"We're cagefighters"

In Bas Rutten's DVD, the one full of kicks to the balls and smashing skulls into corners, he describes a hip throw ending in a kneeling position to be one of the most dangerous things you can do to a person.

For crabs? And did me mean out on the ocean or back on land?

[diducdat?]

I think you just didnt have the true BJJ.

No,seriously.I heard this bullshit all the time when I did Aikido. But if you do Aikido, you cant take on one guy,much less multiple attackers.

He wasnt too specific, but it was more 'most deadly to fishermen', getting drowned, catching power lines, infections from dirty fish hooks, etc.
Although a fish would probably have a different perspective on the whole thing!

His point was (I think) martial arts are not that dangerouse statistically, as you are far more likely to get injured playing football, rugby, fishing, etc.

put me right off fishing

You have to be careful with Judo, because it can be 'too effective' if there is such a thing.

I know a former GB international who was attacked and O soto gari-ed his attacked onto the pavement. The guy landed on his head was knocked unconscious and within seconds there was a pool of blood a couple of foot square and growing on the floor.

Now that sounds all macho and you can have a good Phailmore esque circle wank about it, but most normal well adjusted human beings will think is 'oh fuck what have I done', as this ex-international did, when standing over an unconscious and rapidly exsanguinating body.

After that he made sure he always cupped the head in any altercation he got in to ensure he didn't have a repeat.

In Dave Camarillo's book the only time it mentions 'the street' is to suggest you never, ever do osoto-gari there.

Details?

I'm guessing you wanted details on the 10-1?

Anyway, I'm at a bar called Macky's for my 29th birthday. I get drunk... REAL drunk. Like my friends held me down and poured most of a bottle of Jameson down my throat. I was drunk and dancing on the bar with some girls like the asshole I am and my bartender buddies started spraying me with the soda guns.

At the end of the night, I decided to walk the 1/2 block home instead of getting in my buddy's car and getting it all soaking wet. So as I'm at the end of the parking lot walking past the bus stop someone yells 'HEY FAGGOT!!!' ( I guess he knew me??) and then punched me right in the face.

I went down hard. When I regained my senses, I had a 230+ pound Jersey Guido on me throwing bombs. That sobered me up rather quick. I shrimped to recover guard and then scissor swept him and began returning the favor with elbows. As he rolled over and tried to crawl away, his buddies began kicking and punching me in the back, but I was numb with alcohol & rage. One of them leaned in from the front to deliver a punch to the face, but I leapt up and caught him with an O-soto gari first. Another came at me (bro) and I quickly dispatched him with a Harai makikomi. Rising up, I met yet another Guido with a simple Sukui nage.

From there, things became clouded by the fog of war. The next thing I remember, people were yelling my name over and over and telling me to calm down as I struggled to takedown one of my own friends who had arrived with the cavalry. Relieved, I sank back onto the pavement and took a well deserved rest.

The cops showed up once the dust had settled but the Guidos had rounded up their wounded & quickly scurried off into the night and I don't talk to pigs. So I finished my walk home, showered off the blood and went to bed/passed out.

The next day I found out from my friends who work at the bar that the Guidos had been kicked out of the bar for trying to pick a fight with two small guys for absolutely no reason. Apparently, they were just jonesing for a fight. I'm glad I could oblige them. Maybe next time they'll stay on the Jersey Shore instead of plaguing Ocean City, MD.

Truth.

I once accidentally over-Judo'd a guy into a short coma. There was indeed the tell-tale pool of blood forming around his head. The only reason I didn't go to jail over that one was because the nightclub security video showed me immediately rendering first aid to my would-be assailant.

My bad.
