Episode 320: Have you ever accidentally whacked a friend in the face during a roll? Friend of the podcast Toby was escaping an armbar and lost his defensive grip resulting in a slap to the face of his mate. What do you do in this situation and what is the etiquette ? Can you stretch too much? Have you ever injured yourself stretching? The boys address where is the best place to stop before going too far but damage is part of both improving your flexibility and BJJ so you need to find your sweet spot. Do you feel socially awkward about asking others to roll? What if you were blind? Having people avoid you for one reason or another sucks- you need to get yourself an ally to help you. Whether it be a coach or a higher belt assisting you to bridge the gap and expand your rolling circle. JT & Joey offer some suggestions on ways to include everyone when it comes time to roll.
