Interesting article.
i say let go in the gym. You need your training partners healthy. Higher ranks should tell lower belts “hey be careful with holding out for subs. Your competition won’t be as kind as a training partner.” But the gym is practice. No need to injure each other. It’s counter productive.
In competition, break it. You both know the risks of competition.
in the street, one on one fair fight, (think road rage altercation) transition to a better control position. Breaking a limb can be considered excessive force if the legal system gets involved. And you open yourself up to civil suits as well. It’s not worth it. Better to just control them until they either calm down or until law enforcement shows up. Who’s gonna look like the bad guy? The one in full control calmly trying to deescalate the situation? Or the one being controlled behaving belligerently? You don’t need to prove anything in a street fight. You just wanna control the situation and stay out of jail.
In a legit self defense situation, break it. I mean, when it’s life or death, go for everything. Bite. Eye gouge. Ear tear. Groin strikes. Go full Krav Maga. Lol.
and on a side note, chokes are better than joint locks.
