The spazzing/aggressive line is one I ...Good post.<br /><br />The spazzing/aggressive line is one I tend to blur in my head when I see it, which is definitely part of the reason I <a href="http://www.slideyfoot.com/2010/11/bjj-aggression.html" rel="nofollow">dislike aggression</a> so much. I can't think of anything worse than being told I was a spaz, so I can imagine how horrible that must have felt.<br /><br />The flipside is that people can end up going too far the other way, which isn't a positive way to develop your jiu jitsu either. Difficult balance to strike, although I think I prefer being too passive than being too aggressive (then again, I did manage to accidentally elbow and knee my training partner in the face last lesson, by being really sloppy during drilling, so they might disagree ;p).slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977156088727204121.post-74554390783667954352010-12-10T05:39:55.220-08:002010-12-10T05:39:55.220-08:00Ash: What do you mean by flailing?

I avoid the hell out of behemoth spazzes...Unfortunately, these guys see success as a result of spazing, and are the hardest to get to chill out as a result.<br />I let the higher/bigger guys deal with them.<br /><br />The reason it worked out the way it did for me was because I was the same size as my Purple friend, and he was significantly better than me. Ultimately, what he said stunned and hurt me, but it was the best thing for the circumstance, looking back.<br /><br />You have some very cool looking books on your blog. I don't know if I'd class myself as "Lazy," but I like the idea. Sounds humorous.

(Even though I never had a friend that wanted to beat the 'bejesus' out of me.) When I see someone spazzing I do my best to avoid grappling with them. <br /><br />Let someone else teach them a lesson. I am trying to grapple for decades so I let the spaz whisperers deal with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977156088727204121.post-59203787281778162962010-12-09T20:50:31.998-08:002010-12-09T20:50:31.998-08:00I think flailing counts as spazzing too.I think flailing counts as spazzing too.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389820287771206112noreply@blogger.com
