4/12

75 min free roll.

Worked a couple of new sweeps against higher level guys, drilled some inverted stuff and worked on taking back. A few rounds of no gi (an odd occurrence for me these days) in prep for a charity no-gi law enforcement tourney here in the Chicagoland area. I miss my grips.

You guys can have your accursed grips. I'm taking up Turkish oil wrestling.

In other news, I'm looking forward to Mike gaining skill. Large strong people are good for my development.

Yeah, I really need to keep my shirt on. But, in all seriousness, I've gotten too focused on blunt and sharp objects and the young guys are passing up my grappling skill. I want to train BJJ bad, like so bad.

I also need to drill with my rifle in the house.
