Hello BJJquest,

Thanks and congrats on starting your new blog.

Yeah, stop by and check it out, it’s a laid back atmosphere but I always learn a lot and have a challenging workout.

Our instructor, Smiley, is a pretty big guy, I don’t know how tall he is, but he’s over 6 ft and he’s about 270 (no flab).

Wow! that was amazing especially the last girl, I’ve never seen an armbar like that before!

Trey, are you serious? It sounds like you’re training with macho shitheads. I’ve had blood sucked out of my ears due to cauliflower ear and I wear headgear every time they start to feel sore again. I also wear a mouth guard during live rolling, but not usually for class.

At my gym, we always assume someone has a reason for wearing any kind of gear. I think that’s the right way to go.

I agree. Pacing has saved me many times.

One of the things that bothers me most about losing energy while grappling is that I can see or feel what they guy is trying to do, but I am too tired to stop it. It is not a problem with ‘wind’ but muscle endurance for me. Yet, I know as long as I keep going it will increase.

That visit to Baltimore BJJ should be cool. If you go, I’ll look forward to reading about it.

Sounds like a good class. It’s funny how things work sometimes. I’m going through something similar right now. We’re doing really long stretches of up to 20 or 25 minutes per match. While endurance is definitely a big part of it, I’m really starting to discover pacing and combinations. I tend to be unwilling to give up a deep triangle or armbar, and will spend a lot of energy fighting for the submission. But in long matches, I’m really learning to pace myself and flow more, transitioning through combinations. It’s made a big difference for me.

As for training in other schools, I’m looking forward to a business trip out to Baltimore. I think I’ll have at least one evening to drop in at Baltimore BJJ.

I haven’t had something like that happen in a while and usually it just a ding and I can keep rolling, so I can understand the hesitation.

However, I like my teeth and would prefer not having non surgical nose alterations, so from now on safety is the key for me.
