Is it possible if your really strong to tap me with a headlock? Of course..is it likely? Not in a majority of cases. I've had a guy that was 220 lbs put me in a head lock for 5 minuets while he laid on me and I just kept calm, kept my head turned the right way and eventually he got tired, I slipped out and took his back and choked him..did it suck? Yes...did it attack my wind pipe? NO...did it attack my carotid arteries not really..maybe on one side. I have no Idea who you are..you could be a black belt guy thats Brock Lessnars size for all I know. So I wouldn't "Bet" without knowing more about you...but you can Come to Draculino's and try anytime for free. If you know a headlock that works I'd be happy to learn it.
