First night of BJJ last night (Analysis)

awesome man. keep it up.

No lie, one new guy started in our school and he saw the other guys do gi chokes etc...

When he was rolling, he tried to choke his partner with his belt... No joke..
He was mounted and he hugged the guy on top and pulled him down, passed his left side of his belt over the guys back, grabbed it with his right hand and proceeded to try to wrap the belt around the guys neck....

that kid will be beast one day.....if his training partners don't kill him first.

I would have congratulated him on being so resourceful.

Right after class I went to Barnes & Noble and bought Jiu Jitsu Univiersity (Saolo).

When I got home I went on mginaction to find some ways to get owned less next time. :icon_lol:

Very addictive.

do not information overload yourself.

Everybody in this thread recommends it:

Yes, it is very good from what I've seen. It was $40. Full of color pictures with step by step instructions for positional defenses, escapes/sweeps, and submissions.

 

[Ballzilla]

Sweet. I may pick it up sometime in the future.

 

[unbreakable904]

my first night was monday. hope you got tapped out less than i did haha.

I actually didn't get submitted at all which is what I found surprising. I had my back taken quite often but I was able to fend of the choke. Some dude grabbed my ankle and prceeded to try and do something with it but the instructor stepped in and stopped him. I don't know what he was going for but apparently it wouldn't have been good for me.

 

[tysnw]

no, probably not

guys who grab your ankles and proceed to do an unknown something to it usually do not do so with good intentions.

 

[KingJeff]

Keep it up. It's a slow and long process.

If you're really going to do it, it should consume the rest of your life.

You can say that again....it's very frustrating but I'll keep at it.
