RAM RAMZAN: IRAM RAMZAN: Barely an hour has passed since I first met Roger Gracie, and now he is kneeling between my legs, his hands firmly on my chest. Roger commands, 'Raise your hips up and against me.' 'And now, run your right leg across the meep, like you're mounting a horse.' I've never mounted a horse, but I'll give it a try. I can dislodge one of Roger's hands and pull on his collar while lifting my own leg up as a lever to'sweep' him, so that I'm finally on top (the'mount'). That's the point, anyway. I want to let you know that I'm not being taught in the finer points of the Kama Sutra. Rather, these manoeuvres put me in a better position to either lock Roger's arm or make a run for it.
