I am BEAT.

Was a really good seminar. I learned some useful stuff.

Afterwards I rolled for about an hour. Today I submitted others with an arm bar, RNC, triangle and keylock. I got got submitted with a couple triangles and a neck crank. Was a really good day, I learned alot. I worked a ton from my guard today.

Today's workout -

warm up

chin ups - RI 60 seconds
12x5 at bodyweight
60 total chin ups

weighted push ups - RI 60 seconds
4x14 +20 lbs
56 total push ups

circuit w/ 20 lb weighted vest - RI 60 seconds
bench reactive jumps x10
sit throughs x15 each side
rotating sit ups x10 each side
bridges x10
squats x15
3 rounds

half kneeling cable wood chop - no rest (besides when a guy was working in with me)
down to up 1x10 each side at 80 lbs PR
up to down 1x10 each side at 90 lbs PR

Tyler grip DB static hold -
1x56 seconds each hand at x2 80 lbsPR

EZ bar close grip curls -
1x10 at 105 lbs

supinated grip unilateral cable push downs -
1x12 each arm at 65 lbs

Awesome workout. I wanted to hit 5 sets on the push ups but knew it would be hard. I think I actually made it further w/ the 14 rep sets w/ 20 extra pounds than without it several weeks ago. I could have gone for the last set but I would have been doing alot of past failure reps where I stick my ass in the air and rest between reps. Decided since I knew the circuit would be tough not to go for it. Circuit went well. Sit-throughs are definitely the toughest part.

Time to stretch.

I got my CPR/AED certification today...scored 100. The test was simple, though. It would be pretty bad if I didn't get it all right.

Anyway, now I can send out a photocopied CPR/AED card and get the results of my trainer test.

now I got this cool card with my name on it, oh yeah.

BJJ 10:30-12:00

no gi today. Prepared for the competition tommarow. Worked on sprawls, escaping triangles/passing guard and a couple guillotine subs.

Jammed my thumb and fucked up something in my forearm but nothing too bad. Just sucks jacking something up right before a competition. Hopefully tommarow goes well.

Today we were told to go light and work on technique. I got stuck with a newer guy and I basically sit back to get him in my guard and he is stiffening up and going crazy, clenching his mouth piece and breathing heavy. I'm just swinging my legs around and I get him in my guard and he has a guillotine like head lock on my but nothing dangerous. He keeps holding on and squeezing but he doesn't have it all and he kept asking me if I was ok. After a minute of that I told him he isn't gonna get it and shouldn't waste his energy. After that he went crazy in my guard and was breathing like crazy. ugh

After that I rolled with better guys which was good.

Just think about it this way - we were all there once. I have to do that every time I roll with any of our new guys, they do the same thing to me, just sit in my guard and try for submissions. I always tell them it isn't going to happen and demand they break my guard first and get a pass (it took my guy last night the entire round to break my guard - I could've had him tapping easily).

Good luck with that competition! Let us know how it all goes. I'm getting ready for a special seminar tonight - looks like we're both going to have some fun real soon !

Yeah, I showed him how to pass and let him do it. I got back in guard quickly but let him restart in side control.

Thanks, my parents will be there to film it so I'll post it up. Good luck at the seminar.

tourney went great

I competed in the 202.5 class and weighted in at 188.2.

won 2 by submission, lost one by submission and lost one by points 13-18 on the third placing decision match.

also had one exhibition match with a guy who only went twice. I was gassed but obliged him. It was fun, he technically got the win by points but it didn't count for anything. I was so tired I was just trying to fun stuff.

Another guy was like, "anyone tell you you look like GSP"? We talked about the fight tonight. I had a guy from another team coach me and he was really cool, said I looked really good and hopes to see me again. Another guy said I was great for my experience lvl and said I was going to go places. Tons of fun. The first guy who beat me was really good. The right side of my face is still partly numb from the choke. My buddy got 2nd place in 202.5 advanced.

Man I was was nervous but glad I went.

The guy who submitted me went onto the advanced weight class and one the entire thing. I'll get videos up later.

That's awesome man!

Congrats on the submission victories!

And you do kind of look like GSP from your gallery pictures ().

thanks!

I feel so beat up right now. Both thumbs are torqued, I bruised my sternum and my left ankle is torqued as well. It was a success, though.

The right edge of my face/neck is still numb-ish, I don't know what is going on there I hope it gets better. Watching the video I saw I tapped 7 times before the ref saw the choke.

That's some high quality refereeing there!

fufu

yeah, he missed alot of stuff. People weren't supposed to grab each other's shorts but I saw a ton of that and no warnings.

But he was good overall. It just sucks to see a guy tapping and no one stopping it, sucks even more when it is you.

today's workout -

20 lb vest incline treadmill -
30 minutes at a speed of 4.0, incline started at 5.0 and I raised it 1.0 every 5 minutes so the last five minutes it was 10.0

Just a light day to get in and sweat. I wanted to do a regular day today but I am still pretty sore and I think I should give myself some rest regardless. The last 10 minutes was actually pretty tough.

Good job at the tournament. I still can't believe that guy didn't go to the ground with you when you had him in that guillotine. He should've dropped to the ground used his legs to tripod up, then push your elbow down and take side control or mount - at least that's what I would've done. Still, good job!

the guy in the third video? Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking. I think he was in panic.

thanks man

My instructor and teammates were saying the same. If it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't have the confidence to enter.

Haha You look slightly unhyinged Mr Brynner in your vids.

It also looks exhausting, and you look pretty skillful.

Great work Mr Fu, really impressive showing on a first tournament.

lawl ty

it is very tiring, that is why I concentrate so much on conditioning. It sucks being tired in that situation.

Yeah that was the one. Chokes are scary, but that one isn't one I'd be too nervous about, I hate those triangles and arm triangles, especially with arm entrapment so there's virtually no way to escape -

First Place Florida State Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champions - My guys - "Team Brotherhood"

fufu

Yeah, I find the guillotine the easiest choke to "ride out".

Triangles do suck. My instructor showed us a way escape arm triangles that works pretty well actually. You kind of have to be concious when they are sinking it but you take the trapped arm and make a fist - then take the palm of your other hand and press it against the first of the trapped arm away from the head. Eventually you can grab both arms around a top leg if you turn the side. You wanna pull up on the leg and shrug your shoulders. You are open for getting your back taken or an arm bar, but it is an escape that has worked for me.

BJJ 10:30-12:15

Drilled some takedowns and stuff that was done during the Rob Khan seminar.
I got to roll with my instructor today for ~6 minutes. We didn't submit eachother the whole time. There was alot of transitioning and I got a few sweeps and passed his guard a couple times. I got into mount, northsouth, and had his back at one point(no hooks) actually got to working a couple submissiong on him. Earlier I rolled with the big 250 lb guy in the class. I swept him when he was in mount and passed his guard into side mount.
