02/14

am:

Day of unarmed work at the department. Mostly teaching, but got some reps of ground avoidance tactics. Several rounds of baton work as well, much like the Dog Brothers work. Well, except for the fact that we're mandated to padded weapons, don't armor up, and aren't NEARLY as good. Okay, so NOTHING like the Dog Brothers, but I can dream.

Still lots of good live reps with the stick.

pm:

Drilled randori takedowns, doubles to lift. Running the pipe drills. Counters to choke counters and finished with shoot to lift and carry rounds for conditioning. I really wanted to puke.

25 min free roll.

Bummer about the knee GS. I don't know how it went down but one thing to be VERY careful of with the De La Riva is the angle at which you are to your partner. When you're working it, you should cut the angle to the outside. So, once set up, you should be looking more at the side aspect of the knee than the front of the knee. I've found this to be way more friendly to the my own knees. Especially since mine are not as young as they once were.
