MMA and me; day 128

New concepts were covered in boxing yesterday, and some of them need more work than others for me. We started off with a counter, slip, catch 2, which is a straight catch, hook catch, and is the same as the last half of the catch 4. Next were two body catches followed by a rear uppercut, lead uppercut, hook, and finished the stack with a straight. We added to that a pivot right, counter, roll 7, which is seven punches starting and ending with a straight, alternating with jabs, a double catch of a straight and a hook, and finishing with a counter. To end the whole combo, we added a pivot left, hook, hook, straight, catch 2. The whole thing looked like this;
2-3-2-slip-2-3-2-catch 2-catch body outside-catch body inside-6-5-3-2-pivot right-2-3-2-roll 7-double catch-2-3-2-pivot left-3-3-2-catch 2, WHEW! We finished off with partner push up drills, and flutter kicks.

In jiu jitsu we warmed up with shrimping and reverse shrimping drills, getting to the point where you go through the shrimping motion making several small movements instead of one large one. We moved on to forward and backwards rolls, staying as small as possible, went over shoulder rolls, roll-re rolls, and some headstands. Snap arm bar drills came next, just going through the submission bit by bit and hitting all the points we've covered. Hook the near side arm, lean over to create pressure and give your leg a little space to swing around after you flick your leg side foot up to their head. Bring the head side leg all the way around and over their head to completely perpendicular, bring the heel in tight, pinch your knees together, and lean back while pulling the arm. We continued our work with the S-mount next, pulling your foot in tight to the head, and over hooking their far side arm with your leg side arm. Next, swim that arm underneath the far side arm and bring it in between your neck and head, trapping it with your shoulder, and digging your radial bone into their arm just above the elbow. From here you can Gable grip and suck it in, rear naked choke grip, lean back and extend your hips, all for the cutting arm bar. If their arm pops out when you lean back, their other arm is right there for another arm bar. Awesome stuff!
