Strength

Box Jumps
2x6x24"
2x3x36"

Squats
3x135, 155, 185, 205, 225
1x 245, 275, 315, 335.. PR


Lateral Raises
Read Delt Fly
Sword Draws.. just accessory work to prevent shoulder injuries and strengthen the back a little before driving over to jiu-jitsu.

Notes: Felt great after the warmup of box jumps and 335 went up real easy.


Jiu-Jitsu
Focused on standing guard passing. Points to remember:
Pop up FAST and HARD
Once the guard is open back out and make space
Grab inside the knees and drop elbows.
When passing "turn the wheel"

If working a knee-cross pass, remember to underhook far arm and use my head to push their face away and control them before passing to scarf.

Rolling
Did guard pass king of the hill. Managed to stay in the middle for a while against other guys and only got out when some kid (who i have a vicious personal vendetta against, well not really.. but i'm not a huge fan of him) adamantly claimed he passed my guard when he absolutely did not. Kept working and probably got in about 10x1min. rounds either defending or working the pass.

Then rolled with a few other guys nogi and got tapped because I wasn't paying attention with a guy that I really need to focus when I'm rolling with.

God I hate little buggers like that.

Fuckers.

kid asks me before class..

"hey man, can i get your advice? i didnt wash my gi and is sorta smells. should i wear it?"

"absolutely not. if it smells nobody will want to wrestle you and.. there's a bunch of blood on that one sleeve. just don't wear a gi tonight."

"no way man, i'm either wearing it or going home."


i think my alpha-male tendency is coming out in force because this kid just got his blue belt and brand new white belts are passing his guard and submitting him. When somebody asks how good he is I want people to point to me and say.. "yeah, he's still a white belt, but he's way better."

worst part about it was that my coach looked at me in disbelief when the kid said he passed. i just let it slide and i saw a bit of disappointment in a few faces.


from now on i'm not playing nice.

sorry... you sorta opened the floodgates.

is he a blue belt under miguel? or a guy who came to the club already a blue?

he just got it. don't get me wrong.. he gives me a heck of a time when we roll and he's definitely deserving of it. i'm fairly sure he's won most, if not all, of the tournaments he's fought in.


but in all fairness, i'm already over the whole sillyness. it's really not in my personality to hold a grudge and / or talk garbage about people, especially because it makes my gym look bad.

Bravo, sir.

I always tell people that fighters don't wear mouthpieces just to keep their chompers safe. We wear them because we don't need to talk shit, when we can do shit.
