Bushido man- it was actually real easy to get on on him. As it turns out, he's pretty well proportioned. I used an old karate gi rather than tie up one of my heavy gis on him as well as my original white belt from eons ago. That way, I can grip and use it for memory building. The only down side is that the sleeves tend to ride up and collect in the joints fo the shoulder and arm. After a session, I usually have to re situatethem to hang properly.

today-

BJJ nite:

Drilled from half guard all night. Worked position and submission series from the bottom and countering the half guard from the top.

5, 5 min rounds of free roll at the end.

That's it. Sleep has been hard to come by lately due to the job. Need to do family time too.

8-11-09

Lunges: 25x10x3

TKD class: 6:00 - 7:30. Thought I'd be worn out for this, but it went pretty well. First class in a week, so it was good to get back into it. Sparring went pretty well, and I worked on using angles more, and attacking with front kicks. My left big toe is going to pay for that...

[tallgeese]

Both of my big toes are permanently taped during training anymore. Between impact and turf toe they are always killing me.

today-

back/bis/abs

15 min of drilling half guard series and crushing the half guard on Boomer.

3 mile run

Weight is right on for a tourney in 2 weeks time. I'm waking up under weight already. I'd like to keep dropping for a NAGA next month, but I don't want to get too low and short change myself for the weight classes in this one first. I'm thinking of splitting the difference and being a little lighter than I need to be for this one, but low enough to make the cut for the next.

One day I want to be good enough that I can wrestle at my natural weight

[bushido_man96]

That sounds great, tg. At this upcoming tourney, are you going to compete Gi or no-Gi?
