Been injured twice in three weeks, thinking about quitting.....

New gym, they don't like u

That is not a valid reason to injure someone. I mean, who needs to retain whitebelts.. Fuck them losers.

Lesson one. Leave ego at the door and tap early.

That advice helps with part of this issue, does not address the toxic gym atmosphere he found himself in.

Honestly, sounds like you can be the hammer but are having trouble being the nail.

You tapped the guy 5 times in a round. Did you expect him not to come back at you hard?

When I roll with people I match their intensity. Sounds like your training partners are doing the same, matching your intensity. If you wanna get injured less, lower your intensity and speed, and tap sooner regardless of your pride and ego.

That's why I stopped sparring in muay thai. Too many ambitious assholes trying to take my head off.

Injuring a knee might limit the honeymoon in certain ways...

You need to be willing to smash the old lady no matter the circumstance..

I thought it was normal to be nursing an injury at all times in bjj.
