This is a photo I took of two of my best friends and teachers sparring a couple of weeks ago. I've known the guy getting his face pressed by Thales for over 5 years. He was an assistant instructor at my first martial arts school and now teaches at Rise Up. He's now a Brown Belt and though young he's one of the most down to earth folks I know. I love partnering with him as we both like to get into the physical mechanics of how moves and submissions work. I've been his practice dummy a few times over the years as he'd prepare for various tests. By doing so I have learned when techniques I don't even really know will work on me or not just by how they "feel" when being applied. At the seminar I'd have the main person showing us stuff do the techniques to me and would memorize how it all felt. Then when the two of us would work I could give proper feedback and we'd iron out the details. I wish I could explain it but as we'd sort things out, and figure out how to use body mechanics to be effective we'd actually get "giddy." I do love this South American Ground Karate.
