MMA or NHB fighting - 03/31/05 08:18 PM
Alright I'm starting this thread to hear some stories of either MMA events (that you have witnessed or participated in) or Training.
Training:
Last week I was sparring with one of my sparring partners (who is more freestyle fighting than anything) I was concentrating on my ground game so I wasn't allowed to throw ANY strikes (which is hard for me) Well That means I took a few jabs, nothing serious. I got into the insideand grabbed him by the hips with my neck in his armpit, performed my sweep and got him on the ground. And just my luck too, we landed with me in the PERFECT side mount.
He still had my head pinned, but I was tight to him so he couldn't do much with it, no play at all between us. I had to distract him, so I landed a couple hard elbows to his gut, which got him trying to scwirm and lift me off of him. PERFECT!!! My head is free and so is his arm, I grabbed him by the wrist TIGHT (and at this point he thinks I'm trying to get into the mount) I slip my right arm under his left and BAM Kimura, he was doing the tap dance with his hand!!
We took a rest and I taught him the kimura so he wouldn't get caught with it so easily next time.
Round two was alot of the same,took a kick to my leg and side, got him down with the sweep BUT thi time, he wasn't going to let me get the kimura (good, I'm thinking, I've improved his game so now he can help me more with mine) I gave him a shot to the head, then an elbow to the gut. He was pounding on me some hard at this point! I had to do something. so I went forward as if to go for the Kimura again but this time I was sneaky, I went alittle TOO far and took my left leg over his body SNAGGING the full mount!! WOOT WOOT That was easy and nicely done! Now he's prepparing to block some blows from above, so I reach up to give him a blast and what does he do?? He prepares for the blow!!! sticking his right arm out too far!!!
Time freeze: for those of you who don't know subs that well, he just invited me to give him an armbar!!!!!!!!!
I take his wrist, quickly whip my right leg over him and BAM tap city again!! I was in my glory!
Thrid go at the guantlet, This time he's learned my sweep, so I have to try a shoot. Which is in-effective, he got out of the takedown and then got behind me, kick to the rear of the knee and I am forced to the ground....with him on top, not a place where I want to be.
Re-cap: I went for a takedown and he ended up behind me, forced me onto the ground and now he has my back so guess what comes next.....
REAR NAKED CHOKE!!!! Fortunately for me, he was too excited to get it in nice and tight, BUT I did coach him into sinking it in deeper and actually making me tap. Good for him, he learned and I learned good experience!!
