I once tapped out in full mount. Cunt squeezed his legs and my damn head nearly popped off. We agreed to use technique and not strength after he got don't laughing at me.
When my friend won a competition and I asked what with, he said a Guillotine. When I was asking about it (did you catch him on a shot or was it from guard? What type of Guillotine), he mentioned that he'd been working on them because he'd asked our coach how to stop getting Guillotined by me. Not a direct compliment but it definitely made feel good.
I only got compliments on my MT or boxing because I was actually good at those. BJJ talent in the south bay area in L.A county all the way to the O.C is insanely stacked I could be in the room with like 5-10 abu dhabi level guys and with like brian ortega and kron gracie down the street on a regular day. I guess my point is that no one was ever going to compliment my grappling unless I became some kind of elite level grappler.
