... for once. hehe
Normally when someone gets me into a solid side control, it forces the air out of my lungs, and crushes my rib cage. It sucks, but I suck it up and keep on going. Good side control hurts, I have accepted that.
Tonight, I made a male blue belt who is bigger then me, groan that same groan I do when someone gets me in a tight side control.
I popped off, thinking I had accidentally hurt him in some way. He laughed at me, and said, "No, your side control is tight, you are crushing me a little."
Granted, I only had him in side control because he let me have a pity guard pass, but still... baby steps, baby steps... I will take my minuscule, little, tight side control victory.
Awesome!! Baby steps all the way to black belt...in 20 years. lol :) But in all seriousness, I have seen a big improvement in your overall control during grappling. Good job Stephers!
