MMA and me; day 231

Managed to get up to Alderwood MMA yesterday, and it felt great. Got to work on a little stand up for the last half of kickboxing, working on my hook and kick combos. I've been focusing mostly on keeping my hands up, because I decided that getting hit in the head sucks and I don't like it. Hands up, circle off, pump the jab, keep your punches crisp and clean, and keep working at it!

We drilled more arm triangles, so I wont go into too much detail there, Elbow down on the mat, and this is where the S grip comes in handy. If your elbow starts to come off the mat, lift your other arm, which should be the under hand in the S grip, and it will pull the other hand up, forcing your elbow down to the mat. I also need to be better at not no-gi grappling when I roll. Grab lapels (cross grip) sleeves (at the end, not the middle), and use them to your advantage! Play the puppet master, get your knees inside their arms, pull their arms out wide and slap on a triangle. It's pretty goddamn fun! Can't wait for tonight!
