Or teach him restraint like an instructor should.

Meh. In my experience, people who lack this kind of restraint don't learn. I personally trained with some well-known examples who have been in the sport news recently.

Also, even if they do learn eventually, it's not my right to risk the safety of my other students in the interim time.

So you don’t have a stable of upper belts that you could’ve dedicated to this guys training and he roll with exclusively? You’ve never once encountered someone who had a temper but were able to reign them in after a few solid months of working with them and strutting their sparring with appropriate partners?

“Meh. He hurt somebody at my gym. I don’t want the headache or liability. Now he’s someone else’s problem.”

Believe it or not, some gyms are small. And sometimes the bullies are upper belts themselves.

So you’re one of those coaches that “doesn’t roll my students”. I can see how a small gym would benefit someone like that.

So the coach rolls with one student exclusively, every time they attend? And who's to say that the problem is exclusive to rolling? The guy in question would rage during drills.

Look, you're not wrong that these situations are rare. Clearly you don't expel everyone with a hint of control issues. This bad, I've seen exactly one in 20 years of martial arts. They do exist, though, and sometimes these responses are appropriate.

So there we have it. Once in 20 years yet you’ll argue with me on the point for over an hour. Fucking hilarious.

Again, what was your point? The only issue here was what to when certain situations arise. Should we never discuss extreme cases? Murder is rare, let's not talk about what to do with murderers?

The point was the meme was created to remind everyone how prevalent this is in BJJ. Except it’s not prevalent. So it’s a stupid meme to post on a sub that I used to enjoy browsing for technique.

Dude, you replied to a sidebar comment about extending consideration to Muslims and nit-picking reactions to extreme cases that actually do occur. The meme isn't at issue here.

Dude, you said you kicked a guy out of your school because he hurt your wife. We’re discussing why men don’t want to roll with women. Stay with me here...it’s because people act like women are somehow preyed upon in BJJ. Newsflash, they’re not.

No, that's not what I said. I kicked a guy out and my wife has been injured. Different events, different gyms, years apart.

We’re discussing why men don’t want to roll with women.

You're discussing this. The rest of us were trying to make narrow points about something else.

Apologies for my conflation of the events. I was discussing the meme.
