So my private lesson with Jordan Collins was nearing its end.
We had done review, and then he showed me a few new things. After that we did some instructional sparring, with him teaching as we went.
We reached a logical stop point, but instead of restarting like we had, he said he was going to take my back, and get me with a right-arm rear naked choke. My job was to defend. We started on our knees facing each other.
I think I lasted 40 seconds.
He said next time it should take 45.
I'd be happy with 42.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
