Tap Today – Train Again Tomorrow
By
Given the current popularity of grappling and the UFC, many people have heard the term “tapping out” but don’t really understand the greater importance of it. Tapping out comes from Brazilian Jiujitsu and is literally tapping your opponent’s body as a means of letting them know that you know that you aren’t able to get out of the position that you are in and that they have won. It also signifies that you know that staying in the position that you are in can immediately lead to you sustaining serious damage. What does this mean to us as CrossFitters? As beginning grapplers, we were taught “Tap today, train tomorrow”. To all beginning CrossFitters, we advocate the same principle. Go as hard as you can for as long as you can – but know your own limits. Be honest with yourself about whether your ego is picking your weights for you! Train hard, train smart and make sure that you can come back and train again tomorrow.
