What is Training Partner in BJJ?

Also known as: Drilling partner, Rolling partner

Quick Definition

Full Explanation

Your training partner is whoever you're working with during class. Good partners are essential for development - they give appropriate resistance during drilling, roll safely, and help you learn.
