Got pwned in grappling yesterday

As I said before, we do some grappling in my school, but yesterday was not my day. You see on thursday the classes are free, you can train in whatever you want, so I asked that we do a little grappling, unfortunaly for me the only 2 guys of my level are not the kind of person I should grapple in the street. See one is a clone of Kareem Abdul Jabar and the other one weight 60lbs more than me (I'm 140lbs btw). No need to say that when we started doing free grappling I got owned...

Then the instructor came and told us that a grappling position is not a good situation for a FSD student and that the school emphasized more on getting out of that range than trying submitting the opponent.

So here I am, asking you this... what is your plan A when you are in a grappling situation: keeping it in that range or trying to get out? And please feel free to give me personnal advices ( little info I'm 140lbs 5'7" not super strong but good stamina + my leg work on the groung sucks)

Hi TKD,
I think that is the old name for GreenHornet. He eventually went and trained at GAMMA and now does BJJ and MT.

My master is better than me
This I know
Cuz he constantly tells me so
My little mind to him belongs
I am weak, but he is strong

Every body sing!

only half true: I dont train at GAMMA...

Corvus, most of us have been there, so put down that crow. It takes balls to take an objective look at things.

I am very curious to hear about what opened your eyes.

Been there, done that, but in my case I had to eat some knuckle sandwiched from a MT beginner before realizing Wing Chun sucks. Count yourself lucky you only got subbed.

But please, do tell us your story.

Anyone else having a hard time finding the FSD Sordid History thread. It seems to have disappeared and the search function won't locate it, but it will find this one??

LOL at CR you reminded me of:

I believe that constant practice in the art of Wing Chun will enable me to transend to a higher mental and physical level,
I will show respect for the art, my Sifu, Sihings and Sidhis,
I shall excercise my utmost tolerance and respect for people and general matters in and outside of the Academy

Now chant that at a monotone at the end of every workout, and you too are training the "Real" Wing Chun.

I will obey the tenants of TKD
I will respect my instructor and seniors
I will never misuse TKD
I will be a champion of freedom and justice

I always wondered when I was going to be taught something that would help me with the last two items. You know something really kick ass that would be only applicable to world saving stuff. I mean a gogoplata is pretty cool and all but I don't quite think it comes with the same restrictions that a jumping back kick does.

"Has anyone seen Sijo's matching purse?"

[Askari]

Cults like Fang Shen Do must create an incredibly good sense of belonging that satisfies a need in people to feel part of something bigger then they are.

In a world where we interact over computers and watch lots of TV, this has a draw to it that must be overwhelming.

Then you realize you've dumped $10,000 and all you got was the lousy T-shirt.

PS; those snazzy uniforms are really growing on me.

PPS; Say what you will about Fang Shen Do but I have to say that red dragon logo is a great logo. Non of you can argue with that logo.

You know it kind of looks like a salamander with reindeer horns!

"Seriously people, we can't start the seminar till someone finds Sijo's purse!"

TKD, his purse is behind the bucket of dog poo! Now can we begin...

[Askari]

Now that we have found the silk purse made from the sows ear.

Red Dragon, you've got to put the Red Dragon logo in as your avatar.
