    I disagree. He sucks at striking. Which makes him a bitch.

      Mostly the barbecue. The Austin TD crew would probably receive a passing grade from Omega or Asia, so don't go thinking we're all superbad.

      I suck at striking. Does that make me a bitch too?

      Actually Hedge doesn't suck. His striking is better than he thinks it is.

      Don't tell him I said that.
      Shut the hell up and train.

        Hedge's points: *Digest Version*
        I know (or at least strongly suspect) you meant that as a slam on Hedge, but I think you actually hit the nail on the head.

        1. You know what? I actually train, but as a Judo whitebelt/dabbler/crappler my time would be better off training at my club than going to a throwdown. Not to mention the fact that, at my level, I am not going to "enlighten" anyone other than complete grappling newbs that aren't much bigger than me and I am also not fit to instruct (aka "help") other crapplers with my vague sounding advice consisting of "something, something, hips".*

        2. This is also true, pretty much for the same reason as #1.

        3. This one I'll change and reference Deus' point again. If people like that do show, it should be an opportunity for them to learn by destroying their illusions and delusions. Theories should be tested. That doesn't mean it has to be a gong sau death match. But there should be no mollycoddling that leaves people thinking, "You know, my 8 years of point karate didn't fare that badly! Guess I'll keep doing it for another 8 years."

        4. I disagree with a lot of what Hedge says. But in this case I agree with his basic message.

        Now, having said all that, let me add... I am not criticizing anyone's specific performance. I am only talking about throwdowns in general. I also am not telling anyone to not go to a throwdown. I myself would still go if there was people there I really wanted to meet, or people that are good that I would be having the opportunity to train with for free. But the first reason would be better served by having a beer together and the second is a different situation from what Hedge is talking about.


        *Thanks for that line Boyd. I use the hell out of it now, since it really struck a cord with me.

          Yes. Yes it does.

          Well, I hope he has a very, very low opinion of it.


          Who wants to grapple when you can punch motherfuckers anyway?

            I'm still kind of up in the air over whether I like Park Ji Yoon more or Hyori.

              Ooooo...tough...

              I'm gonna go with Hyori. She's got more meat on her bones & she's dirtier, or so I've heard.

              That being said, Park Jiyun has cute lips.

                I do. If I choke you unconscious, you will no longer be able to hit me. Afterwards, while you're napping, I can slap a sign on your back that says, "Looking for love." and then exit the area at my leisure.
                Shut the hell up and train.

                  Does your wife know you intend to exit the ?'s area at your leisure?

                    Hedge, How the hell would you want this enforced? Or what Rules/stipulations would you like to see put into future throwdowns?

                      That was the impersonal "you" as I derive no pleasure from provoking the question.

                      I don't talk about the people I anally rape after I choke them out. That's just bad manners.
                      Shut the hell up and train.

                          As if I'd get choked out by some purple belt who can't punch.

                          I was at an MMA show on saturday, and in the main event one of the fighters kept trying desperately to pull guard, and was rolling to the ground at every opportunity. At which point I thought "why the fuck are you here if you don't wanna punch?". Fuck that. You better be able to punch. If you can't punch, you're worthless.

                            There is no rape. There are only...diabetic seizures.

                              After reading this thread, I honestly don't want to go to TD's.

                              for one: The question will be there.

                              and most of the more experienced members show not interest in helping out us less rounded and less competent , by beating our faces in.

                                So we should weed out those who aren't training properly and show up at throwdowns? Does this mean we'll adopt a format where whoever loses has to pay for drinks or something, to ensure people only show up to win?

                                I'm confused as to what hedge wants us to do about this.
