what annoys you most when rolling

I agree with that. I hate guys who just spaz out in with random movements like that. I especially hate it when it's jerky. Usually that's earns someone a ticket to me taking side control with some crossfaces when they try to shrimp in, to knee ride, to knee on face. I'll just ride around on top of them for a while and eventually finish with some kind of choke. I'm kind of a jerk, but I only do that to guys who are cocky or have been around for a while and still haven't learned to be smooth.

The fact that I suck so hard.

Here are my general peevs about training in general, not just rolling.

Hygeine and hair are a given for everyone I think LOL! What I really hate are:

The "its only fun when Im winning" guys- You know those guys who are balls out and all over you as long as they are winning but once you get them in a dominant position they gas...or pretend to gas and basically just quit. I was doing shark tank drills (grappling only). I had fresh guys switching in on me every few minutes and we save our noobs for last. One of our noob MW's comes in and I start in guard. Hes all over me, Im tired, but as soon as I swept him he basically quit and it was his first round but my 5th or 6th. CANT STAND THOSE GUYS!!!

Straight up WANNABES- Guys who want all your attention and knowledge but when you need to get ready for a fight they dont want anything to do with you. Noobs who stick around know that at some point we will need some extra bodies just to jump in and lay on us or throw punches at us when we are tired but we have some guys who lack the heart to even do that. They want to be "fighters" yet they dont want to spar or do anything that requires getting ready for a real fight. They watch TUF yet they fail to realize that the sparring stuff that is on TV actually happens in a fight gym...imagine that.

LOL sorry for the rant.

Tat - We got a purple belt at my gym that every time I sweep him or catch him in a submission he gets "injured" and doesn't wanna roll anymore. The funny thing is every time I roll with him I get kneed or elbowed in the face and he doesn't seem to have any problem with that.

And just to add to the wannabe I really hate when a guy comes in and after a week he starts talking about how hard he trains and how this is his life, when he's actually had about 3 hours of mat time. But usually those guys end up quitting after a month so it works out for me.

Another pet peeve of mine is guys who leave their gis bundled up in the car and come in and try and roll smelling like cat piss, and then get all uppity when we tell them they can't train until they clean their gi.

I get frustrated with guys who won’t relax when throwing. Doesn't matter uki or tori...they get all tight an jerky and then somebody takes a crazy fall.

I agree with:

- Bad Hygiene
- Peeps who fart up on ya
- Peeps who wear loose T-shirts that are now soaked and that now wet t-shirt gets up into your mouth, eyes, and nose somehow
- Guys who lock you up and don't move at all ... plus ... press their mouth on your neck area. This sucks ... rofl ...

I hate being gassed and getting swept by guys better than me, cause then i feel like I have to escape before I give up so I don't feel like a douche.

1--The percentage inflate(r)!!! GGRRRR!! I hate that guy!!!!!! You all know him! He says "What like...50, 60% or so? Nothing crazy?" You say: "Yeah, we're just rolling. No trophies or money right..ha ha ha.." As SOON as you start he goes absolutely insane! Trying to lock out joins with maximum effort, NEECCCK CRANKING like he's out collecting human skull specimens, accidental elbows, nose-exploding cross facing.....life or death, baby! If that motherf%@@#@ can grapple like that at 50% he is the TOUGHEST dude on Earth. It's weird, too, because for all that skill he usually doesn't do terribly well.

2--stinky f%$#*s. I mean...there were guys in Milwaukee who wouldn't even wear deodorant. Oh well, I just straight up told them "You reek, I'm not rolling with you."

I am a big guy and I try not to just out strength people, but I always find it funny if you are doing light sparring and I am barely hitting the person yet smaller guys feel like they have to hit me as hard as they can because I am big. No avoiding that I guess.

I know that guy, the one who refuses to tap even while demonstrating technique.

Had this guy come in to train with us after his MC-DOJO shut down. I was demonstrating some basic stuff for a few intermediate noobs, the armbar from guard being one of them, and I actually had to put the guy's arm under my armpit to get the tap. He had that- "this doesnt work on me" attitude that is realatively common among MC-DOJO ninjas. My teammates, understanding that I was being nice, grew impatient. What he didnt understand was that I was being nice with all of the holds.

Anyway after all of the demonstrations were finished, I almost took his arm home with me during live rolling...he has yet to return (my plan worked). Needless to say, the armpit trap was not required to get the tap from the armbar.

Poopsauce: why would it annoy you if people do leg locks? They are usually legal in competitions as long as your in an adult division above beginner. And even if they were illegal in some tournies, what's the difference?

Bulleteater: AGREED! I cant stand those guys!

Tat: LOL! I have dealt with one of them before. I think he told me one of the escapes I taught would never work. So I went straight to a positional type of drill (which I was going to do anyway) where you stay in one position and try in maintain control and the bottom person has to escape, if he escapes you just reset and go back. Needless to say, when he was on top, everyone hit that escape on him a million times.

I also cant stand the guys who come in and have had maybe 1 or 2 classes and try to tell you what your doing wrong. I even had one guy who had 0 experience in any type of submission wrestling, but decided to take time after class to show me his "tricks." His tricks were just a few basic chokes that he couldnt even do right.........

Only happened once, but a dad brought his son to BJJ class, and proceded to challenge BJJ as a legit combat sport, "guard is stupid" "he could actually fight and none of these guys could do anything to him" etc. I offered him top postion and he started. I went open guard, he put his hands on my neck and leaned forward... Guess what happened next?

@ Eagles- My instructor is from Brazil and usually when we do in house tourneys (Gi) we follow IBJJF rule set. NO-Gi usually anyting goes...no complaints (leg locks all day from the turtle is my go to No-GI).

But in the Gi we have guys doing leglocks and calf/ bicep slicers who arent in advance ranks (purple and above). Which are illegal techniques and could result in disqual. It ERKS me that they dont know the difference not the actual technique itself.

In my opinion I think its bad to practice moves in the Gi that you cant even use at lower ranks. No-Gi its all good.

People disagree with me on this all the time but in my Gym most of the guys dont do both Gi and No-gi. Its two different groups but i do both and have two games for both.

^^^ Correct sir! He didn't tap, so much as muffle a mild scream. He was embarassed after, but I can only imagine the drive home with his son after. But on the bright side, everyone in class got to see the speed and effectiveness of a good armbar and they all worked on it during free rolling. lol
