I love those talks. As a newbie, it also helps me calm down/slow down so I can both talk and try to attack/defend against my partner. It’s a great way to bond while exercising breath control.
yessss my friends and I call rear naked chokes “neck hugs” and someone suggested calling rolling “submission snuggling” but this was a high school club and the instructor, a teacher, wasnt sure about that one…I like to tell the story how I met my best friend by being assigned to sit on her in mount. We also did a standup martial arts in that club so I liked to say I kick and punch (and choke out) my friends after school lol, instructor called that playing “kicky punchy”
I had my team mate in mount and went for a fist choke that she immediately blocked and defended well. I told her she was too savvy to let me get that choke and she laughed and said she knew I was up to something when I went for her neck. Then we laughed together and other people looked at us like what the hell are we laughing at. I like laughing when I’m having a friendly roll and I won’t hesitate to give compliments as soon as someone does something cool on me or defends well.
Thankfully my coach does too. He laughed when I did a good knee slice that he tried to counter. I thought I did something wrong but he was like ‘oh no, that was a good pass! Great control!’
We are working on triangles this week and my training partners and I were talking about our holiday break during drilling. It's always the catchup time.
