Behind? yes lol…
Seriously though, my kid wasn’t having a great day, not sure why… he wouldn’t let me go this day.
Guess he was still in some kinda pain.
Eitherway, I got a good warm-up in… time with him most importantly, time on the punching bag, and even a few rounds in lol.
Yes I got to roll a few rounds while Aria distracted him lol.
Clip of me chilling with my boy lol on the bags… only thing that kept him kinda entertained in lieu of holding on to me lol

Morgan was still here and he ran the class, warm-ups 15 or 10 mins of kinda of tabata excercises with 3 stations, miss tabata stuff.
- Push-ups, squats, and crunches
- Burpee’s, and backwards break fall to technical stands
- Knee downs, frog jumps
We then moved to repping and reviewing back escapes with 2 variations, standard then rolling through. We then finished with rolling starting in closed guard, 3 min rounds, top then bottom, essentially first to points then reset to inside closed guard, then we switched partners.
Great class… miss being in class lol.
Clip of us jamming below.

Was in town due to baby not allowed to be in daycare…
Obviously I went to Nogi, unfortunately I spent it running the class.
Pros and cons, pros and cons… I want to train.
I also want BJJ to grow, so I can train more lol… arhhggg lol
I swear when I ask, “if there are any questions or concerns??” please ask then then lol… to all you newbs, ASK!!
Don’t corner me in or before a roll lol
Either way, got the homies to do a standard 15 mins warm-up. We then repped and reviewed a hip throw from an under hook, to knee-belly, the arm-bar. We then finished with 5 mins rounds of rolling.
However… can I say wow on the attendance.
#Nogiwow
Wished these guys trained over the weekends…
In due time I guess untill thier actually hooked.
5:30pm classes are kinda prime time for free time after work and before dinner…
Unless you are hardcore, live, work only to train, and weekends become BJJ time too!!!
#Osss
July 10/16 Sunday BJJ

What can I say… had a couple Saturday night watching the MMA fights, lol just a couple. The fights were decent, guys and gal putting it on the line. To be honest haven’t watched too much UFC since I started training BJJ seriously.

Getting punched in the face for a living sucks. Either you give it, or your going to get it… that’s why I started BJJ to not continue getting punched in the face. It sucks, believe me lol. Training jiu-jitsu you can either be the hammer, the nail or just flow and tap. Striking, its either the one or the other, can’t really tap to striking with someone, especially in an MMA, kick-boxing or even boxing training session, getting punched in the face is all kinda part of it.

15 min warm up run by my hoime Dr Shat Hatton!! Then I got us to do 45 mins of drilling self-defense tactics with a counter from a right hook with a back take sacrifice takedown & a counter from right round house to the leg with a inside leg sweep to an Estima foot lock. Nathan then got us to review a few deadly school yard headlock escapes. After that we reviewed a closed guard cross collar strangle variation. We then had a couple 10 min rounds of rolling, with just positional stuff for one of the girls to improve her mount and turtling sensitivity.
Sweeping and mat cleanliness, with some stretching before the homies showed up…
Great class!
With a great smaller group of people who just want to train!
#Ossss
See you OTM next Saturday, hopefully lol!!
