Didn’t want to go… went eitherway.
A small 10 minute warm-up with standard stuff.
He then had us rep the butterfly sweep, with an under hook belt grip from a sleeve, arm drag stuff from open guard back and forth for a few 10 minute rounds.
I partnered with Thor.
Repped out like a million of them lol… nuts!!!
Didn’t roll…
Keith ran the class this day… he had us rep a back take entry from closed guard tricep and cross collar control to both foot on the hips sit up to back take. I partnered with Morgo… great stuff. We essentially worked on this for an hour. Then rolled lol great stuff….
Rolled with Morgo, Evan, Tony then Luke??
Got tossed by Tony….judo style.

A toast to old and new injuries lol
Lol
Catching up!!
Got to LEMMA around 5:45 pm…
Rhino ran the class… had us work on duck unders.
Technique was a guard break that involved trapping the arm.
Rolling was 10 minute rounds. Travis, Rupert, & some really big tall guy, think his name was Evan… as big and tall as big red. Definitely newer… weird how they always ask for the roll. Great stuff, tough rounds. Guy’s weren’t letting up lol… giving it their all.
Some guys too much lol.
Ahhh well, the learning curve I guess.
Yes I managed to get some training before the class lol…
#rowing
15 mins warm-up, 30 min drilling closed guard sweeps and chaining submissions, reviewed some technique, and then 6×5 mins rounds of rolling. It was Philippes bday a few days ago… so we kinda shark tanked him.
Fun slow mo roll with newer Mark lol!!
Either way, keep showing up… I do lol.
Just make sure to take time off when injured or you just keep injuring yourself!!
Will try to get another one in before calling it a night.
Ossss!!
Yes lol I know behind.

We had our final gradings for the week… a lot of over due belts a few kids, blues, a purple and a few degrees on browns.
Wooo congrats to all!!
#TrainintheGI, say’s Marcelo Garcia, your jiu-jitsu will get better.
Train in the GI, say’s T-son, not only will your BJJ get better, but the belts you level up with, you can actually wear to hold together your GI jacket and up your pants lol 🙂
Cute picture my homie Travis took from a Sunday class yipping BJJ BS…
Promotions, gradings, and belts mean different things to everyone.
Everyone’s journey is different!
We all train BJJ for different reasons… gotta respect the reason’s. Without the reasons, there wouldn’t be people training. Without the people training, there would’t be BJJ.
This blog has been good to me, an opportunity to reflect, think, and grow on opportunities I wouldn’t have rather if I didn’t blog. A reflection of my BJJ and its continued evolution. Tracking personal progress, changes, attitude, learning experiences, and just random gibberish, kind of like a painting or self portrait that could in turn be reflective of my mat time which of course can never be taken away, ever… especially when its in my blog lol.
Been harder lately with chasing my kid around lol… more eh??? Yah more eventually lol.
Random chaotic beauty… Gibberish, which is a good reflective representation of what a none BJJ practitioner would see lol.
#Gibberish
Thor had us do 5 mins of arches and 5 mins of forward/backwards shrimping. He also made us do butterfly sweeps as well as turn over re-guarding for 5 mins each.
Then we rolled. 5 mins with Luke, Juneau, Deseil, Josh, and then bigger Josh lol… yes there is a bigger Josh. Blue belt too, Haha.
Great stuff!!!
Wooo!
Got some time to kill… let’s bight down on this bit by bit… the marathon lol.
Open mat jamming, 5 min rounds. 1 with Trav, Gary, Kyle, Kole, Derek, Hector, Jared, & 2 with Andrew.
Got in a lot of rounds, I was feeling healthy.
Boy did the guys push me… great stuff!!. Homeboys are hungry.
Slow motion with Kyle… lol. 5 min rounds.
Great Open Mat!!!
Second day of gradings… so many peeps lol… sooooo many.
I believe Thor ran the class this night.
Warm-up with running around, forward/reverse shrimping, sit-outs, break-falls to technical stands, 5 mins of standing arm drags, worked on a butterfly sweep, then positional king of the mat.
Mount, back, and closed guard?
Forget been a while lol…
Love it!!
