In my experience rolling with white belts, even white belts with extensive "street fight" experience, or ones who watch a ton of UFC... 4000% might be an under estimation.

I've seen several guys leave our martial arts school after being put in their place in the first two classes, saying "I have more of a hockey fight style".

even the level of difference between white belts is insane. but I think it's safe to say that once someone's made it to blue, they can bet money they'll take someone that's never trained.

Yeah I thought I was a bad ass because I did highschool wrestling, then I took up BJJ/MMA, it was about 3 chokes in I realized I didn't know shit about actually fighting

    You could basically describe the super minority as people who wrestle, or train any sort of fighting discipline.

    There are threads where you can talk about beating up guys twice your size without immediately casting doubt upon your statement. This probably isn't one of them.

    I usually think oh you sucker punched some fat kid. That's kind of shitty.

    the sucker punch is an excellent strategy because it is shitty.

      it's not about actuality. It's about presentation. Allow me to demonstrate.

      Onion Article: "Most people think they can fight but cannot." DirkPitt: "Guys, I can totally beat someone's ass, but this is totally true. Most people who say they can beat someone's ass can't. But I can. Really."

      See it's not about whether you can or can't, it's just that telling everyone how tough you are on this thread is going to make it seem farcical.

      As for my doubts, someone says they can beat my ass, my reply is always the same; "Maybe. I dunno. I haven't fought you." Well, unless we have fought, and then I like to reminisce over beers. or Whiskey. Anything with alcohol.

        Nah, ain't anyone's bad or anything. I was just trying to point out why I felt what you said was funny.
