I think my face is kind of expressive because he lets out a little chuckle - nothing mean, I think it's hard to hold back :) He always comes over to give me a little extra help when he breaks the group up. Thank goodness for a patient instructor. Then bringing it into my game takes a long time. I'm struggling with using the omaplata. <br /><br />My addiction is post workout chocolate milk.

We were discussing this the other night after class and talking about how everything has literally been called by several different names. For instance, one of our instructors has a choke he calls "The $50 Choke" simply because it's the choke he learned from a $50 semi-private with Royce. I would probably call it the "A.P.D. Choke" because it's what he used to consistently choke me after Annoying Post Day (an entire blog unto itself!) I've gotten to where I stop asking about names because it often goes something like this:<br /><br />I get stuck in a technique. I tap.<br />Q: What is that one called?<br />A: I don't know. I just know it isn't supposed to bend that way.<br /><br />To be fair, you'd probably have to go back to Judo or even to the Fusen Ryu techniques that a lot of the modern BJJ techniques originated from...Kharsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653438087040380848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811893258346327939.post-22299103305865520902010-02-03T11:34:59.975-08:002010-02-03T11:34:59.975-08:00I just started BJJ and I'm a little lost...I r...I just started BJJ and I'm a little lost...I recognize a few things from Japanese jiujitsu, but all the techniques seem to have at least three names each!<br /><br />P.S.
