Initial impressions: Yesterday was amazing! I'm so excited to see what we learn today! I also have battle scars from yesterday. Today we learned to break someone's grip when they are pulling you. We learned 7 grip releases. Each of these grip releases consists of using your own leverage to escape. We were also introduced to a new professor, Professor Fabio. He walked around helping us and showing us how to execute each move properly. However, when we practiced our inverted low grip release, Professor Fabio showed Andrea and me how to escape differently from how Professors Amber and Rafael originally showed the class. Coach Sara saw Andrea and I struggling and she corrected the error we were making and made the grip release a lot easier to understand. I'm not saying Professor Fabio didn't teach us properly I just needed more clarification for that particular grip release. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit discouraged today, but I refuse to give up! I just need practice with these grip releases. Anthony agreed to help me practice so that's a plus! I want to master each of these grip releases. I struggled with the last two so those are the ones I will focus on. Tomorrow we are working on how to avoid/escape an unwanted hug. I'm excited and ready! Since I do not know the grip releases by name except inverted low, here is a short video of what we learned in class today. Maybe seeing what I learned today will inspire some of you ladies (and gentlemen) to join a class like this!
