In this episode of the South Texas Judo Podcast, we discuss an important topic that applies to every martial arts school: the right to say “No.” Whether it’s randori, groundwork, sparring, or choosing a training partner, every student deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected on the mats. We talk about training partner selection, size and strength differences, hygiene, communication with coaches, and why creating a positive training environment is essential for the growth of any martial arts community. Respect, safety, and trust are just as important as technique.
