I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.

What's funny is that Im commuting to Toronto now and just joined a gym there. So I'm going be rolling back up with a new belt after a single class with them. They seem chill so I'm not too worried about being a target but I almost want like an official letter from my home gym to prove I'm not just like buying a belt on Amazon.
I just remembered that last year we had a blue belt from Toronto who was in town for work and was tooling a bunch of us blue belts for the week. He went back to Toronto for the weekend and the following week he was back in our gym with a purple belt on. It made a bunch of us blue belts feel a bit better about getting tooled and we were all happy for him getting promoted since he wasn't being an rear end in a top hat when rolling. He then proceeded to get tooled by a bunch of purples and browns all in good fun and thus the balance of our gym was corrected. You're not an rear end in a top hat so I'm pretty sure all will be right in the jiujitsu realm.

Ha, nice try. I've been out for a week with a hyper-extended thumb due to me trying to exert my top pressure on a 260lb brown belt (I'm 160lbs :doh:). He bench pressed and swept me and I was silly to think I could avoid it by posting my arm.

Technique question - how do I finish this choke and does it have a name?

So I'm going for a marcelotine on my right side. Opponent starts grabbing my fingers so I shoot my left arm through and grab my right bicep to form an inverted RNC or no-arm darce. I stay tight enough to stay in place. How do I get a tap from this position? I had a guy there last night for a good 60 sec and couldn't figure out how to seal the deal.

Yeah that's more or less it. I wasn't 100% sure if it was called "ninja choke" or not.

It seems that mine may have not worked because I rotated too far to send the with the new choking hand in deep for a blood choke, and ending up facing a right angle to my opponent's body. I need to stay straighter and go for the windpipe.

Man one of the requirements for blue belt should be attitude - to recognize how much there is left to learn. The only circumstance in which I could get behind a fresh blue belt starting a school is if he was moving somewhere that had no school at all, and even then it would be best to set something up as an affiliate.

The only person at my school with a jiu jitsu tattoo that I'm aware of is a black belt. The idea of doing that at 6 months in is insane. I bought the cheapest rash guard possible for my first no gi gear and I waited about 8 months to get my second (on sale) gi. Just buying a shoyoroll at 6 months seems like too much to me.

Did my first BJJ class after half a decade hiatus where i've done nothing but counterstrike and weed

i wouldn't call myself rusty

tiny particles of metal and dust, long since having lost all semblance of shape or memory of its previous form would be more accurate, I think

He's going to get a black belt some day. I know this because he'll never quit jits, because having that tattoo after having quit jits means he'll look like an even bigger rear end in a top hat than he does now.

Or as the tattoo thread would put it, "nice panther."

Far as BJJ tats, you should be at least a purple belt before getting anything, right?

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
There's tons of tats and quite a few BJJ tats at my gym. But I managed to make it to black belt with no BJJ tattoos. An amazing number of people get them at blue belt and under though. It's especially cringeworthy when it's gym specific and they end up leaving the gym.
