There are certain behaviors and attitudes that will get you in trouble with your Jiu-Jitsu training partners.
Some examples:
1.Celebrating after you tap someone in training
I find both it both childish and disrespectful for a training partner to celebrate with a “Yes!!” or “Yeah baby, Whatsup???” after they’ve tapped someone in live sparring during BJJ training.
2. Getting pissed after being submitted and coming back 3 times more agressive
That is just as bad as the one before
3. The “let’s go light” fallacy
If you say “let’s go light” than let’s really go light
4. The guy asking you if you tapped the training partner you rolled with before.
Sparing is sparing and should not be considered like a proper fight. “Who tapped who” is for kids.
5. Pushing up on your opponent’s nose with your wrist/hand
To open open up his neck when he tucks his chin in protecting the choke. That’s comp legal but would you really want to do that in training?
