brag: my girlfriend does BJJ!

I've thought of this, but I can't see myself letting other dudes roll around on top of my girl, Especially being a guy and knowing what guys think while doing so.

I would end up killing too many people via hatchet.

well she could be ass-ugly. i got a few girls in my gym... and they look like ogres. i have no intention of hooking up with them, and i actually find it a chore to roll around with them because rather than rolling with ugly women who are weak and have shitty technique (as 90 percent of girls do) id rather roll with an ugly dude who had great technique so i learn something.
 
tell her to relax and it will come. If it doesn't tell her to call me, I'll make her come.
 
What a wonderful thread. It's really quite enjoyable to read. Especially the one about her "getting a tingle" from dudes grinding her in her guard hahahaha. That one just paints a picture.
 
My G/F is now training at my gym and is having a blast on the nights she can make it.
 
I say good for you man. That's badass. She'll be safer when you're not with her, and you guys have something awesome in common to do together. Plus getting more fit, looking hot in a gi, etc...my girl does judo with me, judo chicks are real hot.
 
Wait a second - you're bragging that you let your girl get sweaty and roll around on the floor with all sorts of different men?
 
what if you're eating her out, and you caress her belly and reach for a breast, and she triangles you. what then??
 
My gf does BJJ with me aswell. And while I am not worried about her getting a major turn-on from mounting/being mounted by the other guys in the gym, her being felt-up by guys at the gym while rolling or her leaving me for some other guy at the gym I have noticed that her being there does give me some problems.
I guess I will start off with some pro's though since this is supposed to be a response to a thread written by a positive guy ;)

+
*she works out
*she has a lot of fun drilling and chatting away
*she gets more understanding about my passion for the sport (no problem with buying epuipment equipment or me using a lot of money and free time to go to seminars etc)
*it is kinda cool watching ufc-events etc with your girlfriend ;)

-
*We have different degrees of seriousness while we are training: I am very focused on the drills et cetera while on the mat and often asked by my coach to help making sure that everyone in class gets the technique, help giving out pointers to those who does not etc. And she mainly does this to have fun with no real intention of advancing in the belts or competing.
This basically gives me two options: either she gets annoyed with me not chit-chatting with her while we're on the mat (even though I told her it'd be like this before she joined the gym) or me feeling stressed out about not being focused in class (horrible feeling of wasting mine and others' time)
*If during sparring she cannot execute a technique on me she gets very cranky, this gets even worse if I provide input on what she needs to change in order for the technique to work. If others point out what needs improvement there seems to be no annoyment, or atleast not to the same degree.

Sorry if I kinda steal your thread here, but it would be interesting to know how other guys in this situation deal with it? Maybe I can pick up some good advice ;) Also sorry about the grammar/spelling misstakes, english is not my first language and I usually lurk forums instead of writing.
 
LOL at this thread! The TS posted to brag and is getting trounced!

It may come down to how you view your training sessions, my GF has never accompanied me to a BJJ class as I view it as time for me to train hard with complete focus, for this I need some alone time. If your GF views the class slightly different, i.e. as an opportunity just to excercise and have some fun then there will be an obvious conflict of interest.

Just my opinion but you can:

1. Have a day where she trains with you, and you attend the class on the understanding that this will be a lighter session. This will allow you train on the other days with the intensity that you desire and no distractions.

2. Suggest she take up another activity other than BJJ, where either she or you can both attend but get the same benefits.

3. Maybe just talk to her about it and she might attend the class and realise where the boundaries lie.
 
So my girlfriend started doing BJJ on the 19th. Woo! She suffers from a lot of anxiety in the gym; she freaks out that she can't remember how to do the moves she's taught, she freaks out when rolling because she thinks her brain is freezing up, and she freaks out because she feels her friend whom she joined with is getting the moves but she isn't. I mean, as much as I try to tell her that all of these things are totally normal and that people who have been doing jiujitsu for years still forget a lot of the moves they get shown, she isn't buying any of it.

But the fact is she's going, and I think she's even enjoying it. It's only been four classes, but I'm quite excited. So I just wanted to brag. :)

You may now commence with all the bad taste jokes about closed guard, triangles, north-south, getting the third hook in, etc. :)

my personal favorite, the Rear-Naked Poke.

Sounds to me like a combination of 1 and 3 would be a good fix (relationships are all about compromises sometimes huh? ;) ). I'll talk to her about it later tonight when I get home from work. Thank you for the input!
