So apparently today was payback time. It was not a good day for BJJ.
I've hurt my elbow two weeks ago and I've been going easy at it these past few days. Last Thursday it seemed pretty ok, so I trained with more intensity. Mistake, shoulder hurts again.
Anyways, I was sparring with a lighter partner who hurt his ribcage muscles from doing pull-ups in the gym and we were doing so in a friendly light no-injury fashion. I took sidecontrol without pressuring him too much, and he kindly asked me to work the side control on his left instead of his right. I switched and we kept rolling, even with some fancy moves and little amount of strength. I mean, we're team mates right? you have to take care of your team mates!
Coach asks me: how's the shoulder? -a bit sore, was my answer.
-Fénix, he says (because the guy calls ''himself'' Fenix, yeah the one that loses to me in the video on the OP) Spar with him and go light because his shoulder is hurt.
Ok we say...
Fenix asks: which shoulder hurts? -The right one.
Inmediately he grabs my arm+shoulder with both hands and pulls to the side, actually hurting me quite a bit. We scramble, he takes side control, I escape, and we end up in the beggining position again. Without thinking it much, he goes for the same move, grabbing my hurt shoulder and arm, and pulling to the side with considerable intensity. We scramble again a bit, he ends up taking my back and I tap via gi choke.
We usually spar for 5 minutes with each person, and this went on for like 3 so we had time to roll again, but I refused. Telling him (in russian so people wouldn't overhear) that what he did isn't right, and that because of him I might miss next training. He goes on publicly saying that people who are hurt should not roll.
At the end of class he comes up to me and says: if it hurts, tap. Don't be stupid.
Also, at the next training session, a couple of hours later (I go to both), a guy breaks... literally snaps his leg like a twig. We don't understand how it happened, his opponen wasn't applying any pressure or lock on the leg, it seems that somehow the combined body weights of both guys applied pressure on the leg unintentionally. That will need surgery, poor guy. Not a good day today in my BJJ class.
