The Martial Artists' Training Log

[tallgeese]

today-

3, 2 min rounds on the mitt gloves. Spontanous response to presented targets with defese.

20 min instructinal block and drilling on side mount offense

3, 3 min round free roll from the knees

7, 3 min rounds of free roll from standing

my takedown game is getting much more aggressive, the focus on it during the free periods is paying off. The high single is working good any my double leg is getting soother as well. Will start trying to chain stuff together now.

I'm glad to hear that you are starting to see gains in your skill development, tallgeese. Hard work paying off, eh?

We got an email last night at work with feedback on the open-mat DT time we had at the college a few weeks back, and it was good. There was also a schedule out of upcoming dates, with one Saturday for each of the next 4 months set aside. I look forward to the training opportunities.

[tallgeese]

Yeah, thanks .

It's really alot of western wrestling that I'm working hard on integrating to my game. I've got a few guys who've done alot of it so I'm capatalizing. I've trainied with wrestlers before during my college years, but mainly in working on defending the shot and such. Now, I'm really trying to be aggressive with its use.

Prior to that, my takedown game consited of leg sweeps, the occassionaly body lock takedown and pulling to guard.

[bushido_man96]

My Wrestling game is pretty lame. I did it in 8th grade, pretty much sucked at it (I wasn't all that athletic, either), and never went back to it. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have stuck with it, just for the knowledge of the ground game.

[bushido_man96]

Ah, those pesky weddings....well, it only happens once (hopefully...).

Just out of curiousity, Alex, do you still compete?

I was hoping that session 2 would include a DT session, but alas, it wasn't meant to be....

So, I settled for 25 minutes on the bike, and then a stretch.
