Here ya go Dave. Don’t say I didn’t ever do anything nice for you
Resuming ongoing battle of wits vs. witless
Dude… he is a BJJ purple belt who runs a BJJ school. Testing people out on the mat is what he does. It doesn’t matter if you know or don’t know each other.
I suggested you roll (btw, if you really did have the grappling ability that comes from training with and against other grapplers, you would have known that rolling does not mean fighting) with him to see what a mid-level BJJ’er could do to you, as I think your perceptions of your grappling abilities are highly overrated.
If you have already rolled, then I stand corrected and I will ask.
Dragon Warrior-
Have you rolled with the Wizard here, and, if so, what level would you say his grappling abilities are?
Remind me never to train with that guy. I want to work with people who will train me, not test me.
At the time we never took it to the ground, but we were in no way point fighting. Rolling Jiu jitsu is not the world you are assuming that someone can actualy get me to the ground with out getting knocked out and none the less I’m very comfortable on the ground always have been.
As of now I have to fight stand up since rolling as you say is not an option for me since I just had a hip replacement.
How many times do I have to point that out but than again you already know that my cunning little troll.
If he is your instructor, that’s part of how he trains you. He not only watches as you test yourself against others of your own, as well as higher and lower levels. He also rolls with you to test you and see how your are progressing.
Everyone is always testing both their abilities and their training partners’ abilities. That’s built into the whole sparring and competition culture of BJJ.
Bwahahahahahaha!!!
My job is done here folks. Thanks for stopping by.
But that’s not what you’re implying. You gave me a negative impression of the guy. Actually, you give the sport a negative impression to the crowd who doesn’t train in the sport. Unfortunately, you are many people’s only impression of the sport. Are you hurting or helping BJJ by posting these things?
I don’t wanna say, “Knifefighter is bad for the sport”, but I think you get my drift.
Thanks Dale, appreciated…
Sorry Ross I didn’t mean to steal the spot light from your stupid fight, venturing onto the Negron vrs. Ross fight is what got me into this mess.
Anyway I will fight Dale when I am able to if it means that I have to travel to LA.
This is just an issue of time and money not to mention that Dale is inflexible about wher we will fight. I mean hell I might as well order a pizza and deliver it to your house.
dale will now respond by saying you issued the challenge ha ha like I’m supposed to be updated on where this private malitia cult is being held.
Do I want to roll with Dale sure but I don’t hate Dale like Ross hates Negron, I’m sure if it was the other way around and Dave had to fight Negron in LA he wouldn’t do it even though they are mortal enemies.
As far as my abilities ask Dragon Warrior if I’m the type of guy that’s afraid of a challenge.
In fact ask anyone who is in the tri state area ask them if they take me litely when it comes to stuff like this.
Dale I know your like a vampire and I invited you in but I’m not going broke to fly somewhere to fight a nobody unless it coincides with something productive.
I think this type of attitude is what upholds the integrity of BJJ overall. BJJ has always been about testing things out.
The first thing just about any BJJ guy will say to someone who doesn’t roll but claims they are “hard to lock out” is to stop on by to roll and test this out.
Would you fly here to fight a “somebody”?
Dale don’t change the subject Listen the fact is I made a mistake by not biting my tonge when you provoked me and I asked to fight you thinking that it would be at a suitable location for both of us.
If you and I had the bad blood that Dave and negron have I still wouldn’t fly out there unless you slept with my wife or stole money from me or something.
You don’t think that Negron NAAA what am I thinking
Gus, if you want to make an arse out of yourself arguing with Dale, I asked NICELY that I don’t have anything to do with it. Dale seemed to get it, why can’t you? Again, I strongly suggest you mind your own business, you certanly have your own hands full talking about your various skills in jujitsu, stick and knife fighting. Oh, and Pankration, I almost forgot about that one. Simply put, I don’t wnat to be associated with your comments on this and many other threads. Thanks, now please don’t try and drag me into your crap
Should I feel responsible for this?
Anyway, I have heard from other martial artist in NY that Sifu Gus was a badass that consistantly backed up what he said.
Yes, he did come on the floor and spar with me right after his hernia surgery. (I thought that was a bad decision by the way!)
Water Dragon,
I dont see how knifefighter has “hurt the sport” of bjj, or gave a negative impression of me by his statements on this thread. When we are “testing” each other in training, it is 95% of the time, a positive thing.
Also, if I meet a person or martial artist who claims to have trained in some kind of grappling I always invite them to my class (to “test” them). Usually my white belts control them and tap them out over and over again. They either say (as I did), “**** I’ve been training for years and I am getting my ass kicked by white belts. I have to learn this stuff.” Or they never come back either because their heads are to big to put a white belt on and get their asses kicked for a few months, or some other lame reason.
Anyway, Sifu Gus, if you really want to fight Knifefighter, I suggest you wait till you are healed up, and then do a little rehabilitation first. What’s the point of going somewhere to fight if you cant fight at your full potential. Also, you dont want to put yourself into a position where you can get hurt and be out of commission for a long period of time.
Dave take a chill pill why don’t ya, I was just responding to your attitude like youre to good to be implicated by this thread that knife fighter started witch was originaly called Ross vrs. Negron
If anything I Don’t want my name on this thread, but it seems that you and knife are good at deleting threads and then trying to recreate them.
Dave I don’t want to create an issue over this stupid juvenile thread just remember I never mentioned your name till you stepped in with your high and mighty remarks.
And I don’t know why you would bring up stuff that’s on my site do you realy want to go there??? Mr. exhaulted King of San Da.
the cutting and pasting is one thing but to delete a thread and then change the tittle is something that peves me off.
Not that anyone can go back and read the original thread but this all started when I was in the midst of congradulating dragon warrior on his new school.
Some how a nice conversation between two friends digressed into this crap and the knife fighter was the catalyst
Dave I would also caution you not to get personal if you know what I mean since we are training brothers and know a lot of personal things about each other. Lets keep our dirty laundry at home.
For now I’m done with this thread and you know what I’m done with this forum there are way to many a holes that just take away from this forum and I have more productive things to do. good day.
Can I get an amen?
One less Gong-fu fu-fu.
Now if we could just somehow drive off that pesky MK;)
…and all this dale and dave and john and peter and such, I mean - KF is much easier to type then dale and easier for us laymen to follow.
:rolleyes:
Exactly… good post.
Yeah, it’s not like we are friends or anything.
NOW my job is done.
You’re welcome folks.
