Most of my rolls are me slowly letting myself into deep water with our blue belts just to see how deep that water is. With purple and higher its all about maintaining good position!

I find my opponents strength and I allow him to work that while I work the defense.
Plus it's good to get used to dictating where the fight takes place.
Yeah for sure. I do it all of the time especially with people who aren't as experienced as I am or with youngsters. It can only improve your game while at the same time improving the game (and perhaps the confidence) of the person who you're rolling with.
But what do you guys do if the guy is brand-spanking new?
I try asking them what stuff they've been working on, and do situational sparring based on the answer.
One of my favorite drills/sparring sessions involves 10 minutes of mount and back escapes. We always do this after 50 minutes of rolling. The last 10 minutes are spent working from bad situations. You are more prone to make mistakes when you are tired. He starts on my back and we go 100% if he finishes me or I escape I take his back and we repeat. Then at the 5 minute mark we switch to mount escapes. No rest. It has helped tremendously. Enjoy :-)
Yes, Because everyone I roll with is better then me so I don't have much of a choice haha.And we do monkey in the middle,starting off in a bad position and if u tap,get to a neutral/andvanced position a fresh guy comes in and u start all over again.
There are so many guys at my school who are better than me that I don't have to start in a shitty position. I can get there all on my own, LOL.
All the time.
True that!Quote:
