Enforce

When you have progressed to this level of grappling, you have gained responsibilities. That is to protect your gym.

By that I mean build up the noobs.

Unless someone needs to learn a lesson…

Smooth- Work your technique, to share knowledge.

• Make sweeps and transitions as smooth and slow as possible. Same with submission defences.

• If they are not defending a submission, finish it kindly. Start over, get to the same position, and teach them how to escape.

Smother- If someone needs to be enforced upon, do not submit them.

• Make their round as miserable and painful without threatening a choke or joint. We are teaching the lesson of being controlled.

• Ok, you may submit them, but make sure it is within 3 seconds of the final bell.

When a monster from another gym or spazzy whit belt D1 football player decides to play murder grapple with 45 year old cruiser dad, or the 120 lb female blue belt, it is time for you to step in.
