I don't but I train where few people wish to roll. I'll tap a 14 year old kid with an armbar and then go and fight for triangles and omoplatas against a guy 25lbs heavier
I don't roll with dudes who don't wear shirts on nogi nights.
I never turned anyone down since I started BJJ, but after 3 injuries this month I am wondering if I should start. Two of the injuries were from rolling with the same guy.
I'd like to thank everyone on this thread.
I went to both judo and sparring today, basically 2.5 hours of pure beatings. The gym was, according to the thermometer, 97 degrees. It was terrible.
I was done with the first few sets of rolls, situational sparring, etc (after the full judo class) and just didn't feel like I had anything left to give. I sat on the wall, hoping I'd somehow not be called for the next groupings. When I was called though, I looked at the guy, thought of this thread for some reason, and kept rolling.
Everything that happened after that was incredible. I was still tired, barely could do anything, but for some reason stuff started to click in a way that it hadn't all night.
So, thanks....I didn't turn down the roll.
