I get that. I don't think he was trying to blame her - rather make sure she was aware her entry affects the opponent's responses. It seems common-sense, but I often have to remind students of this when they bring a hard and fast attack at me, then are surprised they get blocked hard or fall down fast.
I don't think most folks really like being in those things.
It will not stop folks from overcoming the submissions. Adding more strength to her responses is likely to do the opposite.
No but most people who are into Jiu Jitsu don't go onto martial art forums complaining about being put in them
He asked how hard she was going, which implies to me that he hasn't made a judgement. In his experience, someone who ends up in that position sometimes contributes to it by going hard (or, looking from the other angle, can help alleviate it by being more controlled). I didn't read any harsh judgement of her in his post - just. A question and an explanation of the reason for the question.
She's not complaining about being in submissions. She's complaining about injuries from them. I'd complain about that, too, if it were a regular occurrence.
I'm sorry you've lost me with that, having more strengh will make it worse how does that work?
There's a very easy way to get out of submissions before they cause any type of injury.
She also said she yelled out tap. Which I never do unless it's the only option as if it's a busy class it'll be noisy with everyone else working or talking so they may not hear. Anyway the smart thing to do especially if you don't have much experience is tap early. If you're in a position you know you're not getting out of just tap early. It's not worth the risk in my eyes I mean it's only it's not a competition you don't need to hold on for ages
Try reading it again.
Which was one of the suggestions, and something the OP agreed might be a good idea.
it makes no sense unless being weaker is an advantage, which seems unlikely, she is being over powered by beginners who being male are,somewhat stronger than her. If she was,somewhat,stronger herself then they wouldn't be over powering her, hence the submission problem would not,arise
Again, read the actual post. I never suggested being stronger was a problem, but that using it would be. Since using it would exacerbate the problem, strength doesn't become a solution, though it's a good recommendation as a general practice.
And what would be best for her during the time period it takes for her to become stronger? The strength she will need isn't just being physically stronger...it is more of how and when to use one's strength that is needed. What does she do to learn that? Is physical strength needed in the grappling game...certainly. But if it is just being somewhat stronger that is required then there is no real reason to learn good and proper techniques. Just getting stronger will do.
she getting done over by complete beginners, clearly her skills are insufficient to cope with greater strengh, she should indeed continue to develop her skills, but that may still not be sufficient to over come the strengh deficit , so one way or another she needs to increase her strengh. Plus getting stronger is generaly a quicker process that making a big jump in skill
