being 'the Nail'

        This Sunday’s practice I entered the room to seeing Brian (in the blue-Gi), is the instructor and Tony (in the black-Gi) is one of the students. In these photos they are rolling (or sparring) with eachother...

        Brian has obviously got the upper-hand as the more experienced grappler, but I got my turn on the mat to get thrown around and chocked out by Tony before I had to tap out (several times).

 

I used to wrestle on my highschool team and i have practiced other styles of martial arts, but jujitsu is much more agressive and makes more sense in a way... unlike in wrestling, the round isn’t over once the opponents back is to the mat.

The round continues until one opponent is able to make the other tap-out, and an opponent with pride usually doesn’t want to give up so easy. I would also like to mention, that as I type this (almost 12 hours after the practice), my body is still very sore. But its awesome!

                             "When you start out; you’ll be the nail for awhile before you start to become the hammer" Brian said... This style seems to be very different and yet somewhat similar to the wrestling i used to do back in highschool.
