Exactly. This isn't the dark ages.
He temporarily was a security guard.
Apparently, it cut into his "do nothing" time.

I'm meeting Jackson in Crawfordsville for lunch and an afternoon working session on the finer points of the bow and arrow choke and the Peruvian necktie. Kind of depends on what rhino's wearing when we find him. Chez, you in?

In as long as Rhino and Jackson are the only ones suffering any discomfort.
Also, is it odd that I now notice what people are wearing and think how easily I could choke the **** out of them with it if I needed to?
Yes.
My, what sturdy looking suspenders you're wearing...
Now I have to be ready to cut my own suspenders
That will end well...
I know nothing of BJ...J, but I do know a lot about failure. There is no better teacher than failure when combined with the determination to improve. Failure forces you to analyze what you did wrong and try new things to get it right until you do. Success is awesome, but most people don't question why they succeeded, so it's not a good impetus for improvement.
That second "j" is critical... Without it, the chokes are infinitely more degrading.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!That second "j" is critical... Without it, the chokes are infinitely more degrading.
Chez, I'm right there with you. Yesterday was class #10 and I finally feel like I'm starting to at least understand it and think through it. I repeatedly lose to everyone while sparring, though. I'll try to move to a different position and will immediately regret my decision as I get caught in something. The times I'm able to luck into a good position I usually have no idea what to do with it. At this point I'm doing more wrestling than BJJ simply because I don't have enough tools to go to yet. With that said, I really enjoy it. Although I'm still clueless I have learned a lot in a short time that I don't think most people outside of BJJ would know or have experienced. The simplest things about balance and position and control have been light bulbs popping on for me. I really would recommend starting BJJ for anyone reading this thread and hesitating. It's fun, it's a great workout, and everyone I've met has been really nice and super helpful.
