And folks looks at that situation as “part of the game”, but a kid, who literally is being taught nonstop in life, can’t be corrected after making bad decisions because of “liability” is odd to me. BJJ may be the only structure that kid has in life.

Yeah, and it sucks for that kid because his parents probably are physically abusing him or worse.

But we’re a business, not a therapist office, and a kid who won’t let go of a tap when the instructor and student tell him to stop needs therapy, not martial arts.

Last year during BJJ, I got paired with a slightly crazy (she really liked me choking her) tiny Latina named Rose. While practicing some basic techniques, she kicked me very deliberately in the head. I stopped the action and communicated her error. Later she deliberately punched me in the face, so I demonstrated our size and strength difference by picking her up and locking in a rear naked choke. I spoke with the instructors and they approved of me policing my partner.

Your kid should have beat the ever living shit out of the choker. Like, grab his testicles and twist them until his family tree goes bonsai , then elbow him in the face until he’s lumpy and stupid.

Sounds like foreplay for the crazy Latina.  Your response to dominate was likely desired.  You did say she likes choking.  It’s her kink.

I believe we have a member who’s studded recently in Japan.

I’ve seen it with adults here in the states. It’s not common but unfortunately there are those out there doing that.

See how the Sensei decides to handle it. If he doesn’t meet your expectations, have a respectful meeting to understand his insight into it.

If that doesn’t meet your expectations, then the option is try another days / times or school.

What happens when this kid won't release a RNC and the instructor is tied up with another student and not paying attention?

How much does a tort lawsuit by the parents of a brain dead kid generally run?

These are questions I would be asking the owner of the gym.  I bet if you start asking these kinds of questions, the problem will resolve itself, at least for the gym and your kids.

Has anyone told Aimless to go back to NY yet?

Tell your kid next time he sees it coming to punch the kid in the nose and make him bleed. If he can’t see it coming then he needs to get choked about one more time.

My other kid said the choker had been told he had "two strikes" before that but didn't know what happened. Choker has also jokingly thrown punches, but pulled short, at my other kid, I guess joking around.

We've had good luck in Utah. The kids are nice and the classes are fun. My kids have been thrown around by some pretty big kids but they just laugh. The place in NY seemed like it had more mean kids, I don't, maybe my kids were just younger.

I never took classes until I was 14 and never saw anyone have to be stopped choking someone. Maybe this shit happens in little kid classes but I haven't seen it before. I'm thinking about telling them my kids aren't wrestling with this kid anymore. I don't need my little kids getting choked unconscious. :/

My kids are in a ton of activities. I really think the time would be better spent on tennis lol. Oh my kids like karate better and want to keep going.

You get to learn if the teacher and the class are worthwhile.

People like that at any age will be politely invited to dress out and leave and NEVER come back.

Their pictures and names are probably shared around amongst the other MA classes.

MA classes are not for hurting the students. People who are there who will not listen to that do not belong in any ma class and need to be booted the instant they show that they won't listen.

If the teacher sees it, has warned the kid, knows the other kid has been doing it, and will not stop it immediately, pull your kid and find another place.

I'm having to do a bit of a orifice pull with this, but I believe this is a valid comparison:

This is no different than being in a live ammo force on force exercise and the instructor lets a student flag people with their muzzle repeatedly.

Yes, it's a force on force, yes, things can and do happen, yes, you're there training to shoot somebody in real bloody earnest ... BUT ... flagging the other students is verboten for a very good reason.

Out of control jerks like that are dangerous. Especially in classes involving joint manipulation, where a quarter inch more of movement can result in a busted or burst joint, and you can't see when that's coming and you can't react fast enough to stop it even if you could see it coming.

When I did Judo back in the 80s, a kid pulling that garbage would be bounced pretty fast.  They didn't have any tolerance for it.  They allowed chokes at 13, and joint locks at 16, doing the same later with a joint lock could result in pretty significant damage.

This.
If the kid already has a couple instances of not following instructions the choice should be easy.



It happens as adults also.
We had a guy in class that always would throw a punch or kick at a break or end of sparring round.
He did it as usual and he got driven into the wall and his head and torso making a nice broken outline in the class drywall.

It was the last time he did it.

Choker just needs a swift kick in the sack when he least expects it, along with a few more to the ribs while he’s on the ground.

Best way to fix a bully is to let them know they’re not invincible.

This is why, traditionally, martial arts were not taught to children. But Karate has evolved from a fighting art for adults into a tournament sport for children. Almost all dojos in America are just businesses selling belts to children.

This is also why I am very opposed to teaching vascular knock-outs to lower ranks and especially to children. When there's no coach or referee to knock things off, they can get out of hand, even if they're applied correctly.

Remember former Marine Daniel Penny killing the bum on the subway not too long ago? He knew how to apply a vascular hold, but he didn't really understand it, and he held it for six minutes.

But until they're bigger, I would just have the instructor make sure they are not paired together again / or privately request the bully be barred from class.  

But "karate schools" are a dime a dozen.  You can go elsewhere as a last resort.

BJJ schools generally don't tolerate that shit at the kid level.  At all.  

Id see if the Bully is allowed back in before taking the next step - but pulling them from martial arts just means they'll be bullied by someone else later.

This.

Insee this as an opportunity to speak with your son about why we train. Don't let him get discouraged, he needs to recognize that there is always someone stronger, faster, more skilled than you and that's why you train.

I also would have a discussion with the head instructor (Shihan) and let it be known that you don't want your son rolling with the other kid.

The whole liability thing is a poor argument considering there is precedent that you can really get sued no matter what if an injury happens regardless of intent.

Competent instructors can address this, overweight guys in GD that can’t fight, cannot.

My son got injured because despite being explained to him a million times he didn't tap out when he should have.

He's fine now and the lesson was learned. I  your son's case, The lesson is that some people are going to be a-holes even in controlled environments.

This.

1) Instructor should have one hell of a lot more control in the class and be RIGHT ON the action when kids are sparring.

2) I suspect shit head is still there because they want the money.

3) Kidsampson is right. There is no three strike bull shit. Intentionally holding a submission or injuring another student is time to be shown the door unless there are some pretty big extenuating circumstances.

I've done it a couple times.(eta, thrown a student out, not tried to hurt one. )It happens. It isnt tolerated. Bad behavior in general isnt tolerated. It is a privilege to be there. A duty to help each other learn.

Any place that doesn't constantly and consistently foster that atmosphere isnt worth being at.
