Today I went to Jujitsu training in the Gymnastics gym with about 10 other guys training that day.
Tony (in the Red shirt), is one of the more experience students and is shown in these two photos as he got a less experienced student in a ‘triangle’ lock, which involves wrapping his legs around the guys arm and head and squeezing in till he can breath and has to give up…
Sam (in blue) is on top of another student as he works from the top and tries to get the guys arm and head in a lock and keep him in submission. Sam's a blue belt and has been trianing for several years now.
It may seem easy to see which ones are the more experience grapplers, but a competitor who gets too over confident and charges right into his opponent can very easily find himself arm-bared or chocked out--- as I have found out very quickly in training…
"You go in like a T-Rex” said Brian (the Sunday class instructor)--- meaning you keep your arms close to your body and move in with caution to avoid getting your arms locked and trapped by the opponent.
