I don’t know if being put in a headlock and thrown on the floor amounts to bullying lol
Learned wing chun for 6 months + casually once a week back 9 years ago.
This cocky 6'1" 13 year old guy at our school thought he could take me, but it wasn't an all-out scrap it was a fight at light sparring intensity because he didn't want to get hurt. I didn't want to trigger him into swinging like an ape so I just kept it light. I really was not good then, all I really did was "control the centerline" and I rushed through him the chain punches that I drilled. I overwhelmed him and his head fell on to a vertical surface. I asked if he were okay, he replied that he was fine but out of frustration he used most of his strength to shove me back really hard. I was caught surprised and didn't have a good stance then so I flew backwards. He asked that I went again but i kept winning.
This guy ended this weird ego exchange by saying that I was not bad, but if he used grappling he would have destroyed me. "But why didn't you do a takedown?" I wondered in my mind but I didn't want to argue with this idiot so I just said 'sure'.
9 years later, I am still doing wing chun and man I could have sent him to the shadowverse with my current skills
Scrape me man how you got so popular comunist terrorist
Just so we are all CLEAR. His story of being put in a headlock and thrown to the ground and NOT getting punched in the face after talking shit to someone is NOT an example of bullying. It is an example of someone with self respect and self control and maturity standing up for themselves and setting a boundary. Like when you watch dogs play and one gets too rough and starts to push it and it’s not fun anymore and gets corrected by the mama dog) Sounds like it worked bc Rogan says he avoided that guy after that. 😂 Real bullies thrive off of picking on the weak.
I gave my own bully an origin story when i was in high school. I warned him for years to lay off. He kept smacking me in the head and calling me shit every time we passed each other in the halls, in class you know, where ever we saw each other. When I finally did something back at the end of high school I caught him in an amateur rear naked chocke (neither of us had any martial arts experience) and I was so angry at him that despite his tapping for getting out I only chocked him harder with everything I had. People saw it, broke it up and saved him. The dude went on to take muay thai classes and LITTERALY 2 years later took the gold medal in a national championship.
