Today i tried out a free BJJ lesson. Once making it through the warm up with out puking, it got a bit better. We did some spider thing, were u flip the go over or somthing and some other things for about 40 min. The rest of the time was spent doing NHB style sparring in this huge boxing ring. I think I did fairly well considering I'm that only 16 compared to all the other guys who are practically body builders. I handled their boxing/karate without much difficulty, but then before i know it my legs were getting picked up from under me. It's so fast. After a while i got the hang of staying right in close(that's the WC way anyway....) and as soon as they start to go down go into a rugby style rucking postition to help yourself stay up. But if you let the guy move around he'll just coming flying in the second your off gaurd. But once on the ground I'm helpless. Think I'll keep going, the free sparring alone makes it worth while.
