Kickboxing:

3 min jump rope warmup
Approximately 45 minutes of focus mitt combinations: mainly punches and knees today

Jiu-Jitsu (Nogi):

Half guard sweeps:

• Push over: After getting double underhooks, try to reach down and grab opponent's NON-trapped foot. Once you have it, whip up to the side and force all of your weight into them while simultaneously pushing against them.
• Slip Sweep: From double underhooks, slide arm down and underhook their non-trapped leg. Remembering to keep head TIGHT to their hip, explode out the back door and immediately release half guard in order to control opponent.
• From failed Slip Sweep: If opponent posts out both hands and stops your from being able to slip out the back door, slip the outside leg of the half guard under their leg. Going against conventional ideas on half guard, lay flat on your back and, all at once, lift opponent with the foot on their hip, spin to opposite side, and land in their guard on the balls on your feet, ready to pass.
• Kimura Sweep:
• Breakdown at the end of sweep: if opponent makes it to turtle position following a slip sweep, grab ahold of opposite side arm with both hands (one over, one under) and push into opponent until they flatten out, leaving you in side control

Rolling:

3min. rounds with Mike and Ken. 2 on and 1 off rotating. Did about 8 or 10 rounds total.
