Ha, heās this absolutely massive (6-4 or 6-5, pushing 300), older guy who is a new white belt (Iām a not-so-new white belt) who just wouldnāt play nice in the sandbox. He wanted to do positional sparring, and specifically asked āletās dial the intensity down.ā Iām fine with that but he proceeded to ape out with as much strength as he could and then would say āhold on, my kneeā and stop to readjust the his knee braces.
There was another WTF moment during the drilling portion where the first time we went to practice a sweep, he didnāt go for it but instead reached out and yanked my posting arm like a madman while I was compliant and just waiting in position for him to try the sweep. I did tell him off for that shit; āwhat the hell man, we need to drill the move we are learning; we arenāt sparring. Iām trying to let you feel how to do it and Iām not going to be really compliant the first few times so trying to yank other shit isnāt cool.ā
He also hadnāt washed his rash guard. Asshole. He just wonāt get another roll from me.
