I was skinny kid once, and I grew up as the smallest kid in school. So, as a consequence, I got picked on a lot. I became very shy and introverted and I didnt like talking to people, because I learned it was harder to be picked on if I gave them less ammunition. Plus, at home, I was the youngest of all the boys and they let me know about it all the time. They loved me, but they picked on me. Anyway, growing up, whether at home or at school, the bullies found me, so I totally understand how someone feels when they get picked on.
Thats why I love Bully Beatdown so much; the first episode I saw was a brother who was picking on his littler brother all the time. So the little brother did what any little brother would do, he called Jason Mayhem Miller, and got Bully Beatdown to offer 10 Gs to his brother (the bully) to fight a professional MMA fighter. And the bully, full of ego, as they are most times, accepted foolishly. In the end he only walked away with $2,000 dollars, because he was submitted 3x and knocked out in the 2nd round (for 5,000).
What can you learn from Bully Beatdown? Thats a great question, and heres what you can learn from Bully Beatdown. 1. A little training goes a long way, Michael Westbrook actually didnt do anything too technically advanced in either round, because he didnt have to. The bully was over matched, and Westbrook only pulled a sweet omaplata to a crufix (thats advanced) once. He was fairly nice to him the rest of the fight (well, not nice, but not as bad as he could of hurt him, he did TKO him viciously in the 2nd when he smelled a knockout though). So against your basic bully, you arent going to need much training, unless the size difference is great, and Royce Gracie proved in the first UFCs that if the bully doesnt understand your game and hes bigger than you, and you can drag him to the ground, then he is going down. So get a ground game ad get your hands up to par (at least learn something).
The other thing to note is that intimidation is a major part of winning a fight; you barely have to throw a punch if you have the edge in intimidation. Thats how it works for the bullies, half the time, if you wore your gyms affiliation shirt, youd probably intimidate the bully into not attacking. Youd able to avoid the fight by getting into their head before they considered the possibilities of winning. Even the fact that they could lose would be a deterrent, because bullies love easy marks and you, at this point would not seem such an obvious mark.
So to summarize, learn some mixed martial arts and do what you can to not look like youre an easy target. The harder and more of a fight you look like you can muster, the less likely they are to attack you. Watch Bully Beatdown and get some idea from the pros about how to go about doing things. And I promise you, youll have higher self confidence in on time, when dealing with a bully.
