Who has been challenged?

[Shizentai]

I have been unexpectedly challenged while visiting a friend.

My friend's roommate jumped me and started wrestling with me, he was doing OK for the first few seconds then I pinned him down; he submitted.

His excuse was that he was curious if I could really defend myself. Lucky for him that I didn't pound him in to the ground.

That sounds kind of funny. It's so awkward when friends want to play-fight. I feel like when no rules are established ahead of time, it's hard to know what the objective even is.

Shizentai you are exactly right.

Never been challenged and never seen a situation that was too wild. At my last school a guy wanted to take classes and asked to spar the instructor though. He was persistent and ignorantly disrespectful in an oblivious that he was crossing a line way. After enough hounding my instructor sparred him. He lit the kid up until he asked to stop. He joined hahaha!

Also, a student once was going hard on the same instructor in sparring. I heard something hit the mat real hard and looked over and it was that student, and my instructor letting him know not to do that again. Agh I miss that place. Closed down as he moved to Japan, fun memories.

I took part in a challenge match. Sizable kung fu guy came in and wanted to challenge jiu jitsu so they had myself as a purple belt and a shorter smaller blue belt for him to fight.

No rules, gave him the option to wear gloves (which he declined). Merely said "if you bite or eye gouge, we'll react accordingly."

Both myself and the blue belt were MMA fighters so we were quite comfortable with it. His first was with me and it was classic clinch, takedown, mount, smack him about a bit, then finish with RNC. Of course he wants to go again, so Im sure to do the same exact thing so he doesnt think its a mistake.

Not having luck with me, my instructor recommends he try fighting the smaller blue belt, but hes much more aggresive and meaner than I am and immediately takes him down and starts dropping elbows on the guys face- he tapped quite quickly.

So after that was done, my coach encourages the guy to come in for a class so he can learn why it was he lost. The guy refused saying that if he just trained a little more with his kung fu he thinks he could come back and win. At this point my instructor points out how nice we were (at least myself) when we fought and if he came back again and challenged us we would hurt him much worse. He never came back and presumably never learned why he lost.

Perhaps the Kung Fu man went home to practice up on his chain punching techniques; for his next close encounter.

I have heard that "chain punches" are very fast and very difficult to stop; perhaps it was just luck, that he didn't use them.

How do you know he didnt try?
