Bring him to your gym and see how he did and he’ll see how the gym respect you.
honestly i think u are hanging around the wrong guys but,stick to ur guns respect what ur teacher tells u and always seek answers from him, when the time is right u wont ever have to think that u need respect …in time u will understand this , jus stick to ur classes and try to do ur best everytime.
What sounds stupid is that you and your friends had a fight club to begin with. Even a good MMA trainer will tell you that would be stupid. You want real respect from people that matter then join either a real martial arts school or an MMA gym, train hard, get good, build a reputation as a talented fighter and you just may get it.
No real martial artists, even MMA fighters would respect street punks fighting in their backyards.
you need to do one thing first and foremost….you must have respect for yourself. and what is your idea of respect because a lot of people confuse respect with fear. so are you seeking respect as a person or do you want the guys at the gym to fear you in the cage? respect is earned and not given freely. be confident in yourself….always! even in the face of adversity stand tall and also remember a dose of humility keeps confidence from growing into arrogance. Do not brag about anything, rather acknowledge others’ contributions to your successes and you will see a change in others image of you.
kick his ass nd shit on him
Don’t gush all over yourself. It makes you look like you don’t get enough attention.
Fighting is the worst way to get yourself respect, because as you probably figured, it’s only temporary. A good, friendly attitude, and a little humor will get you far more respect than a six pack and a seven fight winning streak ever will. If you’re a prick to everyone who wants to show you up, sooner or later, one of them will. And they won’t play by the rules.
Don’t worry about friends saying you couldn’t beat them. They’re just flexing their muscles. You know what I do when people do that to me. I just agree with them. They say, “I bet I can still kick your butt.” I just reply, “I bet you can too.” End of discussion
I know what I can do. What do I care if they believe it or not? They can continue believing whatever they want. Deception has always been one of the best fighting tools. But you already knew that, right? Now you just need to apply that to real life.
u cant get respect like that…
im the same way kinda.
im 5’9″ around 125-130lbs.
I have alot of respect but thats because i fight for my friends…when ever shit goes down im right there. that and im the “friendly psychologist” in my friends group. other people out side the group respect me 2 for the same reasons.
respect is something u earn by loyalty n sacrifice.
all this was there even before i started taking martial arts
honestly muscles dont matter in mma(6pack) and honestly if you dont gain at least 20 pounds and cut weight from 135-125(flyweight) you’re not going to survive in mma because there is no weight class under 125 and everyone gets underestimated people thought i wouldnt be able to hang in mma at bantamweight cause i was tall and lanky but with my muay thai skills ive been able to knock people out in the first round for my first 2 fights. also if that guy really is 6 inches taller than you while standing youre not going to choke him out lol unless you can do a flying triangle or do what kanehara did to omigawa even though kanehara was unable to complete the choke. Also to do a flying triangle on someone 6 inches taller is fucking hard.
