BJJ nite:

Drilled more from entering the spider guard frmo full. Worked on really gettnig the hip motion needed to set up submissions and sweeps rom here. Finished by drilling triange and sweep from the spider.

Free roll for 50 min. Spent time really relaxing and transitioning from position to position. Didn't focus on using pysical attirbutes to get things done, really worked thru lots of technique. Including some I'm not that good at to try and build my skill set more. Good roll came out of this.

7-23-09

TKD class: 6:00 - 7:30. I felt like I had some more to put into basics tonight, and I felt really worked. I think I might have zipped through my form a bit fast, but the instructor didn't comment on too much, so maybe it was pretty decent. I did get to spar a 2 minute continuous round with one of the first degrees, and although I think I could have performed a bit better, I didn't feel totally spent after the match. I would have needed more than a minute break to go again, though. I need to get some more sparring in, like doing some round robin work, to get a bit more used to hanging in there. We finished with some back and forth drill work, and then stretched.
