Friday night training

I ended up making to Rey class to train. Friday nights are open mat, or free training. I warmed up and rolled lite with a blue belt. We worked on passing the guard. I need more work on my guard and sweeps. We rolled for about 15 minutes and took a rest. Next I rolled with another purple belt. He's has is tought for 180 lbs. We went at for about 10 minutes before he got me in an armbar. I gassed out, even if I hadn't he would have tapped any ways. I rested for about another 15 minutes and we went at it again. The time it lasted for about 15 minutes, and again he caught me in another armbar. I didn't gas like the first roll, he caught me with a real nice set up I gave him trying to roll from all fours.

It was a great training session, the first I had in a long time.

Wednesday Lite training day

I had to get to the office early this morning so I had to cut the work out short like Monday's, But today I worked out a little longer.

For cardio I rode my spin bike while watching ADCC 2005 DVD. Before I knew it 25 minutes passed by. Even though I was at ADCC I didn't get to see much. When You work an event like ADCC you have to choices, watch or work hard so the event runs smooth. I choose to work, a lot of people where counting on me to get things done for this event.

After Spinnng I did 3 set of 10 dips and 2 sets of 10 pull up. Not doing there exercises for a week was rough.

Home and Training

After a short weekend and lots of relaxation I started my training this morning. I did Cardio first, Spinning for 20 minutes.

I made it to BJJ class as well. We worked on X guard sweep and a take down from the X guard. Since I had been on the mat for a week I was sucking wind during drills. :(

I rolled for 5 minutes with a another purple belt. He has a great open guard that is tough to pass. When I did pass it was short live he would recover guard and work sweeps. He never sweeped me, but I was always on the defense.

I rest for 10 minutes and called it a night.
