Thurs 9am July 16/15 BJJ

image

Got to LEMMA around 9am after feeding the monkey… yes, I brought him too in his little stroller lol. Britt was in with a bunch of her clients for her fitness training. Neat to see all her with her clientele in the gym. Rhino was in early with his kid to do some lifting.

image

Made sure to sweep and disinfect the mat… was hoping the little guy would fall asleep for his nap. I even brought his GI lol… waiting for him to fall asleep to put him on the mat. No dice during our light rolling sessions. Next time, I’m gonna just put him on the mat with his GI hah!!

Rolling: (7 min rounds, 1 min break)
1. Hash Man
2. Sushi
3. Hass Man
4. Winny

Rolling with Hash Man has always been fun… his Nogi base really helps him with his transitioning. Only when he wears No GI… lol today he didn’t where I did. Its always fun when when I roll with a handicap. Kid is fast, transitioning is clean, and his positioning has improved… love his game.

Rolling with Sushi hasn’t changed much. Always fighting to maintain top, going really hard… common white belt with a heavy set game. Probably a tad better as compared to the Albino Rhino when he first started, especially with the pressure. Sushi knows the pressure game, just has to stop emphasising using so much strength… oh well, only time OTM will help give those unnatural habits. Use strength and you will gas. Winny has the same strategy as Sushi.

Ironically, everyone new to BJJ seems to work a similar strategy, strength, and trying to pass my guard by running around as fast as possible to take my back hahahah.

Note my nicknames for everyone to protect their identities. Don’t get offended… it’s a blog. Like BJJ there is no sense in lying and making up nonsense, as it will all show up in the white wash… or OTM.

Keith was in with Owen waiting for Tony on a private… can’t wait till Graysone is older so i can roll with him.

See y’all Friday for Open Mat…

Wed July 8/15 BJJ

Got  to the class around 6:15 pm today

Damn ton of faces out

WORD!

Long day with my little buddy, went to Babyfest at Babies R Us, picked up a new stroller… went to the mall to grab some phone cases for the parents for my visit to Toronto this weekend and watch the Grappling Submission Only Competition in Mississauga. Then to the Super Store to pick up sushi for dinner. All while keeping my little monkey stimulated, entertained, and fed…

Sounds like I’m a stay at home mom eh?

image

Well, how bout I’m a stay at home dad for the next 5 months… yep till December 6th 2015 lol… WORD!

Hopefully, I will be able to get more BJJ in… hopefully. I did however managed to get a lift session early yesterday. 5 sets, 18 reps of 135 lbs Squats, then Bench. Yay…

image

Anywho, Dave the Diesel Letourneau ran the warm-up with a few half guard drills. First, while your opponent  stands up in your half guard, you transition into a sit up guard with a belt grip then sweep them with your outside leg and into a topside knee bar. Second, was top side inside the half guard, with the reverse hook, and opposite knee slice into a spinning arm bar, with an open option to kimura. Third, was with the same knee slice, only instead of positioning for the arm bar, you take the back with a seated side mount and harness.

image

I partnered with Big Rig… haven’t trained with this home boy in a while!

Fun fun!!

Dave then got us to spar starting from half guard. 3.0 min sessions, with 1.0 min breaks.

I’ll be honest, I hate these, guys roll sooo freaking hard thinking… like they need to submit in 3 mins lol.

image

First, rolled with Big Rig, starting on bottom…

image

Second, was with Josh the Beast Daluca, I started on top. DAMN dude has a pace. Similar to Jesse Veltri…

image

Third, was with Colin, the 240 lbs white belt that used to train Aikido, yep… nuff said lol…

image

Fourth, was with Diesel, 200 lbs purple belt on top of you… and he went light lol…

image

Fifth, was with Doctor Rupert… Rupert has come a long way… he is a tenured PhD Professor, Psychology I believe. Early 30’s good looking fit fellow at our local University… trains regularly. Big up on his commitment.

image

Great rounds!

image

Everyone pushed me!

That being said, for all of you mofo’s that missed this class…

image

Diesel dropped some big half guard transitioning…

Next time show up!
