BEST THREAD EVER.
And you're right TWS, I'm not all that nice to you. But it's mostly because I have little tolerance for sheer @sshattery, and baby, you take the cake. Now, pucker up and blow daddy a kiss, before he stings you on your inner thigh again.
And I know exactly why I'm on fu-pow's ignore list: i call him on bull****. Here's the bottom line folks; i will never tell you how to do a form, or how to fight with a weapon. Heck, I'm even one of those people who approaches BJJ from the perspective that it's a sport, and quite possibly one of the gayest looking in the world.
Which, if you think about it, might explain why I sting TWS on the thigh.
But i've got over a decade of grappling experience, with training in three different arts, and the credentials through tournament victories, at the RIGHT tournaments, to make it clear that on grappling issues, i know what i'm talking about. Just like I wouldn't dream of telling you how to do your art, don't tell me how to grapple, or "deal with a grappler."
Fu-pow just gets tired of being told he's full of **** on that issue. Pretty simple.
Incidentally, as a point of reference, TWS managed to get into multiple ascerbic arguments with guys like apoweyn and braden; two of the nicest, most respectful guys this forum has ever missed.
