This thought (my thoughts in italics) hits me almost every time I roll (spar) with a new person in jiu-jitsu class.
You are inside my guard and grasp my wrists with your hands.
*Nobody* has ever done that before
I'll give you a minute or two to figure out something positive to do.
I'll even tell you as much.
See, it is not so hard for me to get my hands out by making little "wax-on-wax-off" circles.
You grab my wrists again, with even more strength this time?
I'll give you a moment to figure out something else, and I'll tell you so, again.
Be sure to tap to that triangle.
Now, if you are still doing this after I've given you coaching hints on passing guard...
Oy vey, as my Jewish friends would say.
