I have 3 but two of them came from Coach Herzog. The first one was when I was in TX, I had a little over a year in and thought I was decent. Then comes Johnny Ho from 10P San Fran(blue belt at the time), he toyed with me like I had never been on the mats. I wanted to quit, I was seriously pissed for a couple weeks at myself (slow learner) then it hit me ,the experience and knowledge gained from that one roll was exponential. The next two are hard to describe. Anyone that has ever rolled with Coach understands. I have never experienced such an amazing combination of strength, speed, cat like agility, technique, and holy fuck the pressure. The first time I rolled with Coach he just played with me and I couldn't even get out of his guard. The second time was after he promoted me to blue belt. He got me with a duda that I literally thought my arm was gonna break before I could tap. I swear it lasted 5 minutes but it's literally a few seconds on video. My arm hurt for more than a week. He then proceeded to split me in half with an inverted crotch ripper(joey shoulda tapped when it was done to him). Lastly oh the good shit, he slapped on a north/south choke that due to the amount of pressure made my body levitate, I'm talkin fucking exorcist shit lol. I've rolled with various ranked people up to 3rd degree black belt outside of 10thP that in my mind are not even in the same solar system as Coach
The real crazy part is when Coach rolled with a Black Belt. I wish I had video of it to show. I have never witnessed such total domination of a black belt. It's honestly hard to explain but if any of y'all have seen the vid of Andre Galvao playing with another blackbelt at a tourney it was like that but in a Coach way. I can't remember exactly but Coach tapped him 3 or 4 times in 5 minutes. Got him with a triangle in about the first 15 seconds, it was awesome! He destroyed him and broke his spirit all from his guard. Kinda like when Bane whoops batmans ass lol. Coach Herzog=Baddest Motherfucker I know! True Fuckn Story December 2011 in Tampa FL
