    when I roll with someone new, I usually start slow and defensive, hoping they will bring their A game so I can maybe learn something new from them by watching their A game.

    I used to be all for the idea that rolls in practice didn't matter. Until I realized that come tournament time I want to be the monster. And you must practice what you want to perform otherwise at some level you're fooling yourself. So there's nothing but love before and after the roll, but regardless if you're my main training partner or we just met, you're gonna see the same level of intensity.

    If your anything like the rest of us the fact that you got submitted by a lower belt in training means nothing. It happens to EVERYONE if you have been in this sport long enough. Concentrate more on how to prevent it from happening again or how to escape the submission vs. getting revenge

    Flow with the go...its training...tap early and tap often and learn from the experience.

    You got tapped by a white belt. Guess what - nobody cares! You shouldn't either. The only important thing is that you tapped and didn't get injured.

    It's going to happen, especially if you're trying new things. It's a little lame that he wouldn't roll after that, but life goes on. Chances are that you'll roll with him again sometime and you'll know what to expect.

    Always bring your A game. The only time I flow with someone new is if there's a huge disparity in size/skill.

    Flowing in my opinion is for your main training partners 2 times a week tops. Other than that, you should be busting your ass to tap them and them also trying to tap you as well. Taking it easy on your partners all the time only hurts you and them, because come competition time your body and mind are not ready for what you're about to embark on.
