Spent most of the day at JaxBJJ with some amazing guys.  The school is run by Professor Larry Shealy, a true master in the art.  I was there to start my certification in Kid Jitsu, a system devised by Professor Shealy that layouts guidelines, goals, values, and moves for teaching kids of various levels.  I can't help but sell in short in text, because you have to experience to really understand what a great system it is.

One of the advantages of being there was to get some tweaks from some high level belts.  The most amazing part was the rear naked choke.  A simple move, yes?  But when done by a legit black belt, it is truly frightening.  Professor Shealy explained that it shouldn't hurt and that the opponent should be surprised by the blackout - and I was.  There was only a feeling of pressure, then suddenly the blackness closed in around my eyes.  It was like I stood up too fast and dropped my blood pressure.  Wild.
