23 & 24th did open mat training just loads of rolling

rested on christmas

relax training this evening, open mats on thurs sat sun and class on friday

got quite lucky with the staph and stumach infection, everything is gone now. will probably not be able to make lightweight now since i was floored pretty badly.

in other news, got money racked up for the worlds & train at cobrinhas for 5 weeks, trained there before for 3 and it was amazing

had some good rolls & drilled some stuff today

trying to work alot on finishing N/S chokes, en all kind of arm in chokes from top position while rolling. got some help with the N/S one which was sweet and hope to hit it tomorrow

drilling
from bottom, practiced my spider guard, and entangling the 50/50 and coming up from the leg drag. spend 3 x 5min rounds each subject with alot of trial & error

tomorrow drills will continue with spider guard, and reflect my arm in chokes & straight footlock, which has been failing over the last weeks.

Rolls will mainly be trying to omoplate/triangle from spider or choke from top. trying not to take the back to work on my chokes from side

last training of the year, had some nice rolls, found out a new wristlock from spider guard when shooting for the triangle and the opponent postures up

back in action on wednesday.. doing conditioning tomorrow evening since the gym is closed. 21 days BJJ everyday until the europeans..

it's always funny how things go in life
i'm fighting thursday @ noon in the middleweight division
my plans to train as much as possible got literally destroyed by a stumach infection, staph, and snow making it impossible to drive

but as with all things, we can either get mad, or laugh and move on.
that being said I feel technically ready for this week, physically , i feel a little bit slow and overweight

my plan is to play my game, which is a stable controlled bottom game --> knee shield to X-Guard and look for straight ankle or loopchokes in the middle. and a fast standing passing game. I feel very confident with my passing at the blue belt lvl and passed everyones guard who i fought over the last tournaments, yet worked alot on it since the last competition.

for the rest i'm going to have out and have fun, smile, and do it because i love to do it, not because I have to
