That way you'll last a lot longer.
In competition, things are a little different.
We also have to specify what is the situation.
If you're in the first round of ADCC, your first match, you get caught, I would always expect my students to tap.
because if you get your leg broken or your arm broken in the first round, you've still got three more matches before you get to the final.

Yeah, let it go.
Yeah, I would expect him to tap.
I also think that if you're in a stranglehold, it doesn't make a lot of sense in not tapping because you're going to pass out.
It's like you said in chess, it's kind of impolite to make the guy take it through to his conclusion.
So I don't see any heroism in just letting yourself pass out.
Now, things change when you get into a final.
If you're in a final and you're ahead on points and you're willing to, most people at that point are going to be willing to let something break in order to win a gold medal.
At that point, I leave it up to the student.
It's a deeply personal decision.
I would never say to a student, I expect you to let your body break in order to win a gold medal.
I think my students are more than mature enough to make up their own minds.
I would be angry if they let their bodies break in a meaningless fashion in some random tournament or in a first round match where there's no way you could go on to the second, third and fourth round.
matches with a broken limb.
But in a final, in a gold medal match in ADCC, I would leave the decision to them, a spontaneous decision in the moment.
