leglocker Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I resumed my BJJ training in early February. Since then I was able to defend submissions fine, but I was never able to finish a submission since coming back. At first, I was frustrateduntil one day a friend posted a meme basically saying that most times you're the nail while everyone else is the hammer. I knew it, but it didn't hit me until I saw that meme. My whole outlook on training changed. Instead of letting the frustration get to me, I kept working. I was aware of not getting any subs, but I didn't let it bother me. Today, I was rolling with my partner for 20 minutes straight during which we both threatened, but didn't finish until we scrambled and somehow I wound up with a front headlock, which I then turned into an Anaconda choke. I finally got one.

Gilgamelissa Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Woohoo! Way to go!!I had to look up BJJ - Brazilian jiu-jitsu for other folks not in the know. Looks like fun Quote Gilgamelissarace: wood elf | class: assassinstr 5 | dex 2 | sta 3 | con 3 | wis 0 | cha 0"Mood? What has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises — no matter the mood! Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It's not for fighting." - Frank Herbert, Dune log | introduction | first challenge | second challenge | third challenge (current) Link to comment
