Orginal Post: bamboo: Last night starting from half gaurd I was tapped 6 times in row in an arm triangle from the exact same setup. Each time I watchedit happen as if I was not a real particpant but rather a casual observer from the ceiling above. I stayed calm, good breathing, time to think and each time he sunk it in and choked me out.
Eventually I called the instructor over and he watched as I was again choked out. He had me "talk it out", as in each step for my escape. Its funny, as I talked it through I realized that although I knew the step I was not actually doing them.
Amazing what you can learn about yourself when you stop and smell teh flowers.

I think for newbies, like myself, slowing down is one of the hardest things to do. I am trying, in the process as I think it will take awhile for me, to realize that if I have good defense posture/position, then I can slow down and really open up my attacks.
When I first started, I kept getting caught in the triangle, took me awhile to figure that one out.
My biggest thing is exposure. I believe that the more techniques I am exposed to, the better chance I have.>

I find it really hard to do the little things when I am thinking big and I know Im not the only one.>

ahh we all know the answer. and we've preached it at one time or another. What I have learned is that no matter how many fancy techniques or subs you know. The basics save your ass.>
