Tuesday was...rough. We started out with some cardio, for probably half an hour. Some light jogging, push ups, jump rope, etc. We worked on 1-2s on the bags, and I got to wear the training mask, whoopee! Then we did some light sparring for the rest of class. In jiu jitsu we continued our work with arm bars, going back to the slide through arm bar, and the goofy arm bar. I picked up a couple things; on the slide through, it is very important to go through your check list, because if you do not have your knees pinched together, or their head pinched in tight behind your knee, they can get out much easier. On the goofy, you have to go for it quickly, but stay in tight, or they will just posture up and out of it.
Fighters training, well, I got my ass kicked. Cardio at the beginning beat me down, and I was already feeling it from working hard for the previous couple hours. We worked wall walks with our shoulders, and then had a partner pulling our legs out simulating ground and pound, and we would shrimp to the wall, and wall walk up, and repeat. We then got to the real ass kicking, sparring. I got punched, kicked, taken down, submitted, it was exhausting, and I was almost as emotionally drained as physically. I didn't stop though, and next time will be better!
Wednesday was all technique. Worked on my stance, hand placement, head placement, getting in and out, rolling properly, and most importantly, to NOT BE THERE WHEN THEY GO TO THROW! It's the easiest way to not get hit, really. I know I have a long way to go, but I am doing my best to put in the work, because success is the only option!
