Haha.
I agree with Joe: just ignore him.
I once went to a dojo where there was a beginner, who I saw grade for his 5th kyu, who actually repeatedly told me my ukemi was wrong when I trained with him (both before and after that grading); he also liked to flounce about before classes, 'throwing' his good friend (another beginner) with an air of effortless excellence.
Unbearable.
So I just ignored him whenever we had to pair up to train - pretended not to see him; looked around him; looked the other way for a partner, etc.
That's one advantage I think BJJ has: you have to back up your claims - none of this 'You're not doing it right.' shit; there's no pretence.
