i'd call a 'pump' a 'bridge' by your description of what you're doing but my terminology is mostly based on wrestling...took me a while to figure out what a bjj guy meant by 'sweep'
and, good lord, 3 weeks? did I miss it or was a specific injury stated? if the knees are just sore w/ no sharp pain or weakness then get some knee pads, soak em in epsom salts or maybe even some jao and take a day or two off.
I don't know how old you are but age is a factor in healing too, of course.
me, I'm trying to find an exoskeleton to wear....
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"
hahah... yeah... sucks, don't it? My first 4 or 5 wrestling classes I ended up smashing my knees up and bending my toes at all sorts of weird angles. With classes once a week you shouldn't have any trouble healing up between classes... at least I didn't.
Keep at it... I only smash up my knees once in a while now... once your technique improves you'll figure ways of shooting on someone without smashing up your knees
As for the comments about sprawls, I can't imagine why you'd want to do it with your butt out. My wrestling coach referred to the technique as "pee in his ear". In the cage you'd be wearing a metal cup, so when he shoots on you, the idea is to ram that cup as hard as you can into the side of his head. Talk about iron crotch technique!
Royce can choke as many people as he wants. He'll never have a cartoon as cool as Jackie Chan Adventures.
