Tapping a purple belt

Sorta...

I had him in half-guard and since he was a lot taller than me (he's probably 6'4" compared to my 5'9"), I decided to try and work out of it and I apparently put a little too much pressure on his nuts. Yes, he forgot to wear his cup and I got a little high up on him. He tapped and said "my nuts, my nuts!". Poor guy. Is that move legal in competition?

During another one of our rolls I got jabbed on the noggin. I have a nice hematoma on the left side of my forehead. I guess an eye for an eye.. or something.

We we're both exhausted and I just worked on escapes and surviving basically. He tapped me a few times of course but I did manage a few escapes (mount escape was the hardest!) Sure, he may have been going a little easy on me but still, the technique was good according to him. I think that says a lot.

I love this sport. I'm excited that I'm progressing and retaining some of this information.

I bought "Jiu-Jitsu University" tonight and once I read it, I will blog a review.

I loaned out Roy Dean's blue belt requirement DVD's so once I get them back, I'll review them also.

Thanks for reading! Roll safe!
