Judging by the thread title, I was going to suggest that you stick your tongue in his ear.
That’s kindof how i felt, it was really awkward whenever he was gripping my hand for dear life but not doing anything else.
Unfortunately, I’m only a BJJ noob too, so I can’t offer any practical advice.
There’s a martial art out there that, according to rumour, specializes in dealing with people who GRAB YOUR WRIST.
Makes perfect sense, i should fight the new guy’s sissygrappling with even sissier grappling.
but nobody teaches this secret art around here. :C
shtupidhead: thanks, i didn’t really think about trying to immobilize his arms. (noob :C)
Anyone have anything else to offer?
Tell him you arent quite ready for the next level of your relationship, tell him you need to take it slow for a while.
Hater.
People are born with their orientation (thumbs being particularly at issue).
They can’t help it.
After holding hands for a while, it’s traditional to give the man a kiss. Also, since he’s holding onto your wrist in your guard, why not take advantage and armbar him?
Perhaps you missed my memo.
