A visiting black belt tapped a black belt gym owner I know a handful of times in one round. Eventually, the owner quit with time left in the round. A friend told me about this encounter and my first thought was… how rude. If I obviously have the upper hand in a roll, I might tap someone a couple of times. After that I switch to catch and release or focus on defense. Ive never tapped anyone 5+ times in a round. Not because i couldn’t, but because i wouldn’t. But maybe I’m wrong, ideally we all leave our ego at the door. There’s nothing inherently wrong or shameful about tapping out. Ive been reconsidering my knee jerk reaction. I think part of my problem is that I’ve always tread extra carefully when visiting a different gym. What do you think? Is there a point it becomes rude or disrespectful to keep hunting submissions?
