MMA and me; day 100

Several days late this time, but it's the one hundredth day! Boxing was another intricate combo. It started with a hook parry, into a 2-3-2-catch high-2-3-2. Remember to make the motion for the hook parry very minimal so you don't leave your arm way out of position. Next is a roll-counter-body catch-counter, adding this to the combo; roll-2-3-2-catch body 3-6-2-3-2. It finishes with something new, a slip to a pivot, body 3-2. It feels kinda funky at first, because you want to pivot right away. If you do that, you don't get them to commit to the jab you're trying to slip, and when you pivot, they're ready to counter. Also, as you pivot, you wind up to cork the body 3, and then follow through with the 2. It started to feel much more fluid by the end.

In wrestling, we did a lot of conditioning, and finished off with drilling the double leg take down. First we just worked circling, and finding distance with our rear hand, setting up the shot. We then moved onto the actual take down, making sure to split their legs with your lead leg, and keeping your head as low on their hip as possible. We finished with defending the guillotine choke, in the event that your head gets up to a chokeable position. You bring your far side arm around their back, and your near side arm under their leg, and dump them to their back, landing in side control. I was pooped by the end of class, but felt pretty good.
