Some kind of strain on my sternum after getting mounted by a ~250 lb dude. Wondering if this is common and what to look out for

In a beginner class last wednesday with 4 students. I got the short straw and have to drill with this big guy; I'm about 170 lb with not much muscle. Drills didn't involve side control or mount so they went fine, but later we did situationals and he ended up in top mount, I tap after a few seconds of pressure.

I have been looking at these ones with crazy and cool designs on the inside of them. I was wondering if I would get certain looks, be made fun of, or if there is a certain thing or taboo surrounding them because I haven’t seen anyone wear them. If so what would be a better alternative. submitted by /u/Clean-Alternative667 [link] …

Need some advice- 2 stripe white belt.

I’ve been a 2 stripe white belt, training full time two classes a day for the the last 2 years. I regularly submit brown and black belts at my gym but my coach won’t promote me for some reason! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but I feel like I should be at least a purple belt 3 stripes. Anyone have advice?! submitted by /u/Far_Cap1261 [link] [comments]
