Karate Session

Small class this week which is great for extra attention to fix issues / problems (especially since the CI reminded me i need to sit Shodan in March lol). Downside is it can be a killer as is very hard work throughout, nowhere to hide for a moment lol.

 

Ran through grading required kihon, every kata from kihon kata up until Bassai Dai then a few rounds of kumite

BJJ Session

This session revolved around closed guard. First we worked at breaking top players grip and trying to get an arm secured; then built on this with more games / drills to get the arm trapped against body and more of an angle. Reminded myself of a couple of grip breaks i had forgotten whilst doing it which i was pleased with! Drilled triangle from this position a few times but would need a lot more work to be usable as was quite clunky freeing my leg to get it over the shoulder. Then drilled pendulum sweep a few times and finished class with some rolling

The lift felt fine though my grip was struggling at the end of each set. Had noticed the same at BJJ the day before that my grip was a little weaker than i am used to. Will start using grippers again i think to try and help with this
