Most of the time I cant figure out why everyone does not train. I mean there are health benefits, it is a great way to meet amazing people from a broad range of backgrounds, and you get increased confidence in being able protect yourself and your loved ones. Then I see a picture like this and it hits me – most of the time we are training we do kind of look ridiculous.
In this picture we were screwing around working on techniques off of a leg bar. Mr Sellon has longer legs than I do and gets this sweet hook with his inside leg and then proceeds to do his best to prevent me from being able to father children. Ever. That or he is practicing for thanks giving and making a wish.
It seems I can counter if I pop his hooking foot, and then spinning out, but wit the ankle lock on it makes timing tricky. In the real world he would break my ankle before I pulled off the counter. I think I need to ask Sensei how to get out of this one.
