He seemed to have done wrestling many years ago, but no modern grappling. I suppose he wanted to do well his first sparring, and I'm possibly the most intimidating lad at the basic course in submission wrestling.
He was pretty cool and felt horrible afterwards, but as most when starting out, he goes to hard with too little control. I'm very calm and cool-headed when sparring...
The lame thing is I told him beforehand that I didn't want to spar with him because I thought I'd get hurt (dislocated my knee two weeks ago). I'll take it as a divine message to not spar with newcomers.
