Sprawl you fool. Don't pass out. Sprawl!
I rolled with the Black belt I take privates with a couple of times last night.
The first time he let me get off the guard pass to leg bar thing he showed me on the weekend but after that he just triangle/armbar-ed the crap out of me any time I started to setup my guard pass. He was trying to see if I had remembered what he had told me to do in that position (see above), but with the flow of blood being cut off to your brain you end up thinking very slowly and your thought processes devolve as follows:
Uhoh. Triangle. I need to go round to the right and posture up to get out, wait, he's attacking the arm, protect the arm, protect the arm, now... what was I, uh, I need to go left or right... one of them... which? ...one? I'm passing out, tuck the chin tuck the chin, okay... safe for a bit... I need... to go a direction... which direction... if I go the right way... I get out... if I go the wrong way... I pass out... I don't know... which way... I should... go... don't wan't... to... choose... wrong... maybe... if... I... go... forward... instead... ... ... that... didn'...t wo...rk... ti...me... to... ta...p...
*tap* ... *tap* ... *tap* ... *blood returns to brain* crap, I should've gone right.
Anyway, apparently since I had weight on the leg, I should sprawl...
