Tankweazel Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's amazing how much time you have when you put down the remote/keyboard/joystick...and your friends/family are mostly at the gym/dojoSpot on with the friends and family. I see my actual family after training at the weekend, except for that birthday dinner where I rolled out of bed, went to their and slept till dinner was ready.

Tankweazel Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I thought "Judo" is Japanese for "The Gentle Way." And "Jujitsu" is Japanese for "Gentle Techniquies."It is, and I can be gentle and float and am happy to when that's the pace of practice dictated. (You could ask some BJJ guys the difference between me and comp me)But too often every one is wanting to go "gentle" then firing into 100% mid round. Quote "Gentle means tired."

Tankweazel Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Sunday:BJJ at 10th planet. "Berimbolo is the hardest part of today" nah it's the easiest. Doing lots of nice movey things and being pretty good at putting pressure on when starting from standing.Unfortunatelt I won't be going back as I was partnered with a novice on some pretty nasty submissions (risky enough) and had another novice try and rip my ankle off (even with tapping) during rolling. Not at all apologetic, I probably came across as a bit grumpy, but imagine wanting to train in a safe environment.Monday:Squat: 137.5x2Squat Drop Sets: 131x2x6Bench: 85x2Bench Drop Sets: 81x2x4Flat Bench: 70x4Flat Bench Drop Sets: 67x4x2Assistance: bent over row and bicep curls BJJ Fundamentals: Passing guard and arm bar control from mountBJJ Advanced: Taking the back and RNC, Crucifix or ashi gatame (what's it in BJJ?) to finish.BJJ Rolling: took one five minute rest just over half way through, I'm probably back in good condition but not quite back to technically sharp.
