What is Tapping?
Tapping is a way of telling your opponent that you are in danger and want to stop. This is not losing. Tapping is something that everybody who ever steps foot on the mats is going to do. It is going to happen thousands of times, no matter what your belt level.
A white belt can tap a black belt. It is not about winning, it is about learning. So appreciate your partner's skill and acknowledge your own growth.
