    You aren't a professional fighter - not even a competent amateur

    The world is a big place.

    If your ambition as a fighter is to only compete against other kids from your home town, then you might as well not bother.
    Train to fight against GSP, not Dave from 2nd grade.

    Of course, the only reason you want to fight against these people is to exact some form of revenge for being bullied at school.

    If I had a black belt i'd set up my own club with a closed door policy.

    More fighters who don't train together:

    Bas Rutten and the Shamrocks
    Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir
    Alexander Gustafsson and Jon Jones
    Conor McGregor and Khabib

    I don't understand why this town has more than 10 clubs when the population isn't even 70,000. They even travel to other clubs out of town

    You're missing the point.

    I don't have the time, inclination, nor crayons to try and explain it further.

    Actually almost every single gym has fighters that train together - they just don;t if they live in completely different countries

    I don;t understand why some strop jockey who has alienated all teh clubs in town seems to think it's somehow their fault and not his.....but here we are anyway

    You're getting confused; I want to fight people who have beat me in kickboxing (4-5 people) and judo (1 person). I don't want to train with certain people who I don't intend to fight because of who they're friends with. Of course if I had somewhere to train and actually won i'd challenge school bullies to a legal MMA fight with me but my motive at the moment is revenge against kickboxing and judo losses

    Well I don't have anywhere to train to get said belt. Nor do I intend to keep living in my dump of a town

    Good idea - go and be a dumb fish in a bigger pond, THAT will sort out your problems!

    But you'll have the same issue whenever you go?

    To seek revenge is to persue restitution for an injustice done against you.

    Being beaten by another competitor in a competition isn't an injustice against you - it's simply reflective of the effort you put.
    You lost, because you weren't good enough to win.
    Why weren't you good enough to win?
    Because your too busy pointing fingers at everyone else, rather than getting on and training.

    I train at one of the best BJJ clubs in the country. I still go to other places to roll and spar sometimes. I've fought friends and I've fought strangers. I've competed against guys at my own club (in grappling only) and some idiots who were disrespectful.

    If you are looking for faults and excuses you are going to find them. Best thing to do is suck it up, keep quiet, train hard, act humble, win fights.
