I have recently began serious traditional (Gi) BJJ training. As many of you know, I have extensive experience in karate, kung fu and tae kwon do, including sweeps from standing and a few throws, but very little grappling experience.
I had about 10 classes of MMA that included some "no gi" jiu jitsu.
So far, I have had 3 classes of the traditional BJJ, and I am finding many of the throws counter intuitive. In otherwords, I feel like I am setting up to throw one direction, but the technique is the other direction.
Anyone else experience this? How did you adapt?
