Nov 4/15 BJJ

Open mat was yet full again… wow.

Awesomeness to all that showed up.

Warmed with the fellow Eric, the buddy with the shiny blue Fuji Gi again… great stuff. Long ass round lol.

BTW… he didn’t spaz… well a couple of times he did. But great stuff. Much improvement since our last roll.

Travis ran the class today… I warmed the guys up with the standard running around the mat, lunges, bear crawls, forward and reverse rolls as well as some shrimps.

Travis had us review a few side control escapes 3 in fact. First was a re-guard with a forearm to the neck with a z type guard, second was a bridge roll sweep, & third was a similar sweep with a deep belt grip and body lock.

Had a visiting black belt… didn’t get his name… Logan. Apparently he is in for about 4 days… I’m was hoping to get some rolling in with him… not sure what club he trained with… I had to bounce… fa family lol

image

Seriously though… if you missed out. Your loss…

Great stuff!

We then rolled… first with The Duncan, and the Mitch… 5 min or 4 min rounds.

My homie Mitch… if you are reading this lol

Open mat was full again… awesome.

Rolled with Big Willy… dude ain’t getting smaller lol.

Having big guy’s on top of you make you focus on technique… using strength is a waste of wonderful resources, especially when there is such a large difference in size and obviously that he will beat me on the strength battle.

Roll like a mouse and wait for opportunity if there is a large size difference …

Strategy is the way to go when up against an opponent bigger and definitely more skilled then the average blue belt.

 Although I did manage to tweak my lower back somehow, probably from the lack of posture while trying to escape a big man single leg lol… or maybe he sprawled on me.

Not sure.

Glad I’m not training for a tourney at the moment… still trying to gather myself mentally with all this time off from parental leave. Work hasn’t been really letting up… as paper work still appears when I make my weekly visits lol…

Partnered with the Rock Climber… Rhino ran the class, had us review the double leg at the 5th stage, then added sprawling to the top guy to defend.

He initially had us drill the double starting at the 5th stage with resistances… then had us sprawl while in the 5th stage with resistance… yep wrestling ain’t easy so much effort for a take down.

Saulo Ribeiro

Definitely wasn’t good for my back especially with the warm up rolling with big Willy…

Rolling: (5 min rounds)
1. Rock Climber
2. Daluca

Guys weren’t letting up… good push. great tough rounds!!

Halloween had a few beers and too many chips lol.

Honestly I didn’t want to train… no excuses. just show up.

Results from my row session below… my brain still hurts lol

It was 100 percent the coffee that motivated me!!

Quite a number of guys and a few gals showed up this morning… wonderful.

Quick clip of the warm-up below…

Quick clip of us drilling some fundamentals below…

Quick clip of us reviewing the rolling bow choke below, the drilling it…

We also did the circle of death, which is basically just a positional drill from side control with the top person attacking for a submission or maintaining position, and the bottom person working an escape or re-guarding.
