Double dose today, though the write up for Monday is fairly short. Did 30 minutes of circuit cardio, and then mma sparring for about an hour. Pretty awesome, and with such a small class, got lots of rounds in with similar partners many times, awesome!!
Yesterday was a long night at the gym. Got there around 5:45, and hit mitts with Jeremie for about half an hour, then we kickboxing sparred for the next class, about an hour or so. In gi club, we went back to our arm bars and worked on the snap arm bar (from side control, over hook the head side arm, windshield wiper flick your leg side foot up to the head, sweep the opposite leg around and over the head, and then snap back to knees pinched, under hook deep, hips elevated, extending the arm.) The arm bar from guard (covered previously) and then a new counter to your opponent pulling his arm out from an arm bar from guard attempt. As you cover both arms, open your hips, and cut the angle for the arm bar, they pull the arm in trouble, out of danger. Since you have the other arm pinned already, what you need to do, is slide your head side knee across their neck, until the top of your foot catches on their neck. Next, spin on your back and hip, so your head is on the opposite side of their body. As you spin, swing your other leg around their head, pinching your heel on the opposite side of their neck, and viola! The arm is in your lap, waiting to be cranked on. This arm bar feels really tight, and as long as you keep your checklist thorough, you will get the tap.
In fighters training, we pretty much rocked out half an hour of cardio, and then an hour of sparring. My stand up is getting more comfortable, but I still need to work on the details. Stop dipping my head, circle more and cut angles, and keep mu dang hands up! A very fun past couple of days, and I am REALLY looking forward to competing in January!
