Bas Rutten

I took a class on a mixed martial arts that's new to me called Bas Rutten. This guy:
It kicked my ass. We started with punching and ducking which is all good. Then we were to head-butt our partner and grab them from behind the knees, dropping them to the ground. Then we were to pin them and more or less lie on them. When you're falling backward you have to stretch out your arms at a 45 degree angle from your body with hands flat to disperse your weight. You can't put them out too early, though, or you'll end up bracing yourself with your wrists which is a very, very bad thing to do.
