BJJ week

This last week has been a great week. Lots of learning. The advantages of training at an mma gym like Phuket top team, rather than a full muay thai gym have been pretty clear this week. While letting my feet heal up I have jumped straight into the Brazilian jiu jitsu classes.
The first class of bjj I did was super tough, sparring at the end of the class absolutely nailed me. If it had gone for one more round I would have lost my breakfast...
During the week the class numbers seemed to thin out quite alot, to the point were for two sessions it was just me and the coach, Sheeha. Sheeha is a Norwegian dude who is filling in as bjj coach just for a couple of weeks while the usual guy is away... As a beginner having the coach all to myself was a dream, I was able to grill him on all the little basic things that I want to learn. I told Sheeha that I often end up with side control but I dont really know what to do from there, so he taught me a few submission and drilled them with me for long enough that i could do it with out instruction. He also spent time teaching me how to arm bar and triangle choke from guard, and again drilled it with me at least twenty times. After we would have a spar and for me it's mostly just wrestling at this stage, but every now and then I would get the chance to try and lock on a submission I had just learnt and it would feel so satisfying......
Well big week, this week
