BJJ

BJJ (Brazilian jujitsu) yesterday was just insane!
It was my FIRST actual grapple and its was an INTENSE experience.
I was training with my brother in law and I was completely exhausted by the end of the round.


He set the clock for 3 mins, but when it rang, we just went on.
About 3 mins later after that, he had caught me in a triangle choke and I tapped out.
I practically gave him the choke though, I pretty much ran into it.
That shows how much lack of experience I have.


For those who dont know, heres a little intro into what the heck BJJ is, or at least how I got choked out.


I started off in this position, im supposed to be the topless one.

Some how my bro got me into this position

And heres where I dived right into him pushing his leg back thinking it would give me a chance to escape. Turns out that practically sealed my "fate".
And here we have the completed triangle and a very painful method of being choked out.
Do note that as much as it looks like wrestling, they are totally differnt stuff well not totally, but quite a fair bit different.

For those who dont know, I kinda busted my knee a little yesterday during the session and am limping/ was limping about a bit.
Well, its recovered quite a bit after resting a whole day at home so I think I should be ready in time for Ippt on Saturday.
Hopefully that is, lol.
