Paul, we roll tonight. I understand what you are saying. Personally, when I roll, my aim has always been to position myself to strike. That is my interest, and that is how the guy that gave me my first exposure to BJJ did it. The only times that I have been going for submissions is when I think the guy really wraps it up and gives it to me. Of course, this is probably like this for now, because my subs need alot of work, and I am still playing my position and escape game right now. Thanks for the tips.
Athom, I wish we had more tournaments down here in Hawaii. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot at a no gi competition. Although I'd probably be sent home with my arm in a pretzel.
We see tonight, guys.

The grappling arts imply most fights end up on the ground. The striking arts imply all fights start standing up. The clinching arts imply the clinch can stop the striker from striking, and the grappler from taking it to the ground. The weapon arts imply the they can stop the unarmed man. A complete martial art implies any fight can go anywhere...be ready and able to go everywhere. |
