His beef was my in laws were noisy & waking him in the morning (I was literally in the process of taking them to the airport so his beef was gone)<br /><br />Fortunately there was no violence involved. Without writing an essay about it I'm just saying that being attacked in your car happens.

Its funny that people never believe these kind of stories - I think its because like a bit of basic boxing, BJJ vs an untrained drunk guy will make you look like you have super powersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522635130176782758.post-91868747324436310812013-09-25T23:07:52.179+01:002013-09-25T23:07:52.179+01:00I think I'd prefer a choke... a lot easier to ...I think I'd prefer a choke... a lot easier to defend doing that in court. But if I had to, I'd do anything... but then I guess the good thing about the control BJJ gives you over someone who doesn't grapple, is it's highly unlikely you'd be forced to use a specific sub.Tattooed Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965324499213738722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522635130176782758.post-73090078421208467742013-09-25T15:22:15.734+01:002013-09-25T15:22:15.734+01:00Would you arm bar someone in a street fight?

Agree with you on the fact though that 99% of fights can be avoided by general self-awareness and avoidance. I've known plenty of people that claimed 'trouble follows them around' and 'they never start fights' but when there's a drunk lairy guy causing trouble in a pub etc, they don't think to just go drink somewhere else but will happily stay there and eyeball the guy.<br /><br />Picking your socialising venues and activities is also the other easiest way to avoid trouble - I've had two incidents that were straight up unheralded attacks and only one of those was what I would describe as truely unavoidable (walking past a random racist smackhead in brixton; where I was living at the time)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522635130176782758.post-40812206018728507052013-09-13T20:24:38.929+01:002013-09-13T20:24:38.929+01:00I have no problem with people handing out a beatin...I have no problem with people handing out a beating to people who start fights. I think allowing revenge attacks in general would be a bad thing though.<br /><br />Obviously any repercussions are the main downside... I guess knowledge of an instructor doing something like that might also put off some potential students. Although I'm guessing Renzo wouldn't care about missing out on them.<br /><br />I do think the world/country would be better if victims of crime had the option to have a 5min MMA round with the perpetrator :) Tattooed Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965324499213738722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4522635130176782758.post-65715740803456048952013-09-13T13:56:45.890+01:002013-09-13T13:56:45.890+01:00Out of interest, how would you compare your experi...Out of interest, how would you compare your experience to that infamous Renzo altercation from <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1326065-uhdid-renzo-gracie-live-tweet-assaulting-some-random-guys-in-new-york-city" rel="nofollow">a year ago</a>, where he DOES beat up the guy and indeed take photos? <br /><br />As you probably remember, that struck a lot of people at the time as a very unusual thing for a professional BJJ instructor to do, but he doesn't seem to have had any repercussions from it.slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.com
