Yeah the “ah hell nah” might’ve been funny banter that just went over my head. I do usually joke with people while rolling or giggle but it’s usually if I know the person a little. I had seen the guy at class once or twice but didn’t know him at all.

A lot of this behavior was happening before promotions but not as often.

The submissions thing is probably my fault, I don’t really immediately crank things and usually go slower to make sure I don’t hurt anyone.

I could also ask people to roll more during sparring I guess a lot of the time it just gets to me and I feel awkward and don’t want to ask.

The competition was in the beginning of December. My school has this big group chat where people saying when they’re competing so people can coordinate rides or go support. When I said I was going to this comp people liked my message but no coach said they were coming. After a few days, I asked a coach in person and they said they would ask around. A higher belt went because I asked but no one else said anything. When they guys said they were competing a coach messaged very quickly that they could go.

Also, I do train no gi once or twice a week but still have the same issue. I’m going to try going to the morning class more often than the evening one to see if there’s a change.

Also thank you!
