First time you rolled with someone..

[James Bell]

My first jiu jitsu roll with someone was after weeks of instruction vids and practicing techniques and tendon streching for flexibility a little more than I had when I started it was after my second session of wrestling and I was going against my wrestling buddy and I let him take me down and shot straight for spider guard and failed miserably as he passed it during my slow ass set up of it and he got to side I turned and fought to butterfly guard down and then he stood up and I slid to a perfect x guard and I streched him out and rolled over keeping a hold of the leg and pulling off a kneebar where he tapped but to his defense he thought he knew juijitsu because he watched UFC and wrestled but I had horrible slow technique by that point bu I'm happy to see how far I've come

shit season of wrestling

first time i rolled i did ok, at first, i used all my strengthand wore my self out. by my second match i was just getting caught in bad positions mount side control arm bars you name it.

If you learned nothing, you weren't paying attention. Every time I tap I learn something. At the very least you learned how to tap.

It's good for you homie. Every tap is a learning process. Rather than looking at it as defeat, look at it as a learning process.

Thanks bro. thats a good point

I only knew the kimura and americana. I knew what a guillotine was but didn't have the technique at all. The people i rolled with the first night were nice to me (read; not brutal) but i still got caught repeatedly. Whatever the position i ended up in, i remember thinking, "Ok, i have no idea what to do now."

I was lucky, another white belt, around my size, he had a little more experience, I held my own and nearly had an arm bar.

I missed the point of the thread last night. LOL.

My first roll I believe was with Sarkis. He could easily break me in half. But he went easy on me. Everyone went easy on me, actually. I tapped a lot. Had no gas. Sucking air. I think the exhaustion sucked worse than tapping. LOL. I like rolling with the vets at my school. They teach me while whoopin my ass. LMAO. Damn, I missed rolling last night. Punk ass flu.

I still have moments. I'll hit a sweep, get on top and be like.....uuuuuuuh what do I go for now? lol. Like Scott told me, I have to flow more. I hesitate a LOT.
