As well, there are suttle things an untrained observer will not notice - for example 2 senior guys sparring, one establishes an armbar... immediatly the offender will give only as much effort as necessary to keep the hold, and gently apply pressure for submission. The defender, simotaneously will attempt a last ditch armbar rollout ('bas rutten escape' as we call it), if it is to late, the defender immediatly taps, if there is a possability of escape, the defender attempts it & continues sparring.
Now, in reality, the offender could have easily snapped the defenders arm in the same moment the armbar was established - however, by allowing the defender to attempt a unique move under mental pressure he has given much more experience to his training partner, and at the same time allowed the sparring match to continue which benefits cardio & of course continual positioning.
Now, imagine if you will, a training partner who will always go 100% - I would personally do everything I could NOT to train with that guy.
