Kickboxing- No revelations tonight. Spent most of the class kicking pads. Mostly kicks I wouldn't use personally in a fight. i'd throw a teep or "push kick" to keep distance or a leg kick, but that's about all. Did some kick checking to counter drills. I think I could use a checked leg kick to set up a single pretty easily.

BJJ+ Did all my sparring starting standing. My wrestling felt good, I was able to control most of the standup. Focused on James' advice to keep their head away at all times. Hit my D'acre chokes and kimuras all night. Took a few incidental elbows and knees though, leaving me with a little brusing around my left eye and my left ear got a bit swollen. Iced both after class.

Back to it

OK, I've been bad about logging my workouts on here.

Squat: 160/20
Bench: 155/3, 155/3, 155/3
Weighted Pull-Up: 35/3, 35/3, 35/3, 35/3, 35/3

BJJ Tonight. I injured my wrist boxing over the weekend, so I'm going to lay off grip intensive moves. No collar chokes or gi based sweeps and control positions. I think I'll try and work on closed guard and controlling the posture. My goal will be to sweep, submit or stand up as quickly as possible. I'm trying to simulate landing in the bottom position during an MMA fight.
