Week of 7/16/12

Monday: 192 (this will get under control starting now). Did some KB work in the basement. probably 150 swings, 3 sets of 8 shoulder presses, 3 sets of 15 bent over rows, and some one arm cleans.

Tuesday: Boxed for 1/2 an hour, then realized I didn't have an hour of that in me before BJJ. I keep hitting some wall in boxing. I can't do it, it's too exhausting for me.

BJJ:
worked a forced turtle position.
get the same '2 inside' arm position like you would be going for a pass, but instead of putting his knees to his chest, get onto a knee and lift and force him to roll into turtle position. You can end w/ a knee in his ribs, w/ over under grips.

do the same, but  if he resists rolling, you can go for a keylock, he'll probably roll toward that arm to defend, quickly take the space away by scooting the knees into his back, you can mount or take back as needed.

Counter:
from turtle, protect your neck on the side the opponent is on. lift the far knee up into your chest, and insert it across as you fall to your back. You can pull guard or 1/2 guard this way.

Did some good drills from here. I was having pretty good success both pulling guard, AND preventing others from pulling guard when they were on bottom.

MT:
combos:
1,2,switch,lk, cross block, evade teep, 2xright
1,2,3, rk, cross block, evade teep, 2xleft

mitts: 1,2,1,2 block rt body, rtuppercut, 3,2, step, 2 switch left knee
1,2,1,2, block rt then left body, lft uppercut, 2, 3, 2, left body shot, 3, rt knee

Sparring- I did well enough in sparring with everyone but Thomas. He takes a lot of boxing classes and can out strike and out aggress me easily. I'm still bitching up when I get hit hard. He hits with lots of flurries and can land punches at will. This is frustrating to me, and the more I get hit, the more frustrated I get. I need to work on circling and hitting back. I think maybe wearing my headgear will help this for me. I need to get over being hit. I'm still too scared.
