Friday 7th March.

No Gi Class

Warmed up with calisthenics and jogging/sprints on the spot.

Rolledx5 minute rounds

Saturday 8th March

Open Mat

Rolled for about 90 minutes with Dan, had a lots of trouble passing his guard. I showed him some stuff with the De La Riva guard a few months ago and he has picked it up really quick. Last 10 minutes or so were from standing at a high pace, lots of scrambling back to feet if we ended up in guard.

Saturday 15th March

6 weeks to next competiton at Seni so switched to SPP, based around Scott Sonnon's Charlie, Sierra, Tango protocal. I am a blue belt so fight 6 minute matches, last year to win you had to fight 3 fights (SSH is a small catagory so don't think they will be many more this year) so will use 18 minutes for Charlie and Tango and 3x6 minute rounds for sierra.

Medicine ball complex x 3

Charlie: 1 round starting on each minute for 18 minutes

3xsandbag cleans
6x24kg kettlebell jerks
9xSquats

Did 3 rounds but my technique on the cleans isn't good enough yetfor a work out like this where I need to do the exercise fast. Decided to swap out the jerks for push ups.

3xsandbag cleans
6xpush ups
9xSquats

14 rounds in the 15 minute, one round i didn't complete in the minute so rested the rest the next minute.
