Whew! Good day of workouts. Boxing was incredibly sweat inducing. After warm ups, we worked on the most effective way to defend a punch; don't be there. We hit the 1-2 slip the punch, counter 2, then added a three the second time around. The next combo was the 1-2 roll under the punch, counter 2, then added the 3. My slip still needs work, and my balance when rolling is still less than ideal, but I'm starting to feel really good when I throw my punching combos, and am doing much better at keeping my hands up.
Jiu jitsu was more triangle work, and a lot of discussion about concepts, and ideas. We worked through the triangle-reverse triangle-kimura-cutting armbar-armbar-triangle progression a lot, and that is a heck of a work out on your hips. Afterwards, I free grappled with my brother for a little while, and after he caught me with a really nice armbar (really Daniel, very pretty) I managed to slip a guillotine choke on him, and even things out.
Side note, yesterday was the eight week mark since I started going to these classes, and on day 1, I weighed 241. After leaving class, I hopped on the scale, and I'm now 224. It's good to see my progress physically, and mentally, but I still have a long way to go to hit my goal. What's that? Well continue on this journey and lets just find out together.
