Grappling was invented for Cowards

[Maui Jim]

I have over 20 years of stand-up background and a few now in BJJ and the first time I get into a fight I elected to take the guy down and arm bar him because he was a drunk friend of my brother's. I felt it was more of the right thing to do in the situation and not that I was afraid to duke it out with him. There's no rules in the street just a winner who uses the best tactic in the situation. Your first post on you taking slake shows your reservation to the possibly to grappling tactic being just another form of subduing your opponent and winning the fight no matter how it's done . For me to have consideration in the battle above only showed my concerns, not that I was a coward knowing how to execute well delivered punches and kicks.
Love to get you on the mat and see what you REALLY know and you set the rules, no hard feelings just technical skill. I think you should re-word your post in regards to being a coward to doing what it takes to win in any giving situation and being well versed in cross training.

Maui Jim:
Sure, I'd love to use you to clean your local dojo's mat. Tell you what, just send me a round trip ticket to Maui, get an AIDS test so I know you're not a freak-boy, and then make sure you have a big fatty (from local selection) that we can both burn ... while I can explain to you what you did wrong on the mat ... once you regain consciousness of course.

Whodajew:
You would "allow"? No, actually, I would call you what I want and then would laugh at your unathletic attempts to do anything about it.

Yours truly,

Joe

A, typing Ninja boy, give it a rest,
just a few more post and you
can get rid of your novice status.
I'll have a fatty ready for ya
but you'll have to swim over for it.
I'm not paying for 2 seats for your fat ass, LOL

I think the problem with this post is it's truth - grapplers suck in a speedo-wedgie at the thought of being hit, which makes their bone-clutching hug all the more vigorous, desperate and passionate.

Beatles
Let me take you down, 'cause we're going to...
Strawberry fields...
Nothing is real...
and nothing to get hung about...
Strawberry fields forever.

It's not that there's anything manly over getting slugged in the face...it's the dominion of being able to crunch a skull with a whipped power shot that causes those cowardly wedgies on our opponent. That's the magic.

Besides, real men don't even admit to being hit well. They take the shot, pull back their stare, bleeding and toothless, and know now it's their turn. They can take it. Grapplers can't.

And, for that matter, as Renzo said, "I will take my beating like a man, and not tap out, terrified." There's, at least, one warrior amongst the craven grappler, whose spine is nothing other than a yellow post waiting for the "surrendor" flag to rise up at the slightest bludgeoning discomfort.

Seize your man
Do-se-do
take him to the floor
and clutch him so

"I just don't want to be hit...that's the plan. I don't wanna be hit." said the man who quit in his corner, the gracie train that "thought it could" couldn't.

The glaring legacy of the cowardly grappler...

Yeah but we get cool T-shirts!

Fun fact:

Pure boxing is 0-3 in MMA competition. 2 of them tapped out, one from pure frustration. So much for "gameness".

The only successful "boxer" in MMA is Laverne Clark, whose GRAPPLING ability (high school wrestling, Miletich training) allows him to stay on his feet. Clark just got smoked by BJJ black belt Fabiano Iha.

How do you punch-drunk palookas explain this sad phenomenon?

[Ryu (non-working password]

It's obvious...they don't have cool T-shirts.

[Ronin]

Ryu:

If they wore T-shirts they couldn't wear silk bath-robes and show off their "man-nipples".

[Ryu (non-working password]

LOL! The whole "man-nipples", "man-panties", and "manwhore"
stuff is killing me.

Unfortunately, I have to get to bed. I have an early class tomorrow. Take care, Ronin, my friend.
Nice talking with you.

Ryu:

I concur.

Later, dude.

Joe my friend, you are the Ultimate Forum Champion. In a forum match, I would try and duck you like crazy dude.
