Dec 26/15 Boxing Day BJJ

#Bjjfourlife BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling , , , , , , , ,

Yes… I fell behind.

Oooops…

Whether its read or not. Don’t matter. Its my gibberish.

Boxing day a was a great day of shopping and finding sales… got up early.

Real early lol.

Fed the monkey’s me and the wife had a small bite and we hit the road…

Lots of random deals, not much though.

I SWEAR there was more last year.

Nothing you don’t really need to survive lol… either way it was nice to get out of the house and burn a few calories walking around the mall with the wife and baby. Time with the family is important.

The mall was empty when we got there… when we left. The parking lot was full. People fighting for our spot lol. Yep nuts…

Either way the someone posted on our gyms group page asking if anyone wanted to train… reality was, I was planning on hanging with the wife and family for the day, especially with all the training I do already…

But, the post felt heart felt… lonely.

Almost loser like. I gotta heart man.

#BJJfourlife

Either way got permission from the wife to go in… yep. Posted a reply… Kait also agreed to join in, all to meet for 2 pm.

Not too shortly after… dude bails on the session.

Really buddy? Like really?

I managed to rearrange my schedule to help you out. Maybe I need to be more selfish with my time.

Bunch of BS as far as I’m concerned… should have just figured dude was gonna bail due to the other numerous other occurrences, what ever, your loss.

#whitebelt4life

Not sure if he’s actually interested in BJJ or just wants to be associated with BJJ and the idea of cool people rolling.

Training BJJ and the cool ass lifestyle that comes with it…

#poser

All I know is the mat don’t lie and your actions speaks larger then words. Made up excuses don’t help with your journey… you only lied to yourself.

Public shaming possibly?

Providing we’re practically the only legit BJJ club in town… respect, honour, integrity doesn’t travel too far within our little training ground and BJJ community up here in the sticks. Where else you gonna train homie? In your basement?

Especially when you find out what was obvious is obvious…

Either way, I still managed to get some training in… actually a lot.

Thanks to only Kait that showed up, when someone else bailed.

We reviewed a basic closed guard arm-bar…. wooo hooo. Loved it!

NERD shit!!

Cool ass clip I made below Osssss…

#Bjjfourlife BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling , , , , , ,

Wow… sore after todays morning session lol.

Happy birthday little homie!

Yep… time flies.

Was sooo damn nervous last year. Now we’re here. 1 year later!!

Also did a double round with Alex and Winston before leaving.

NUTS

Dudes were grinding!!

Shoulder to the face and spazzy white belt BJJ SHIZZO lol…

Oh well, we all went through the stage lol… some longer then others.

image

Tony is a brick… the brick brick house!!

Jammed my wrist somehow..?

image

Oh well another date with naproxen tonight, I guess lol… possibly take a break tomorrow to roll on Friday for open mat.

We’ll see lol… 4 days of BJJ in a row… Boom-digity!

Dec 22/15 Tues Morning BJJ

#Bjjfourlife BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling , , , , , , , ,

Train lots, train as often as you can, and just do it… especially if you can. Work, life, and plenty of worldly things will always get in your way, but when absolute opportunity arise, man there are no excuses, aside from sickness and health. Moving and doing things is what makes us live. Being engaged in actual physical and mental activities makes us human, creatively makes us grow intuitively. Its innate and deep deep inside us.

#thankgod4BJJ

Everything’s in the mix… the perfect hobby.

image

Ironic though… a wonderful quote I once came upon by the lovely Tabetan Monk the Dalai lama

BJJ takes me to the here and now. Living in the moment. Trying to survive for my life.

Sooo then definitively BJJERs are living!!

Whut whaaat!!!

#BJJ4life #bjjfourlife

Osss Osss!!

image

Yeah lol…

Got to LEMMA around 9 am… gym temperature was crap lol.

Hot extreme warmer temperatures minimise injury period come on mon… guess the owners of building hate paying for hydro or gas lol.

Maybe the heat is why in Brazil the age cohort is much greater that train in Jiu-jitsu…

That’s a bunch of #bullshit BTW lol.

Jiu-jitsu has just been there much much longer lol. I do see some kind of positive correlation between injuries and the climate of the conditioning area’s… makes  sense no? Still gotta warm up though. False sense of physical security jumping right into hard rolling lol…

Yes last night I popped a naproxen… didn’t even go to BJJ at night. Ankle and upper back was a little sore.

No I didn’t drink lol…

Apparently naproxen and alcohol can cause holes in the stomach. Don’t need that lol.

Clip of us this morning below, 5 min rounds, with Kat, Thor, Winston, Jordan, and Justin…

Coach Keith dropped some nice knowledge about the collar grip set up!! Ossssss, if you missed it… to bad. Go get a private from him.

image

Well worth it!!!

Great rolling this morning!!

