At work last night I was talking to this guy who took juijitsu about stances and stuff(I take karate), and well this other guy overheard us and said.."Yea, juijitsu is the best....I mean, karate's pretty and all, but it doesnt match up". I was like...excuse me :kaioken: . So I kinda laughed and ignored him. calling karate pretty....he wouldnt find it pretty if I kicked him in the head. :karate:

Yea, I dont know if he takes juijitsu or not....maybe he was just being a wise guy. I would like to take both if I had the time and money...maybe some day.

One thing I've learned to do is when people bad mouth my particular system is this..."Have you ever seen or practiced it?"

 

The SHADDUP!!! lol

 

Well...no, I don't tell them to shut up, but I do tell them that they are entitled to their opinion, and I to mine. To each their own.

 

All systems have their strong and weak points. Some have many more of one than the other I'm afraid sometimes, but that's another thread on a less tolerant forum I'd say.... :roll:

No offence to your jujitsu friend, but my current Uechi Ryu training is all about grappling. We assume that most fights start from a grab, a push or a sucker punch. If a person were to grab me, Like say maybe someone that practices jujitsu. They are going to the ground. I guarantee it. Don’t get me wrong, I think jujitsu is a great self-defense art. But karate isn’t Swiss cheese.

When i bump into someone who comes out with blatantly obnoxious comments like that, I take it as an opportunity to be counter-obnoxious with, "you're entitled to your ignorance."

 

Another one, considering this guy 'barged into' your discussion, would be to say something similar to, "yes, i did invite you into this discussion. Thanks for asking."

 

If, after that, they want to debate... at least i opened them up to listen. ;)

You should be really nasty when they say something like this without knowing anything about the subject. Just ask them how many years have they spent on that certain style. If they say they didn't train that style, smile and say: OK. We'll discuss when you'll know what you are talking about.

 

It's quite tiresome to just defend yourself from this stupid remarks. Like your style sucks, kata is a waste of time, karate (or any MA style) is detrimental ...

 

On a second thought, I guess even bothering to respond is a waste of time, maybe you should just turn your back :)
