Let me help you with the whole being in a hurry thing:<br /><br />Next time you find yourself in guard, make the decision to spend the next 240 seconds on JUST getting a deep first hand. That's 4 minutes hun. That's a loooong time. You can be sneaky, get an inch or two, then fiddle with their pant leg with the free hand, pretend to wiggle for a sweep, hug them...all the time you are climbing that first hand half an inch at a time. 240 sec. 1 mississippi, two mississippi, three mississippi. It's a looong time so don't rush. You have no other objectives for the full 240 sec. Do you know why?<br /><br />Because when you're done, that baby is gonna be so dangerous, you'll not need more than 2 more mississippi to finish your choke on the biggest meanest man-neck :)<br /><br />LEt me know how it goes.Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-79863577831103425202010-05-26T14:53:38.288+01:002010-05-26T14:53:38.288+01:00I am one of those people who hasn't learned to...I am one of those people who hasn't learned to sink the choke deep enough. If I don't get that first hand in deep enough, the choke becomes exactly what you described: a muscly tug of war. Me vs. Some Man's Neck. Needless to say, when that happens, I usually can't finish it. <br /><br />Part of the reason I haven't done well at sinking the choke is that I'[m in too much of a hurry. I want to get the choke before they realize what I am doing and defend it. But what good is snatching a choke if you can't finish it?<br /><br />Lately, I've been trying to be sneakier. Go for something else which makes them drop their arm away from their neck. If I get that "something else", great. If not, then I real quick slip my other hand in deep. Then I have to work some more trickery for the other side. Takes longer, but I've actually finished some chokes in the last few weeks so that must count for something. <br /><br />I agree with you about having fewer techniques and more drilling per class. It is cool to see variations of the same concept, but I would rather have the time to really get one move down.A.D.

While I do agree wi...Thanks for the compliments :)<br /><br />While I do agree with you on everything you say, I still feel like anytime we repeat something, even if it's the 30th time since I started jits, that I learn new things. <br /><br />I still feel like a newbie to every single position and move in BJJ, in one way or another.<br /><br />For example, one of my favourite techniques is holding mount. It's something I've been working the past 2 years and it's getting to a nice level. Don't get me wrong, some do escape but after using a hell of a lot of energy compared to the very little I use to keep it.<br /><br />Last year I visited my old Karate club in Gothenburg, and I was showing a couple of things to my friends. This new guy walk up and were chatting. He asks me to show on him. I didn't realise it then but he was a youth-national team member in wrestling in his native Bulgaria. The way that guy did Upa just frikking threw me out, full pun intended. Needless to say, I stayed training Upa and mount retention for about 45 minutes until I figured it out.<br /><br />That's what I love about being a slow learner...it never get's old for me :)Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-82864460577313452542010-05-25T10:35:00.193+01:002010-05-25T10:35:00.193+01:00Oooh like the new gritty header image!
I find the...Oooh like the new gritty header image!<br /><br />I find the best seminars are the ones where the instructor shows very few moves, like Roy's at the weekend or Otavio Sousa last year. These sessions were like 3-4 hours long but covered myabe 4-5 techniques in extreme detail.<br /><br />Money's worth? Most definitely. <br /><br />For day-to-day lessons, about three techniques is about the optimum for me. But then owing to my length of service, at least 2 of those will be ones I've drilled before so those are more revision for me. A newbie may have a different perspective on this.Meerkatsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147715586194844173noreply@blogger.com
