A LONG day at the gym yesterday. Went in early to help get my buddy ready for his fight Saturday, and ended up grappling for almost two hours. A pretty intense session that was a ton of fun, and then it went right into cardio class. (Whoops!)
For cardio we did a whole host of drills that just thoroughly wiped me out. Suffice to say, I had to sit out kickboxing so I could be sure I would survive jiu jitsu.
In Gi class, we worked mostly on getting off of the bottom. We began with bridge dribbles, making sure to keep the hips elevated, and feet flat on the mat while you bounce. We then worked dribble circles, and then bridging and turning drills, finishing up with turning to and holding yourself up on your side, keeping the topside leg extended. Continuing using the bridge and bump to get off the bottom, from bottom mount, we bumped to our hip, pushing away the near knee to slide the bottom knee under it, then immediately shrimp back to the other hip, get a near side under hook, and circle around to the other side and break them down to end in side control with a C block. We also worked escaping from old school side control, which is where the person on top has a C block, and is blocking the near side of the head. Bridge up and turn on your head and shoulder, away from their body, turn your hips, and run away from them on your side until you come around to the far side of their body where you can break them down to the mat. We finished off with fifteen minutes of free rolling, and at this point I was pretty spent, but did my best to push the pace. Very fun day, and I'm quite sore, but happy. Looking forward to see what today brings!
