my 1st day
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
If you roll for 5 minutes with someone with decent experience. You will be tapped non stop. My advice to you is not to try and muscle any submissions on the first few days. You will hurt your training partner by cranking way to hard when they arent going as hard as you are. Tap to all leg, knee, foot locks right away. If you think you have someone in the gullioutine, but they are in your half guard....Just let the choke go. YOu will not submit them....You will however crank there neck and they will hate you forever for it =)
Have fun!

goodcall on the leg, knee and foot locks. You won't know you snapped something until its too late.
Thats good ur first day went well.
I had my first day of Jiu-Jitsu on Monday.
It is so much fun, I did wrestling in High School and it is cool to be on your back and know that you can do a lot from there.
I also did Muay Thai on Tuesday?
That is awesome.
Muay Thai is a hell of a workout.
I was talking to the owner of the gym and he invited me to work out with him in the kickboxing class next week. He also teaches a fitness class using martial arts techinques that i did as well. I am loving Judo though! I think that has to be my favorite part of the class!

Nothing like throwin' someone over the old shoulder :mrgreen:
I just had my 1st day of gi-jiujitsu, and it was fun as heck. I was nervous that I'd look like I didn't belong, but I was able to hang pretty well from my no-gi experience.
Just 1 question tho -
Now my knees are all banged up. Not only is one knee bruised but I have some cuts/scrapes on both my knees and feet from rolling on the mats. I want to wait until they heal to train again because I am DEATHLY afraid of getting STAPH infection again.
Do you guys wear kneepads underneath the gi's, or does everyone but me just have super leathery skin which doesn't open up scrapes/cuts?

I wear pads underneath for sure. I had the same problem you did and I won't roll without them now. I bought some Asics rasslin' knee pads at the Sports Authority. They work real well.

I have not seen anyone ever wear knee pads! Why would you wear knee pads? What are you rolling on? Glass?

They're called Gi burns and bruises dude. Call me a wuss but they can get annoying for someone with knobby knees like myself. The more annoying minor injuries I can prevent, the better. I'm not talking about the big puffy volleyball knee pads either. Rasslin' knee pads are pretty thin but still provide pretty good impact protection.

When we practice our take downs a lot of guys wear knee pads in my gym. The only thing I do is wrap a layer of athletic tape around my big toe or I get a mean blister/rug burn when doing the take down drills.
If you wrestle long enough your knees will be so calloused that you won't need the knee pads anymore LOL.
Wrestling knee pads were made to prevent mat burn on the knees, not for protection. if you want to prevent staph get anti-bacterial soap and wash your cuts and scrapes every night. you can also get Defense wipes and take them with you to the gym so you can clean them immediately after training. they are good if you have a long drive home after.
But seriously you guys should see my toes and knees they are like gator skin LOL
