Hey, guys. I just had my fifth bjj practice last night. The last 4 practices I had yet to buy a gi, so at the end of my fourth practice, I went ahead and bought one ... so I am officially a white-belt now. *feels shame*
Anyway, I got my first 2 subs last night on two different people, both with a keylock!!! I'm starting to be able to slap it on people real quick without being too obvious. (I got them pretty quickly, but man, that girl was tough for an 11 year old!!! haha j/k)
But also, I got tapped for the first time last night as well, both times by the same guy ... and both times were by triangle choke. I was leaning too far foward and when he started to get it I leaned foward even more rather than fighting it and he just sunk it in even better. That guy tapped everyone out in the class, though ... he was pretty good ....
So last night was pretty cool ... just gave me more incentive to keep coming to practice and giving it my all. Unfortunately, when I was driving back home and celebrating my white-beltness and first 2 taps, I realized I had shut my car door on my gi and had been driving down the highway with part of my gi hanging out.
