BJJ 10:45-12:15
Did some drills on passing guard to side control and some arm bar variations. I got to roll today for the first time today at this school. It took a little convincing to get the head instructor to let me roll because it was only my 3rd class at this place and I didn't get the "ok" from the two head owners who run the place. I explained that I trained at another place for a few weeks and that I had rolled before. So I rolled with a blue belt(funny they didn't put me with another white belt) and it was great. I never felt in danger and I was able to transition to alot of different positions. I failed a decent guillotine attempt and was able to escape mount a couple times and escaped a choke. I got into a good arm bar position but my opponent decided we should stop at that point and he showed me a couple things I was doing wrong. Great first experience. I never grinded out with my strength and didn't tire. I was ready for some more rolling after that but didn't get a chance to. The guy asked if I had wrestled before, I think everyone I have rolled has believed me to be a previous wrestler, not quite sure why. |

I think if you're pretty strong and forceful that they must think you've done some wrestling. Maybe it was just me, some of them asked me similar questions - of course I found out that quite a few of the guys I'm with have had a lot of prior wrestling experience (my friend wrestled for 10 years and another was a wrestling champion in Illinois I believe), so they might be just assuming the same is true for everyone.

A lot of the guys that I train with who have wrestled or are currently wrestling do a lot of deadlifts and most likely a slew of Olympic lifts. One of them even reminded me that when doing a standing guard pass you need to force your hips forward as you're standing, like in deadlifting, to keep balance and prevent your opponent from sweeping you.

Today's workout -
warm up chin up ladder - 1,2,3,2,1 scheme 5 rounds + 1,2,1,1 50 total chin ups push ups - RI 45 seconds 10x10 front squats - RI 45 seconds 10x5 at 135 lbs DB swing - RI 90 seconds 3x10 each side at 65 lbs (20 swings each set) decline Russian twist - RI 60 seconds 3x12 +25 lbs Tyler grip DB static holds - RI 90 seconds 3x30 seconds at x2 85 lbs PR Awesome workout. I just had enough for the last set of DB holds, let go right right as the set ended. I didn't know how I would fare on the front squats. They weren't as bad as I expected. The weight was really light but I was doing several sets after upper body work so I didn't know how I would fare. The fatigue level from sets 5-10 was pretty much constant. It was tiring but not body numbing disorienting tiring from Buglarian squats from last week. Could have kept going for a while on that. Everything else went well. |

BJJ 10:30-12:00
Worked on arm bars, triangles, defending triangles and defending RNC. Got to roll a little bit, not as much as I liked. Got subbed once by a collar choke.

Hehe, good job man!
I always call my Gi an oven bag because my instructor likes to turn off the air conditioner and let it hit 90+ degrees with all that nice humidity! I sweat straight through my Gi on those nights. I know when I defend against RNC's I just grab really tight and high on my Gi collar with both hands and look in the direction of the other guy's leading hand, then begin to try and roll that way. Even if I can't roll out and get away, this will still frustrate the hell out of him and he'll probably give up on it (doesn't have that much time anyways). Man, I'd be tired too after an 1.5 hours of BJJ and then a strength workout. My place only gives us an hour, so I might have a strength training session followed by one hour of BJJ. Then I usually feel like an abused wet wipe .![]() First Place Florida State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champions - My guys - "Team Brotherhood"

Awesome morning.
I want to get try something this summer, whether that be BJJ or some other style. Have you been doing it for a while? I feel like I'm just now starting to see it. |

Will you be in Boston during the summer? There must be tons of places to train down there. I could try to figure out what my instructors recommend in that area if you are curious. The place I train is in Pittsfield, you have probably heard of the town. |

Haha, well it sounds like you have tougher conditions and and a tougher warm up. I'd like to stay there for another half hour and just train open mat. I am so damn tired though, I felt like leaving the gym in the middle of the workout and I never get that feeling. I am taking next week off from heavy gym training to recoop. At the older place I trained at it probably got around a humid 90 too. My shirt would be soaked completely. by the end. Sweating through the gi must take quite alot I must say. |

As far as Pittsfield goes, thats pretty far west from what I can gather. It'd be fun to train with/at the same place as you, but I can't imagine how I'd be able to make that kind of a commute on a regular basis. If I go out to Mass for the summer, I'll definitely be in need of some help in finding a good gym to train MMA/BJJ at, so thanks for the help. Finally, you say its awesome stuff... I feel like if I do it, I'd be hooked from the get-go. Is it something you'll be doing long term or just in the winter? |

BJJ 10:45-12:30
Worked on take downs, escaping mount, escaping side contol, escaping from back mount/hooks drilled some arm bars and triangle and rolled for three 4 minute rounds. Take downs felt good, but that is definitely the most tiring thing of the day. I was always the one iniating the clinch and felt I could defend any of his take downs if I was really determined. The rolling at the end was really fun. I did all three rounds with a guy that has been there a couple months longer than I. I escaped all of his submission attempts and was able to control him pretty well. I had one really good arm bar attempt that failed. I think I could have got it but I didn't want to really try to crank it, I kind of let him off the hook. During the 3rd round I sunk a rear naked choke. Felt gooood. Today is by far the funnest day.went to the gym after for a tiny workout although today was pretty tough on the mat. chin up ladder - 1,2,3,4,5 scheme 2 rounds 30 total chins 1 set of 30 push ups Was alot more tired than I thought. stretch I will be taking time off from hard gym training now for 5-7 days. |

I like to do it that way also. I don't mind taking time off that much because I still have grappling to do. I've been training pretty hard for the past four weeks and a break should feel good.

Today's workout -
warm up chin ups - RI 60 seconds 10x5 50 total chin ups push up ladder - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 scheme 1 round + 1,2 67 total push ups back squat RDL combo - RI 60 seconds 8 reps each at 185 felt like shit, decided not to continue decline Russian twists - RI 60 seconds 3x12 +30 lbs Tyler grip DB static holds - RI 90 seconds 3x15 seconds each hand at x2 90 lbs PR seated alternating DB curl - 1x15 each arm at x2 40 lbs overhead EZ bar cg elbow extension - 1x15 at 80 lbs felt like shit going into the gym and leaving. Actually yawned during the workout. Pissed I couldn't fucking deal with the lower body shit. Shouldn't have worked out today but I am supposed to get a big storm today and tommarow and might have to miss some BJJ/gym so wanted to stick a workout in there and balance it out later. Low carb, low sleep not enough days off and shitty motivation = shitty workout. time to stretch |

Heh, I yawn almost every workout. In fact it seems working out makes me yawn more than anything. Only catching my breath stops me really. Shit, now I'm yawning behind my PC...

Fufu is just used to the Chuck Norris workout. The one where all you see is a cloud of smoke, some fists and a few bodies flying around. That's what he means when he says he is doing body weight, he didn't say he was doing his own body weight.

BJJ 10:30-12:00
Drilled arm bars, arm bar failure to triangle, arm back failure to triangle failure back to arm bar, escaping triangle to side control and escaping triangle to knee bar. I got to roll for 5 minutes at the end. Almost had an arm bar, gave it up because I didn't want to force it too much and my opponent almost had me with a collar choke. Neither of us submitted the other. stretched for about an hour |

You pick a scheme then do the repetitions. You have a partner. So you do 1, they do 1, then you do 2, they do 2. Whenever your partner isn't doing them you do and visa versa. I don't have a partner anymore so I just imagine someone else doing them.
