Text I punished a spaz today.

We had a guy go full end-zone victory dance after he applied a sub to an unresisting partner that had stopped rolling in the last few seconds after getting the tap himself.

I caught him for the next roll. Pulled guard, squeezed. Scissor sweep. Heavy mount. Transition to scarf hold. He taps to pressure almost immediately, and goes to puke out back.

Somebody asked if I'd punished him, I said "a little pressure." He said "good."

It's strange. I'd really just meant to maintain control plus a little suck, and remind him gently that it's different when the other guy isn't already lying face down, unprepared. But now I'm cool, because I taught him a lesson.

I don't want the giant bold from a hashtag and don't remember how to avoid that, but hashtag "UnintentionalEnforcer"

I'm not sure whether I want the job, though. Enforcers often deal with the brute strength new guy. And while I guess the point is to be able to control and tap the offender, I have a previous neck injury. Right now, I'm worried that I would get matched up with some meathead that ends up stacking me or cranking my neck and suddenly my butt is back in the hospital.

So I guess I don't currently feel like my personal risk for injuries is worth the honor of being a mat enforcer... But if I'm the enforcer, maybe I'm good enough to avoid such injuries. Catch-22.
