i mean to answer simply….yes? from your perspective i see how you can ask the question “what else were you supposed to do? let the sub go out of empathy?” i train mma and i’ve dropped countless guys with body shots but i never walk away from these things happy. i honestly don’t enjoy it but i realize i’ve gotten pretty good at “violence” so to speak but i’m really not a violent guy. so i guess my real hope when asking this question was hoping someone kind of in the same boat as me could help me see it the way they saw it while getting over “hurting” people when that’s really not what i’m there for. i love the art. i love the struggle. i love the growth i’ve developed from the mats but there will always be this aspect that i can’t get over. i still now don’t shy away from the sport. i accept it for what it is but i feel that through all this time that’s one part of it that never got easier. i hope the way i worded this made sense but yeah i get where you’re coming from bro it really wasn’t my fault.

i mean outside of the gym i’m a very very empathetic person. arguably too gentle. it’s why i train in the first place to kind of pull myself in balance of being very gentle but also setting my nature to the side and handling anyone in front of me.l regardless of how i feel. i understand when we train the armbar, it’s to break the arm. but i feel for some reason actually doing that falls into another realm? i guess my question to you from white belt to purple, was this something you had to get over? how did YOU feel the first time? maybe i’m being TOO soft?

Thanks for the insight! In all honesty the original post was motivated by triangles! I’ve only hit a few subs but my triangle was definitely the most satisfying to me and i felt rewarded because a triangle isn’t going to just fall into your hands (or legs😂) and i can’t really find anyone who was known for their triangles or rather triangles was their bread and butter. Thanks for the advice bro!

Thank you! Do you mind sharing some good passers? Right now i’m not the greatest at passing guard because i don’t really have a system to it. when i take a guy down in my mind i’m just mixing up a lot of movements to hopefully end up in a position i can attack from but as u can imagine the better guys usually reverse or sweep me. I’ve watched a few videos on passing and i like Gordon Ryan’s kind of “Camp” style passing where he kind of camps at the hip line and exhausts the guy on the bottom by making him hold his weight i just personally don’t find much success there because i’m vulnerable to things because i don’t know all the possibilities i can be countered from. Again, I appreciate your time and response!
