NO GI SESSION #1

although ive been to this class before, im classing this as the first one as im taking it alot more seriously now and will be attending on a weekly basis....

the session starts with a big warmup,followed by some drills from half gaurd.like a darse choke but slightly different,next we tried the same choke from mounted position and also when someone is in your gaurd...

i rolled first of all with the guy i was paired up with during drilling,neither of us submitted,it ended with me in half gaurd.next i rolled with a lad i went to school with called micheal around the same size as me,hes been doing it a fair few years and you could tell!! man was he strong, he tapped me out 3 times,had no answer for him at all...
next i rolled with a bloke called luke,would say he was slightly smaller than me but around the same ability,enjoyed rolling with him,both tapped each other out around three times each.

all in all a good session,is very local to me so ill be keeping it up each week...

BJJ COMP #1 5th BRIGHTON OPEN

well guys, i was a little disapointed with being tapped out in my first fight but what more did i expect?? only had like 5 lessons, the atmosphere was great and really enjoyed competing,the hereford open will be the next competition im gonna enter,gaurenteed two fights there i think...
i pulled gaurd,one leg in butterfly,one out, tried to sweep him straight away which failed.I ended up in his gaurd, he went for a triangle,i caught his foot and flipped him onto his back.BIG mistake by me at this point,i didnt keep all my weight down on him when he turtled,i came off to the side to try and spin round so i could be behind him rather than over his head,i had him in side control,he managed to get half gaurd,he slipped round and nearly took my back.i fought back round to be in his gaurd,he went for a triangle again,i tried doing the same as before and missed! he sunk it in and i had to tap!!

video to follow when i can upload...

WEIGHT

ok at work i weighed myself and was 86.8kg with my clothes on, these scales are alot more accurate so im thinking ill be under 88kg with the gi on.still gonna diet like fuck till saturday tho. today all ive had is one protein shake and a tuna salad, when you know you cant eat why are you ten times more tempted??!!

went for a two mile walk today with some hill work just to stretch my legs really,thats it training wise...

gonna weigh my gi so i can know exactly what i must weigh later on...

BJJ #5 AND WEIGHT

so last night was the last hard session im gonna have before competition on saturday.a real quiet class and i paired up with a bloke who had practiced lutre livre (spelling) in germany for six months.basically no gi jiu jitsu from what he was saying.practiced a load of sweeps,throws and bread slices from different positions.man did i feel weak from all the workouts the days before.My dad never made it, he has really injured his knee hope its nothing serious...

my weight last night on the gym scales was 90kg with gi,must weigh more once its wet tho,weighed at end of class. This morning I weighed 88kg bang on without gi on personal scales. if this is accurate i reckon ill make weight (just!!)
