1/30/08 - BJJ - Mr. Stuart

Last night was crazy! We warmed up with 5 laps and then Mr. Stuart surprised us with part of the Army physical fitness test. I did:

• 71 pushups in 2 min
• 67 sit ups in 2 min
• 170 something jumping jacks in 2 min
• And then a shuttle run 21 times in 2 min

Then we had about a 1 min break and started rolling! I was partnered with Matt. I had to break his guard within a min. I did. Then I had to get out of his side control and mount in 1 min. I couldn't. After that we rolled for 3 min matches. My first match was against a smaller teenager kid. I was beat so I basically took mount and stayed there for 3 min more or less. Next I went against JD. He crazy. He started throwing elbows to my head and legs and was trying some crazy moves that I think he just made up. I knew I wasnt in danger so I just let him waste his energy. Then I went against Dereck. He's a beast. He tapped me with an Americana from 1/2 guard. I should have never let him get there but I was to tired to even fight back. Next round I took his back and kept it for most of the time. He was really tight though so I didnt really get much other than his back.

After class I took a 2 min break and then rolled with JD again. He was trying some of his crazy stuff again. I almost got him in a triangle. I wish my legs werent so short! But then tapped him with an arm bar.

After that I thought there was open mat but appearently there wasnt because everyone left. So I joined the cardio class.

BJJ - 01/16/08 - Sa Bom Nim

So I haven't blogged in just about 2 months. Thats because I unfortunately have not worked out for that long. Iv'e just about gained all my pre-tourney weight back as well. It started around Thanksgiving. Then it was the boys birthdays. Then Christmas, New Years, and two weeks in Texas. But tonight was my first night back and I loved it.
