Over the hour, Adam and Connor lock hands and practice more ground defense, and during their spar, Adam manages to escape or successfully defend himself against Connor over thirty percent of the time.
This percentage is astronomical if you take into consideration that Adam is a complete newbie, and he is going up against someone who has given most of his life to grappling martial arts.
During the spar, Connor also learned that if he tried the same thing twice on Adam, he will fail as Adam very quickly picks up on his previous mistakes and improves them in a matter of moments, plus his superior strength help him get out of tough position even if his technique is not on part with Connor's.
Connor learned that to continue defeating Adam, he needs to reach down very deep into his bag of tricks, forcing him to use some very rare grappling moves that most fighters never use in their entire career.
