lol dude you are arguing from a perspective of morality in a sport where i dont think you get it, but the entire point is hurting people

you tried to invalidate his argument from you know experience and know-how with "well thats not how i would do things"

you are arguing something you know nothing about from the stances of your feels rather than literally anything concrete

Go under their ankle and figure four your other hand that's grabbing their toes, do not apply pressure, instead wait for them to recognize the position and acknowledge it so that you don't hurt them

Which is why that wasn't in quote tags. Are you familiar with the concept of "restating" as a tool of rhetorical analysis? Have you ever talked to an actual human being? Are you in fact a robot and your rigorous interpretation of the First Law is what is causing this unfortunate conflict?

Yes, we know you did not say those exact words (that is why he did not use the "quote" function of the SomethingAwful forums, so that everybody would recognize you did not say those exact words). However, it is a totally accurate summary of your position. He could have added "comically ill-informed and self-righteous" without compromising accuracy.

You seem to fully understand neither the nature of combat sports, competition in general, or how to structure an argument. And you DEFINITELY don't understand how to present yourself as anything other than a sanctimonious know-nothing.

E: now im pretty sure we're being trolled.

Even as a competitive fencer in high school and college you got hosed up and tucked up your opponents in competition. I once got my God damned arm pit ripped open badly enough to bleed through my lead underarm protector. High. School. Fencing.

BJJ is awesome, chill compared to a ton of things, but sure as gently caress meant as a sport in which you literally try to break your opponent. The softy in me might not flip a person onto concrete in a competition if I could help it but I certainly wouldn't worry about it if it happened and I would drat well expect my opponent to do it to me given the chance.

Some of y'all are high if you think competing = thug.

Ichi you are new to combat sports if I'm not mistaken and your sentiments are nice but during a competition you must put your faith in the refs and the sanctioning bodies to protect the competitors. Competitors are only obligated to compete as well as they can.

Me coming into this thread. Only not as good looking or black.



Honestly I train BJJ partially for self defence because I don't want to ever punch anyone in the face if they're aggressor-ing on me, because there's poo poo in the news all the time about guys getting punched once, falling over and breaking their brain on the footpath. Regardless who is right or wrong in the eyes of the law, I'd rather not have that on my conscience.

The other reason is because it's awesome exercise and rad as gently caress to train. I haven't competed yet because I've only been going for about six months, but I wrestled in high school, 17-something years ago, and my nose is still bent a little from one time I got dropped on it and ground into the mat, and that was the least of the poo poo that happened during competition. Competition is about winning, and pausing to consider whether the maneuver you're going to attempt in order to win is morally defensible is probably a really good way to lose. Lots of people train lots of combat sports and never compete, maybe that's what people who have a problem with the possibility of their opponent getting hurt should do. It's still going to be great fitness and cool fun even if you don't compete.

Well, at least now it's over.
I've gotta admit, I sometimes trip out on the moral implications of our sport too. Like, consensual violence is still basically violence, right? And what does that mean for me as a pacifist? In fact, I think that kind of sensitivity to the ethical implications of our actions is good, just like it's good to be aware of their legal ramifications. But calling a room full of people who are trying to reason with you bullies and thugs is just asking for trouble.

So like, if you're choking a guy and he gets a blood clot and dies because of your arterial manipulations, is that like unintentional assisted suicide or what?
