I've been doing jujitsu for about 2 months now, and I gotta be honest it's quite hard to get used to, but I can see how the techniques will eventually be second nature.

One thing i've observed is if you don't get a technique such as an elbow lock on in the first place, you DO NOT try and snap the lock on with force, as this could easily mean broken limbs.

Went to a new club yesterday for more practice, and there was a blue belt guy there can't of been more than 18/19, but he was a right (insert 4 letter swear word). Slamming the girls to the floor with hip throws and snapping into locks.

I was lucky he didn't do me damage, I managed to control myself and not lash out at him even though he did p me off.

He did get told a couple of times not to be so agressive with his technique but he didn't seem to pay much attention.
 
Training with people is a great privaledge and whenever I enage in a sport with someone (bear in mind I do dangerous sports) I have respect in the person or else I dont do it.

I have done martial arts in the past, including with people who would be more agressive with their contact. But I have also noted that generally such people were also very choosy with whom they would be agressive with, and that it would be done in a manner of respect. If you didn't want it, they wouldn't try it.

The guy sounds like a **** who will probably get himself bricked in the next year.
 
Anybody who comes over like that when we train, usually one of either myself ,Matty or Paul takes them to pieces when we spar later on.

Its normally guys from other styles or people who think they can mix it up showing off, the people who train regularly, it just doesnt cross their minds to do it.
 
I haven't come across a JJ club that does any sparring yet. At the beginning of the session we did split off into pairs sit back to back and then had to try and pin the other. But tbh I've never done any ground work so I just used my strength/weight to pin them, still worked mind you :p