Dec 18/15 Open Mat

#Bjjfourlife BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling , , , , , , , , ,

image

Rolling is soooo important… its the magical glue that melds all of what you feel as your grappling intuition into the desired responsive sensitivity you wouldn’t normally develop just from working on, or drilling technique.

image

Man just show up lol… your training partners will push you.

image

Thank god for open mats and rolling we get… It gives us an opportunity to practice what we think we’ve learnt on live training partners. Sometimes too live hahahah LOL

image

Either way… got to LEMMA around 5:15 pm Friday. Morgo and Marco were OTM. Working on something, wasn’t even sure. I taped my week ass foot up, coffee was already downed. Rolled with Morgo, Marco, Kait, Kyle, Kevin & Mitch. A couple times with Marco, Mitch, Kait & Kyle… time flew by. 10 min rounds… yep great times. Good rolls and a lot learnt.

Quick clip of our 2 hour jam session below…

Smaller class Sunday morning…

Don’t blame no one.

wpid-fb_img_1432003047472.jpg

6 guys and gals?

Either way I got in around 9am… missed Friday open mat for a Christmas Party… yep staff Christmas party.

Nuts!!!!

Tones of prime rib, food…. and quite a few drinks lol.

Great time… didn’t feel it too bad in the morning. Must have been all the food lol.

yep I went in… great time.

Completed 2 sets of rowing… 20 mins. 4 km each… fun fun.

 
image

 

Class consisted of a warm-up, some drills, isolated drilling, some tech (tomahawk/sickle sweep), some resistance drills, then 6×5 minute rounds of rolling… great stuff.

Lots of fun…

Cute video clip below, enjoy…

I did manage to slip out and watch EBI 5 at the Frenchmans house … of course it was to no surprise who the winner would be lol… Garry Tonon. Just killing it.

Dec 4/15 Open Mat

#Bjjfourlife BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling , , , , , , ,

Friday open mat… Friday Open Mat.

In lieu of ibuprofen, I stepped it up… popped naproxen.

Yep good stuff lol… 5 or 6 min rounds?

Anywho got a few rounds in… fantastically awesome.

That is until I could feel the pain in my foot and ankle to slowly creep in.

Got some footage of my rounds… and only with Jason unfortunately lol. Jason is like a taller version of me… Definitely fitter, and longer legs.

I’m working towards being just as fit. lol

First clip was a long ass 2 or 3 round session.

Second clip is just the 4th round with him again. Dudes got some power and great hips.

Oh well… at least I showed up…

We also hit up the Sushi Station beautiful I might add… lots of food. It all managed to actually make it to the table at a decent time.

Boom-digity!

This one was only 5 days behind… oh well.

Between holidays, colds, and injuries we do what we gotta do…

Cause we do lol

Got to LEMMA around 5:45 pm…

Tape, YES!!…

Tiger Balm, YES!!…

Naproxan, YES!!!…

Stupid damn cold/cough, YES!!

Am I getting over this damn cold??, YES!!!

wpid-fb_img_1424065246623.jpg

Did I show up to roll… yes lol…

The cage was full, tone of other homies rolling… awesome.

Noticed Kait and a very young fellow by the name of Leath sitting by on the fence… guess no one wanted to roll with them homies.

Hey…

wpid-fb_img_1438373509594.jpg

They need time OTM too… BJJ is for everyone. LOL

image

We were all white belts once… rolling with them helps us position our selflessness in the world of BJJ, teach others, as others have taught you!

After rolling with Leath, I believe I rolled with Eric and then Thor. Yes last round felt like forever stuck under Thors mount. Not fun… not fun at all.

Either way, Thor ran the warm-up, I partnered with my homie Caleb… who’s a newb.

Thor had us review a heel pick, the knee-slice pass as well as the back-step pass… love them all.

Either way, fantastic class… I’m 5 days behind… oh well.

Will be caught up soon!!

Dec 7/15 BJJ

#Bjjfourlife BJJ, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, grappling , , , , , , , , , , ,

Wow lol from last Monday…

But dammit I went in… did it again… went to BJJ, in which I shouldn’t have.

Oh well… I felt in in the morning…

The sprawling may have slightly loosened my ankle while some rolling may have tweaked it in a positive manner.

You know how we know you learned something… cause we saw you doing it under pressure while rolling… the mat doesn’t lie.

wpid-fb_img_1425488229884.jpg

If you learned it… we saw it… tatami don’t lie.

Shall see in the morning I was thinking to myself lol… either way I had slapped on a bunch of tiger balm, tape, and even two types of braces… soft cotton with a semi hard neoprene style brace with velcro…

wpid-fb_img_1438805630654.jpg

Plenty of ankle support…

I partnered with Dr Shat Hatton… we drilled old man style. yep I said it.

Old man drilling lol… it exist.

Great class, Rolled with Shat, Eric, Beast Sushi, hmmmmm who else?? man… oh! Jack… 6 foot skinny boy Jack. Wow long time since he’s been on the mat.
