Stupid People Get Choked
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this to anyone on here, but I recently gave up on training my brother (because, in my honest opinion, he's a whiny punk) and so he's gone to train with a friend of his at a local kickboxing gym where they offer an "MMA" class.
It's a karate and kickboxing school, but I won't mention the name as some of my past opponents who I still have some respect for train out of there and one of the instructors is a nice guy.
Anyway, I went to pick him and his friend up from the class and ended up talking to the guy who was teaching the class. I had noticed that there were a few submissions he was missing some pretty serious details on (he didn't get the whole "good triangle/bad triangle" thing and his guard was really off), but we just talked shop, about how my bro was doing and whether or not he should be competing out of this gym (I'm fine with it, he just wanted to make sure it was cool with me).
He through the idea of rolling out there, and I had my stuff in my bag, so I went and changed and put my gear on, and he decided to get a small crowd and clear the ring out so we could use it. I thought it was a little much, but I wasn't going to say anything, I just decided I'd show him what I had.
This guy decides to come out at me like I'm a serious opponent, I guess trying to assert his "alpha male" status or something, and so I pull guard and choke him out with a triangle in about 20 seconds when he starts flailing his arms on me (spider guard transition, for those who are curious). I didn't say anything about it, wasn't going to make a big deal out of it, but obviously, beating him in front of his students, he had to.
He does the whole "oh, I was going easy... you got lucky... you can't do that again..." bullsh*t, and so I offer to do it again.
Then this guy makes an off hand comment about my mother. I don't think it was intentional, but for those who don't know me, my mother is deceased, and it's a bit of a sore subject. My brother, and I'm a bit proud of him for this, restrains himself, but I decide, and I will defend this decision, to really beat this guy into the floor (at some point, it's not a matter of respect, it's a matter of him being a c*nt).
So, instead of coming out and banging with him, I shoot (which I don't do very often), slam him off the double leg, take mount and grind him out with the forearm until he rolls and I finish with the RNC.
I manage to calm myself off and leave, and apparently the head instructor, who I've met before and is a generally good guy, talked to him about it afterwards. Still, I'm not really sure if I handled the whole thing properly. I'm just glad I didn't let the hands go, and I'm glad I can handle him with my grappling (otherwise I might be picking his teeth out of my gloves).
