How do you guy handle Sparring Partners with a bad temper/frustration?
It was my first time sparring at my new gym, I'm quite novice nothing spectacular. Had a couple of light contact Sport Jiu Jitsu fights. So I'm not a killer on the feet.
I sparred this guy, I was told later he was presumably new and gets frustrated easily.
But here's my problem with that. So this guy doesn't really spar, he just plays patty cake as a lot of these guys told me.
But as I was doing my typical, light, fast technical sparring. He starts to get frustrated to my surprise and says I am going hard. He then proceeds to say "I'm going hard" and suckers me with a huge haymaker. I find this totally unacceptable in any situation. I tell him to chill down and I tell him I'm not going hard whatsoever, another member even had to interfere after he suckered me clean with a haymaker. A fucking haymaker for christ sakes.
I just need a bit of advice, should I not spar with this individual based of these things? I am going to go have a chat with him tomorrow to try and sort the things that happened in the ring. It's a new gym and I don't want to be the bad guy you know.
tl;dr; sparred with some newbie today who doesn't really understand the concept of light technical sparring, he gets frustrated and straight suckers me as we're sending words back and forth to eachother. I need advice, should I avoid him based off this considering it does not further my game and it was totally unacceptable what he did? Should I speak to my coach? Should I speak to him? I refuse to take free haymakers because of this guys temper, I need my braincells for comp.
