I remember once seeing an article by Roy Harris that addressed the issue of setting your opponent up. To grossly paraphrase, I believe he mentioned that the art of setting up an opponent doesn't become important in BJJ until around the brown belt level.

To be honest, every black belt I have spoken to (and I HAVE spoken to a few) insists that baiting and feigning is best utilized by someone who intimately understands the basics and demonstrates feel.

In short, I suppose they would suggest you pay your dues and keep rolling.

.....as if we didn't know....
