  As a 1 month white belt, these talks are straight mana from the heavens. Keep it coming.

  Tap early and tap often. Experiment and have fun. The best jiu jitsu people that i’ve rolled with have tapped early and often. Have fun and check the ego at the door.

  I’m a newer white belt and honestly most of the time I’d rather roll with higher belts. Yes I typically get tapped but they usually do things right so the risk of injury is a lot less than someone who goes 100 and doesn’t really know what they’re doing.

  I tap when someone looks at my ankle.

  You need to roll with every body type, it’s good way to learn for real life.

  Times to tap:<br>1). To protect a joint, shoulder, knee, elbow, etc. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;If they got it, they got it. &nbsp; Prevent injury. &nbsp;<br><br>2). &nbsp; Head starts swimming.

  I like that Jocko distinguishes between going hard and going level 9 psycho. Sometimes it can feel almost personal with the person you&apos;re rolling with and it gets a little weird.
