Training Partner Courtesy
Is it acceptable to decline training partners because you’ve had a bad experience with them? Yesterday I rolled with a guy I managed to smash the week before. I’m still really new so I’m not very good at maintaining top position and submitting. He’s a scrawny kid, probably 10kgs lighter and 10 years younger
This week he went 100% on me and even cranked a nasty leg lock (I assumed we were playing by white belt rules and I didn’t expect that). Obviously I yelled cos it was brutally quick and hard. Next round he managed to knee me in the temple so I said okay enough I’m not rolling I need to rest
I think I may reject him next time, or tell him to chill
I’m not 20 anymore and I’m doing this for personal growth and I’d rather go with like minded folks than those that want to prove themselves
