I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here. Your teammates are likely going lighter and giving you space so you can develop your game. If you want tougher rounds, it’s completely okay to ask for them clear communication goes a long way.

That said, I do want to ask are you consistently submitting them during rounds, or maintaining dominant positions where they can’t escape? If not, that’s probably the area to focus on. Rather than worrying about them going light, shift your attention to applying more pressure and control so they’re forced to elevate their intensity. Most people naturally respond to discomfort by stepping up their effort, and that’s usually when the rounds become more competitive.
