The Ultimate Fighter TV show strikes again! I run into "fighters" every day now. ("I train 'UFC' style") on the streets and coming into my school. The thing is some of these guys may one day be good, but their ego gets ahead of their undeveloped skills. One of the great things about BJJ, MMA and combative sports is the constant reminder of how little you know and how much work you have ahead of you, even as you progress. What Neal is probably aware of is that most of the humble guys are the ones who have put in the time on the mat and understand where they truly stand. The guys running around telling everyone what a badass they are probably haven't. And, just a note - training in your backyard and beating up your friends doesn't constitute real training. One last thing Neal is pointing out is that ego can get you hurt. If this kid wants to talk and ends up on the mat with the likes of Jason Culbreth, Brandon Garner, Pat Wiggs, or, God Help him, Billy Dowey, all the heart and drive in the world won't help him. I can watch all the bastketball I want, but until I put my time on the courts drilling with proper coaches, it doesn't mean I can hit shots.
Neal, I still need to try to make it out to your place soon.
