Another Day On The Mat

Wednesday night BJJ class was more guard passing. Rey said "this week is guard passing all week".
It was good to train with some bigger then me! More review on the ground guard passes, but some guard passes are not for big guys not matter how long you trained in BJJ. My training partner I joked that the first guard pass just wasn't for big guys, So my training partner looks over to the smallest guys and say " F@#K You, Small Guys"! They looked over at us asking us "what?" We moved on to the next pass and found it more to our liking, smash, choke and pass. Good for anyone really to use pass the guard.

Next up free training. I called out the biggest guy in class and paid for it. Now I haven't trained for over six months on regular bases. This was only my second day back my thing was just jump in there and get my ass handed me the sooner the better. I was smashed, crushed, and tapped, it wasn't even funny... well it was depending where you were watching from it was. There is always tomorrow.

I rolled again with another purple belt I haven't trained with in a while. I wanted to to work my guard. I played guard the whole time. Every time my partner passed or almost passed, you would " Oh, Man"... My guard sucks and he knows it. Since I was keeping him my guard he wasn't having fun, But I was!

More BJJ this weekend... Kettlebells Firday morning.

Finally Back On The Mat!

Monday night I finally got back to BJJ! I made it a priority to get back to my training, not just my kettlebell training but BJJ as well. It's not that big of a deal, but when I tried it back in December it at lasted I whole two days. This time if different I changed somethings around to make sure I can make it to BJJ class the nights I want to train. 

Class was good, we worked on two standing guard passes. Nothing new I learned then years ago, but this time there were two small details that make worth wild to do them again. It the smaller details we some time miss or over look while training. After that we rolled, I rolled with another purple belt who I haven't trained with since he was prompted to purple. I can say his game has improved a lot. I was impressed by the way he kept trying to work his way back to guard. Something he had trouble with in the past. After we were finished I complemented him on his game has improved! He paid my with one as well, "for a big you move so Fast!' 

After class a new guy, I not sure he was visiting or is new to the school, broke out a kettlebell. I was getting ready to leave when I saw it. Now if it was a Dragon Door Bell I would have been impressed, but it was a GoFit... I leave it at that. He was showing a purple belt what he does with it. I don't know where he learn but his techniques, But my guess was the GoFit DVD or YouTube, It wasn't good.  Worst part he didn't even know the name of the techniques he was doing. Me being the nice guy that I am, I showed him how to do a proper Hard Style Swing. He worked on a little and it was better, much better then the ones I witness at the LA Fit Expo last month. I told the rest to the team that I would be holding a Kettlebell for BJJ training workshop and post it soon. I need to workout some details. 

Next BJJ class Wednesday night!
