Monday Night BJJ Training
After a good Kettlebell workout this afternoon I went to BJJ class. I like chokes and tonight It was choke night. Rey taught two chokes from side control. One I've used, but like I said before, but it's always good to review any technique. The other I have heard of and seen but never learned it. It a good tight choke that make your opponent tap fast.
Now it was time to roll. I roller with another purple belt. I was on the defense most of the time. Once I got to side control, He gave me his back, but protected his neck until time ran out. Next up a blue belt. He just got maybe six months ago. I totally under estimated him and he caught me with a arm bar, not a solid tight arm bar, but enough to make me tap. After that I made him tap from the mount just by dropping my hips to put pressure on him. After class we talked about his arm bar. He knew it was that tight but he made me tap. I told him he needed to tighten up on the arm more and make sure he more on the shoulder to get a tighter arm bar.
See how I feel tomorrow after working out two times today.

Nothing like a little BJJ and Kettlebells Training
Last Wednesday night BJJ class. We did self defense. It was okay, but for whatever reason I'm not a big believer in self defense. If you have never been in a fight, No self defense will help you in any situation, You have to be able to take a punch or kick to give on. That's just me. When I train in Martial Arts I do the class no matter what I think. I give it all I got to learn what is being taught. I keep my oppinons to myself, unless asked...Again that's just me.
After, self defense training we paired up and rolled. For some reason some the white belts wanted to train with me, that a first, they usually stay a way from training with me because to me size and rank. So I rolled with them, and do what I do with all with belts. See what they know and roll to their level. That lets me work on techniques that I need to work on. With the first white belt I worked my guard. Open and closed. I swept a few time times with omp plata sweeps, one while he was standing in my guard, and the second one from his knees while in my close guard. Then I contiuted working my gaurd until time was called. After class he tells me he was surprise how good my guard was for a big guy... And How flexable I was... I have to give credit to all the years of stratching in Shotokan and now training with Kettlebells.
The nexg guy was another with belt who was a little heavier then me, So this was going to be fun. Just as I thought He came at me like a bat out of hell trying to kill me. So I played possum for a while to let him have a far chance. I finaly had a enough when he tried to arm bar me, so I escaped but him on his back. It's like seeing a fish out of water when a big guy is on his back. I held him in side control until I got my right hand in his collar then the left. Mounted him and choked him untill he tapped. Time was up when he tapped. I normally don't make white belts tap unless that try to submit me, I try to roll with them to help them improve, but when their whole mission is to tap a higher belt, will it my mission to make them think they can then show them how it's done. ...but that 's just me...
