Nice Post, thanks for the insight
Thanks and I hope it didn't come off like I was handling junior blues. Anything outside of standing or me on top in a dominant position (usually after a throw but sometimes after I passed guard) and I was getting caught frequently. Sometimes even on top all I could do was hang on and gas them with wrestling and Judo pin pressure. Well that and when some of them believed Judo guys couldn't defend double legs...
Some of the less basic guards (DLR for instance) that I never experienced in Judo puzzled the fuck out of me, and leg locks might have been a foreign language.
I was happy I could bring something new to the club while starting my own BJJ journey.
Moral of the story: do BJJ at BJJ, throwing WBs and some blues is a dick move...but sometimes one decides to try that Osoto they saw on YouTube and your instincts kick in and you counter with your own very favorite Osoto...then you're desperately trying to ease the impact on the way down, lol.
