The best compliment ever still sucks: I am like Fedor.

**Tenebrous** · Posted On: 10/27/2008 5:59pm

I was in jiujitsu and I received the best compliment ever. Someone I rolled with a couple of times, and I think I did a pretty good job, told me I was Fedor-like. I imagined myself marching down a ramp to a ring, to The Hymn of the Russian Federation. In my head I was already mercilessly crushing giant foreign devils with looping punches and sick armbars. I said, "Really? Cool, thanks."

He clarified, "Yeah, you're way stronger than you look."

I was a little confused. But still, I'm Fedor strong? I could manhandle people with pituitary issues with my might? Wait, is he just saying I just look wimpy? He attempts to sweep away the look of confusion that has come over me. He continues, "Well, you don't have definition, but you're still really strong. Like Fedor."

What he means, dear readers, is that I'm chubby. I guess we have the one thing in common, and I should be satisfied with that. I am a chubby ****, like Fedor.

Which way to the nearest weightwatchers?

Its ok to be fat. Or skinny, as long as you kick ass.

****, man, i rolled this 13 year old last week, small fucker, too, but his technique was sick. He has been training for like, two years, and well, he didn't sub me, and i got him in an armbar, but he wasn't tapping so i let go (he seemed a little egotistical).

We were about even on technique, with him having the edge, but i was able to muscle through most everything, wiff my own technique knowledge.

One time we stood up, and i need to work on my guard, so i just pulled guard, and BAM, homeboy stuck a knee through on the way down, and papa moosey doesn't wear a cup in training because **** gets mis-aligned too easily and when you go for an armbar and your cup is just a little to the left, **** that **** hurts.

Anyway, goes to show you, don't underestimate anyone...

I think you just need a better-fitting cup.

Perhaps an Extra Small?

I wonder what the hell people mean when they say "you don't look that strong" Like am I supposed to pop-out of a cake with my abs oiled like a Chippendale's dancer?

Functional strength and natural strength are almost totally unrecognizable to most people.

Only one of the guys at my dojo wears cup on a regular basis. (not that i'm doing cup checks...) The rest say somthing similar, they get misaligned or some ****.

Someone said that to me a few weeks ago in class... Not the fedor bit. I never thought about it this way. But, you have a point. Now i'm depressed and am off to eat cake before training.
