It always feels good when you're a newbie in the game, and you catch someone. Just dont let it go to your head. :P
The first sub is the best feeling.
No one can stop you now!
Absolutely no arrogance here, I know there is so much to learn.
Yeah, you'll get your jiu jitsu high from stuff like that.
I think a good way to keep a level head is to remember, it's not because you're so skilled, but because your teacher taught you well. Pass the props onto your teacher. That way you'll keep a level head.Quote:

My first sub was an americana from Judo side control. Does anyone else want to share theirs?
My first was an arm triangle from the guard.
M'arce with the roll (off the ghost series that Coach Herzog recently posted up).Quote:

I dont remember my first sub, but I remember how awesome it was when I caught a blue belt in a twister. It's happening more and more now also.
Congrats bro! Mine was a redneck guillotine. I've since changed to the marcelotine :)
I honestly have no idea what my first sub was. Probably a guillotine but maybe an Americana .. Either way, congrats on your first sub. Like the others have said, stay humble, thank your instructor, get better. There is somebody waiting to kick your ass right now.
Flying Twister!!! No just kidding. Mine was most probably a guillotine.
Guillotine from a takedown....its just a natural reaction
It's such an addicting feeling! Congrats on your first sub. Now you're hooked ya crackhead! ;)
My first ever was a Peruvian necktie but I don't exactly count that. I was on active duty at Moody AFB and I was in the gym smacking the heavy bag. Dude started chatting me up and asked if I trained at all. I said yeah, but only for like two months. He said he'd been training for years and asked if I wanted to roll. I said sure why not. He shot for what I now recognize as a laughable double leg and BOOM it was right there. Caught him in it again a few minutes later. I decided he was full of more shit than a manure cart and quit rolling with anyone outside of a legit gym.
My first real submission at Roch was Invisible Collar. It's been my absolute favorite ever since and I work on it regularly.
When the doctor delivered me and slapped my ass I consider my first tap. They just kept comin ever since.
Mata laeo toe hold i think :)
Awesome Ryan. Good job! Many more to come I'm sure. My first was an armbar. I didn't know I hurt him either because I didn't know what to expect. Hyperextended my buddies arm. It takes doing that to actually learn not to pull moves to the extreme.
That high that you felt, you know that feeling of dominance? ... You're gonna get that same feeling when you first render a guy unconscious. Just remember you're gonna get humbled too so be ready to tap and live to roll another day.
Rear naked choke.
My first was a really ugly armbar off the back... I was leaning on my hip and my shin (almost upside-down on my stomach) struggling not to lose my balance... and the dude's shoulder was in the air so his arm was at the wrong angle and it wasn't completely straight either... I still have no idea how I got him to tap. Definitely not repeatable lol.
Oh, and greetings to the 10th planet family, definitely my favorite system. Oss.
