Mar 2/16 Wed Night BJJ

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

Hardly catching up lol, especially while chasing around a little monkey… yeah the kid is fast. lol

Got to LEMMA around 5:30 pm this day…
G was teething again so he needed some extra time eating.

😦

Poor guy… wish I could absorb all his pain. Apparently the pain babies endure during teething could induce a grown adult into a mental state of insanity and be possibly emitted to a psychiatric institution. Who knows.

#pain

Guess that’s why we all forget when we grow up…

Tylenol, food, formula, and sleep. He was shivering…

Today Thor had us rep out the side control escape, into a re-guard, a rolling sweep, when they set up a low x-pass, then negating the pass when your opponent shifts their weight backwards realising they are going to get swept. I believe I partnered with Aussie Mike or Nathan for this. Rolled with Nathan, Mike, Thor, Jason & possibly a few others… probably 5 min rounds.

Honestly, I forget, its been a while, who knows lol.

I start this, then I get distracted…

#overamonthbehind

Soooo what?

Got to LEMMA around 8:30 am… got the following in prior to the homies showing up.
4x200m/2x1000m rowing, 4×10 box jumps, 4×25 push-ups, 8×4 tire flips, 40 sec head stands, sweeping/mopping, & some stretching… banged my shins on the box lol

Here it is slowed down lol… yep. Shin is all scraped up lol.

Yes that sucked. I walked it off!! lol

Either way, we had a standard warm-up, some positional sweep drilling, reviewed taking the back from mount from the hook sweep, 5×5 min rounds of rolling, and then 10 mins of first to points. The guys and gals did well, some were a little competitive but eh… a little competition never hurt anyone.

Like whoa… got a cold. I really shouldn’t have went to BJJ this day.

However, had to… going to Vegas early Friday morning for our delayed honeymoon lol. Miss it cause we found out we were having G a few days after the festivities lol. Don’t plan on training this visit… time with the wife is more important for this trip.

Won’t be back till late Monday night. Grandma and Grandpa are in town watching G and the munchkin dog.

🙂

Whew though… still had the boogers lol.
I apologise for anyone that got sick cause of me…

Hopefully I didn’t give anyone a cold… selfish me.

Aussey Mikey ran the warm-up….

Thor made us rep a double leg variation, then we drilled a hip bump sweeps, then an omaplata switch from the hip bump sweep.

Very nice!

Felt like I did it about a few hundred times.

#GIWASSOAKED
Then we rolled… 5 min rounds. Thor, Eric, then with Jared. Fun fun!

Again, I apologise for anyone that got sick cause of me…

From what I remembered we may have worked on my favorite sweep

#lassosweep

Because I do remember having to switch to my weak side do to negate my bruised shin lol.

#Stillbehind

Yep got back from Vegas last night round 12:00 pm.

Great time, a lot of sun and wonderful shows.

Beautiful concrete jungle…  a lot of gamble and literally just spending money.

🙂

lol… either-way BJJ on the 17th was another night I shouldn’t shown up. Wrist, ankle, what else.

Class was great… consisted of a warm-up with take-downs, isolated side control escapes with 5 min drilling, and then 5×5 min rounds of rolling.

I partnered with Aussey Mike for the duration of the class to work drills. Rolled with Mike, Tyson, Mitch, the Rock Climber,  and then Juneau.

Tough crowd.

Homies pushed me lol.

Sure… I was allowed to come in… lol.

In the morning anyways…

BJJ in the morning on a Sunday?

Why not?
Ain’t different then any other day, aside that you get to spend the rest of the day hanging with the other favourite people on earth…
Other then our BJJ mat rats.

You bet I came in to row, and do some conditioning stuff…  4×10 box jumps, 4×25 push-ups, 4×4 tire flips, all as fast as I could.

Tried doing the 200 m… wanted to puke. Only got 3 sets in lol… now on to box jumps and other random things. BJJ soon!

Come on. I’m bored. Video taping encourages me to perform. 🙂
At least I’m doing something… NO?

wpid-fb_img_1425488229884.jpg

Class was fun though… I actually took it easy on the homies today… been noticing guys really messing up side rolling. I see it every Sunday and during the week during our movement exercises.
#Messedup
Homies train everyday in the morning but can’t do a fundamental side roll, its like shrimping, helps with guard retention and escaping.

PRACTICE practice practice, DRILL drill drill lol

#Seriously

Told the homies that we will be reviewing it during class this day. 

I use to suck at side rolling, heck!! rolled over my head. 

Even found them a wonderful clip to help them improve while sitting at home watching TV… was hoping specific people showed up… that didn’t, that really suck at them and keep saying they can’t do it. Oh well can’t get them all.

Nice reference for building that flexibility I found for them below.

Even one for Granby Rolling… great reference below.

Either way, our morning class consisted of a standard warm-up with movement exercises, reviewed side & Granby rolling, 5×5 min rounds of rolling.
You bet… clip below.

Heck I still feel like I suck at BJJ, especially when life intervenes off the mat.

Just gotta keep showing up and plugging away!

Cause we love BJJ!!

Ossss!

4×1 km Rows, 4×10 31in Box Jumps, 4×25 reps of push-ups, random stupidity, stretching, and mat cleanliness.

Added 2 of those damn 45 lbs cross fit plates for a box jump max lol. Repped 2 of them. Not even sure how thick they are… Will measure next time.

Clip of us training…

Warm-up with movement exercises with help from my homeboy Nathan Hatton. We then worked on open guard partner exercises, positional sweep drilling, reviewed the scissor sweep to mounted crossed collar choke, and then we rolled 5 rounds of 5 minute rounds.

Boy was it warm… lol

Got to LEMMA round 5:00 pm… holy shoot. Tonnes of guys there doing things, from lifting, privates to working on the bag… wow. The heat was hilariously hot. Oh well good for me… bad for everyone else?

Got the little homie’s to follow me around with some running around the mat, side steps, outside/insides, then switching every 2 side steps. Had them bear crawl then a bunch of lunges around the mat.

fb_img_1424066772310.jpg

Nathan and Marco came in to help out,and even Justin, which was fantastic lol… Marc had them do a few cool things as well as Nathan.

Either way its always great o help out with the kids BJJ… only wished I had more time.

Maybe one day I’ll have a club where I can have time to teach BJJ to kids.

All about the growth of BJJ!!
