Hey everyone I need help in tapping out Dean. As everyone knows by now its hard to keep him in one spot for more than a minute. So if anyone has every tap him out could you tell me what you did. If anyone else has pointers I'm all ears.
Peace Out
ANYONE CAN MAKE ANYONE TAP OUT.YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT MOVE WHEN HE GIVES YOU AN OPENING. REMEMBER...THERE IS ALWAYS AN OPENING, YOU JUST HAVE TO SPOT IT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. IT IS ALWAYS HIDDEN IN PLAIN SITE.

Thanks Joe I'll remember that.
For what it's worth, setting a goal of "tapping out Dean" seems to be a little short sighted to me. It is very possible that you could catch Dean in a submission that he wasn't prepared for, as you do have good wrestling skills, but what will that "mean". There is a saying, "Saru mo ki kara ochiru" or "Even monkeys fall out of trees". Just submitting Dean will prove nothing except that he made a mistake.
If, on the other hand, you just strive to continually improve your waza, I have no doubt you will "tap Dean out" eventually and by concentrating on your technique rather than a single event, when you do tap him out you won't have to say "Ok, now what".
Just my opinion

That is ture. I don't need to let him have a reason why i bet him. Alll guys are great thanks for the help and keep it coming
I like the comments from Joe and Howard. Joe is absolutely right - no person is perfect nor unbeatable. I would say, though, that you could very well "tap me out" by skill and not necessarily me making a mistake. Keep in mind, though, it's not about "winning" in the studio. It's about making each other better. My job as an instructor is to pass on knowledge and info as best as I can and make each student "better" than me.
I do like Howard's thoughts on setting goals. He's absolutely right. Many folks enter the martial arts with a specific goal of "getting a black belt". When they reach their goal, they leave for something else. I know that several of the other black belts will back this one up - as a shodan, you've got a good understanding of the basics and the martial arts world really begins to open for the student. Hang in there. You're doing fine.

DEAN IS RIGHT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT GETTING A BLACK BELT IS THE CULMINATION OF A JOURNEY...ON THE CONTRARY, TO ME THE JOURNEY FOR ME JUST BEGAN WHEN I REACHED SHODAN. I AM RANKED IN SEVERAL ARTS, AND I KEEP LEARNING IN ALL OF THEM ALMOST EVERYDAY. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO LEARN TOO AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH WHERE YOUR JOURNEY HAS TRAVELED.
