MMA and me; day 167

Monday started with an hour on the treadmill. Ran two and a half miles, then knocked out a 400 calorie burning program. I was all sorts of sweaty by the end, but it felt damn good. In jiu jitsu, we worked on the five point arm bar, which breaks down like this; 1) from guard, reach across your opponent and grab their opposite side tricep 2) on that same side, place your foot on their hip 3) with your other arm, push on the side of their face opposite the arm you have isolated while you 4) push off their hip with your foot, and swing it around to the side of their head that you are pushing away and then 5) extend your hips for the tap. As always, make sure you're going through your arm bar checklist (knees pinched, boots on, pulling on the end of the lever, etc..) Next we drilled climbing up your opponents body with your legs while they're in your guard and getting your legs over their shoulders. From here, you can either turn your hips to the right or left and snag an arm bar, or trap both arms and extend your hips for a double arm bar, nasty. Last, we worked on the arm bar/triangle/omoplata drill, before grappling for the last portion of class. A solid class, and first time I've had one run by Ben Speedy Wada. Hell of a class, hell of an instructor!
