Yesterday at BJJ was a good time, but I am sore! I worked with one of the blue belts and it was good for both of us. He was more experienced so I could learn from what he knew and I was heavier and stronger and he could work on lifting/sweeping a bigger person.. Most of the techniques we practiced were sweeps and sweeps to submissions. So we were flipping on the ground a lot. That's probably why I'm so sore! We also did some triangle drills. Basically, the triangle is a move which stops blood to the brain by constricting the carotid arteries using your legs and your opponent's trapped arm. It's quite effective. So, we decided that once in the triangle, we would not tap until the very last moment of passing out so we could get used to the feeling so we would not panic if we get caught in it later. So, on a number of occasions, I know we each came very close to not tapping.. haha! Couple times after I had tapped, I felt very light headed and the room was....not so bright for a few seconds. ;)
For our sparring, we lined up 3 guys in the center of the mat. The rest were lined up against the wall. Then we went down the line on each of the 3 in the center passing guard/submitting. If you passed their guard, then you stayed in the center and then everyone came to you. If the 2 got to a sticking point where they stopped activly working, they were tapped and a new person would take over. It was fun.
My camera is out of juice and I can't find the charger. Hopefully I'll find it today and I'll get some photos up after tomorrow's BJJ.
