General things a good partner should be aware of:- Always communicate with their partners. Tell them your injuries and ask them if they have any injuries.
- Always keep safety in mind. Make sure you try to avoid any unnecessary accidents, such as over applying submissions or hitting your partner on accident with your limbs.
- Will be aware of their surroundings. Make sure when they roll that no one is really close to them so they do not cause an accident around them.
- Will not be tense. Make sure you are not extremely tense as it may lead to injury and reduce the effectiveness of the training.
- Will be open minded to learn from there training partners
- Will not stop drilling until the instructor says so or moves onto another technique. They will make use out of their time and they would want you to do the same.
- Will listen to you. When you tell them you do not want to go hard they should listen and not just do whatever they want, and you should do the same. If he wants to roll light, and you agree that means you roll light, not 100% percent.
- Will let go as soon as someone taps them and will not hold on too long.
- Will not have an ego and will submit always on time. (xale07)
- Will adapt their game according to theirs and your experience level. If you are a white belt and they are a brown belt they should adjust their game accordingly and not always go all out. This also applies to size differences. (xale07)
- Will make sure they have clean hygiene. Their gi will be clean. They will have clean breath, shower, and wear deodorant.
- Will be someone who has a positive outlook on training and enjoys it as much as you do. (Lykolate)
- Will be someone you enjoy drilling with. You never want to leave anyone out, but you also want to make sure you enjoy training with someone and they will help to elevate your game. (Lykolate)
- Will be someone who supports you and tries to help motivate you. This is important to develop the "Team" aspect and to help everyone move one step forward in their training. You want someone who will help push you when you are tired and help get you past that mental barrier of wanting to give up and stop. (Lykolate)
