tap or snap.

i tell the kids to tap on locked or locking. if it hurts, it's too late. we got into this last week, but i hate the wait-and-see mentality.

am i about to break your arm? sweet, fucking tap out then.

at my pan ams, during my match, all of a sudden you hear a little girl start crying, at the mat to the right of me some little girl got her arm broken. it was really sad, she started crying, andwe were right next to it. we all stopped, till the carried her out, but man we all felt bad for her.

I would say in 2 months of training you probably haven't developed a good feel for what your limits are yet. I would tap as soon as it feels locked in.

Do NOT wait for two pops.

If I don't think I'm getting out of something I'm tapping I mean obvoiusly I will try for an escape, but if those fail I don't see the purpose of letting the guy choke me out or break my arm.

This thread makes me think of the Jiu Jitsu game in general. Now we can all ask ourselves what did we do that allowed someone to catch the arms? What can I do to stop it? How can I still remember to defend my legs-neck at the same time ..... tunnel vision be gone.

I'm realizing that I didn't explain this all that clearly in my first post. Yes, I absolutely tap when I don't think I am getting out of something. But for me there is a mental progression that goes something like:

I can escape!
I can probably still escape.
Maybe I can escape
Maybe I'll get lucky
I'm screwed
Ouch!

In training, I tap as soon as I get to "I'm screwed." Given the higher intensity in competition, I am wondering if I should tap when I get to "Maybe I'll get lucky"

Thoughts?

OK, I will grant that is worse than the usual typo. Edited.

I tap right away. Instantly. I'm an amateur, and I don't give a damn about the last 2% of resistance. If you have an arm extended, you've already totally fucked up. Why pretend you haven't? Maybe if there are seconds to go in the Pan Ams or Mundials championship round would I fight it.

The tap is just a formality. The BJJ leading to that point is what matters, and whether you tap or not, you got pwned.

Never tapped in comp, a ref stopped one of my matches thou and I was really mad,

I am an adult it is my choice

sure it hurt but it wasn't on correct, the pain was in my lower arm not my joint, it wouldn't break, and he vwould have tired

subs are the only thing I am fast with
get the hold/grip quickly move past the

I can escape!
I can probably still escape.
Maybe I can escape
Maybe I'll get lucky
