alright, so im sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but I'll make it a thousand and one
today in class during open mat I started working with a kid who said it was his first time in a gi but had done a fair amount of no gi
so i figured he wouldnt be the typical first timer, but he was actually worse...the first thing he did was go balls out and try and bull rush me, while running into all the people around us
i get him in side control and he is flopping like a carp outta water, so i let him gas out a bit and start working some positions fairly slowly.
I get an americana on him and i'm not trying to sink it in at all, letting him work some defense, but then he gets his arm in a dangerous position, basically sinking it in for me, and the kid's not tapping
so i just let go and sit up and tell him he needs to tap out when he is in a position like that cause he could get really hurt, and his response was "it wasn't even hurting"
My question is this: Did i handle this situation correctly and what should I do if I end up in similar circumstances again?? I don't want to hurt the kid, but he needs to learn that tapping isnt the worst thing in the world
transition out of that, take his back and choke him. Then if he doesnt tap, it is just time for a little nap...no trip to the Dr.
^ agreed he won't get hurt but he will learn a first timers lesson. You can't have pride in BJJ, you won't last long.
tell them once they need to tap, after that do what you need to do for them to tap, if you break their arm its their own fault
Crank that shit as hard as a you can. While he's healing up from the spiral fracture, he'll have lots of time to consider his actions.
kesa gatame. Order a pizza. Have him let you know when he;s done spazzing. Let him up.
You did the right thing.
People should get a couple of warnings.
On the 3rd time, when he refuses to tap slowly increase pressure. He will eventually tap or break something - and he can't say he didn't get numerous warnings or didn't have time.
If he says it didn't hurt, you should make it hurt.
Heelhook imo

This is the answer. Or just do it really quick so that it is a sharp pain. I roll really hard a lot and higher belts put me in my place by doing that with wrist locks.
Just make him learn.
Thing that pisses me off the most is when a blue belt, "know it all" trys to tell upper belts how to do a technique you are drilling with them, saying you are doing it wrong, like they are helping you out or something. I want to say my damn Gi Pants got more mat time than you son. When it's time to roll you dominate the
hell out of them and end up using the move you were doing just to show them you were doing it right. Back when I first started doing bjj, lower belts would never do this.
