WolverineGuy Posted February 9, 2004 Posted February 9, 2004 Every thursday, we have our usual grappling class. I'm probably the number 2 grappler in the school (unless you count our master instructor, who by FAR outskills us). At any rate, I've been out for a few months due to having a baby. So, I go in for my first match in two or three months, and Ron (the number one grappler) steps in. Let me paint this picture for you. Ron has been there every day. This is my first day back. Ron is 6'2, 240lbs, solid muscle, and quick as a snake. I'm 5'10", 190 lbs...mostly muscle, though not as in shape as I was three months ago. So, Ron goes to grab me...and I rolled back, threw my leg over his head, and locked him in an armbar. Tapped in fifteen seconds. That was today's "I love me" story.

Karateka_latino Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Good. Its always nice to see technique overcome power. lol
Rich67 Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 That's sweet. I have a long way to go... I just started working out with a buddy of mine. He trained at RCJ Machado in Van Nuys California. He's pretty good, but he isn't a real good instructor. He shows me some moves, but I have trouble applying them in a actual situation. I guess it's just repetition repetition repetition! I've learned an "upa" drill, how to pass the guard, and a kimura lock from the guard. It's fun, and I am still looking for a BJJ studio here in Tampa. Until I find one, I guess I'll just learn as much as I can from him. Mixed Martial Artist
