The first taste of pain in BJJ

I am a big fan of martial arts. Currently I'm a Taekwondo practitioner (because it has the best kicks) and have recently started my newly found martial art, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Well actually, i knew about it ages ago but just haven't really bothered to take lessons, since i was already doing Taekwondo.

In a training session today i felt the pain of a deadly arm bar, with full extension. I'm quick on my feet and manage to escape a lot arms bars and locks but this one today just got me in a vulnerable position.

If any one doesn't what an arm bar looks like...well here it is, in all its glory. Trust me the guy in pink or whatever colour hes wearing, is definitely in pain. Only guys who are quite quick can get out of this position (namely me...mwahaha!!)
