Guard Brazilian
People in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, do you hide your bruises, or display them proudly?
I get bruises from wrestling all the time. I get bruises on my hard from all the hold, and I get bruises on my legs from guard-passes. I'm very white, so it doesn't take much for purple spots to show up.
Usually, the bruises are small, so people are always telling me they are hickeys. But sometimes I do get big bruises.
I'm always wearing sleeveless tees, so people can see them all the time. I'm not really embarrassed by them, I think it's cool people can see what I do in the afternoons.
Would you be embarrassed by the bruises from wrestling?
I didnt bruise much. Some advice if I can? Dont fight the pass so hard. They're gonna pass eventually so work more on letting them pass on your terms. set up a way to put them back in gaurd as soon as they pass or just start to thread the needle as soon as they pass the second leg if they pass over the legs. Dont sweat the pass.
