well my coach is basically the head coach and is a black belt in bjj, has also been training striking (boxing, muay thai, karate) for three decades of his life. I've been training BJJ for several years and dutch style kickboxing for about five years.
I'm better than most of the fighters at my gym (talking about the amateurs, we have 4 pros and I can only hang with 1 of them on the ground and 1 of them on the feet, other 2 just smash me everywhere)
anyway, I smash other guys and it gets to me. It's pretty bad. Because I think I can take the instructor and sometimes he wants to spar me infront of everyone lmaoooo. I think I can take him until I stand infront of him.
With everyone else I have super smooth movement and punches, sometimes slipping and weaving under 4-5 punch combinations.
But with coach it's like I freeze up when he comes at me. I can't slip anything, I can't counter right, my timing and distance control is off... Just pretty bad overall.
I did ALMOST get him in an armbar one time where he thought he could just give me his back and chill without me actually doing anything.
It's whatever though, he SHOULD smash you. if he DOESNT smash you at ANY POINT during your training, you're not actually learning shit that's good enough and need to switch schools.
