Mike walked through the doors of Navarro Jiu-Jitsu eager for practice. Though Mike was a novice—his pristine Gi and white belt gave it away—he had enjoyed the first few sessions.
His buddies prepared him for the steep learning curve, and he welcomed the challenge.
He watched closely and listened intently as Professor Navarro walked him through an arm bar escape in a thick accent, “Always think of the grip.” “Think of the grip.”
On the way home, Mike wondered how much his game would improve as soon as he understood what his coach meant by “thingamajig.”

Kudos to Mike for accepting that challenge. No doubt he’ll be all the better for it one day. Can only guess at “thingamajig” but it sounds as if he’d better beware!
