I can't feel my toes

Showed up late to Capoeira. But it was Brazilian Jujitsu Day. Today's class: Andres, Jesse II, Kevin, Louis, Diana, and I.

JESSE II: (sarcatically) Take your time!
LOUIS: (shakes my hand) What were you doing in your car that was taking so long?
RYAN: Jacking off.
DIANA: And you shook his hand!

Gabriel was there just to watch ... with many cans of Bud Light!

GABRIEL: Want some?
RYAN: [drinks]
LOUIS: Ryan, what are you doing?!

It's official. Louis has small man's complex. He loves talking shit to anyone bigger than him, which is EVERYONE in the class. I was partnered with Louis first in drilling armbars.

LOUIS: Stop pulling down my shorts! Child molester!
RYAN: You're pulling down your own shorts when you armbar me! Pervert!
LOUIS: Child molester!
RYAN: So you admit you're a child!
LOUIS: Which one do you think is worse? Child molester!
ANDRES: What kind of conversation are you guys having over there?!

Today's new moves: 2 armbars from sidemount. 1) Triangle nearest arm, slip foot under his head, step over with other foot to trap head, hyper-extend arm. 2) Secure far arm, step over his head with your outside leg, shift body to face direction behind you, complete armbar.

I rolled with Jesse II. It went to time limit draw. My feet were numb because the ground was so cold.

I rolled with Andres. I guess it was bugging him that he had to try so hard to make me tap out because of my flexibility and double-jointedness. Highlight: I had crucifix on him, but couldn't capitalize. I got out of his leglock attempt. I escaped everything. He got a tight armbar on me. He was probably still mad that he had to tap out to me due to gassing out that one time. I had to tap out to tight armbar. Apparently, my arm cracked really LOUD (but fear not, it's healthy). He collapsed afterward due to the effort. We hugged. Gabriel, who was cornering me, congratulated me. Caesar who came late was watching.

CAESAR: I was standing all the way here and I heard that arm snap!

We really need a place to train indoors when the weather gets colder.
