Default Just Tap

I train @ the Relson Gracie School in the Bronx NYC, Don't listen to your friend and struggle to free your arm. Just tap - Try and found out why you were put in that position in the first place. If you guys are drilling positions, as in guy on top passes the guard and guy on bottom try and submit - if your the guy on top and you get placed in an arm bar and you want to struggle 2 to 4 seconds fine but after that you have to ask yourself - "what did I do to put myself in this situation" That's what my instructor says all the time,,

took me a few times to get it. but it makes sense - positioning is everything at least in my opinion anyway
