Got first submission last night (brag and thanks)

[TTChamp]

Blatent brag post...no one else to tell so I'm posting here.

I've been doing a BJJ class (no gi) for about 1.5 months now. Last night during sparring I got my first submission. Dude was in my gaurd and was trying to power around my left leg. I saw an opening and put a triangle on him. He tried to roll out, but I managed to roll with him and ended up in a mount with the triangle still applied. I pulled up on the back of his head and he tapped.

I'm considering this a victory eventhough he submitted me ~10 times before I got him once.

Thanks to everyone who posts martial arts advice here. You guys were partly responsible for motivating me to start this class.

Congrats. I put my brother in this same move a couple of weeks ago and made him tap. He is younger than me but he is at that age where he thinks he is bigger and badder than what he really is but he really is bigger than me now lol

my brother is there too...he's 4 years younger than me, but works as a guard at a juvenile jail, and thinks he's badass for muscling 15 year old kids...

generally, if we're drunk and he tries to get me, within about 30 seconds, i have him in a choke or have his arm in a position where he begs off...

20+ years of getting dominated by an older brother is no small mental hurdle to jump...as soon as the tide turns, he's looking to tap...
