Hmm, not sure that I've ever done that in a grappling match, but I've done it in all my MMA fights. Not trash talk, but funny stuff.

if im rolling with someone i know well i joke with them all the time, might give beginners advice as we are rolling too.
At my last comp i had a conversation with my coach whilst in a match.
My favorite is Matt Horwich. He is ceaselessly mumbling during rolls, and it is something between self-pep-talk and narration. "Ok, ok, gotta pass, gotta pass, watch the underhook, don't let him underhook... SHIT! He got the underhook! Ok, hustle, hustle, hustle..."
It amuses the hell out of me, but some people are really annoyed and claim it throws off their game.
thats awesome, im going to start doing that as well. sounds amazingQuote:

I'm not good enough to be talking during a roll. People usually think then speak, or in my case, I speak then I think.
There's no way I'm 3 steps ahead of the guy when I'm telling him how nice that far-side attempt was..
I may whisper a sweet nothing into an ear every now and again.
or hum the ghostbusters theme while a student is setting up a ghost escape. ;)Quote:

Or sometimes, simply, "shhhh, shhhh, shhhh. Now, now. Shhhh, shhhh." As if he were rocking a fussy baby to sleep. Completely demoralizing. I have, naturally, adopted this practice.
