Check Yourself

​Getting into fistfights is silly, getting into fistfights at grappling tournaments is idiotic. There is no reason that we should be waking up every morning of no gi worlds to footage of people throwing shots at each other in a grappling tournament. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t a very successful competitor, because to me it’s not that serious. I just don’t think it does anything for anyone. Nobody thinks you’re cool when you throw a strike at another competitor, you’ll probably be banned from the tournament, it makes you look stupid, it makes your team and your coach look stupid. Stop trying to get into street fights in sports, personally I think it looks even stupider when you’re in a combat sport and you attempt to use another combat sport to settle your issues. “Hey, you beat me in the martial art we both agreed to, let me act like a baby and try to beat you in a surprise altercation”. You aren’t that important, it’s not that important, be less dumb. Also, why does this happen so much more in No Gi?
