The Martial Artists' Training Log

[Tzu-Logic]

Last night was free sparring for an hour. Got the crap kicked out of me by a black belt my left leg is so sore. I told him not to go easy on me though. I wanted to see what i could do.

I ended up tapping him out once though. he tried to take me down and i got him in a guillotine choke and made him tap! He was so proud! then he tried to do it again and i tried to choke him again, but his sweaty head slipped out from my arms and i ended up getting headbutted real hard in my chin. My tongue was bleeding for a while and i didn't do any more sparring the rest of the night...

So i did pad work with a lower belt for the rest of the hour. Then I learned some nifty ground fighting tips and tricks from my instructor.

after free sparring it was formal class time.

Helped a friend of mine who is two belts down from get ready for his belt test that is coming up in a couple weeks. Reviewed his techniques and forms with him. Helped him refine his drills a little bit. I didn't really learn too much new stuff (except for a couple ground fighting things)... but i always enjoy helping lower belts practice. and it's a great review for me.

all in all a great night!!!

today-

Drilled over hip bump sweep to kimura to triangle.

45 min free roll

Nice combo! How many reps before free roll?

[tallgeese]

Hey nation, we do about 45 min worth of reps before we start free roll.

Starting with the posture and basic movement, then building on so the core basics are drilled over and over again. My coach is really good about drilling in fundimentals and hitting all the steps to movements. His approach has really been a boon to my game.

today-

BJJ nite:

Drilled half butterfly guard to triangle, to arm bar, to shoulder lock, back to arm bar based on your partners reaction. Finished with reps to taking back from the same position with an arm drag.

Free roll for 45 min.
