weird. most injuries I see are during half guard entanglements, takedowns, and chronic back issues from improper technique. Or in other words, people thinking they know what they're doing when they really don't.

Just so this is clear, you've been actually rolling for 2-3 years and not just watching youtube/mts clips right?

Could you elaborate on your "Catch and Release" theory?

Also curious where are you watching people spar/roll where they get injured in daily practice?

Because with my 27 years of experience, I've found that rolling should be done as close to live competition as possible, it’s the ONLY way to prepare you for the level of pressure and resistance necessary for competing and fighting. As long as you're supervised by an experienced coach who rolls with his students and watches them closely injuries are minimal. It’s those that lack experience and proper supervision that tend to get injured.

"Catch and Release" theory? - catch them in a hold til they cant defend and admit defeat without causing harm. but it also is good getting use to knowing where your limb limit is, but this is an "open friendly mat event" so there is no need going 100%.

you guys know reflective has alternate meanings right?
how would shiny objects make sense in that sentence?

Clearly your definition of Catch and Release is different from mine. What you described is what we refer to as: Rolling to the tap(when someone concedes, “admits defeat”).

My understanding is that "Catch and Release" refers to rolling in which one partner is attacking a submission, and rather than finishing the submission (either due to poor technique or injury prevention on your partner's behalf) you would flow and move on to another transition or submission, all done without a tap or acknowledgement of the submission as "catch and release' is usually played ego free.
