Then we switched, he was on full mount, and told me to get him off. I tried for about 2 or 3 minutes, at this time I am dying, and couldn't get him off of me.
After that first lesson, I was hooked for life. I can't wait for class tomorrow.  |
My first class was spent primarily doing shoulder rolls and shrimping. Okay not really, but damn near.
First things we were taught included Upa, escape from side mount (SHRIMP!) and basic scissors sweep from closed guard.
My instructor is Brazilian and speaks very little English, with his accent it sounds like he's always yelling "SHREMP!".
