"Nope, you gotta pull back harder than that, Gen," Hoyt, my Jiu Jitsu instructor tells me while watching me spar with a guy about Lexington's size on the blue mat. "You wanna pop that space right in the crease of the elbow. Use your leverage."
I feel all the muscles in my body burning in protest. The man is huge and far stronger than I am, but that's part of the reason that Lexington thought this specific martial art would be beneficial for someone of my size and build. It teaches you how to use leverage to your advantage. How to get the drop on someone that might have more muscle on you, and this dude definitely fits the bill.
