Weirdest moments in training?

I think the final joke is that you pretend to be a crane.

There's a dutchman who loves to tickle his way out of a pin at my club. He always seems to try to get cheek to cheek withme when it's ground time.

Happens to the best of us, eh?

Not an awkward moment so much, but I felt awful the other day in judo. I was doing some light randori with a more advanced guy and he nails this beautiful ouchi gari, perfect timing and everything, I go down into my ukemi with my right knee a bit too high, and WHAM it makes full contact with his solar plexus. He coughs a bit and starts jumping up and down swearing in Russian. Needless to say I apologized my ass off, but man I felt bad ---and he hasn't partnered with me since...

Being the initiator of that throw is a good way to get a knee in the face if you follow too far.

More of a good lesson and embarrasing than weird, but here it is.

After my first two months at my first MMA classes (I had a lot of Judo, Tae Kwon do, and some BJJ already under my belt), one day I came in for an MMa class, and i got paired up with a big guy. He looked really overwieght, I had never seen him before, and I thought "Ok, here's a guy who just started, he's trying to lose some weight, I'll take it easy on him".

Big Mistake.

We were doing some sparring drills and I threw a really light, slow roundhouse. This big guy caught my kick in a flash, executed a perfect O-uchi Gari, dropped me hard, and brought down a right into my face with conviction and a flourish. Suddenly I was a little less sure of myself. I partnered with him the rest of class, and he schooled me in everyway possible.

Come to find out he's the lead MMA instructor and Captain of our (succesful) competition team, Judo black belt and just plain old tough dude.

I try not to judge people on appearance anymore.

An avian type of Furry?

Is this an argument in favor of a belt ranking system, in order not to get surprised like that...or an argument against belt ranks, so that this kind of hilarity can flourish?

I like the hilarity, and just hope that others underestimate my old skinny ass as well. So I vote for no belt system in MMA.

Few weeks ago in BJJ I was rolling with a guy, much more technical then me. I had about 75-100lbs on the guy and was a few inches taller so I wasn't doing too bad but I was more or less 100% defensive.

Were rolling for a good five minutes till my instructor pulls us apart cause theres blood going everywhere!

My gi top on my left side is covered in blood as is my left sleeve and the mat is spotted in our area. Some how a cut had opened up over the kids right eyebrow and he was bleeding like crazy. No idea how he didn't notice! (I was bottom N/S so I couldn't see his face) we stopped and got the mats clean but I still havnt gotten all the blood out of my Gi. Irksome

Oooo blood red gi! just like in the stories.

While doing Muay Thai awile back I was wearing boxers under my Thai shorts. You can probably already see where this is going. My package would flail around as I kicked. Nobody said anything so after class while kicking the air in the mirror I could see the problem. I never returned.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.....I could totaly understand this situation cause some thing like this similar happend to me but it wasnt during M.A training, I was just walking around one day with my zipper down....enough said, and I diddnt even know =/ and no one told me either
I diddnt let it bother me and got over it pretty fast. If the muay thai gym you went to was very good I wouldnt have quit over something like that lol, you should go back to your muay thai gym unless your already in a gym your interested in =).....LOLOLOLOLOL MUAY THAI SHORTS WITH BOXERS LOLOLOLOLOL

I don't know if this counts as training, but it's funny as hell.
back in the day when I was still in the army, I was one of the instructors on a shooting instructors course. and one day in the range we were practicing dropping fast to the ground and and shooting. (we have a word for it in Hebrew, I don't know how you'd call it in English)

Anyway, this is done by basically leaning forward placing your other hand (the one not holding the M16) on the ground and throwing your legs back as far as you can, so that you fall in to a shooting position.

This really sweet girl, well she forgot to place her hand first, needless to say she jumped vertically in the air and fell right on the concrete.
She was ok, her breasts were large enough to absorb most of the shock...

This happened 20 min ago. I'm over at the gym doing deadlifts. I squat, hear a large ripping noise. Next thing I know, there's a gaping pant hole from my ass crack up to the crotch.

This pudgy girl next to me tries hard to repress a giggle. I tell her it's a Russian thing, and taking a picture will make it last longer (not in a jackass way... in as much as possible.) What I don't count on, is her fucking camera phone.

From now on, deadlifts + parachute pants.

I got swept by wedgie a while ago, the guy grabbed my pants and underpants without realising and started pulling them up, I rolled over as he started pulling them up cause it was damn uncomfortable. He asked me how he swept me so easily that he doesnt usually get it with that little effort, I replied "Dude, you just wedgied me!" He went on to tell our coach very proudly.
