Being new and not understanding is one thing, kids not paying attention, happens all the time, being assholes to each other is every day in class, but Aimless described an outright refusal to let go of a choke when the partner tapped and the instructor had to pry the kid off. If our gym knowingly lets that student continue to train, that is a lawsuit and the end of our gym.

We are an MMA gym for reference here, not some bullshit Gracie barra either. It’s unacceptable risk to the gym and our students.

I agree with whoever said to give the instructors leeway to handle this.
But seriously, tell your son that if the kid does it again, he needs to do whatever he has to do to get out of the choke.

Probably not the best advice, but I would rather him handle on the mat.

Teach him to spiral ride and don't be shy where his hand goes.

If the opponent starts standing hit an elevator.  Suck it up and in.  The kid will be walking bowlegged after the match and he won't want to wrestle him again.

Your child needs to develop a life long rivalry with the other child based on martial arts eventually forming different dojos and enlisting the support of other children decades from now to wage a private war against each other over a series of more and more complicated personal conflicts.

The problem is, if you are in a fully locked in rear naked choke, your only choice is tapping. The tap has to be respected in order for anyone to feel safe training in the gym.

The instructor should make it clear the choker can't get away with it.  If he exhibited bad behavior AFTER the choking incident he should be banned.

Seriously though, I have been teaching kids class for 4 years now and we have only dealt with this once, and I’m quite certain the kid we had to ban from the gym had a very bad home life, physical abuse and all.

That shit cannot be tolerated.

Maybe the other kid is from NY or NJ?

Anyway, he doesn’t sound like he wants to listen to the instructor, maybe he has behavioral problems and the parents thought judo would teach him some control.

MMA gym as well, and this is easily handled within the gym by the instructor. If that doesn’t work for whatever reason, then yeah cancel the membership. Canceling membership isn’t the first step. Especially for a kid.

The whole liability thing is a poor argument considering there is precedent that you can really get sued no matter what if an injury happens regardless of intent.

Competent instructors can address this, overweight guys in GD that can’t fight, cannot.

This. The kid failing to respond to an instructor command and requiring physical interaction to break the hold is grounds for removal from the class.

I don’t know man, sure we could probably help the kid, but that’s a fuck load of liability you’re accepting. At the end of the day, our business, our rules. We are very clear on day one, any refusal to let go of a choke or a limb will result in termination of membership. That is told to the parents and to all the kids.

Like I said in an earlier post, this has only been an issue one time in my 4 years of coaching kids.

This has only been an issue one time. If a kid can’t respect a tap they aren’t mature enough to train at our gym and are a huge liability/potential lawsuit.

As noted in the OP, the kid has two strikes already, this is not immediately kicking to curb, it's a bad position of a serious injury occurs due to a kid who has been told repeatedly it's inappropriate and fails to heed the instructor .

Put him with bigger and better partners after speaking with him, have him get thrashed by someone slightly older and be taught a lesson, burpees, etc. People (kids included) have poor judgment and make mistakes all the time. At the end of the day, no one got hurt or was really on the verge of serious injury because it’s a kids class and that’s what instructors are there for. This is significantly lighter than say someone ripping a heel hook on a hobbyist and potentially sidelining them and taking food off of their table. And folks looks at that situation as “part of the game”, but a kid, who literally is being taught nonstop in life, can’t be corrected after making bad decisions because of “liability” is odd to me. BJJ may be the only structure that kid has in life.
