A young man, a fellow blue belt, said I would be deadly in my Nogi competition. That definitely put a pep in my step.
I may or may not have accidentally cut a rolling partner of mine while rolling. He’s fine.
To switch things up today, our head instructor divided the mat into weight classes. So we got a chance to have rolls against people who are around the same weight. I didn’t ask, but I think he did that because there’s a few competitions coming up and it may have been a way for people who are competing to get a feel of what they’re in for. After the head instructor left, I slid over to the other side so I could roll with heavier people because I like a challenge.
I got caught and submitted in a guillotine by a purple belt and I got caught and submitted in a nasty rear naked choke. I think I lean in with my head too much sometimes. I’ve mentioned this before but it’s another bad habit, leaning in with my head, from my wrestling days.
I rolled with a white belt. He was about 10 pounds heavier. He had good wrestling. It was a tough roll. If he keeps up with bjj, he’s gonna be hard to beat. Come to think of it, there aren’t many rolls these days that come easy, even if they are white belts.
There and Back
