My 6 year old niece in 7-8 years old category debut
She is training for about five months here ( maybe a bit less )
Lifting heavy, eating clean, doing martial arts ( bjj/boxing/mma)
Dealing with aggressive young purple belt at open mat
At last Saturday open mat I did rolled with some young guy 18-19 years old. We started from butterfly guard, I swept him, he immediately up kick me in the face pretty hard ( I got bruised from it ) - no apologies from him, nothing.
I kept rolling, passed guard, mounted him, locked triangle from the mount. Started to squeeze - the guy didn’t tap, I don’t won’t to pull his head to finish the choke since he looking like a kiddo to me, so I kept an triangle but also taking his hand and starting to do a kimura - his hand bend like crazy and starting to looking like Z letter. But again I looked at him and I saw a kid that will let me broke his hand but won’t tapping - so I let kimura go. So I decide not to hurt him.
But after the roll I left with mixed feelings - should I finished the kimura until his shoulder popping off? For his better understanding that you should behave a bit different (in new gym especially) Should I tell him, that hard up kicks, with no apologies afterwards, is not the best way to introduce yourself at new club? Or this is coach work to do so?
Weak punches problem
Never was in boxing class, what to do? I do train for 1 month and two days 🫡
