I submitted a black belt. Holy shit. It was with a cross collar choke from the back. I remember him saying oh shit right when I got a grip on the cross collar and put my other hand in like a half-Nelson-type grip/position. We weren’t going really hard, that’s actually one of the reasons I enjoy sparring with him. But it was definitely the top highlight in jiu jitsu of the last year I’ve been grappling.
I can’t stress this enough: grip fighting is Jiu jitsu. Always start there! And never stop practicing it!
Only went twice this month so far but rolled pretty well. My endurance and cardio are crap but hey it’s winter time and I got a bit of a belly.
And I also heard Mikey Musumeci is learning wrestling from Dagestanis? I’ll believe it when I see it.
