Training Log: Entry 237

BJJ and MT class

Summary of BJJ:
Rolling
Re-working kimura

Summary of rolling:
Did better thiss time.  Didn't get tapped much, held good posistioning, and even managed a few subs.  Mainly kimura from mount (new for me, I hate mount), a gullitine, and one straight ankle lock.  Kept my hips low and used my chest to push the kimura.  Good tactic from what I can see.  The cradle is an awesome half guard escape.  Cardio is holding up well.

Summary of kimura work:

Same stuff as monday.  Special note, on the rolling kimura, roll towards side that knee is on belly, not the other side.

Summary of MT:
Drilling
Sparring
Conditioning

Drill: Boxing up top to open up a rib kick

Coaches notes to me: I throw my elbow down to block rib kicks.  I need to keep it in close and simply lower it to protect my ribs. 

Drill 2: Boxing up top with rib kick, defending partner counters with head punch and rib kick.

Notes: Doing alright on head defense.  My kicks apparently allowed my foot to hit right into his liver.

Sparring with stipulation of no leg or headkicks (only rib kicks).

Notes: Did an great job of punching people in the face.  Must thank boxing for that.  Found my range just fine.  Took a few hooks though, not that great at guarding circular attacks.  Think I've finally shaken my ring rust.

Conditioning: Took punches to the gut.  I needed to piss, so it made the drill pretty sucky, but my breathing was just fine.
