Another open mat session and more sparring.
First up was a much heavier white belt and he nailed a
submission early on when I got sloppy defending a position, but I was pretty solid for most of our time afterwards and I threatened various chokes and arm
locks.
Then I got to spend quite a bit of time rolling no-gi with a
solid purple belt. I got pretty comprehensively ruined but I did catch a lucky foot
lock from a scramble, then I nearly pulled off a wrist lock from an odd position.
No-gi remains
hard work, though, as there’s no go collar or sleeves to grab onto. It’s good
fun, though, so I’ll continue to dabble with it when I get the chance.
Things to remember: Use natural body handles when rolling
no-gi.
