Warmed up with review of half uard sweep and transition to x guard.

Big focus on getting my spider guard sweeps fine tuned. Lots of time focused on top game and pressure. Played a bit of inverted as well.

Conditioning. There is nothing more frustrating than working knee in drills on the swiss ball.

signed up for the IBJJF winter open in Chicago next month. luckily, it does not look like I'm going to need to cut weight.

I'm trying to really start training hard by myself again now that I don't have the awesome TKD workout three times a week. This is what I did today. It doesn't sound like much, but it took me about an hour--

warm up-- 50 4-count jumping jacks, 50 situps, 20 girl pushups (can't do regular ones yet)

20 each leg-- front kicks, round house kicks, side kicks, squat then front kicks

twenty each side-- high block punch, middle block punch, low block punch

kata Kyozai 10 times, kata Chinto 5 times

last time I did the workout I added going from one side of my house to the other with each of the kicks and the upperbody combinations, but I was doing laundry at the same time, so I had piles of laundry blocking part of the way.
