When you start training for the first day dont ever go 100% just because you have watched the ufc and think u can emulate everything you do.

This guy pissed everyone off today...it was his first day and he was already axcting like he was in the ufc...he was sparring this tall black dude whose been thai boxing over a year..he goes 100% and manages to break a 200 dollar timer and our head instructor who isnt evebn coaching the thai boxing class gets pissed and stops the class to tell everyone to calm down and to always be aware of our surrondings...so thats strike 1 for the guy

So the next class rolls by and its the mma class..so we were working some jabs and a right fake into a left hook..then some dirty boxing and kicks...so then we strart sparring...now Ive been training for a good year so ya know id like to think im somwhat decent..so im sparring 2 guys in a row who openly tell me to just go 20 % cuz there new and thats a ok with me...so i go with the *** who broke the timer and i ask him how long he's been training and he says this is his first day "but im good" so the next thing i know im being front kicked and tae kwon doe kicked pretty hard..im not wearing shin guards so i cant kick..and hes kicking me and im telling him to stop..so he oes ok..im just goin like 30 percent so he starts jabbing and right crossing me 75%...im a nice guy too..ya know im not a fighter by heart so i didnt really think to punish him for going hard like that..our instructor told us 50 % and this guys goin mr ufc on me...i told him to calm the **** down this isnt the ufc and he has a smirk on his face like oh im so good im kikcin this guys ass...at the end i was talking with other peoiple and they wetre saying the same thing...my instructor told me i should of just hit him back hard and played ruff with him since he thought he was so tuff..at the end i go up to him and ytell at him and tellin him if it was a real fight he woulda been fucked up...and he still has a smirk on his face then tells me he trained mma 8 years ago

i think he's lying he was doing tae kwon doe kicks and push kicks and shit and they didnt look like they were made up it looked like he had some real training...and 8 yrs ago is bull shit he wouldnt of been able to keep the technique..

but idk im just really mad at myself for letting him get away with all that i should of just ******* hurt him

he was like "u should just clip me when im goin to hard"
man i shouldnt have to clip u we shuld have an understanding of how hard were gonna go

sorry im prolly rambling but hopefully some ppl can reelate


i hate ***** ass motherfuckers who watch the ufc and think they can fight..were not even in the cage

There's this fat kid at my school that always goes 100% in the MMA class. Always throwing haymakers when our instructor clearly says to go about 50%. But that just makes it that much more satisfying when I dominate him. He kinda throws his punches like Hendo (except he isn't good like Hendo), in that he ducks his head when he throws. So when he tried to throw it's easy to nail him with an uppercut, plus he's really slow, so I can back up Machida style and make him look, and feel, stupid with counters.

ya he sounds like a tool man, personally when im sparring ill start at 50% then ill just go harder if the other person is. Or I'll throw a kick like 80% and see there reaction and if they dont mind ill keep going at 80%, I just do whatever my partner is fine with.

but that guy sounded like an idiot

Liver shots work well for these situations.

Aside from that, emphasize to the spaz that it is only training. Have other people emphasize to the guy that it is only training. Have your trainer emphasize to the guy that it is only training.

If he insists on continuing on after that, see above.

Happens a lot.

I remember this guy who joined our school. On his first day he shows up late and just stands outside looking in watching all of us sorta like he is trying to stare us down. When he walks in he stops in the door and kicks the top of the door frame. Everyone in there was wondering.... WTF?

After about a week he started to try to get rough if a few guys in the school who aren't that tolerant and patient. Oh man was that entertaining.

Mhhhm man dont feel bad atleast by not retaliating u showed u can control your emotions, which is always good because if u think with ur emotions then ur head it might go south right away.

Done feel bad bro. This same shit happened to me like 7 months ago, and Im still pissed about letting the tool get away with it. his first class he was asking about "advance classes." Im the first to spare with this tool. He says Me and my cousin use to box each other alot. Sensei says go 40percent, so I go 40% no problem. Next thing I know this tool is throwing all he has in his punches. I let him get away with it. Damnit!Well he came to liek one more class, and that was the last we seen of him. I never got to spare with him again. rant over

I've never sparred MMA with a new guy, but I've rolled with plenty of big, new aggressive guys. Fortunately, on the ground, they're f'ed, even if we're throwing punches. I'd be much more worried standing up with one of them.

I've only been training for a year, but it's enough to make crazy mofos settle down or quit. Monday, I rolled with a new guy who had obviously wrestled in high school. He was spazzing hard and getting egotistical. I took his back repeatedly, but he wouldn't learn. I tried to tell him how to avoid having me take his back from guard, but his pride was getting in the way. Fortunately, most people settle down and figure out that they don't know jack.

Considering the regretful attitude of other people with similar stories, and the reality that 'controlling yourself' didnt really offer anything positive. It's safe to say that you should have clocked the guy and you missed your opportunity. I think it's a moral obligation to advise peeps to avoid the regret.

:laugh:

I deal with these kind of f*ckers all the time. They roll with my newer training partners and they don't know how to handle it, so I just take the guy aside and explain it to him, and then I roll with him.

If he does it anyway, I throw on a twister (always with the full twister roll) or a gogoplata from the mount to show 'em who's boss.

There are alot of guys who are afraid to play the alpha dog game because they're worried about hurting somebody. Once you're a senior student, it's part of your job to do that with the new pseudo-tough guys.

Don't hurt him, just let him know who's in control.

Dude you should ask your coach/trainer to implement a "challenge rule". At the boxing gym I go we do tons of sparring, at least 80% of the classes are sparring. A guy is going to hard or endangering other members and they have been warned but aren't changing, you "challenge" them.

Its not a fight its a change in sparring partners, and both are instructed to go 80%. A refusal means they are done for the training session.

It helps keep people in check, and under control.
