Why I shouldn't be a blue belt

There is a gi choke that specifically does that. You pass guard in to side control and basically put the choke on yourself.

I have literally done a cross-collar on myself (thought I was grabbing my opponent's sleeve). But that was before this thread started.

Exhibit AA: Lack of situational awareness

Helping out with the kid's class, there's 5 coaches (including me). We're all in a line. The head coach is getting ready to start the technique demonstration. When he says the word "take-down", the other three coaches all take a step back. When he turns to find a uke, I'm the first one he sees.
