A shirt I found

[Dennis Monk]

A certain friend of mine, who lives in the same town I do and Mods on this website, would love this shirt.

It can be found here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=36280&item=7115668189&rd=1)

I have actually said that to someone before. I was wrestling with a friend of mine who was bigger than I. I got him in a RNC, but I wasn't sure if he knew anything about submissions, and I wanted to make sure that he knew the most efficient way to make me stop. The funny part was that I said it before I started to squeeze, so his initial response was "Huh?" Then it was "Grrkchn."

In a similar vein, I think there's a submission fighting school called "Tap or snap." I thought that was pretty clever. I'm sure Tim Sylvia doesn't.

Where would somebody buy that shirt? :D

LOL :D

Pointless post but similiar experience.

I used to invite my closest buddies from high school over to my garage that was set up as a dojo. They in turn would invite others over and it turned into a mini 'fightclub' - most ever attended was 8-9 kids.. was pretty cool and the major difference was that we weren't hurting each other. It was all out submission wrestling. This one friend was an average varsity wrestler, proficient... it was his first sumbission match and I explained to him what the procedure is for quitting or giving in, tapping out... he proceded to fight the headlock I placed him in and even after placing him in the hold, I gave him another chance to realize his position but he wouldn't yield and started making that grhnnckn sound. I stopped before he passed out, enabled him to calm down and overall, I was too afraid if it was taken further. Was great to see their level of curiousity about something they knew practically nothing about, reminded me of myself 3 years earlier. They kept coming back trying to understand the ground. I suppose that's what it's like to be an instructor.

I have one of those funny experiences myself. I was asked by a friend what I would do in a situation where I was fighting with someone and had an opportunity to end the situation quickly. He knows where I work and what I do. And he also knows that unlike some people think, we don't just beat everyone up that we get a chance to. This is where submissions can come into play. Lesser chance of injury to anyone involved, and if done properly, quick and efficient.

Long story short. I explained a RNC to him, showed him how to apply it and let him put it on me, so he could see actually where the arms need to be. He was much more of a quick learner than what I expected. The next thing I know I had that eery buzzing sound/feeling (you know what I mean). I was almost out before I remembered, "Duh, tap his arm." He looks at me and asked, "Did I get it."

"Yeah man, you got it." :D

Xi,
....Why would you want that shirt...you don't practice any form of submission wrestling, much less BJJ. I read you're profile and it says u practice "Tai Kwon Doe(Nice spelling...), aikido, and boxing was it?...further more your creating your own art? After which you will "join" the UFC..

Also in another post, you specified the amount of time in each which was 3 years in TKD, 1 year in Aikido and limited boxing?...

First of all you do'nt 'join' the UFC...you fight for years and years in little crackpot slum-joints that you lose money at even when you win all the while training in more martial arts than years that you have lived.

Secondly...regarding your aspiration of creating your own art...Based on your level of experience about the only martial art you're going to create is poser-jutsu, which you seem to be doing quite well.

Oh, by the way...I appoligize for my weakness, as I'm sure plenty of others are thinking the same thing but has the will to simply ignore you.

Don't you know that ignorance is bliss?


Perhaps you should answer the question though... it is a nice shirt :)

I think I like the "Tap or Snap" better, but "Tap out or Pass out" works too heh.

My jiu-jitsu instructor has a thing for t-shirts. He has a few that I love:

If jiu-jitsu was easy, they'd call it karate"

"Caution, does not play well with others"

"If you can't take the pain, dont play the game"

"If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch"

"If your not a black belt, shut the f**k up"
