Today during my Judo showcase.
- Was to show people how I progressed and get more people interested in the art.

I was sparing with a few people and on my 2nd last match I got decimated, took my eyes off my opponent to look at my training partner and they noticed got the better of me.
Anyway that is not the point.

My Last and final opponent was a Brown belt (I'm a 6th kyu -Green belt) decided they were too good to spar with me because of the last match. They verbally shattered my image, regarded me as a someone in a phase then after a lot of arguing decided to spare with me due to the coaches pressuring him.
So we are about to start. I bow, He doesn't. He just stands bolt right looking at me, the match starts and he cross hooked me and smashed his knee into my nose (Only Dans are allowed to Strike).

Talk about bad sportsmanship.

Bite him in the bollocks.

Matter settled.

Where do you do it?
I'll come with 'You're the best around' playing on a boombox.
Also, train a gakton and spar with him again, destroying him so badly you vaporize every bone in his body.

Judge not lest an eye for an eye gets hoist by his own pet toad or some such nonsense.

Find a way to sneak some weird porn about his person, preferably involving gender bending. his masculinity is shattered and he is still known for being a bad sportsman.

Whilst he is reeling from this non physical assault, have another bout where you beat him down good.

Go to a store that sells "fantasy minatures."
Get a box set from something called Warhammer 40,000.
Take out the whippy sticks inside the box.

Then you'll know what to do.

Yup! Stick that whippy stick up his nose....THEM HOOF HIM IN THE NADS!

Sounds like your Brown Belt really has learned some of that discipline and maturity they are always using as selling points for martial arts.

Mercy is for the weak! We do not train to be merciful here!

My vote (seeing as I used to do karate) Is that you take a bo staff, and when he's looking away, shove it where the sun don't shine. When he's distracted, pull the mat out form under him so he lands... very painfully.

If that don't work, just knee him in the nads. When he complains to the instructor: Say, "Oops, I didn't mean to hit you!" And curb stomp his head when he leaves the studio. Violent, yet effective.

MY favorite option: Call in the 40k hit squad! All the geeks form around the world will dogpile him as you sit and laugh.

You should learn the crane stance or balance a tack hammer on your head.

Ah.

So this is the Cobra Kai dojo then?

Your coach should have chewed his ass.

There's acceptable behavior in a sparring match, and that ain't it.

I say bite his ear off, that will show them whose not a b****.

Phew, that guy sounds like a total gakhead. Not sure what to do about it apart from training on and ignoring him if possible. He's not worth much attention to his person.

However, I was amazed that in Judo you're allowed to strike your opponent after a certain grade? The Judo guys in my Dojo always trained before/next to us and I never saw someone striking somebody else in sparring. Is this also full-contact then?

The coach should have kicked his ass. I'm all for non-violent solutions, but years of experience in wrestling has taught me that, in combat sports, the best way to ensure good behavior is embarrassment via beat down.

That's how we used to run my high school's wrestling camp anyway. Kid gets out of line, he wrestles the coach nearest to his weight class.

Play more street fighter maybe, take a page from this dudes book.

The coach suspended him from his next marking but I felt that was unfair.

I plan to just avoid him...although if I accidentally throw my sparing partner onto him I would be too sad.

I'm not an expert on martial arts, but if you're coach/trainer/sensei allows that sort of stuff, you might want to find a new dojo.

But what would happen if said person beat the coach I wonder?

Would the illusion shatter?

Chaos would ensue.

Thankfully, coaches tend to be good at the sport they are teaching.

Also, this sort of thing creates situations in which one can justifiably go to town on a pre-teen. Nothing more fun than making the bully look like an idiot in front of his peers.

Sounds like outright assault to me. What did the instructors do? I don't think I'd want to train somewhere where they felt it was OK for someone to make full-contact strikes in what is supposed to be a limited-contact sparring match.

Should have bust his nose outside, martial arts don't count fo shizzle on da streetz boi... but seriously, Should have messed his face up, just to teach him all actions have consequence.

But I suppose being "the bigger man" and letting it go works too ... boring though.

...so he could head off his foe with a balanced attack? But what are the watermelons on his feet for?

I don't remember telling him to do that.

lol. My favorite line will always be from the great Paul Reubens.

"Everybody, let's triangulate!"

"Equilateral or isosceles?"

You could just ignore him, but if I learned anything it's that this'll just be the start of your troubles. Soon you'll meet a pretty girl, only to find out she's seeing the bad guy. Despite him treating her badly, she'll stay with him. The bad guy will see you as a threat and begin persecuting you.

At this point, your only option will be to find an eccentric but wise ethnic mentor. He will teach you some valuable life lessons before taking you on a musical training montage.

I hope you learned your lesson. A higher grade is not obliged to train with you, nor treat you as an equal. Society is a different place to the dojo.

Spar with your own grade and don't be so cocky.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or just a jackass but you must have missed where the instructors had set the whole thing up. The Brown Belt would have had to ignore the his superiors to ignore the sparring match.

Even if the other guy was at a higher level in his training, I've got no idea why it'd justify refusing to bow and then ending the fight with a strike not allowed in that level of competition. Sounds like the OP's opponent was riding high on a load of macho BS.

Respect doesn't mean treating everyone as equals. It means treating people respectfully.

Traditional judo and so on is big on the bowing thing. The best judoist in the world is supposed to exchange bows with the worst.
