So I practiced muay thai last night. Let me rephrase that; the judo brown belt that I practiced against practiced muay thai against me last night. That dude kicked me in the left shin over and over, and it's not as if he was really trying a foot sweep. He just kept hauling off and kicking me in the damn shin with his heel. No kazushi at all. It perturbed me. I finally had enough and foot swept him (really hard...Greg can testify). He seemd to be extremely angry when we stood up, and he tried slinging me all over the place (he outweighed me by at least 50 lbs), and then he got thrown again. The addage that anger makes you do bad things worked here.
And when it was on the ground, I had no mercy. I moved all over him, took his back, choked him, swept him, armbarred him. Worse, it seemed that he tried to be "sneaky" and do very light single touches as a tap. I did not accept these since, from the shin kicks, I suspected they were meant to make me let go and permit him to claim that he did not tap. I could be wrong, but it is what I thought at the time. He asked for instruction rather than free rolling during what was supposed to be our second session of ground-work. I complied since, overall, he seems like a nice guy, but he seems to suffer from judo brown belt disease.
Dave Sullins got to roll the black belt from Montana, who bypassed my sign and walked across the mats with his street shoes on. I have to admit that it is strange for a 3rd dan judoka not to remove his shoes when on a mat, especially someone else's. Anyhow, Dave worked him, and the guy was actually claiming to "coach" him; he even claimed to go light on Dave. HA! Dave is now an experienced BJJ blue belt; he even announced to the guy (whom he had fat-boy mounted at the time he was being "coached" to get an armbar) that he was a BJJ guy and he was getting a choke. Dave got the choke. During their later sessions, the guy was tapping as soon as Dave got position.
