12-June Run & BJJ
So went over to train in BJJ today, nipped over early so I could get 20min run in before training. Recon covered about 3miles before the class.
We did some tech and then passed guard and the usual, then some rounds to finish. Was a good class and a decent sweat!
Hope the weight starts coming off and I get close to the 76kg in a GI for the end of the month.

25-May Sprint Class & BJJ/Judo
So 'put up of shut up' mentality is still in effect.
Deceided to make the fight teams sprint class with the Ginja Ninja in charge.
Went like so:
1600m x 1
800m x 2
400m x 4
200m x 6
Comments: Decent rest in between, each round it dropped a little. Struggled on the 400m and above distances, was competive on the 200m!
BJJ/Judo Class was next, did an hour of the class and had to leg it. Good soft rolling and then we did guard passing and work on a sweep from half guard. My flexability was poor and stuggled with the sweep.
Tough 2 hours, but well worth it and impressed that I lasted.
Legs are like jelly as I sit here to write this ;)
Lets keep it up!!!

5-Jan BJJ
Not going to Judo till after the Europeans, so just went to BJJ with Dave last night.
Good warm up, soft rolling at the start. Then some rolls and passing guard.
Decent session, got wacked a few times in the head by a new guy, but all good.

3-Jan BJJ Private...with the boys!
So from the 21st of Dec till the 3rd....I ate, drank and be merry!
Im up to 81kg...so a little heavy.
Meet up with Dave(blue belt) and Mick(purple belt) and warmed up and rolled for a few hours. Good seassion, except for a knee ride and nearly made me sick.
Things we worked on:
Pistol Grip Sweep:
1. Cross pistol grip, tie up both arms.
2. Opp leg into the arm pit.
3. Trun hips out and come to the side on, then kick leg and roll over with your opp.
4. let go of the near arm, as this is illegal for Blues(arm crush!)
Reverse Sweep:
1. Guy goes to break your gaurd and ends up in Combat position.
2. Hook your leg into his standing leg, then tie up opp arm.
3. Kick leg up and pull down arm and follow him.
4. End up in mount.

11-Jan NI jits Open
Weather was so bad here it showed and was -8 at some stages over the last few day. Too dangerous to make the trip up north for the comp yesterday.
Pity I didnt want to bail on this, checked the results and there was noone in the -82kg Blue Belt to even compete against.
