MMA and me; day 42

Well, there's not a whole lot to tell about boxing class yesterday. Warmed up by jumping rope for ten minutes, shadow boxed for two rounds, and then threw one thousand jabs. That's correct, one, zero, zero, zero. To say that I has a sore shoulder afterwards would be an understatement. I think for the most part my form was good, and I'm getting better at keeping my hands up, but 1,000? Damn.

Jiu jitsu was very cool, as we worked on leg locks and kneebars. We first did a leg lock flow that went something like this, break the guard, drop for an achilles lock, move to the toes for a compression lock, then a toe hold, heel hook, back to the achilles lock and finish with a half crab compression lock. None of them felt particularly nice, and after the coach had me in the heel hook, I can see how it blows peoples knees out. After that, we worked on kneebars, and those are pretty damn cool. There are a multitude of entries, we worked specifically on spinning out of half guard, sitting on your opponents stomach, and grabbing around their leg with your elbow pit in their knee pit and securing a rear naked choke grasp. From there, fall to either side, keeping your butt up against their stomach, pinch your knees together, work your grasp up to the heel, and lean back. Pretty nasty, and a lot of fun!
