I agree. After grappling for a while you should be able to work out that at training the setups and positions need to be quick and aggressive but the actual finish of joint locks needs controlled application which a seasoned grappler should be able to do. If you think you'll hurt your partner heaving on a submission just let it go and transition to something else or keep position.Yeah in isolation maybe I’d say your training partners were soy boys.
But you have another thread about wanting to do scissor take downs which are legit super injury prone, and never showed any real concern or interest in how dangerous they are or the real likelihood of injuring others.
Maybe you have rolling dirty this whole time but when you were in bad shape no one noticed cause you couldn’t really execute.
I’ve seen a few arguments over Kimora’s specifically. One I had a training partner hurt my shoulder a few times. I believe him that he didn’t mean to but he kept doing it and I was getting pissed. He gave me zero time to tap and just cranked it hard because “I was so strong it’s the only way he could get it”. I was like “yeah but you should have proper control so you can apply the sub without a surprise crank and jacking up my shoulder”. Sure his Kimuras worked etc. but its not sustainable to tweak my shoulder once a week. He eventually chilled out and we have good rolls.
Point being you might be doing uncool things and not realize it
I realize a bunch of people have already pointed this out, but I have to agree. The fact that TS admitted to using kani basami on people at his gym, not knowing what the risks are, and didn't want to ask about it because he wanted to feign ignorance if anyone caught him, makes his training partners seem like the more reasonable ones.

i have grappled for fifteen years but never graded at all. it shit people to tears when they get chewed up by a white belt.Bruh, that ego at the door is bullshit and only applies to white belts. After that 99% of these mf'ers have huge egos and can only handle getting tapped by higher belts. Just keep training. Keep your own ego in check the best you can.
Youre a 15 year white belt?i have grappled for fifteen years but never graded at all. it shit people to tears when they get chewed up by a white belt.

You should not have to torque it at all. If you have good positioning you should be able to have the pressure come on gradually so they have time to tap.
That's hilarious. Would get panties in a big ol was.
I would not stop rolling with them.
Also realize, when you are matched more or less physically and skill wise, you're going to go back and forth a lot with guys. There are guys I train with, and the difference in who is tapping whom at the moment is predicated almost solely on who is training more.
I understand that it felt good to get your retribution, and you feel like your game is coming along. Great.
Don't gloat or be a dick about it. Just slap hands fist bump and keep rolling. Thank your partners after the round and tell them it was a good roll.
A guy I've been training with for 4 years caught me in an Ezekiel the other day. First time he's ever tapped me. I told him that it was a good tap and I think that's the first time he ever caught me, good job. But here's the deal he didn't make a big deal about it when it happened.
Your ego is not your amigo.
I’ll never get the massive egos especially from guys that are not even competing. So serious.
pretty well. never trained full time at a bjj club and most of the grappling i have done was no gi geared towards mma, but i have grappled nearly half my life. it's pretty funny when you go to a club as the new white belt.Youre a 15 year white belt?
You are one of those guys, huh. Come in with your whitebelt and the guys go easy on you and you just wreck them because they give you a good position. You know if you told them you trained for 15 years before you rolled, it would be a different feel. I never understand this mentality.pretty well. never trained full time at a bjj club and most of the grappling i have done was no gi geared towards mma, but i have grappled nearly half my life. it's pretty funny when you go to a club as the new white belt.
