A 16 year old kid whos helping out at my work thinks he can outgrapple me because he did a few kickboxing classes.
He always asks me questions like: "Do you think you could beat me in a grappling match?" "I mess about in the park with my friends etc and they're pretty tough". "Nothing can beat kickboxing". All he does is stir and spread gossip and annoys everyone at work.
He looks about 60-66kg. Not muscular. Much smaller. Messes about with kids similar his size. Got a yellow belt in judo before he was thrown out for punching a kid in the chest. I know. (when i quizzed him he didn;t even know that judo dealt with submissions).
I am 73kg down from 80, Lean muscle, I strength train, I'm a Judo blue belt (pushing for brown). I'm taller than him. I'm fairly certain I am more flexible and athletic than him also. I've done no-gi judo with friends weighing in excess of 90kg with similar judo experience as that kid (yellow belt) and was in control 100% of the time.
I like my chances. But i just brush it off and invite him to come train at the club.
