Episode 312: Does your coach roll you hard? But then insist you roll too hard? This was an awkward situation for a listener of the show and resulted in them changing gyms in order to keep improving. What is the right thing to do when your coach gives it but can not take it? Do you use the smother choke from the back? Putting your hand over the nose and mouth of your training partner to get them to submit might be considered foul play but depending on your gym might be perfectly acceptable behaviour. Is it a legit technique or dirty move? Recently the ADCC Trials were completed in Brazil and the level of competition was exceptional, was it the hardest trials event ever and is this the hardest region to qualify in?
