Then monday of this week i went back to class, got to help a few guys who weren't doing a choke right, and then train again with the guys, the females missed class. But the first guy i went against i submitted a few times but he refused to tap. so Andre stopped the match both times. then the guy said that since he didn't tap, he didn't lose. i just laughed at him... not much else to do in that case... other than that one guy, everyone else is really happy just to have me there. thanks to my coach Marcello, he's given me a great amount of training, that is something none of the guys have seen.
back to spain and everything i'm seeing/ learning. I went to Italica, the first roman city in Spain, and it is amazing here are a few quick photos.
here are some fun photos of me and my friends that i've made so far

Are the guys generally bound up in machismo in Spain, or not a problem?
I tended to notice it being much more prevalent in Italy than Spain, but then I'm a guy myself, so don't experience the full brunt of sexism (like guys refusing to tap due to gender, which I assume was the case with the guy you were rolling with?
