Oh, the strong spaz, the eternal bane of white belts everywhere. As a beginner, it can be hell to deal with another beginner who is full of piss and vinegar. They thrash and smash and grind and explode out of everything. They grab on to whatever they can reach and yank it as hard as they can. If they get a hold of your head, they squeeze and crank with a barbarian’s fury.
To deal with these cavemen, you just need more experience and technique. The old school Gracie basics are often the best for dealing with these guys, since those techniques are simple and safe. They were designed to keep you protected. Get to a safe position, don’t leave your neck or limbs hanging out where they can be yanked on, and you’ll be able to ride out the spazzicane.
