MMA and me; day 120

Boxing boxing boxing! It's funny, when I first started at the gym, boxing was hardly my favorite. Now, I can't get enough! We covered the same stuff we did on Tuesday, with a slightly different wrinkle at the end. We started with the lead straight, into a roll-straight-hook, followed with the straight slip stop, jab slip/stop, roll-roll-straight-hook-straight. Next was the Guzman slip sequence, followed with a roll-straight-hook, roll-hook-straight, but then we added the wrinkle. There was one more roll, then a pivot off-body hook, then finish with a hard straight. So from the sequence on day 118, this was the added segment; roll-pivot off-body 3-2. We drilled the overall combo for two rounds each, finished with partner push ups, and partner leg throw downs. It was then on to jiu jitsu.

We worked on stretching for a bit, then we drilled one move for a good chunk of class, the snap arm bar from S-Mount. From the mount, post one of your legs out to the side, and slide your other knee up just above their head. With your arm on the side of the posted out leg, under hook their opposite side arm under the forearm, and grab the tricep. From here, lean forward and over the posted leg, swing your other leg over their head (keeping their arm hooked elbow pit to elbow pit) put your boot on with both feet, pinch your knees together, then pull down on the end of their arm while arching your hips until they tap. We finished off with 15-20 minutes of live grappling, and I worked a lot of starting from standing with Morgan to help him prepare for his tournament at the end of June. The guy is getting good, and is working hard. Hope I'm helping!
