Another substitute. Hmmm.....National martial arts instructors day off?  Nah.

I shouldn't have even gone tonight; my lower legs are killing me and I will definitely have to talk to the BJJ instructor.

Tonight we practiced two ways to escape if someone grabs your leg as you try to kick them. We also did some point sparring. We had a fun time.

As I drove home I realized

I've been a white belt for............1 day.

I've been a purple belt for...........1 week.

I've been a blue belt for .............1 year.

I GUESS GOOD THINGS REALLY DO COME IN THREES!

When Joe came home, I tried out the 12 angles from this morning because while we might have done the basic motions of the 'brush, grab, strike' with sticks, and I remember seeing some of the angles (1, 2, 5, 7?? Some where introduced during a knife drill I think), this is new to me. I think it went well; if anything went wrong it will be angles 2, 4, and I'd be close. I also remembered all the angles, yay!  I also went over the motions of the BJJ briefly. I think I was wrong with my notes yesterday. There is no way I can snake my arm through their arm and grab their triceps. Which one snakes under? I'm trying to remember where I was in the room when I did this. Probably mount escape a.
