Beginner tips!

Definitely everything said was exactly how it should be, No one wants to wrestle around with someone with B.O. either.... It makes it unbearable.
heh

this should be part of every new students info packet !

Thanks Chaz, I printed this out and will give it to my students giving you proper credit of course. You touched on every point..it's great.

that was an excellent article,and i believe that the head choke is the first thing that they teach in the school,and i gotta say yes sometimes its hard cause you keep tapping but i know ill get better in time

thanks chaxx some of this is good imma tell some of this to my students on thursday since there all new and ive basically told them this before but this put it a little better it might help them a lil more when they start to do more with grappling and rollin and stuff thanks!!

Dang good read!

nice one chaz!

We had this one guy on beginners course who brought his ego and headlocks with him... Well, I actually had to give the guy a little lesson once or twice for the safety of others :wink:

Toobad for him, that one of these "lessons" was when we were training G 'n' P :twisted: That prick was going full on against guys half of his size and it was supposed to be REALLY light contact, just to get the idea...
So , I Decided to pair up with the guy and just told him, that he's the one setting up the pace and I take what he gives and return the favour...

When he started in my guard... tried to smash me through the floor! Swept him. Gave him few punches. Passed the guard. Strikes from sidemount. Got the mount and slapped that bitch few times.

When the round ended I just got up and asked him: " Isn't it fun to train technique while the other guy tries to knock you out?"

And all this with a smile :D

Awesome article Chaz, so many of those hit on subjects I fell victim to when I started training. I have been out of it for about a year and a half now and planning on getting back at it, and I promise I won't be the same after reading.

i agree very good advise and thank you i will remember this espicially since i started only 4 months ago

its funny iv never read this stuff before till today.but through out the years iv been being tought this everything i read weather some one told it to me or just by picking it up.chaz you all ways told me to relax and that i have time.and with that it tought me a hole new meaning of life and goals long term.its amazing how a few words from a credible person and a love for something could give a guy like me a direction.mma and grappling has given me what iv been i guess searching for my whole life.every time i role or sparr hurt or not its like a trip to disneyland.thanks chaz your THE great teacher.
