Subject: Re: Dead Forum Cont. Belt Ranking for NO-GI Schools Author: Brandon Weaver [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:16:49 01/05/07 Fri In reply to: James Speight 's message, "Dead Forum Cont. Belt Ranking for NO-GI Schools" on 13:53:36 12/27/06 Wed James I understand and feel your pain but the Gi may or may not have helped. The loud mouth in question was a "gym warrior", way to concerned about gym contests and not concerned enough with training and learning. No matter who tapped him or how he did training with the class as a whole the only story he is going to tell is that he beat on a blue belt, regardless of how many other guys tapped him or dominated him positionally. People like that want to feel as if the "could" fight by going hard in the gym and once in a great while a gym warrior decides he is going to fight, but oh my lord the excuses I have heard when fight time starts to close in. "I dont know my opponent might be better at this, my back is sore, I have a bone in my leg, blah, blah, you name it. I am glad to say where I train now, Brian has a good crew of newer guys who just work hard and no one thinks they are something they are not. Refreshing, but he has only been open for less than half a year, so I am sure we are due for a visit from some tool-box in the near future, its inevitable with the popularity of MMA and BJJ growing like mad and the sport seems to draw em like flies to poo.

[> Subject: Re: Dead Forum Cont. Belt Ranking for NO-GI Schools Author: Tracey [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:48:42 01/05/07 Fri James' story reminds me of the guy who comes in and claims that he is new but then proceeds to try to rip your head off when rolling and obviously has had some training before. I always try to go easy on new people but have to laugh when a guy either claims to be brand new or hurt and taking it easy and then goes 110% when you start. Different issue but still amuzing.
