Yes. Jiu-Jitsu is an art that is based on leverage, not power. That being said, a smaller person can submit a bigger opponent. It is not a cowardly move to tap, but rather a humble move to acknowledge that you have lost and that you are ready to learn. Tapping is what avoids injuries and not being hurt is what allows you to continue training and eventually know all of the submissions and escapes.
I stopped training FOR 9 YEARS and this gym let me step right back into the grind. John and Summer are amazing teachers. if you are looking for a gym as a beginner or as a seasoned vet, check them out.
I have learned so much and continue to learn. Try it out, I promise you will love it.
This is a great place to train. It is a family oriented environment with two amazing black belts leading the way. I am so happy to have a BJJ home again.
