whos smashing newbis?

Happens all the time. Recently I was visiting family in MD and went by a gym and borrowed a gi and white belt to train. I'm nothing special but I have trained 5 days a week for about 4 years. First roll a 3 stripe blue tried to show what a badass he was. My guess is that he would have either hurt or scared off a newbie. A similar thing happened to me when I was an actual newbie trying out gyms.

YeAh, that is pretty bad.

The gym owner is trying to build a client base, just to have one of his customer scaring the potential customer away.

And this is why is utterly stupid not to let whitebelts roll...

White belts are allowed to roll at GJJ. You just need to finish the combatives stuff.
