sparring was a mixed bag. I felt sort of slow tonight. I fasted today, so that probably has something to do with it. Ben is back. He hasn't been there for 6 months, and he immediately made me feel silly when we sparred. He's a talented dude, for sure. It's fantastic to have a fighter as a coach. Anthony Nieves seems like a super nice dude, and obviously speaks with experience. I like how he walked around and gave pointers during the spar. I teeped someone while he was bringing his knee up for a check, bruised the bottom of my foot. Icing it now. HURRRTTTSS like a mother.

Tuesday:
AM weight: 183.6lbs
No jits, foot too messed up.

Wednesday: 186.8lbs (had a HUGE dinner, lots of carbs, sue me)
MT: Same combos as monday.
Sparring went a bit better. I still bitch up. I need to try to make it a point to not back up, trust my MT, and just bang a bit. My goal for next monday is to not back up. I will try this in earnest. Instead of covering up, I will punch back.

Thursday: 180.2lbs
BJJ:
I got to the gym early, hit the heavy bag for about 10 minutes, then Jr. wanted to do some light rolls before class. They were probably 6-10 minutes each. So I was thoroughly tired when we started. Then two of Marcel's blue belt buddies came, and I was like "I'm gonna have a bad time". I rolled weak. But I am surviving longer and longer.
De La Riva sweep. DLR hook, grab that side ankle. Shoot hook DEEP across onto opposite thigh. Roll guy forward using the deep hook and sleeve control. come to top or side control
crazy DLR sweep. DLR hook, control same side sleeves. Swim DLR side arm between self and his shin, try to touch shoulder to his foot. Swing non DLR hook out and around. can grab cloth with other non-swimming hand. Get under him and use legs to push him over. You end up in a strange tangle of legs, but mostly on top. Get position.
