What dangerous new people are thinking when they roll

[David Rosado]

I was drilling arm bar escapes with a guy who didn't know what 50% resistance meant. He yanked me into an arm bar and I heard a heinous cracking noise come from my elbow. I just missed needing Tommy Johns, It still hurts to throw a baseball, and that happened over a year ago.

same exact thing here. What's Tommy Johns? I still cant straighten my arm all the way.

EDIT: damn son, I just looked up Tommy Johns. How would I know if I need it or not?

Haha... that's insane.

Yeah, I learned the hard way by getting slammed by noobs and wrist jacked by a TKD black belt. Now, if I get babysitting duty I just slap double overhooks in guard, or crackhead control and drain them till they're retarded. As soon as they stack I wrangle the leg and crumble them up.

I used to think that grappling noobs was about taking it easy and refining my weaker techniques. Fuck that. That's how I got injured. Now, grappling with noobs is a process of defanging and grinding them down while working on control rather than just insta grabbing submissions. Since thin I've garnered much more respect and I've stayed uninjured.

If the noob has an ego I would grind the shit out of him and just keep getting him with embarrassing submissions like the sorcerer.

I learnt that by letting a noob with an ego problem get a ankle lock on me so he could practice... don't do this if yo like the ability to walk.
