BJJ Class 139

Early afternoon gi class.  It was a really great class.
After a heavy warm-up, we paired off and were told to work on game plans.  It was really awesome as I paired up with a purple belt.  We worked on a game plan from stand up, working up to submission, with variations based on how your [...]

how to tie the belt

While browsing through Youtube, I found this video…Just thought I’d share:

…And just about every BJJ video on tying the belt that I saw after had the same method (finding the center of the belt).
That method is not how I tie my belt though - I don’t like it because it doesn’t look as neat as [...]

BJJ Class 140

Early afternoon gi class. It was the only one I had gone to this week. I’ve just been busy.
I moved this week from the place I’ve been renting for over six years to the place my fiance has owned and been living in for about four years. Packing up took a long [...]

BJJ Class 134

Early afternoon no-gi class.  It was nice to hit the mats again…
Did some solo stretching before the class started with warm-ups.  It helps that even though I had a three week break, I got to snowboard all through-out President’s Day weekend last week, so I wasn’t too out of it.
Technique was a half-guard pass and [...]

Anyway, here’s two video series from other BJJ bloggers I’ve been wanting to share:

Stupid flu and an update

I’ve been in and out of having a fever, together with a steady bad cold lately.  As such, I didn’t train yesterday and won’t tomorrow.  Hopefully I’ll get 100% soon and can train on friday or saturday.  I thank God that this flu hasn’t been worse and it feels like it’s on the way out.
Also, [...]

UFC 94 thoughts

The following are my thoughts and opinions, like it or not….
I dunno, I kinda went thru the whole thing not knowing what UFC 94 was titled.  Was there even a title?  Anyway, as with my other UFC thoughts I’ll avoid fight analysis etc like I’m sure is freely found online.
My sad observance is that there [...]

BJJ Class 130

Early afternoon no-gi class.  I came in tired, since I stayed up late working on fixing up this blog’s template/theme (not done yet), working on a new BJJ website (not launched yet), and schoolwork (where my brain doesn’t cooperate and always decides to call out sick).
Cause of subway delays I came to class late.  I [...]

JJ Machado videos

Just sharing some videos I enjoyed…

JJ Machado vs Ricardo Arona at ADCC. Even though he lost the fight, I was impressed with how JJ Machado rolled. He would make space to try different things, get several submission attempts, and play defense. Ricardo Arona looked like he was just bigger and stronger than [...]

BJJ Class 132

Early afternoon gi class.  Warm-ups were followed with a bunch of cross guard and reverse shrimping drills.  Techniques were variations of the same techniques as in the last few classes.  We’ve been going on one technique and have been adding variations and counters to it.  Today we added variation number 5.  From the position, your [...]
