Things people do in training

Girls in shorts with chubby thighs and super faint leg stubble.

Modern jiu jitsu is different, man. I can handle it, but like, barely.

How about the guy who takes twenty minutes to wrap everything in tape? We’ve had guys who must spend a small fortune in athletic tape to wrap every knuckle, their toes, their feet, their wrists, etc etc.

Taping just encourages you to abuse your fingers and grip.

Partners who talk constantly during drilling or during rolls.

Not pumped about rolling with guys who wear cups.

When I was a white belt there was a purple that, every fucking time he’d tap me out he’d say “all day long.” That fucker moved before I got good enough to take my revenge.

I hate it when dudes ask, “Bro… is that an erection…???” Just mind your own f-ing business.

I figure if they don’t like getting poked in the ear they should learn not to let me get to north/south so much.

Like OP said, all the dumb motherfuckers trying to copy jon jones with that shit on a M W F weekend warrior class

There’s always the guy who wants to grab your shorts in no gi.

No, sir. Stop it. Stop it right now.

There are a long list of things people do that bother me. Like …

  • asking you to promote them
  • avoiding bigger training partners
  • showboating vs. smaller training partners
  • tapping to knee on belly, mount, or side control
  • talking about who they submitted in class in training
  • spazzing out and fighting like their life is on the line

I agree with these . I enjoy flow rolling more and I feel I get more out of it . I hate when people spaz out , when they do that they tend to get cross faced a little harder than usual lol…
Side note: will you promote me to black belt
please lol

Yeah, man. I’ve been a two stripe purple belt for like four years. Maybe throw a brother a stripe…? I don’t even expect a new belt…

Although my washing machine (or maybe my dryer) keeps demoting me so maybe they know something I don’t…

I get my brown in November . I’m pretty sure I can throw you a stripe then bro lol

I’ve been doing bjj for about 12 years now . I was a white belt for 3 years , blue for 6 and been a purple for like 3 years now . The reason for not getting promoted was because most of those years I was fighting and did mainly no-gi.

I’ve been at it for 13 years!!!

Ha.

My reasons are much the same as yours. Plus I don’t like to test.

I mostly like to just be at the gym and train with my buddies so the belt has never really mattered to me. I think I’m starting to get the itch to earn my promotions now.

Some schools don’t have standardized testing.

I was a 6 year white belt, 4 year blue, 10 year purple(!), 4 year brown before getting my black belt.

And I hate people that grab just a little bit of skin along with the gi!!
