Week 25 and 26

Week 25 was a bad week for training, the finnish traditional midsummer came and I also injured my back alittle. So I only trained on monday and tuesday. Wednesday was sidelined and on thursday I whent to this music festival to enjoy the midsummer with some friends, I problably don't need to tell you there was plenty of alcohol involved... sigh!

Week 26 started great, a friend of mine who is a no-gi specialist ;) Came to our school to hold a seminar, it's still on going. This week I've trained so far:

Monday morning: no-gi 90min, evening BJJ 90min
Tuesday: MMA 90min
Wednesday morning no-gi 90min

I will have to work tonight, so I won't be able to train this evening. Too bad :( I've really enjoyed rolling with him, esspecially no-gi in which he is very very good.

Tomorrow and on friday we will train again and on friday we will hold a tournament within our own gym :)

BJJ class monday 15th June 2009

I felt some back pain in my lower back for some reason, maybe I slept in a weird position or something. Oh well.

We started running around, doing all kinds of stuff, jumping etc. Then we did somersaults on the ground, forward and backward. Piggyback carrying, squats with a partner, push-ups etc. Just a few reps, didn't want to exhaust people. Then we did the standing monkey climb a few laps, you know the one with one guys standing and the partner starting in back mount and climbing around the guy standing as if he was a tree or something.

We then drilled a comination of armbar, omoplata and finally the triangle. You started with the armbar, the other guy postured up so we changed to the omoplata pulling the guy down and he postured up again and we got the triangle finally.

Techniques included a collarchoke from guard and an armbar when the guy defended the choke. When also looked at a sweep from guard from which it's nice to move to a side choke.

We rolled maybe 6 or 7, 5min rounds in the end. Nice rounds, I got a sweep to work that I've been working on lately on another blue belt. I've been doing it to white belts earlier, so I wasn't sure if a blue belt would fall for it, but he did :) That kinds made my day, hehe!
