Martial Arts "expert"

[boogieman4215]

I was watching UFC 91 at my friend's house, and we had one of those loud mouth's who think he knows everything. He claimed to be a brown belt in judo. We were watching of matches, and everytime it went to the ground, he would say "i hate it when the guys are making love on the ground", then laugh. I dont know if he was joking, but if he is a brown belt, wouldn't he understand was was going on? He would then tell everybody watching what the guy in the match should do to submit the other guy, like we had no idea. The one statement that made me shake my head was when one fighter had side control (dont ask me which match, I forgot) the "expert" was telling us how he should pressure a certain body part (not the groin, lol) and the guy would go numb. Then he would tell us how he applied a move on somebody during a tournament he joined.

The funny part is he was telling us how he wasn't winning tournaments and he wasn't getting the points he deserved because he wasn't doing the traditional judo style moves. I dont know anything about Judo, but I think that's BS.

Just wanted to rant, haha. Have you guys even encountered a guy like this?

I doubt he does Judo. Out of the Judokas I know not even a white belt would not make a comment like that about groundwork. Also Judo doesn't deal a whole lot with pressure points. It sounds like this guy has seen a few too many kung fu movies and thinks he's an expert.

I've dealt with a few guys who are the typical hardcore ufc fan, affliction shirt wearing, badass mother fucker. There's been a few times where I'd show up at one of my buddies while UFC was on and the guy would be yelling about all kinds of crap the fighters should do. Usually I just ignore it until one guy wanted to demonstrate it and chose me out of the group of guys to test it on. I just declined and he was getting pretty pissed off as I was being passive about it. He was being very annoying and persistent about it to the point where I eventually got sick of it and said something along the lines of "look pal, I train MMA over 10 times a week, you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, so just sit down before I choke your poser ass out." He was a lot bigger (and fatter) than me but since we both knew his only credentials were his UFC shirt and hat, he sat down with his tail between his legs and didn't talk much after that.

Sounds a lot like the Kyushojutsu guys who practice the pressure point one touch knockouts. They always run the "the UFC won't let our style in 'cause it's too deadly" BS.

I always get the comment, "Why doesn't he just stand back up? I'd just stand back up."

Yeah I hate it when TMA guys or just plain old posers talk about fighting as if they are experts when they have never in their entire lives rolled full contact with anyone in any setting using any style ever. If you have never been in a fight in your life, whether it's a boxing or kickboxing match, a wrestling match, a judo match, or a submission grappling match, you don't know what you're talking about, sorry, shut up, you just don't have an effing clue.

God I still remember arguing with an aikido guy about whether or not you can actually throw somebody by grabbing their wrist if they resist you. Of course I offered to let him try, he refused 'because I don't want to get sued after I break the arm of somebody with no training' and because aikido teaches peace and harmony, not conflict.

I felt stupider for having talked to him.

Anybody else notice the Spyderco folder in the pocket at about 2 minutes of the video?

I watched the UFC where Franklin fought Silva the first time at Hooters, of all places. This guy at the table next to us was drinking to much and getting way too excited about the whole thing. He would loudly mouth what each fighter should be doing in each situation. He continued to get more and more drunk and annoying.

When the main event came on, and Franklin got destroyed, this guy lost it. He got up and began pacing back and forth fast across the room, frantically, as if he just got news the world was going to end any minute.

It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Probably my most memorable UFC ecperience, in fact. Just the sheer idiocy of this guy.

Don't just label the TMA guys. There are plenty of posers who take Muay Thai classes, BJJ, etc, who also haven't ventured outside the air-conditioned comfort of their practice facilities, yet carry on like they are complete badasses.

That being said, though, I am a black belt in Shorin-ryu and Shudokan karate, but I don't attend classes anymore because we do very little sparring. When I trained there I had to start a fight club so that some of us harder core folks could get some real world experience. I like my school, and I've learned a lot, but I feel without going hard against a resisting opponent, you really won't be able to apply shit.

I feel the three years I trained in Muay Thai completely dominates over the fifteen years of karate I have taken, because we sparred regularly. There are, of course, lots of TMA schools that spar, but some do it more effectively than others.

And I have also studied aikido, for nearly a year. The joint locks are great for grappling, but everything else is crap. I got out of there fairly quickly.

haha, this guy isn't really a friend, i just know him through another friend. and as for the video, lol, he isn't like that, he thinks he knows everything. that video was freaking hilarious though!

 

[animalboy]

i remember once i was having a couple beers with a buddy of mine that does jiu jitsu also... so this fat old guy starts talking to us and starts saying how he is a blackbelt in judo and he trained with royce every week and stuff like that hahaha so he turns to my friend and says: let me see your choke and gives the back to my friend.... so my friend puts a RNC on the guy but the guy does some weak tapping near my friend nuts and my friend didnt even know what the other guy was trying to do and eventually the guy went to sleep in the middle of the bar haha

shit was pretty classic..
