Today I got completely hammered by my coach. who is a high level black belt and Brazilian judo champion, so that was expected. however, I also got completely swept and bpdy lock passed by a new black belt who I used to be pretty even with. he is 80 lbs heavier, but still, I felt like I should have been demoted back to purple belt. I felt that maybe I should be demoted down to blue belt when a gigantic white belt (270 lbs) wrestler nearly passed my guard, and I could not invert to his legs. Just way to muc pressure even though he had no head control at all. Everyone has crap days at practice, and this was one of those.
I could blame my shoulder injury, but I am not sure that if my shoulder was 100%, that I would have done significantly better.
I had one of those days today at open mat. Just mashed like a piece of cubed steak by nearly everybody. At the end of it, one of our higher purple belts who is 8 months out from an ACL repair just played top and rode me like a rented mule. It was rough.
