His game is completely different than our other instructors. It has a little extra spice to it. ;)<br /><br />And Slideyfoot, yeah it definitely was a warm up to remember! But, usually our warm ups do consist of BJJ specific exercises like "yes, no, maybies" and hip-outs. This past Saturday was more of an object lesson, I think. There are a few people in our class who are sort of gunning for submissions. You know, getting their egos up and stuff and I think Mario was using this as a team building exercise. Whatever his reasoning, it was a cool experience. I'd never actually tried to punch anyone before. ;)A.D.

Fitness should come from sparring and drilling, specific to BJJ, rather than things like push-ups or whatever.slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006145854650996821.post-26651881789296909082009-10-25T17:12:49.998-07:002009-10-25T17:12:49.998-07:00I am so glad that Tim is not a Marine. :oI am so glad that Tim is not a Marine. :olesliehttp://bjjgrrl.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
