Originally posted by HedgeThe last couple texas throwdowns have been good due to a preponderance of competent grapplers, tasty barbeque and cheap liquor. But these remain in the minority.
Originally posted by The QuestionI disagree. He sucks at striking. Which makes him a bitch.
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*
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.Last edited by Matt W.; 4/15/2008 3:33pm, .

Originally posted by jnpI 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.
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.
