Originally posted by UpaLumpaQuestion,
If I went to one of the throwdowns with no striking training and asked you to teach me to jab and I had no training ever in striking what would you think the best advice you could give me would be?
If you did help me out some and my subsequent training was solely screwing around with friends, what then?
Also, thanks for the compliment, but no.

Originally posted by The QuestionHonestly, I wouldn't care that much. I would be too busy punching other people, or chillin'. You know, doing whatever I feel like.

Originally posted by The QuestionWAIT, WAIT, WAIT, hold the motherfucking phone. So it's cool to use the internet as a training aid, but not a throwdown, where the other people are present in human form, not just as contorted wisps of digital information? So someone shows up at a throwdown, raw, green, new, fresh, trying to see what all the BJJ fuss is about, and he is met with "fuck off, stupid noob"? Because that's what is being presented here. It is OK to use the internet as a training aid, or as a way of introduction to certain marshall arts, but attempting to use a throwdown as such is criminal?
Man, you guys are full of shit.
Examples of things I can do on the internet related to training that I can't realistically expect to do at Throwdowns:
Keep a training log
Share videos of myself competing and ask for feedback from skilled grapplers around the world
Keep in touch with likeminded people to work through problems, share advice, and exchange training ideas regularly
Since I have a good base in BJJ, occasionally pick up new techniques (I can think of 5 specific instances of learning techniques from the internet)
What I can do at the local MMA gym:
Spar with professional fighters, work on my wrestling and striking.
For comparison:
What I generally can't do at a Throwdown:
Pretty much everything I just listed.
What I can do at a Throwdown:
Drink beer, eat fatty food, and hang out with people from the internet. Maybe roll or spar with someone worth sparring?? Unless I specifically knew someone I wanted to roll or spar with was going, I wouldn't bother. But that's my individual choice. Go to throwdowns all you want, people. Just think about why you're there, and don't be a bitch if someone criticizes you for sucking. Even if they say it in a meanie voice.
And really, in how many different subjects do I have to school you before you just shut the fuck up and get your shine box?Last edited by Cassius; 4/17/2008 10:41am, ."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

Put yourself in the position of someone like JNP then, where people are (it sounds like) taking his time to spar and enjoy himself and putting him in the position of teaching. I assume SamboSteve's time might get similarly monopolized.
If cats do in fact monopolize JNP's time, that sucks. But sometimes if you're good, people ask you shit. If they ask you too much shit, say some wise and sagely shit like "don't worry too much about the techniques, it's all the same thing and it comes with practice, so let's roll".
I don't consider myself qualified, most of the time, to give effective criticism.

Originally posted by CassiusExcept for the part where I clearly said in my first post on this thread that I don't give a shit who shows up to a throwdown, but I do have a problem with people that suck for no particular reason getting defensive when they are taken down a few notches. So is your reading comprehension terrible, or are you just too ADD to actually read what I post before you respond to it?

I would tend to agree, but I'm not sure I understand this:
Originally posted by The QuestionThat's fair. Personally, I start talking shit on the internet about people I want to spar with. That way we're good to go by the time cats show up.
If you're only sparring, what's with the shit talking?

Originally posted by UpaLumpaHonestly, if Wastrel had done this to me in 2002 I would probably be at least a brown belt in bjj. I also would have left a crappy school much earlier.
This is why when I first roll with someone, depending on the individual of course, I like to pour the heat on so they know what they are in for. After those introductions are out of the way, I'm usually more laid back. But again it all depends.
If I know someone is a BJJ or Sambo player, then I'm less inclined to turn the roll into a pissing match, so I'm much less competitive. On the flip side of the coin, there are times I roll with someone who is completely new, and I can tell they are sincere at just getting down the basics, so again I barely give them a fight, and let them work their positions and submission attempts. Heck, sometimes I may even let them get a tap out of me if they set it up nice and clean.
In short, if I see someone is deluded, and they are talking about stupid shit, (yes, even saying something like, "I wrestled in HS, and did some JJJ so I think I'm competent on the ground" is labeled as "stupid shit" to me) then I go in to take them to town - for their own good of course :drunken_s
