Jiu jitsu x 120 min
60 min of drills from knees
60 min of live rolling:
First time rolling live with submissions. Fitness level is fine and I survived quite a while but ended up tapping about 10 times from other gold belts. Our instructor, who is a black belt came over to pop my cherry and gave me a good natured ass whooping as a welcome.
They said I moved well and was big and fast, yet didn't know the technique well enough yet to execute any submissions or chokes fast enough to work in a live rolling situation. I can do them well in drilling situations but I have not acclimated to the speed of going live yet.
Our school treats the white belt as a period of time to see if you are truly dedicated to training. You are only allowed to drill and do some light positional wrestling. You can advance to gold belt through putting in your time (approx 6 months) or you can test out, which I did. The sport is addicting and the thinking and strategy aspect of it really is appealing to me.
Notes:
Neck is sore from getting choked out so many times.
Weight: 205#
Time doing jiu jitsu: 2 months
