Weirdest moments in training?

[kohadril]

Kohadril, I'm hoping you mean 2,000,000 Won a month right? Otherwise you might want to reconsider pimping yourself out.

Yes. That is what I mean. The money here comes in such cartoonishly high denominations, I find it hard to think about it unless I reduce it by a factor of one-thousand.

Ok, I was supposed to move to Chicago this year but that plan got shot to hell (long story) so I had to move back to Florida, and set a budget so I could make sure my fiancee had a place to stay. (She had a contract with a theatre there.

I can't spend the money on a gym but the Capoiera club I was with also had a BJJ class and I would go in and roll with them before class (I learned a few moves at Deberg in Chicago) I was basicly a warm up dummy but I figured it was better than nothing. There was a little girl in my who lived in my neighborhood and was in Cap class. She was 10 when I started and she just turned 12 last week. So the instructor walks in and I'mgetting ready to leave when I'm attacked by afore mentioned little girl. I laugh because she did this all the time before the Jr's came in in Cap so i start to tickle her. She then turns into mercury and is now on my back with a RNC that BJ Penn would be proud of and whispers with voice breaking "Chris I just got my period."

wtf was she telling you in an ann frank kinda way, or was she telling you like oops...i made a poopie... because hearing that after getting a RNC is kinda ...

An Ann Frank kind of way?

I guess this is more embarassing than weird, but here goes:

A few weeks ago I was rolling with a guy and I honestly cannot remember the exact position we were in when this happened. I do however remember that I was being submitted, my mouth was partially covered, and my best way to tap was to literally pat him on the ass. The really bad part was when I said the following without thinking: "sorry I tapped your ass."

yea, ann franke was happy she got her period and it ment she was matured. did the girl say it in that kinda way, like, " i got a pet dog!"

I saw a group of Karateka do Kata to Europes' "The Final Countdown" it was quite surreal.

It's taking a Triumph of the Will for me to not make a joke about this.

Dude how do you get a captain of the anti-ninja force tag? I want one.

We had a guy that had only one leg who used to do bjj with us at an old club (hope he is not on the site). His one leg was prosthetic and it was wierd trying to pass his guard, as I was a noob at the time and couldn't use the elbow on the thigh trick. Also when he accidentally swung his leg out once at my head it almost knocked me out. I didn't realise how heavy prosthetics were. It was like being hit by a baseball bat.

That's pretty wierd

Another wierd story is there used to be a bald psychopath in the BJJ class who I was scared of because he would death stare everyone and spar like he was looking to murder you. I had just started and was only 17. One day he starts talking about how he wish he could kill all the asylum seekers.
Later I asked him what his job was. Turns out he is a police officer. Either that or a lunatic.

Actually come to think about it martial arts has a lot of strange people attracted to it.

I was once sparring this guy who obviously had some physical issues, his left leg was abit rigid and his body wasnt veyr well co ordinated. He never cut his nails either. One day he thumbs me in the friggin ear. Parents used to complain when he thumbed there children in the ear.

That's the damn truth ...

When I was teaching Kumdo, some guy walked in mid-afternoon ater the lunch crowd had left. He asked me if I knew Jesus. I said no. Then he asked me if I wanted to meet him, and I said yeah, sure. Then he told me that Jesus would kick my ass. Then he left. The end.

I originally posted this story in January on a thread about challenges, I think this fits in weird moments pretty well...

Our club used to run out of a large building on an old RAF camp just outside of town. On the Thursday night that we trained, there was a youth club on the floor above us.

Now, this ex-RAF camp was used as a council estate to house the lower end of the human gene pool... real Darwin Award contenders, room temperature IQs and trustees of cheap recreational chemistry (butane, magic markers).

So the little darlings that frequented the youth club were basically trouble-causing shitheads, so we had our moments with gangs of morons banging on windows, pushing doors open and shouting stuff.

We offered a lot of free lessons (yes, we meant beatings) to the various idiots - no takers, and only once did we ever get anything like any real trouble: an older guy walked in halfway through a lesson and proceeded to watch intently.

I went over, asked him what he wanted, and noticed he stank of petrol (gasoline, y'all) probably been sniffing or drinking it, who knows. He said he wanted to learn kung fu.

He was not in contact with this world. I'm pretty sure he thought he'd stumbled on a Shaolin temple or something.
I told him that it was a good idea, and would he like to learn kung fu here and now? He said he did, so I told him about the compulsory fitness test, you know the one... the five mile cross country run in the dark?

So, eager to prove he was fit enough to learn the secrets of shotokung-fukan, he jogged out of the hall, and predictably, we never saw him again.

Now, he probably jogged for a little bit, and then gave up... but I like to think he jogged off and never stopped, in a Forest Gump stylie.

Now, after reading this a couple of posters informed me he'd probably died of hypothermia, or been run down on a dark country lane...
Darwin FTW.

You have to behead several ninjas in front of a camera or credible witnesses. I'm still waiting on mine.
