Sickness again strikes my household and I had to miss judo last night. Arghh...I didn't realize how obsessed I have become with this sport/martial art. My biggest fear is that our sensei will move back to where he came from and we will be left with only a rough MMA dojo in town that caters to the UFC types. Speaking of that dojo we are supposed to go down there some time and practice with them. Our Sensei says our grounds skills are as good as theirs which is hard for me to believe given the fact that they practice a lot of bjj (Brazilian jujitsu). But I would probably bet there are no women there and I would love to have the chance to shock some men by getting a kesa gatame or a choke. My kesa gatame is good if you have never worked with me before. Especially when you see me come in with a toddler on my hip. Never judge a book by its cover. I can take advantage of that and pin you like a bug to that mat.

Remember, BJJ and MMA folks play by different rules. So holding one of them in kesa gatame may not mean a whole lot to them since they still see it as though they can punch you. Just make sure you know the rules you're playing by before you go for osae waza...and watch out for armbars!
It will be judo only rules...but you are probably right. A hold down may not mean much to them. More than likely I will get sucked into somebody's guard or armbared. But it is always fun to fantasize.
