NAGA went well.

I won my first match with 45 seconds left with a rear naked choke. The score was 4-4 just before that, but it didn't matter once I finished it. I remember the ref said "one minute left guys" and so I figured I had to something quick, I got an angle with my hips and scooped around and the rest just came to me. I noticed I crossed my feet which which was a no-no, but I had to choke sunk all the way immediently so it didn't matter.

My next match I lost due to points, 2-6. He took me down with a single leg, even though I tumbled him over and ended up on top. We got reset standing again because we went way outside the ring. He took me down again with a double leg and I almost locked up a guillotine in the process but once I hit the ground I lost it. He grinded around in my guard for a while. He passed my guard when I attempted a submission. He got to north south. I controlled him there with an arm-in hold and tried to get to a better position. Eventually I spun around and locked up a triangle. That is where I got my two points. He was close to tapping, I heard him choking on his breath, but he powered out. I didn't have the proper angle with my body, other wise I think I would have had it. He was just trying to win on points, his corner was telling him to "smother me". They told him to just wait it out and not get caught. He was trying a shoulder jam in my guard, it was pretty dumb, I was never in any danger the entire match. It was lame, he only tried passing my guard with an illegal neck crank and he couldn't even do it. Blech.

I highly doubt that kid was supposed to be in my division. He seemed to have a very limited awareness on submission and I bet he wrestled all through high school.

I'm in the all black.

In all, it was a good experience. I barely had any nerves, I kept my focus way better than I thought I would. Neither guys came anywhere close to getting or setting up a submission and I maintained and worked from my guard well.

I saw Joe Lauzon and Gabriel Gonzaga there. Also that guy from the latest TUF season who is from Boston. Patrick Schultz I think.

Noice, ill watch those later. Do you want to train puching or do you want to focus on ground n takedown stuff...im guessing that appeals to you more.

fufu

I might eventually start training MMA, but for now I just do straight jiu jitsu. Mostly ground work but some takedowns.

just watched em.
yeah exactly how you explained
That was slick with the scoot out and choke on the first guy.
Ohh that triangle.
Yeah definitley looked like a wrestler trying to not get submitted.

fufu

tank you

It was a good experience, I'm not dissapointed but I keep reliving that second match in my head wishing I positioned right on the triangle.

BJJ 7:45-9:30

Drilled a couple kimuras, escape from side control and sweep from guard to side control.

Rolling went well. The first guy I went with(blue belt) I thought I could have finished a submission a couple times but I went fairly conservative and just tried getting him into my guard and playing that game for most of it.

Second guy we went for probably 8 or so minutes and I eventually caught him in a rear naked choke. he had a good head lock and was in side control but I was creating distance with my hips. I felt like I was kind of going out so I bridged quickly, pushed my head out and scrambled to his back and locked up the choke.

Last guy I rolled with I got caught in a triangle in like a minute. I fought it for a good 30 seconds probably. I didn't want to go crazy and squirm/power out and he just kept getting it tighter, so I tapped. The kid has been training like 2 months and I have 50 or so lbs on him. It's kind of funny, I've been tapping out guys with 2 plus years experience and even a guy with 8+ and then I get caught by a kid with 2 months. It's all good though, good to deflate the ego now and then.

BJJ 7:40-9:15

Drilled some pummeling and takedowns. Then drilled real-time takedowns for a while.

Then we drilled some guard stuff and escaping being rear mounted.

Rolling went well. I caught a guy in my first anaconda choke ever, good stuff. Rolled with another guy and had a technical bout but noone submitted anyone, it was good as well.

