ouch - man-handled again

I went to our traditional class last night.  It's not really that traditional really but we do a lot of judo.  I can't seem to get to the gym before 6:30 so I was about 35 minutes late for class.  When I got there John had the guys working on a guillotine.  The guys that are training at the gym right now are from a different gym, which is transitioning to a new space now, and they all fight.  So the class was no-gi, even though on Tues. it is usually a gi class.

Anyway, when I got there I initially worked with this guy who is really good at judo and that was fun.  Then I worked with another fighter, which was alright but I was learning a new technique and he was giving a lot of resistance even though we were supposed to just be drilling.  It was pretty frustrating.  We were doing a throw off a failed guillotine.  It was pretty sweet, although I almost never end up in this position.

We rolled for about 3 rounds.  The first couple of rounds went alright.  I rolled with some pretty inexperienced guys so I got to work on a few things, like sweeps.  Then I ended up rolling with a guy that was definitely more experienced than me and of course a lot stronger.  My shoulder still hurts.  I would have thought that because the guy had some experience and could clearly tell that he was more advanced than I was that he wouldn't feel the need to crank every submission like it was going out of style.  I don't understand why guys feel like that have to get all fucking hard core I mean I tapped almost immediately and he still basically ripped my arm off.  It's just frustrating.

Then I went over to brazil academy and did jiujitsu.  The regular instructor is in brazil right now so a brown belt taught class.  It was cool because we got to drill a bunch of armbars and no one likes drilling armbars more than me.  I think armbars will end up being my go to move.

We rolled 3 rounds in that class also.  I got to roll with another female blue belt, which is nice because we are similar sized and experience.  Then I rolled with Ninja, he's a purple belt and he's really technical.  Finally, I rolled with a new guy, which I was really nervous about.  He wasn't all spastic, I was so relieved.
