monkeygirl Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 My first "submission" was probably at orange belt, about a year into my training. Orange belt self-defense was single-handed hair grabs. The defense involved a wristlock. However, this wasn't like a grappling match or anything, my partner just stood there while I tried to make him/her tap. I honestly don't remember the specific instance. I guess I just didn't think about it. Now that I've progressed through the ranks, though, I really wish I had kept track of that sort of stuff--sort of like a martial arts "baby book". Just like babies have first teeth, first words, first walking, etc., I wish I kept track of first belt, first sparring match, first tournament, and yes, first submission. I guess it's too late now 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie Mike Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 The first time I ever tapped someone out was my first day of training & sparring, I got them with a scarfold lock and tapped them, I didn't even know what a scarfold lock was at the time but I accompleshed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three60roundhouse Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 In tae kwon do, we did a lot of standing wrist and arm locks and submissions like that. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu we learned my first submission, the keylock or "americana" from the mount, on the second or third class. I first submitted someone with a basic "X-choke" with the gi, from the closed guard. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!

Kensai Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I think mine was a Nikkyo pin. Took me ages to figure it out, I must have been trying to put it on for about 10 minutes. But now, its on in seconds Mwhahahahaha! Take Care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 The first night that we did grappling I got a submission with a simple front neck choke. My experience with wrestling really gave me an advantage. The tough part is applying the moves that are "illegal" in wrestling. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.

Iron Arahat Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Mine was a rear naked choke. My opponent was on the ground stretched out hiding his face, and holdting his lapel, thinking that way I couldn't choke him.
