yamesu, the fun thing about this thread is getting a different persepective on training and see what others are doing. Occassionally, we even link videos to explain stuff which is pretty cool. Welcome.

12/5

Drilled escpae frmo back mount, moved into armbar counter from escape then to D' Arce from escape. Finished with a couple of smashing counters to De La Riva.

30 min free roll

Did focus mitts, unarmed vs knife drills, knife vs knife sparring, clinch focused sparring.

Decided to do some lifting which was cut short by debilitatingly awful music.
