funny confrontation....

[hindoshima]

At my high school these two kids were dicussing their martial arts styles. One kid was a Shaolin-Do practitioner the other was bjj. The bjj guy said SD was a load of crap after a while. So they actually got into a fight and the shaolin-do guywon. I'm no proponent of SD but it seems like it works. Feel free to post but please don't use vulgarities even if you add *or @. Thanks.

Cool where are you or the fight located ? KC

[Meat Shake]

reminds me of the story I was told while in SD about one of the masters crescent kicking a BJJ blackbelt to prove he didnt need to learn ground fighting, because SD was the most ultimate complete martial art on earth...
yeah...

Anyways, back to practicing swimming with just my pectoral muscles so I can be as bad as Sin The.
(Yes, thats a story I heard while in SD, as well as him climbing greased poles without using arms or legs.... Or maybe the one about Su Kong walking into a room and hearing 13 people breathing instead of 2 and throwing a knife into the ceiling to kill an assassin...)

It's a high school fight. I'm willing to bet that each guy probably has less than a year in his respective style. I'm also willing to bet it looked like any other HS fight (training or none((, had very little technique shown, and resulted in two students getting expelled.

Sheer ignorance.

I thought this might be a troll post. He joined in November 2006, and his first post was in March of '07? Weird.

Yep! You have a black belt? Well let's see if it can stop the bullets from my 38!

I have a kevlar gi. Don't have a lot of mobility, and I can't kick above the ankle, but I'm unstoppable.

[golden arhat]

I remmeber that in high school to dudes wanted to fight. One was on the football team and the other was a "black belt" in some martial art or other. I don't recall what hte fight was over, but I remember what it ended up looking like.

They set a time and place to fight (which was funny to me, because they had time to cool down and shake it off, but instead penicled it into their schedules...lol...), and tons of people came to see it at the off-school ground location. My friend dragged me along.

It was a spitfest, and looked like a hockey fight. At some point the black belt named Sam, I think (wow, that's good recall from something that happened decades ago), got the football player's shirt over his head, and then beat the living hell out of him. A couple of us rushed in and stopped the fight, b/c the football player was shouting out "stop!" and his girlfriend was crying.

High schoolers are high schooolers, and they almost all fight like high schoolers.

Isn't that what 99% of all fights look like?

You have two guys who really don't know how to fight grabbing each other and throwing haymakers. Usually both wind up on the ground.

Even if you've had training sometimes all that goes out the window with the heat of emotion.

I remember this one situation. You know how two people will start jawing at one another and then when other people come over one of them will act like they are going to lunge knowing full well there's 2-3 people there to grab him/her. Anyway I remember at a party there was a girl who was notorious for that. She would start in verbally on another girl with all these threats and profanity. Then 2-3 guys would come over and grab her. That's when she started with the "Let me go! I want a peice of that bit.ch!". Well she started in on this girl that I knew had training (I believe she was a puple belt in BJJ). I believe the BJJ girl probably could have broken her arm if she wanted to. Anyway the same thing happen. She starts jawing at the girl and 2-3 guys came over and grab her. She was kicking and screaming and all that. Well, about that time the BJJ girl's boyfriend came over and said "Let her go. Gina capable of defending herself and this Bit.ch has been asking for it." So they let her go.....she continued the profanity. Of course she was running the other way while doing it!

I have seen several "real" fights, and been in two in my lifetime.

The people who know how to fight never started any of them. All of them have been at bars, or public functions (concerts) where alcohol is being consumed liberally. It always....no exceptions... began with one guy jawing and spitting profanity. If he didn't settle down and turned to threats, the MA I knew, or myself (as I picked this tip up very quickly) set his feet in a defensible position without making show of it, and brought his hands up to a position, that if something whent down, he'd be able to get his hands up quickly. But you don't adopt a ready stance with hands up and feet set to provocate the fight any further. The fights I got into were ones where I was trying to cool off my friend, who wass just as ticked off and started talking **** on my behalf, and I say....cool it man, and try to reason with the other guy, who now wanted to kick my ass. Friends are such a trip sometimes....

When the whole scened went down and hte guy lost his cool and threw a punch, the fight was over in about an average of 3 seconds. Ususally a punch thrown, a combination in return followed by a sweep, and I walked.....didn't care what happened behind me. I was out like gout.

You know the adage that good fighters don't fight (I'm not talking ring fighting)? Well, it's true. One guy starts it, the other guy finishes it.

It never looks like a form, or even like hte UFC. You don't pace around for a minute jabbing and throwing round kicks, or lunge in for the takedown. It's usually a cramped space with little room for hitting the floor or fighting at a distance. IT's a strike or two at close range, a takedown, and one dude walking away. At least, the one's that involved Martial artists. But that's only what I've seen. It's not 100% accurate worldwide. A good BJJ guy will take a kinder approach, and take the guy down, then make him submit. Only thing is, when you're drunk, you don't feel as much pain, so I Imagine it must be hard to tell how much pressure in an armbar is too much if the ppor guy doesn't seem to be hurt....lol......

Expelled for a fight! Wow, what school did you go to? I had about 6 fights in HS and the punishments ranged from being yelled at and sent in seperate directions to being suspended for a couple of days.

I've seen a few fights and been in a few...they've all been pretty different. I remember one was over in one punch...the guy cracked em with a haymaker and it made a big noise...the other guy walked away crying (middle school)

I was in one that you said "fights dont happen like this"...but we were friends (fighting over the dumbest thing....but its always dumb right?) And it was EXACTLY like a boxing match...except there were no gloves so it was real bloody and it lasted 10minutes (no rounds, no breaks)...it was exhausting....and then we shook hands and joked about it a few days later like "wow, yea you caught me real good right here", lol...."nah, but you rocked my jaw when you threw this one...."

That was before any trainning of mine....and a big reason i started getting trainning. Much better than the fights on youtube.com hehe. (and we were in HS)

I thought that was standard. It was about 20 years ago. Anyone who fought was automatically expelled where I grew up.
