That about pinpoints it. They like trying out the latest move somebody learned over at Boston Brazilian or something, which is how they end up rolling on the side while the instructor is showing a new technique. And to me it seems they like to wear the rash guard just to show off, aside from the actual use of the garment. Oh, and here's another fun story. I was rolling with one of these wonderful gentlemen, who in particular likes to use nasty methods (I wanna say more akin to Vale Tudo stuff) to gain the upperhand/submit. We were just sparring like everyone does at the end of class, and instead of taking it easy on the new chick, he's like...not going ALL out to submit me, but he's being overly rough with me, trying to submit. Why, I ask? Why are you trying to be all tough with the novice? Mr. Heel Hook was a quite annoyed by it.
I must point out that not ALL the guys there are all macho men like that. But none of them are very friendly. :/ Mr. Heel Hook really doesn't like it that much either, but it's free training, like I said. Recently a new BJJ school opened up near where we live, but the place charges 60 bucks a month for two classes a week! Not even Gracie Academy charges that much. Ptooey! But, we'll be checking the place out nontheless. Or he will at least.
