more bjj

so i'm a couple weeks into bjj now and i'm loving it. I have a class but i also have sort of a private coach too. bjj guys really need to work on their aim for punching though. i was holding the focus mits for one of them during warm up and he ended up landing a barefisted hook to my forearm. at least now i can tell him that he is landing his punch right because there was two seperate knuckle bruises meaning he landed his first two knuckles and nothing else like a good punch should do. that wasn't my only recent pain. for most of that practice we worked take downs which hurt really bad when you don't know the right way to brace yourself. and the same guy that punched me ended up elbowing me when we were rolling right in the temple and crushed my nose against his leg which was extremly unpleasant cause my nose is already so screwed up from muay thai.
