I had a minor setback last week, and wasn't able to get through a full BJJ class until today. The wrist was NOT ready and was very angry with me for going back too soon.
However, today I did it. I made it through a whole class. We worked spider guard, which I like to call puppet guard, since what you are doing is making your partner look like a marionette.
I'm still figuring out how to get out of the illegal bicep cutter when I do a spider guard sweep, but overall I'm happy with it. My fingertips, however, are on FIRE. Fire. Lava.
You know why the fingertips of fire are worth it? I got subs tonight more times than I was tapped. And all my subs were armbars. This was the first time, on both fronts. Even better, I felt alive on the mat. Driven, focused, and lethal. I pushed myself to not quit, to try new things, and left everything out there.
Can't wait to get back at it tomorrow.
