Yesterday was more arm triangles, which I loved!! We went over everything we did on Tuesday, but the things I picked up and started to focus on more were the small details. Much like an arm bar, there is a checklist of things to go over once you get your entry. Make sure their arm is pushed across the chest, keep your hips out wide from their body so you don't get pulled into half guard, keep your elbow of the arm under their head on the mat (pulling it up may feel like you're adding to the pressure, but it's not), once your hips are out, don't sink your weight back, shrug it up over their shoulders, don't squeeze with your arms, use your weight and your head to create pressure. Arm triangles are everywhere, and for some reason, I really like them. An excellent class, and I am looking forward to next week which is going to be very grappling heavy!
Another day of all sparring in fighter training, and once again, I got my ass handed to me. Things I took away from sparring; hands up, head up, or you'll get uppercutted or kneed in the face, circle right unless turning left and pumping the jab, hands up, don't be afraid to walk someone down just because their bigger than you, use length when you can, and crowd them when you can't, breathe and keep as calm as you can. I started to get a little worked up towards the end, and had to remind myself to not lose my cool, but I felt better about my stand up as the class progressed. My face is lumpy, and while I know I am tough, I need to be better about avoiding those shots instead of taking one to give one. Next week, NEXT WEEK!!!!! As always, I love my gym and my teammates. Speedy has a fight tomorrow night, and the guy has been putting in crazy work. I can't be there in person, but I will be there in spirit cheering him on. GTB SPEEDRO!!!!!
