The MMA kid!
Green Belt
heres the story.
A tall black fellow, about 6'2/6'3 shows up for a sparring class. he is new to the school, but said to have trained in Ninjitsu or something or other. (he also said that he was self taught later that night)
anyways, our class is a cross of Muay thai and san shou. so kickboxing with takedowns.
gear- headgear, chestguard, boxing gloves.
since we are used to MMA-style training, we don't really react politely to unorthodox fighting.
he goes up a few times, grunting aloud and pounding his fists upon the ground to show aggression. (at this time some students were rather entertained)
since many student are new, we did not allow punches to the head, though kicks to the head were aloud. groin shots are a sure nono.
the guy hit to the face pretty much any opportunity he had. after several warnings, he was told to keep it to the body.
later on.
its my turn to go up. i go against the tall fellow. ( now im am 5'7 on good days) having a TKD backround i rely heavily on my kicks, and if they get too close, i go in for the takedown. He parries on of my attacks and crosses me in the face. I fall. another warning was given to the guy. I accidentally kicked him in the groin (indirect contact) he tells me "good groin shot" he then almost immediately smashes my groin with a full force kick, my entire private area feels as if it is on fire. so there i am, sitting on the ground, holding myself. I get up and finish the match after getting in a few good kicks to the head.
after a while my instructor calls the guy up to spar him. using no gloves. they go at it. my instructor throws his low kick and smashes into is leg like a baseball bat. he moves around a bit and does it again until the fellow switches to fighting southpaw (left handed)
-they clinch-
my instructor begins to throw punches to the back of the ear, then rains elbows on the back of his head.(about 2 or 3)
after this i use my "instructor voice" to say "break". my instructor shoves him out of the clinch, pointed to the door and said "get outta here" slaps the begeezes out of him, and repeats "get out!"
after the class was over, the fellow was waiting outside, sitting on top of his car, wanting to have a word with my instructor, my instructor walks out to meet him. from what i hear from my instructor, he apologized for his disrespect and will be joining monday!
I guess some people like to get ruffed up for initiation, im sure we'll look back on this and make fun of the guy! (ofcourse after we know him well enough to poke fun at him)
