Week of 4/2/12

Monday: Skipped MT due to fatigue and because I had a strange soreness in my abdomen. Then I remembered we were throwing knees at each other through kick pads all day Saturday at the class. For a quick second, I was worried I had a tumor on my lung or something. I have to stop being so alarmist.

Tuesday:
Boxing: worked some combos
1,2,slip,2,3,2,step, 2, roll, 2,3,2,step, 2
1,2,slip,slap,3,2,3,2,step, 2, roll, 2,3,2,step 2
1,2 x5 slip slap 3,2,3,2,step, 2 roll, roll, 3,2,3,2 step 2

BJJ: 
side control escapes:
hip escape, grab a single, finish
use throat/forearm pressure, swim that to underhook, grab belt, get outside leg into hook, recompose. if arm is there, do straight arm bar, or shove it for omaplata.

On top, get right arm on his right arm, left arm on his right knee. Step out and spin him on his back. go knee on belly.

Recomposing guard techniques. Basically just hip escape and face opponent, swing leg around and get a hook.

Today I sucked at bjj. I felt like it was my first day. Raph reprimanded me for being too technical. Telling me that I should treat them as moves to be completed all at one time. He said the Gracies didn't win any category at the most recent comps. Their technical style is no longer dominant. He also said I needed privates. The joke is on him. When 3 people show up for a class, that is a private. Spending a month's worth of class tuition on one night of training is fooling and unwarranted. If I were at Alliance where there are 30 people in a class.. then maybe. For now, I get privates 2x a week.

Wednesday:  MT
Worked the sticky hands parry to knees.
Pads: 1,2,lt kicks, cross block, lt kicks, evade rt kicks, rt kicks
1,2,3,rt,cross block, rt kick, evade, lt kicks

mitts:
1,2,1,2, roll 2,3,2, step 2
1,2,3, roll, 3,2 step 2
1,2x5, slip, 4,3,2,roll,roll,3,2,step 2

BJJ:
Passes open guard (standing):
knee grips, fancy footwork, try to collapse knees together, and go knee on belly
to break spider guard, do a stack, pop hips to shake foot holds, smash pass
knee grips, if pass one fails, smash w/ shoulder, fight there, if that fails, try to keep knees together and walk around to other side control.

retaining guard in this posn: if someone is pass, hip escape, pass far leg over to make wall, push off w/ knees, resquare and recompose.

This week I felt like a bag of dicks at everything. I want to quit. No wonder people just shoot, don't time themselves, don't test themselves, and talk themselves into mediocrity. It's easier than having your ego stomped regularly. I really want to quit today.
