I'm a loser (coming clean)

Roy Gaflaer · 05-20-2002, 02:25 PM

You guys are right I am a loser. I didn't get my blue belt from Royce and I've never even met him. I learned all my Jiu Jitsu from the Gracie tape sets, other tapes sets, the internet, and the rest I just made up as I went along. I've been passing myself off as a blue belt and certified instructor under Royce to my boys for awhile now. I feel terrible. I'm a fraud. If my boys ever found out I was a fake, I don't know what I'd do.
I am skilled though. I have natural ability and I'm a great teacher. I'm right, Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the best and I know it. Watching the UFC and Royce is all the proof I need. His movement is so beautiful and flowing. Simple yet graceful.

My name is Roy Gaflaer and I am not a troll. I am a real person with feelings. I have a passion for Gracie Jiu Jitsu that is beyond what most people feel. One day I will train with Royce. He will see the beauty in me and my technique. He will see my potenial. We will share a special bond, I know it. We will become training partners and best friends and I will be the next great warrior of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I believe this. It is my fate, my destiny. I was born with the name Roy, like Royce. There was a reason for this. Even before I knew what Gracie Jiu Jitsu was, I was a naturally gifted grappler. I was always able to wrap a man up like a boa constrictor and I had a sixth sense for attacking his weak points and knowing his body. It was always a talent of mine, a gift from god, like Rickson.

You may laugh at me and call me names, but one day when my destiny is realized you will fear me and respect me.

Man, to think some people get paid $150 an hour to listen to stuff like this.

Seriously, good for you for coming clean, Roy. Good luck, and go easy on the challenges. You never know who might call you on it.

It takes a man to realize his mistakes early on in their life,be real,don't bullshit and all will come together.Peace to all.

...I am going to assume this is for real and not a troll...

...Dude, get some help...it's good that you've finally owned up to the truth but the fact that so much of your self-esteem is coupled to a fantasy life can not be healthy. And you still are living in a bit of a fantasy life - you can not master GJJ through tapes and such...it can't be done...tapes, books, etc. are good for reference and aiding the memory but the only way to learn GJJ is through hands-on instruction. Unless you truly are gifted, you probably won't learn proper technique - and before you re-iterate that you ARE gifted, bear in mind that the gifted probably only make up less than 5% of the world's population...statistically, the odds are heavily weighted against you. If you truly want to learn GJJ, try and find a certified instructor near you and try to work out regularly with him. If that's not possible, try to make it to as many seminars as possible.

Peace out, Roy.

Come on people. Surely this proves he is taking the piss out of you! No-one is this sad!

Anyway, I just know that I will be a Rock Star..........

No, that is too much. Allow me to sum up:

The Deceptive or "Classic" Troll. More sophisticated but often easily identified and exposed, the Classic Troll gratifies his ego by pretending to be someone or something he or she is not. Classics make up elaborate stories about themselves, sometimes weaving some amounts of truth into their lies. As a web of lies is difficult to build with consistency, however, Classics are often "outed" by other forumites. When this happens, Classic Trolls have a bag of tricks to which they turn:

-- Classic Troll Tactic Number 1: If the heat gets too much for you, claim it was all "a joke." In this way you can excuse any and all deceit by claiming people just weren't smart enough to "get" the humor of it.

-- Classic Troll Tactic Number 4: When nothing else works, claim that now, finally, you're telling the truth about all the lies you told before. Make up a fresh set of lies, and throw yourself on the mercy of the forumites.

Textbook case.....

Good first step.
Now,who is close enough to Roy to be of some help to him?
Meet him,a lite roll to see where he is at and some real help with training.
Come on guys.Step up and be somebody special.
At least invite him to a class.
