You ever escaped a submission and thought, they let me get out of that? Perhaps it was your immense skill or was it an act of generosity by your training partner? In BJJ and all parts of life acts of kindness allow others to learn, survive and grow as a result of showing empathy to others. Now this might sound strange in an art of breaking ligaments and choking each other unconscious but recently there have been some acts of generosity that need to be noted. Lachlan Giles has decided to award the remaining money he had from an anonymous donor and give it equally to all Australian athletes who qualified for the ADCC. This amounts to approximately $5.5k which might not sound like much but will go a long way to help these people chase their Jiu-Jitsu dreams.
This discussion is about giving people a chance, an opportunity to live to fight another day as apposed to breaking their ligaments. Letting someone off lightly where you could potentially punish them so they have a chance to grow and develop and this helps move the culture forward.
