I know this is an MMA forum and talking about streetfights is rather gay, but thought this was worth hearing.
One of the kids at my gym (www.vt1gym.com) is just 17, he has been state BJJ juniour champ and is still a white belt but is very close to blue. This kid is all technique and heart but is genetically pretty fragile (though we are building him up). He is also a decent striker as well, very solid hands and clinch but BJJ is his thing. Some of the guys might know him, names Daron.
Anyhow he was in byron bay over new years as school kids do and him and his friend (a new kid i been coching for a month) are walking back to their place after a night out and 20 drunk guys from the park they had to cross attacked them.
Now these kids are quite religious as well, really well brought up and there is NO WAY they started this, they dont even swear! LOL
They attacked the more experienced guy (who is 59 kg's!) and he managed to cover and block all their punches whilst dishing some of his own back but he was tackled to the ground in the mayhem, he ended up in his gaurd and manuavered(sp?) into spider gaurd where he pushed the guy off him and proceeded to buttscoot and boot everybody that tried to hit him while protecting his head till he could make space to run.
Him and his friend got away without any injuries and are damn lucky.
If this kid didnt know BJJ/MMA this woulda been a hell of alot worse.
Cowardly gangs make me angry to.
Just thought would let u know of MMA used succesfully against shitty odds.
Nuh they were drunk locals and he is a good little white boy doubt it was ethnically motivated .(who wants to fight on your show by the end of the year :P)
cool, a mma gym in Gordon!
I'm at Chatswood & have been wanting to train again for a while BUT
didn't know there was somewhere so close!
I better chuck on Bas' mma workout & get in a bit of shape & head the
f**k down there!
Update to the story, while he was blocking the punches he grabbed a guys head as he ducked it down to punch and knee him and thats when two guys tackled him to the ground. Apparently my story was wrong, he didnt make space to escape he actually buttscooted and booted them until they were like "fuck this its enough".
Go the buttscoot lol.
He said when they were throwing punches he was like "haha this is like training" in his head.
hahaha serious bro? Your a longtime member here !!
Yeh our advertising isnt extensive yet. Its a great gym, no ego, lots of fun and good training.
Come on down. Forget getting in shape, you do that in the gym!
The most common thing i hear is "hey i'm going to start running and in like a month when i am in shape i'll come down and train " bahaha never see them.
If its the beach thats across from the pub its a shitter of a park, some good shit goin on in the day such as ppl beatin bongos and strummin the Guitrs abd some cool juglin styles goin on but the beatin of bongos can change to beating on ppl at night. But as it was - Drunks, they usually are,put it to exeprience soak it up.
