MMA and me; day 38

Boxing class was a return to the fundamentals yesterday. We started with a round of shadow boxing, and from there we partnered up and worked on the jab. After a round of the jab, we incorporated the straight. We proceeded to practice defense, in particular, head movement and rolls. We did a round of rolling under hooks, after practicing changing levels as an entire class. We finished up with the usual plank position, and leg raises, but for five minutes each, instead of three like we've been doing. I really liked getting back to the basics, it forces you to make sure you don't make mistakes, and keep everything clean.

In jiu jitsu, we worked on everything. We started with shrimping, then shrimping with a partner. Then it was jumping guard, and knocking out sit ups. From there we did jumping guard and climbing around your partner, which I am sad to say, I cannot do yet, but I will not stop trying. Then we did triangle drills, and swinging armbar drills. I still suck at the triangle, but am starting to get the hang of the armbar. From there it was just free grappling, and I just wore myself out for the final 25 minutes, trying to tap my opponent, which I did twice, and promptly collapsed. Good times!
