Johnny Newbie 4 posts	Friday 19th November 2004 at 11:34 I have been training my students in groundfighting recently. I have been asked on many occassions how i keep control by not panicking. They watch me bide my time waiting for a mistake from my Uki. Inevatably when they do I capitalise on the situation. I use a trick taught to me by Prof W. Jay. In times of agony i think of a peacefull moving image-a windmill! Anyone else have any ideas? Johnny BJJA Johnny BJJA
