A Eulogy

[W. Rabbit]

You get attacked because you talk/act like the last 6 years of training have been consistent, constant and competitive.

Bullshit, that's not why I get harassed by the same few people (including you when the mood is right). I get harassed because you're bored and don't have an actual Bullshidoka to target, which is the purpose of the site.

In some cases some members like Chen have slipped up and literally admitted they are sadists...they enjoy harassing people online, even though it's now illegal in some places, they think it's OK to do here because they can get away with it.

Cowardly jerkoffs, and the people who don't stop that sort of shit and join in instead...it's sad. If that's your game, just fucking post on Youtube or 4chan.

You really don't know what my training has or been like, but you're using your ignorance as an appeal to authority about why I get trolled?

I've trained extremely hard at times, I'm positive I've trained harder than you at times. You really don't have a clue how I've trained, or what parts of my training did serve me up there.

You keep talking like I got killed and was pulled bloody from the platform. I guess you didn't watch the other fights either, to see just how bad some people got beat down.

I was NOT one of those, objectively.

Truth is unless the training is consistent it doesn't mean much.

Captain Obvious attacks!

Seriously dude...stop acting like I've ever bragged about being great at martial arts.

I've been bullies, beaten, and trolled since grade school for being myself, you know what's changed since then?

Nowadays, I hit back.

Hahaha, you're a real piece of work (read: shit) wabbit.

Rent free motherfucker, rent free.

Are you being fucking serious?

[cualltaigh]

Yes and with the exception of yourself, no one here posts there or contributes to it.

Which is the point I was making. There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about reviving the site etc. etc., which seems to always end up with drama whoring non-sau's like the one developing in this thread.

One of the fundamental tenets of this site is pressure testing martial arts in an alive way. If more people were willing to test themselves in competition and temper their egos by posting the footage on here* we would be making a good start to getting back the core of why this site exists.

Just sayin'





*And by here I mean the site, posting into one of the technical or other moderated forums I have no issue with.

[BKR]

Yes, if only we had a dedicated forum where members could post footage from their competition matches. If only...

I have a couple, the rest are on VHS-C, LOL ! I may get around to getting them converted one of these days. Even those were Masters events, past my due date.

How is this not normal training?

Semantics, really ?

It's a matter of emphasis, volume, intensity, prepping for individual opponents, weight cutting, etc.

Actually I do get what your saying, but what your talking about is more like going through "camp" for as you already said for serious competitors and not the account that is serious about winning worlds at blue belt. Your professional to quasi professional level competitors.
When us mortals have a competition coming up we do change we do increase the intensity and start all the weight cutting craziness but we don't tend to go through a whole camp cycle.

I didn't post it there because a) hey I'm kind of shy about being on camera, and b) I figured the honest criticism would come from folks that sought it out on Youtube, and that's all I care about.

I knew full well who would provide negative criticism, and who would toady them, and as usual, I was only a few percent off in accuracy.

Still not convinced I should post it there, based on what some of the paint chip chewing folks are saying in this thread.

Why would anyone post their comp video on a POS site that did that sort of thing? What, did we run out of dead Chun and Ninja ground fighting videos?

I've posted video in the members comp section, Wabbit...

Post your comp video there. Camera shy, sheesh...

It's not a camp cycle, it's a periodized training plan. It's what serious competitors do, even amateur ones. Of course, not everybody does that, and probably not everybody should. But it's something to think about for everyone.

What it sounds like you are describing is what I see typically in Judo...people train "extra hard" for (maybe) a month or so for a competition, and call it good.

That's OK, but not optimal.

I'm still learning how to train people that way, BTW. It is definitely necessary for serious competitors to be successful, but a hard-core bitch to implement. The player has to be very committed. Sometimes only aspects can be applied.

[cualltaigh]

Fuck, I posted a video of me getting raped for 30sec by a Sambo practitioner from somewhere in Eastern Europe. If anyone here has posted a more humiliating comp video I would be fairly surprised.

It's not just about things that go wrong/are humiliating and it's not just about yourself. Watching Billythepunk's vid of his match against the purple belt I picked up a lot. I often use the double under scoop pass that he was and watching the purple belt's reply to it and how he handles it informed how I intend to drill the pass and things to look out for.

I'm in there too. Edit - whoops my video is somewhere else here. Anyway, I posted one.

What in the LIVING FUCK is going on in this beautiful, beautiful thread?

Wabbit, BJJ got brought up because a kung fu guy and a bjj guy were talking shit to each other, and the kung fu guy, as well as yourself, insinuated they were somehow immune to leg locks because of their giant legs.

That is silly fucking bullshit. That's not how legs, or leg locks, work.

That's why people are "harassing" you. It has nothing to do with your fight, per se, except that you seem to think you have a delivery system you don't really have...

Politely informing you that leglocks are not countered by flexing your huge quads, bro, nor are they some sort of hacksaw to the leg bones where bone diameter is a factor is not "theorycrafting"


You are DOING the thing you're accusing others of.

[W. Rabbit]

Are you being fucking serious?

OF course I'm being serious.

Now, are you serious about all the lecturing on BJJ and grappling you do?

Because for a nobody student-learner, you are constantly lecturing people on BJJ, including me. Constantly.

In fact, I don't think there is anyone here who DOESN'T lecture others on Bullshido constantly, which is why it's so ironic you'd claim I get harassed because I do it.

This site is nothing but members lecturing each other, or newbies. Constantly.

Are you truly that deluded about what you do and post here that you think you're hands are clean on this matter?

Sorry, saying that your own BJJ "is shit" is only faux humility, if in the next breath you claim some shit about someone else's BJJ, or their other training, which you, and Chen, and quite a few others here do.

Constantly.

No doubt, periodized training is the best if you can get it to cycle up with the competitions. That does take a level of commitment. However if you are doing periodized training then your normal training is competition training it just cycles up and down.

I'm in there too. Edit - whoops my video is somewhere else here. Anyway, I posted one.

And coincidentally...Neil you and I get along fine. The vast majority of people here have NEVER accused me of the crap the more vocal trololicious people do, which is why I think half of them are sockpuppets...this behavior is actually pretty fucking common online.

I've noticed a real pattern that MOST people who actually throw down and push video...don't harass others that do.

Yet, here we are, people are claiming Rabbit thinks he's hot shit on the mat, hot shit in the ring, Rabbit lectures people, he's a know-it-all...ok that last part is true if this were Smurf Village, I'd be Brainy. But fuck off, I can't change who I am.

Grow up, quit crying about me for doing all the same things you're guilty of.
