During Q&A Professor James showed details on an armbar that @Jason Bodi had posted for the group.

@James Driskill How would you defend this attack? This attack seems a bit basic/brute-style at first glance, but I think it's not that easy to defend against. I know someone who use to do something very similar with the gi (the position, not the choke). First hand in the collar to start a cross collar choke and then shift weight to one side with a raised knee to avoid the upa. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUOhziIkf-a/ It can be my question for the Saturday live.

This week, move slowly. Not just in training. Give yourself extra time to do everything you normally do. Walk slowly around the house and in public. Breathe slowly. Reach for things slowly, blink slowly, speak slowly. Drive slowly. This is a meditation and if you struggle with anxiety it will calm your system and give you the time and presence to really tap into your senses. It’s amazing what we can accomplish with a little bit of awareness. As long as you’re not late because of it and you don’t feel more anxiety from the annoyed looks from your roommates or spouse. 😜 If this all seems too much, pick one thing and do it at 50% speed this week. Maybe eating, maybe teeth brushing….

Today's Q&A is now available in the "Q&A Archive" classroom.

Tell us about a time you felt awkward on your martial arts journey. For me it was when women suddenly started training at Rickson’s academy after years of men only.
