Why “Trust in the Tap” Must NEVER Be Violated


A disturbing video is circulating on the internet of a BJJ white belt getting choked unconscious after he tapped out and his partner didn’t release the choke. Ryron and Rener share their thoughts on the incident and shed light on the bigger picture implications of violating the “trust in the tap.”

  1. Shoot! thatd be scary af…what the hell they trying to prove not stopping after the tap? Disgusting

  2. I didn't tap out cause of pride in 2007 now I got 3 ruptured disc. I was 37. Never be prideful. I was teaching the frontal gullitine and got out of it. Next day right arm pressure points were trobing neck like a hangover etc. Always. Tap out.

  3. I got to give it to the white belt he didn't quit lol he's gonna be awesome if he keeps up with the training….

  4. I'm glad you shared a video on this topic. At my gym we train hard with respect. I missed your seminar in Toronto last weekend. I heard gr8 things about it. Oss!

  5. Your whole family are epic!!! I trained a bit with team rhino. You can see the love when you talk about getting choked…lol love the videos too

  6. The whole point of BJJ is to learn and grow from one another as well as perfect the craft, but that video is the exact opposite when you're a black belt your whole objective is to teach others who under you on how to become better BJJ practitioners not choke them out unconscious. The tap in any BJJ setting should always be respected.

  7. Martial Arts is great. Unfortunately it attracts tools and egotistical douche bags… so sad
