Got my ass kicked...TWICE

[liffalot]

Hey man I'm all for it. I'm not a proud guy to be honest with you. I dont care what other people think, and yea, when I stood up to a 320 lb judo champ I ended up on my back getting pummeled.

I didnt care, none of my buddies held it against me, nobody said anything about it. Call me what you want, but life lessons like that got me to the point where I just carry my wicked 12 inch bowie in my pants when I know I'm going somewhere dangerous.......and anywhere else I've got the 6 inch cold steel. Call me what you will, but it gets you out of any tight situation thus far.

Haha and thats funny that you mention that. My friends dad had a situation with a lineman in a bar like that where he went home and drilled out a bat, filled it with lead weights, and went back and busted some knees. It works my friend, it works.

every artist was once an amateur

That is good wisdom, right there.

To Eric: If it's not hurting you to the point of needing medical treatment, get back on that horse and keep going.
You will get better over time, as you get experience.

Fighting for real aint nothing like PS3, so give it real sweat mate. too good.

Yeah, but some start off with natural talent and ability, while others develop at a much slower rate.

I'll tell you one thing though: though people are born with talent, nobody is born used to being hit in the face.

It doesn't seem like much but taking fists to the face is much harder to get used to than you think, In my opinion thats the biggest obstacle.

Yep.

It causes fear in most men. I still am not past it, but I don't mind sparring and getting tagged so much anymore.


Getting hit in the face sucks, especially if someone lands one square on the nose.

I'd rather takes 10 jabs to the face than one big roundhouose to the ribs. That shit will kill you, hahaha.

I wouldn't say that. I've sparred at 90 % with guys who have blackbelts in karate, national champs in taekwondo, champion kickboxers, and mma guys who have all kicked me hard to the body, it don't hurt anyless then a great solid punch from high level boxers. Infact, I've never been hit any harder. Woke up the next day, I couldn't even move, I was peeing blood, my ribs were broken, and had to be in the hospital. No other form of combat has been able to touch me enough or hurt me enough to make me withstand that. To this day, being hit to the body by a good puncher, scares the hell out of me.

Hah nothing like a beating to take you back to reality, most people that start training think they are better than they are, the good news is you will get better with time, I tried mma for a few months and damn how I got manhandled in wrestling by the bigger guys and even the smaller guys, Jujitsu was even worse. And I took a lot of punches to the face when I was younger(lets just say being skinny and never backing up is not a good combination), I could never feel them right away and I would not say I'm used to it but I did get beaten up and I'm not that scared of getting punched, I am of getting my teeth knocked out though.

"The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero projects his fear onto his opponent while the coward runs. 'Fear'. It's the same thing, but it's what you do with it that matters". Cus

 

[SmokinGuns]

I wouldn't say being more aggressive is the key, id say learning a little boxing might help but thats just my opinion. A little boxing goes a long way.
