My favorite submissions

I have pinpointed my favorite submissions. You would think that I would have known myself which ones where my favorite, but I had to hear someone else say that I always go for these two submissions no matter what. So the first one is the Ezekiel, one of the sneakiest chokes that BJJ has. All I do is get some kind of dominant position outside of the guard and then act like I am resting for a second, all the while I am positioning one hand behind the head and grabbing my sleeve. Then once I have the sleeve from the other hand I spin my free hand around the neck hopefully quick enough for them to not block it. Works more then any one would think, just have to be quick with the last part. I almost tapped out a blue belt with it just recently, his face was bright red, but since he was a blue belt he knew how to make me let go or get my fingers broken. Then he immediately got me in an arm bar, the guy is really good so I am not bummed about losing that submission. My next favorite submission is the Kimora. If I have side control I immediately go for it. I do not always have it but it makes my opponent defend that arm giving me enough space to either get full mount or position his arm for a really quick and easy armbar.

Bruised

So I feel like I have stamina again. I have noticed that I am able to go the whole time without needing a break as opposed to when I went back after a three week hiatus. I am rolling allot harder as well, and the ton of new bruises on my body are the evidence. I have been going to Brazilian jiu jitsu on and off for a year, honestly about four months with two years in between, and have never been as bruised as I am at this present moment. There is a bruise on my bicep that was already blue by the time I got home, but chicks dig it right? The warm ups are not killing me anymore which is good, I still am unable to do a shoulder roll properly. It is probably what will save my face from being smashed into the ground and I cant even do it. I am going to keep doing them until I have it down. I am going to try the whole Gatorade three process thing on Monday, if it works I will keep taking them, it is really expensive though. I think the pre workout was two something, then the Gatorade itself was almost a dollar, and then there is the post work workout drink that was two something as well. I have been drinking a gallon of water every night at work, so I wouldn't think that dehydration would be a problem. However this past Friday I went to class and my mouth instantly became dry, I had to constantly get a quick drink of water to keep my mouth moist, also my lips became chapped. Weird I guess, maybe my body was just used to all that water so it was asking for some more. On a good note I have lost fifteen pounds since I started, ten pounds since I started taking some kind of pill that is supposed to help with weight lose.
