The whole situation wasn’t a good way to test for a promotion. Nicky should’ve been more eloquent in talking to his grandpa, and stop the pressure the grandpa was putting on his grandson. If grandpa okay = grandson okay. And all is good And after that nothing would happen

[@jolier1313]

@@goingcrazy1019 if there's anything that makes me think that a student is not ready for the next belt promotion is when they ask for the next belt promotion. They're missing the whole point of ranks and promotions. You can't request your way to the next level. You earn it.

@@morpheus2072 Usually? Probably? 19/20 times, yes? I mean in this video, Ethan certainly wasn't being a "menace" here--he finished this ankle lock with his face and and Uke had tons of time to tap. Unless our Norwegian friend means "skillful" or "intensely competitive" when he talks about being a "menace?" But who knows, maybe Ethan was a dick and was going around injuring every training partner he rolled with up at TriStar 7 years ago? Possible, but I doubt it--probably a few bruisers training at that gym that would've tuned him up for that kind of behavior. But instead of all this speculation, maybe our Norwegian friend can elaborate?

[@Name-ql7jf]

It is 100% the responsibility of people that aren’t brand new to tap when a submission is being very slowly applied. If you are a purple belt you should know this. The flip side is not cranking shit that breaks people, and Ethan (in a rare moment of clarity) wasn’t spazzing or going fast

[@danielauguste4030]

[@garrydye2394]

I knew of a track and field middle and high school coach who was a high level cross country, track, and marathon runner. Guy would run sub 18 minute 5Ks, easily. He said everyone was on the freshman and junior varsity teams, and only if they could beat him in a 5K, would he allow them to he on varsity. Only 1 kid was on his varsity team that year. 😂 That's the B Team way. It's probably a relic of culture from the Danaher days.

[@Ema-nuel]

for the gram

[@kkmoon5691]

It's fortunate that it's the ankle (among joints, the ankle has relatively good recovery even if ligaments are torn and can heal naturally). Ethan didn't mean to twist it to the point of breaking; he just intended to twist it enough to get a tap, but it seems like a popping sound occurred. I hope it heals well. 그나마 발목이라서 다행(발목은 인대가 끊어져도 자연회복될 정도로 그나마 관절 중에는 회복성이 좋음), 이단은 부러질정도로 돌릴려고 한 건 아니고 탭받을 정도만 하려 했는데 팝 소리가 나버린것 같음. 잘 회복되길.

A black belt should be wise enough and let go of submissions against lower belts to not injure. Educate and prove u got the wisdom and skills to carry a black belt. Power is to know you can do it but choosing to not.

[@aaronkinder2807]

Why are people like this? You're rolling against a black belt, who has you in a submission, and you refuse to tap. It's just so nonsensical.

[@jutosgrind]

Usually I disagree with this, because you should expect that the consequence of not tapping to a black belt should not be that he breaks your limbs, since a black belt should know when it gets dangerous and can just let go or slowly force the tap, but this one is just stupid. At first he rolls with it, but at the end he doesnt do anything and thinks he is invincible, especially why would you not tap to a heel hook ...

[@balt3562]

In fairness, as a black belt you should have enough self control to not break a dudes leg, and if the guy doesnt tap you should be the bigger man and just let go and walk away, its not like anyone made money besides clowning on the guy on youtube.

[@DeepsGnome]

Nah. That's not how it works. You let white belts go if they don't tap, because they didn't know any better. But this guy is trying to prove he is a brown belt. A purble belt, let alone a brown belt should know to tap, and he had a good 5 seconds to tap, and he didn't. That shows he's not at all ready for brown. Ethan gave him plenty of time to tap. You could see he was slowly applying more pressure over time, to give him the opportunity to tap. His fault, not Ethan's

[@007-e7u]

Nah, Ethan should have self control and should not have broken his friend’s leg on camera when they were just fooling around about a fictional promotion.

[@kybalion848]

I mean he put that modified estima lock on as slowly as possible.

[@DeepsGnome]

@@007-e7u fooling around? He was told if he gets a point on a black belt, he would get his brown belt. He was actively rolling, and it was probably why he didn't tap. If he was just fooling around, he most likely wouldn't tapped to a submission on an ankle. But he really wanted that brown which is why he didn't want to tap. And before you say it's "fictional" many gyms do this when someone requests a promotion. The coach will point out one of he's best competitors, and tell them if they win they can get the belt. I've seen it happen for someone who wanted their purple. A guy wanted his purple, because he thought he deserved it. The guy convincingly beat one of the best purple belts in the gym, and he got promoted on the spot.

[@balt3562]

@kybalion848 the point I'm getting at is anyone worth their grain of salt knows the flexion on those joints means its about to break. Id get it if he was spazzing, but you have to actively make an effort to hurt a guy like this. I just don't think it's right, ruins too many people in the sport in a thing that is literally helping no one make money or their game better
