I just started with submission grappling a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it. I wrestled in college and hs so I'm not completely clueless, I can at least take people down and I do alright at defending submissions. I'm also taking up kickboxing at the same place. Anybody else here only do wrestling for a long time then try to pick up submission grappling or bjj? Hows it workin out for ya?

Be careful not to be guillotined!

Don't post your arms or they will get broken.

I'm getting the hang of it. I still get caught with stupid stuff like the occasional guillotine. There might be a tournament sometime around oct, so I may try that out.

How do you like kickboxing, I was thinking of starting??

[Tim Goodwin]

The kickboxing is fun. It's a good workout. The place I'm at might not have the most skilled people, but I think it's a good start. Plus it's the only place in the area w/ this kind of training.

there is nuthin stupid bout da guillotine! esp. the one that catches u.
respect it.

I def respect it. Its just stupid bc it feels like something i should know how to avoid. I'm getting better now though. I feel like i can control people fairly well when i get to the ground and i can take down almost everybody at my school.
