Next Lesson: Ground n Pound

Intending to open my teaching up to more people next semester.  Hopefully have a decent stable of sparring partners.

Personal Note:
Was at the Cove (on campus eatery) hainging out with some friends.  Was wearing a tanktop.  Some guys that're there often stopped me on my way to get a drink.

Guy1: Hey man, I see you all the time.  Are you some sorta bodybuilder?
Me: Me, no I...(thinking 'I hate bodybuilding')...I fight, so I make myself as strong as I can.
Guy 1: *Eyes wide* You fight?  Like...?
Me: Yeah, I box, do Muay Thai...whatever.
Guy 2: Do you Ultimate Fight?
Me: I...I've done a little at a club in Hillsboro, but not in any sorta league or anything.
Guy 3: So what, do you do push-ups and stuff?
Me:  Well yeah, I do push-ups, and I lift weights and stuff.  I powerlift.
Guy 2: So how much do you bench?
Me: 300lbs
*Eyes widen*
Guy 1: How many push-ups can you do?
Me: All time high was 400.
Guy 3: 400 in a day?
Me: Yeah, well, in one set
*Eyes widen*
All: In one set?

It went on from there...  It was funny at first, but I started to feel pretty awkward after a while.
