  Fair point, but it's because when you've seen it firsthand it almost looks fake, except that you know exactly why it happens. It's a lesson that many of us learn and then take into other aspects of life, because it's really humbling.

  It was Judo and I was a scrawny teenager, but a black belt used to hold me to the floor by doing head stands on me so... you hear those stories a lot because they're true.

  As that cocky beginner who went in to Jiujitsu and ran out of breath after 30 seconds in a 6 minute roll and had to tap out 15 times in the next 5 and a half minutes against a smaller opponent, it is repeated because it is true. A huge part of beginner training is basically slow down and getting yourself into positions where you can perform the moves.
