First roll with a black belt
I’ve had some good training over the past month or so despite taking a week off because of the flu. Wednesday night I rolled with my black belt instructor for the first time. He toyed with me for a couple of minutes while I tried to pass his guard. He pulled a sweep I’ve never seen before and ended up in mount. It only took a couple of seconds before he cross-collar choked me. It was a lot of fun though.
I’m currently sitting at Big John McCarthy’s gym waiting for a tournament to start. I decided to come at the last minute and drove up by myself this morning. I’ll be sure to post my result later. It’s a gi competition today and I am far less experienced with a gi but as I said before, what do I have to lose?
We are having a tournament at our gym next weekend so I hope this is some good prep to let me know what I need to work on this week.
