I tell them I’m not rolling hard. If they listen you’re in a good school if not then you’re prolly gonna get hurt or someone else will. Most of my partners let us know what’s up before we go.

Choose which days to spar with these people as it’s beneficial to have hard or stalling sparrings as well. Bring your A game in these sparring and set traps for them so they think they get a position but it’s a trap for a reverse or sub. 🙏🏻

Apply heavy pressure and let em cook

Being more defensive ,really focusing on not give elbow and knee space and tap fast 😂

Like my coach says its not there fault its yours. You have to learn how to control and immobilize your opponent. Yes you can communicate hey I don’t wanna roll hard but at the same time take it w a grain of sugar instead of salt. See patterns/ try shi out and work off them. BJJ isn’t a pretty sport, never was you either force your way into moves/ positions or you immobilize/bait into moves and positions. But that is what I do. Don’t get discouraged let it encourage you more to never be in that

I’m an older grappler and I don’t want to get hurt. I either hold them in a control position or I go limp and tap. I then tell them I’m done rolling. If they ask why, I tell them that I don’t want to get hurt by someone who doesn’t have control or technique. If they don’t like it, that’s their problem.

Ask them to chill out, stop training or deny them rounds

Tell them you are just there for the cardio and have to go to work later.
