Another BJJ testing coming up - 04/25/08 10:47 AM
Greetings!
I have another BJJ testing (possibly) coming up next Thursday (5/1/08) - this one for my 2nd stripe on my white belt. I posted back in Jan after my first testing, and some of you wanted to know what was involved.
This time around I have to know: three escapes each from side control, crossbody, and knee-on-belly positions; two new sweeps from the guard; three submissions from the guard (guillotine, triangle, and triangle to armbar); four submissions from knee-on-belly and crossbody; a lock-flow from the kimura position; and some self-defense from the grounded position with a standing opponent (kicks, sweeps, and standing safely while keeping your base). Then, of course, sparring
I am a bit nervous, as I only can get in the gym once weekly. My instructor has approached me about maybe testing me in a couple months instead of next week, but I told him that it is really up to him - if he thinks I need to wait, I will, but I am willing to give it a go if he will let me. I have been through all the material, and know most of it pretty well. I am getting together with a training buddy Sunday AM at his house to review for a couple hours. Hopefully I will be ready on Thursday.
Thanks for letting me share. I will keep you all posted.
Peace,
Mike
