He def. squished the shit out of me tho and I will be keeping my rolling to the gym,but i am still new to jj and must admit it was nice seeing what a small level of jiu jitsu can do against someone who has no backround whatsoever. So talk your smack, but i only made this thread to get some insight on what i could have done better once I was put on my back by someone bigger. My wrestling backround is zero
Don't stress it dude. Jiujitsu is different things to different people. Some people feel that it should be respected and stay in the gym where it is controlled, safe, responsible, and clean. Others think it's just a way to choke a dude out. I am a bit of column A and column B. Though I would never roll with a total stranger outside of the gym, cage, or competition... I don't personally view this as a sin against the MMA gods.
You can't please everybody all of the time and you shouldn't worry about it. Some people take offense at people who roll while high on weed, go figure. Different strokes for different folks.