Today's workout -

circuit #1 w/ weighted vest - RI 60 seconds
explosive push up x5
rotational side throws x5 each w/ MB
MB slam x5
jump squat
3 round

circuit #2 w/ weighted vest - RI 60 seconds
sit up w/ MB front throw x10
medicine ball push up alternating hands 10 total
alternating bent over DB row x10 each side w/ x2 50 lb DB's
lunge walk w/ x2 50 lb DB's, took about 12 total steps
2 round

felt so fucking wasted at this point. Didn't expect to feel that gassed. I needed to take a knee for a couple minutes. Almost quit there but waited a solid 5 or so minutes and went onto the next part.

choked band power complex - RI 60 seconds
10 downward pulls
10 rotational pulls each side
10 alternating rows each side(20 total)
3 rounds

I actually forgot to do the rows when I did the complex so I just did a bout of 60 straight later on to make up for it.

finger static holds -
1x40 seconds at bodyweight. I was holding onto a square wood panel. I gripped it with 2nd distal finger joint.

alternating DB curls -
1x10 each arm at x2 45 lbs

overhead bilateral DB press -
20 repititions at x2 30 lbs

I did the OHP in place of a elbow extension isolation move. OHP's fry my tris so I figured might as well try going light and repping it out and get some more ROM in there.

stretch

Good workout, first conditioning day in 3 weeks, holy shit I had no idea it had been that long. I thought it had been like 10 days. No wonder I was sucking air so bad. I was so damn wobbly. Well now I don't feel so bad. I knew I stopped with the conditioning and did more BJJ before the tourney then I took time off to give my body a break but I didn't realize it had been so long. Although I felt fairly normal up until the second circuit, it just hit me bad.

after a failed attempt of a workout yesterday, here is...

Today's workout -

warm up

circuit #1 - RI 60 seconds then 90 seconds
bw explosive push up x10
rotational MB throw x8 each side
MB slam x8
3 rounds

circuit #2 - RI 90 seconds then 2 minutes
explosive high band face pulls x10 w/ medium jump stretch band
wrestler lunges w/ 20 lb weighted vest xfield and back(came out to be ~45 total lunges, so about 22 per side)
rope jump pull ups x10
3 rounds

power band complex - RI 60 seconds
horizantal wood chop x10 each side
downward thrust x10
3 rounds

bilateral DB overhead press -
1x30 w/ x2 20 lb DB's

bilateral DB curls -
1x20 w/ x2 30 lb DB's

ughhh, wrestler lunges are a little something I made up. It is like a basic walking lunge except you don't fully extend the knees and hip and you are always leaning and driving forward, like going for a shoot. The quads and glutes and contraced the whole time, really tough.

Good workout though.


btw, I do the MB throws into a wall incase anyone was wondering. I don't chuck it, go running after it and then do so again, although that is kind of a good idea.

Yesterday's workout -

warm up

exercise couple #1 - RI 60 seconds
towel dead pullup x10

stretch

Short and sweet. It was pretty tough actually. The jump squat/RDL combo was pretty damn taxing and it just made the row/press part, which is pretty easy on paper, pretty tough as well.

I only did a short workout because I had plans with a friend that got rearranged. I was going to train after we played tennis but it rained so I trained quickly beforehand. A few hours later I played a nice hour or so of tennis.

Felt a bit blase and lackadaisical before and sometimes during the workout. I think it was the three shits I took before working out. When I dump my colon heavily before training I sometimes I feel tired. Finished it anyway.

At least you got a PR on your colon training. With all the 'extra' work it gets, I'm surprised you can keep it in such good shape. (or so I've heard...)

MB circuit - no rest between rounds
50 rotational throws each side
50 slams
25 OHP throws
50 rows
25 OHP throws
50 twists each side
3 rounds

I did all this at an easy pace, just to get heart rate up and get a sweat going. I normally throw/slam the ball with as much power as I can possibly muster, so naturally I can do way more if I just go with the motions. It took me 26 1/2 minutes to complete this.

wowzers. Great workout.

I recovered from those lunges much better than I thought I would. I didn't even feel like bending over with my hands on my thighs like I usually do after something like that. I just walked it out after I was done. Wasn't gasping for air and my legs didn't turn into painful swollen sausages incabable of movement.

After the workout was finished I did feel damn tired though.

that was 3 straight minutes of non stop lunging fun!

very good workout but also very tough. I normally use 60 second RI's on my circuits but today's first circuit was inherently harder than most I do and I wanted to do more rounds.

I wasn't that tired after the lunges, it's kind of strange. I just walked it out afterwards like I did last time.
