I grappled for the first time last night and will be going again later on this afternoon. I'll try to keep this in bullet-point style so it's rather brief. But basically, it didn't go too well. Normally training sessions are two hours, but I stayed for three and really overworked myself, I actually felt sick on the way home and fell asleep as soon as I lied down.
- Captain Zeus (that's his name, for real) said I was just trying to muscle everyone around instead of trying to find leverage points. I'm still not too sure what that means.
- He also said that I was moving around too much. I was trying to control his wrists but he said that wouldn't get me anywhere. And I apparently was trying to stand up a lot which let him sweep me easily.
- I trained in bare feet and now the tops of my toes and feet are really sore. Should I wear training shoes today?
- The insides of my biceps have these brown spots on them that looks like small bruises, but nobody touches my biceps yesterday. Is that a result of me overworking myself?
- I got my friend's Alex's back easily and tried an RNC, I had the hooks in but it didn't actually do anything. The choke was on his neck but he just sat their and waited it out. What exactly was I missing?
Any advice you guys could give would be a big help.
