Am I a sandbagger???

[sean applegate]

yea, they shouldnt have tripped...sounds like ego problems to me. i mean ive been training on and off for 5 years and have never had that problem. i tend to approach it how brandon does though. i like to go to a new school and get new looks and ideas. i like to try to take the match to each position and see how they react and see what moves they choose to make. no one rolls the same. occasionally i do like to test myself and will ask the person im rolling with if they will go a lil harder and they usually dont mind. i do think you should tell them your experience level tho. it just makes it alot more friendly. imho.

I dont think there is an official term for downplaying your skill level as a walk-in. At least you told them something about your history. Some guys will say they have no comba type training experience until you grapple them and ask if they wrestled and they'll say they did for the past 6 years or something. or say they know nothing when they have trained mma at multiple schools for a couple years. Some guys get a kick out of doing it at every gym they go to

Never heard of sandbagging a class. Doesn't make sense that they would get all butt hurt

Exactly.
Nothing was at stake aside from pride, clearly theirs was damaged.

Sounds like their problem.

I agree with the target on your back if you have a higher belt. Happens to me all the time. Took me a while to figure out fuck it. Have fun and figure what to do next time.
