14 - 19 Sept 09
No training this week. I came down with an insane chest cold that knocked me out of the running for the entire week.
No training these two days because of chest cold recovery. I don't like taking my snot and coughing into the gym or the mat.
23 Sept 09 - Jiu Jitsu
I attempted to go to jits tonight and see how it worked out. It ended up being the best night I have EVER had on the mat. Coach worked us on a great basic with the armbar from the guard. I love basics so this started me off on the right foot :) First we started with the basic submission breaking it down into three separate parts. Next we covered a variation that involved your partner defending the armbar and stacking you. To counter this you use your none armbar side to grab your partners leg and sweep him to the side on which you've trapped the arm. Then you finish the armbar like a traditional technique (with a pant leg grab variation).
During sparring I pulled Chelle first. Good roll as always and we worked on moving to positions and securing them. Next I got purple Mark G. I was able to put Mark in my guard immediately and work the game that I am most comfortable with (my guard game). I swept him three times during the roll, took the mount once, and almost secured a solid Ezekiel choke on him. I chalked it up to me being in the zone and Mark having an off night since you usually works me like a rented mule - HA HA! Last roll of the night was with coach. I went for back which he let me have and started working my harness game. I had a solid sliding collar choke on him, but..being the awesome fighter he is he took his time and got out of the choke...as usual. I also got into the mount (which of course I know he let me have) and was able to pin him down pretty well with his arm across his chest and giving him the shoulder of justice (he told me this after the roll). He of course got tired of playing with me and crushed me in the end, but it was a great roll. Afterwards he told me he really liked my attacks and to keep it up. Yeah...I got a big head :)
