.. at Joe Stevensons cobra kai in victorville. It was pretty awesome. Starting doing some basic moves.I did manage to secure an anaconda choke when we were rolling at the end which felt pretty good.I learned anaconda and the p. necktie in my guest class in another gym so i did know 2 moves actually. Anyway really looking forward to learning some new stuff.
Keep in mind...right now Marcelo had to go to Vegas to teach for Robert Drysdale for a couple of weeks. Marcelo is almost always in class and it's unfortunate that he went to help out Robert just before you had your first class. Alex is a purple belt teaching the classes in his absence. Alex does a great job. Marcelo is amazing though and you won't want to miss his classes in a few weeks. :)
Glad you had a good time.
Joe
Yeah alex seems like a cool dood and he did a good job. I'll be signing up here in the next week or so. I watched videos on techniques all night hahahah

Ryan,
Say hi if you see me in class sometime. I'm a 2 stripe purple belt...tall white guy. I haven't been in class a lot recently, but trying to get back in shape. :P
Joe
Hey Joe i will. I think im going to just try the grappling class for now but that could change by the time i sign up tommorrow. I may sign up gi-jitsu also or kickboxing. Im not famaliar with the color belt ranking how does that go?
You were taught the peruvian necktie in your first class???
no that was a guest class at other gym locally.
Like I said, you were taught the peruvian necktie in your first class... VERY irresponsible.
Congrats on getting on the mats.
LOL at peruvian neck tie for beginners... what was the guy thinking?

obviously the twister should be first. obviously.
peruvian neck tie is usually 2nd or 3rd class.
well...yeah i guess it was my first class. I thought to myself this cant be a basic technique but it was still fun. I really had no idea what the basic moves in ju-jitsu were. Maybe he was trying to sale me on his gym by teaching me a move like that on the first day as not to bore me?
The gym (cobra kai victorville) i walked into the other day had me do simple moves right off the bat cause it was obvious i had no idea where to begin and that wasnt even the regular instructor so i was sold.

White, blue, purple, brown, black.
You only get ranked doing the gi classes. No rank for no gi. Have fun. When Marcelo is back you will REALLY want to start gi BJJ, it's a whole different world. I much prefer training in the gi.
