Excuses I've heard the past few years after a blue belt taps to a lesser ranked opponent. (Said immediately after the tap)
I'm sore from last night's practice.
This new gi is really bugging me.
I have the flu.
My blood sugar is low and I'm dizzy.
You kicked me in the balls with your heel right before that armbar.
That's all I can remember for now. Please feel free to add or give your top ten.
Those are even better, because they usually involve the black belt warming up with show boating moves as well as explanations of their "touch of death".
(a) I wanted you to get that so that you know how to do it.
(b) I wanted you to get that so that I could see if I could take the pain.
(c). I wanted you to get that because the instructor was watching.
(d). I wanted you to get that so that I could show you the escape.
" We should do a thread of the favorite excuses black belt from other martial arts make after being tapped by BJJ blue belts"
Great idea. I'll add to it.
Blue belt fakes asthma attack after armbar tap and asks for inhaler from bag.
Nice move!
Good job!
Thanks!
At least that's how we do it where I train.
"I suck and don't deserve a belt, but I paid my instructor for one year already."
jkaz trains at a real school. Cause if someone says anything else, they are retarded. Nice move. Good job. This sounds like where I train also.
I take it you are a white belt.
" My favorite is when the Blue says they wanted to put themselves in the worst possible position to see if they could work out of it.... "
Actually our instructor tells us to sometimes allow guys start from sidecontrol or mount position and try to workout of it. If you keep working from the guard and you keep most people off, then its time to start working on defending incase your guard gets passed.
well, sometimes I do allow others to put me in a bad situation to try to get out of it. You just don't tell the other guy, lol, that makes you a fag.
Very True!!! When I do want to work from that bad position I usually start the match that way and let them know whats going on before we even slap hands.
Sometimes I do tell them that they caught me in something because they smell so good and I was so turned on I was distracted.
I usually say something like, "fu@#er!"
Wait! You folded my rib or something.
I'm a no belt. Me no likey paying for classes.
"There's a lot of wind in here. It really threw my game off."
I just tell people that move is illegal.
I like it when you're rolling with someone, totally tooling them, and as you're going for a move they start coaching you in how to beat them, like they're not really trying. Sometimes I try to expand my repertoire going for moves I'm not that good at (say collar chokes) and that's when I really get an earfull of advice.
training is where you are supposed to risk getting caught trying new things... Especially against white belts. Who gives a shit if they catch you, it isn't a competition in class. I really don't like training with people who come to class looking to "win".
