Rolling was fun enough.
However, The guy that I was working out with was cranking his forearm into my throat during chokes — not cool at all.
Now, even the morning after, I feel like I have a sore throat. It hurts to swallow, eat, etc. I hope this goes away!
Funny thing is, the guy that was choking me is like 120 lbs. and also a white belt. But at least once, I tapped and he did not stop. No big deal, so I did not try to overreact in class. I chose not to roll with him, for fear that I would try to get revenge (I weigh about 180).
But, as with most things so far, it doesn’t really hurt until I get home. Now I’m a little worried. Is this pain normal?
In any case, I’ll survive - just feels good to complain I guess. And I’m never working out with that guy again. Have to say, he’s the first jerk I’ve met in my jiu-jitsu experience.
Everyone else has been awesome.
Going to watch a tournament on saturday… that should be fun!
