i'm trying to hold out a little longer and not tap prematurely but when risk of injury is high i have to , i been trying to hold strong when in chokes cause there is a chance a guy may get impatient and let go ,loosen or try to readjust creating a chance to counter the move
A couple of us in my school have a "beauty tap". That's when someone (generally with lighter belt colors) will get over-zealous, and try for something like an RNC; only they are really just mashing your lips into your teeth. If it were tournament (and certainly on the street) no problem! But I want to go to work the next day and meet new clients professionally without thpeaking to them through puth'd ub and burble libs. -Solution? "Beauty tap".
I've always been a quick tap when it comes to my ankles because I messed both of them up by playing on torn cartilage and sprains in football in high-school, so now there's so much scar tissue and floating cartilage there that if I did the necessary surgery, I would be out of work for upwards of 9 months, and I can't afford that. It's actually part of the reason I started bjj, because I can't play basketball or even touch football like I want to (going all-out). I've told guys in my class about it so they try to take it easy on my ankles, as well as take advantage of my lack of stand-up ability (little bastards).
But to answer the question, I've tapped guys via head in arm control maybe 3 times, once I got a tap via forearm-in-neck whilst in mount. That guy got shit from me for like a month.
I once tapped from head and arm control because I had killer sunburn. Actually the sun burn was so bad, that I have scars from the night I rolled.
I get people to tap from 100 kilos.
Iv never met Kevin Green, but after reading this, I will probably tap next time he posts.
I tap when the people I roll with (who like to try out things they learnt on the internet) go for leg locks, as in before they sink them. I know nothing about them and Im not rolling with experts, just very enthusiastic amateurs. One day I will go to Rochester and fix that, but for now I like my ligaments the way they are.
I'm 40 and way out of shape. I rolled with a 180lb 17 year old that put me in some crazy mess...that he probably really didn't know what to do. We were both gassed and he was on my back...literally sitting on my back...he grabbed my head like in a WWE back breaker and I tapped because I was getting dizzy.

talk about feeling like a kentucky fried bitch....
I have tapped to all ankle and leg locks, mainly because as a white doing this less than a month I have no game there. I don't know any locks or escapes...so if I'm rolling with a blue or a purple, at our school they are told no leg locks. One guy on his trial class who had been doing BJJ for for years almost was ready to hand me my own foot..the instructor dove in and said "no leg locks!" but I had already tapped...
someone tapped to me from side control because I passed guard and his shorts fell down. Don't ask me how the hell that happens...but I'm like...dude what happned..why'd you type? Dawg, my shorts were coming down...
Hell...much to the classes dissappointment I finished the last 30 seconds of my roll with plumber's butt...so I don't know...
I actually got in a position with another guy where neither of us could do anything. I was trying to go down the rubber guard path and he did something weird to get out and we ended up sitting facing each other with our legs tangled up in a totally neutral position. Neither of us could roll in any direction or escape or think of any submissions. Retarded. We just mutually agreed to give up. Is that a mutual tap?
the lamest one was the day before at 10th planet phoenix we were going over twister side hogtie to truck to twister so i got this guy worked perfect hogtie into the grapevine and the guy tapped ugh i really wanted to pull that off
I get taps from the lazy boy a lot. When I get there I like to take my free arm and bug the neck to force mistakes and sometimes people just get frustrated and quit.
I had a dude tap from my sweat. It was August in his defense, but c'mon. My bitchiest taps have come from cauli. If not it will look like a tomato by the end of the session.
dirty. quit directing your rolling partners to even more painful positions. lol
ok here's mine, I was working with a guy claiming to be "an mma fighter", and when we started, I said show me your basic transitions. I got in his guard and noticed a slight burning in my nose, kinda oniony if you know what I mean, but I continued. he began working his techniques and pulled armbars and sweeps and then he went for a triangle, and the smell made me throw up in my mouth, I tapped and asked wtf, and he claimed that he believed that it was unlucky to wash his fight shorts. we quickly finished as I directed him to the door and not to come back til his luck changed.
And on a comical note, I had a newbie argue armbars were escapable and so I asked him to show me as I'm always gauging my newbies, and as he tried to stack my armbar from guard, I squeezed and farted all in his face, opps, bad jiujitsu etiquette on my part, that dude tapped as though I farted agent orange or something, and thus why I take beanno on the mornings I teach grappling. beanno before and there will be no gas in class. lol
I remember i was rolling with my sensei and he had me in an armbar and i tapped and i thought to myself i showed him to much respect i could of got out of that since then i try to fight, wiggle, and move my way till theres no other choice but to tap.
not sure if its rare, but ive tapped some kids with a body triangle.
oh shit! Even better...it's the camel clutch!!!
