    Your response to the young man trying to take your head off was beautiful. A lot of folks try to answer back with heavy shots to the head but your approach favored was leg kicks, punishing shots to the body, and most importantly deceptive head movement to make him punch air. Even though he was in great shape he was absolutely exhausted at the end of the round. This is a great lesson in fighting overly agro opponents, AND in finding ways to turn what could have been a chest beating contest with a teenager into a genuine lesson. The more I watch of your content the more I admire you as a martial artist and teacher!

    We had a guy that came for a few times in our gym, one day he went hard sparring on a girl weighting 1/3 of him.
    She didn't say a word, neither did we.
    But the next round he was paired with a semi-pro boxer with infinite stamina that would spend most of his days punching holes in the bag.
    This story ends with the first guy never showing up in the gym again.

    I had the exact same experience today. One of the guys at my gym who is physically a lot stronger than me was going super hard. I decided not to fall into the trap of escalating the situation so I kept my lighter pace despite continuously getting bombs thrown at me. Then he asked me to go harder cuz he wanted to workout. I was like nah and just kept going at my own pace nice and technical. In the past I would have been very emotional but I’m pleased with how I maintained my composure. Gotta say it’s thanks to what jeff and my other coaches taught me about manners during sparring.

    I remember GSP saying something along the lines of (to paraphrase) "Some people leave their entire careers in the gym." and the first guy is an example of just that. Your composure is commendable. It takes great skill & emotional intelligence and to deal with a loose cannon like that. Young fighters need to learn the importance of controlled sparring. Coaches need to emphasise this on young fighters too.

      I remember that quote of his, too. Part of the problem, Retro, is that the kid's clearly been pegged as the "superstar" of the gym, as if the number of people watching him fight Jeff wasn't giving that away. No surprise at all here. He's just 16 and fights better than most adults. I mean, Jeff's a literal pro and the kid was giving him fits at the beginning. He's that good. Which means lots of purse potential over what is hopefully a long career because he's so young. He's a walking cash cow and in every sport that kind of athlete ends up surrounded with yes men who aren't necessarily looking out for the young athlete's best long term interests. One can only hope for the best.

      Did you ever notice most of the world kickboxing champions are from the Dutch school? This is why. Cause they have 200 "fights" every year instead of just 3-4.

My back gets so stiff that if I want to bend down my body squats instead. I’m in constant pain. But by Sunday/Monday I can begin to move again and can’t wait for Tuesday to start training.
