Last night was my second day at class and again I walked out of there with a smile. We did escapes from somebody grabbing your wrists. I'm finding that I am kind of lost doing the moves because it's really quick. My partner was a little lost too so that didn't help, but we did try and did come up with a few things. It seems like a lot of this stuff is based on what comes naturally. For the last half hour we learned a bit about ground fighting. I know what it means to be in somebody's gaurd and what to do in there and what to do when you have somebody in your gaurd. Basically how to get out of it. They also taught us one submission from the bottom which is pretty simple. I also did kind of roll around with the sensei for a bit from the gaurd position. I survived longer than expected and he made me tap. Speaking of tapping, the feeling of having to tap is very interesting. The move doesn't hurt initially but you know if you don't tap somethign will break. If somebody bends your finger there's a sharp pain and you react by pulling away. Well from what I've felt when somebody has you in a submission there's not that sharp pain, you're locked in and realize there's nothing you can do until it breaks.
