Do your friends/colleagues in jest 'test' your skills?

[Saboi Osmosis]

Do they do things like throwing a jab miles out of range and then saying 'haha you didnt block that did you' etc

Most of mates used to do this all the time but in the summer I decided it was getting a little bit silly so I decided if they try this in jest im going to give them a taste of there of medicine etc and give them a little dig here and there.

What are your experiences

No, I don't hang around with under 20's. lol

But that's what kids do, they boast, they brag, they try to make some sort of identity for themselves that exhibits control or difference from the mainstream.

Once you've lived a little and grow up, you'll find that people over 30 that behave like that probably do so because of fetal alcohol syndrome or some other learning disability or psychological issue that has not been addressed or resolved.

YES, once your friends know you practice martial arts they always doing someone stupid. i've actually struck a few of my friends who've messed around like that.

I don't think that at all. I think it's in their best interest to be that, but alas, I know it's not true at all.

I can't help you beyond, get friends that are mature and be mature yourself.

I didnt make this thread asking for help, so feel free to act the immature smart ar** all you like.

I'm not offering you any help.
do whatever you like.

I think you're running with a pack of immature guys by your own admission.
If you don't like comments on an open forum, maybe you should thicken your skin a bit first before posting questions about what others do, think and have experienced.

My experience is that guys who are over 25, that behave in the manner as you describe have issues and should invest time in growing up.

What can I say, you did ask what our experiences are.

But hey, if you're gonna get all defensive about it, maybe it's you that should move along? lol

once, i was at the grocery store looking for something in the frozen foods section for my girlfriend. I was so focused on looking for what she had me picking up i wasn't paying attention to anything else when suddenly i hear these footsteps coming at me in my direction and saw this person rushing me. I stepped back a little and hit him under his chin with an elbow. His head flew back and i heard his teeth click together. then i noticed it was my friend. i was like FOOL!!!!
