Taps #3 & #4

Belt: White

At class #10, two months into my Bjj journey. I rolled with Purple Jack. He gets me in a triangle. I escape. He gets me in another triangle, and I've got my trapped front arm on his neck, and we have to restart because we're too close to some others rolling nearby.

When we restart, his triangle is a little tighter and I can't quite get my escape in time. Tap #3. And I've been thinking since that class ended, maybe I could have gotten a choke with my forearm on his neck and stacking him with my other hand on his belt. Hmmn. Maybe. Is that possible? A choke when you're caught in a triangle?

Same class, and I roll with new guy, Blue Scott. He's got Samba experience and skills, and he's a Blue, and he trains MMA. I trap his knees and try to pass but my heads up there near him and he goes for a Guillotine choke, which I escape improperly, luckily.

He gets me in an arm bar from his guard; I escape. He gets my mount, goes for a choke, then transitions into an arm bar and I can't quite remember the second half of the escape. I tap. Tap #4.
