[ngarauru]

Wednesday
Off to the sister gym for Gi class.
We drill some 'headquarters' to bullfighter/ knee cut:
Get pants grips, step one leg deep into the back of ukes knee, drop the weight of your chest/pelvis into their other shin, simultaneously pull collar up hard on same side as 'entry' leg, keep elbow of this arm tight to uke to prevent under-hook-pass 1) other hand pushes knee in, kick 'entry' leg out, simultaneously cross hands/ push pants grip/ pulling collar grip to pendulum uke's head in your direction and their hips away, big step then little step to come to knee on belly, anchor far leg far out....Leandro would be proud-pass 2) push pants grip in then out, drive 'entry' leg knee into this thigh and sit into their hip, get a good cross face, put your knee on the floor, do not baseball slide - sit in uke's lap then switch hips tight to come to side control, any grips on the seams of the gi are goody good.

Then roll 5*5min rounds: I try spider guard, collar drag, triangle set up and frame/grip/control from guard.
Big dog shows his shoulder walk to prevent stack.

Monday and my feelings….nothing more than feelings

What did I Iearn last week?

• Pre-emptive framing
• Hip placement/ movement
  
• Headquarters to bullfighter and knee cut
• Shoulder walk to prevent stack
• Cross face when passing
• Cross collar and stiff arm defensive sit out/ stand to back take
• Rolling omoplata from sweep/ double sleeve pistol grips
• Hip flexibility and yoga
• Animal walking and less herky jerky body punishing routine
• Stop doing knee circles!!!

I spent chunks of the weekend doing a hip flexor stretching routine, about an hour a day.
Ate a lot of carbs, peanut butter, oats, chicken, vegetables and fruit, feel fuckin' good mang.
Did the animal walk, hip stretch, track knees forward, minor bridge and lymphatic drainage.....

Mid morn I went in to do more of the same and had a really tentative roll with a competitive blue, he showed me details for double under/ stack, he added detail of placing a knee in the back and hold far shoulder to prevent opponent moving away, drive your weight behind the knee opposite to the side you're passing, try and push it into their face, use the arm holding the shoulder to get into their throat making the stack as unpleasant as possible.
Also did re guard, snake movement and shoulder prehab.

Spend time this week doing fundamentals in rolls, don’t worry about subs……maybe get to a rnc…

Meals
1)3 bix, 1/4C almonds, 1/4C sultana, pear, apple

Tuesday
Perc and bike
Did a little stretch and said hello to the peep holes....

Coach beard is back, we do turtle play, the main technique we drilled:
Sit in uke's back with toes out, wedge a knee into their side and push, trap the far arm at the elbow, when you feel resistance pull, get kimura grips, 'put your hand on their watch, put your hand on your watch, look at the time', pull your elbow under their chin, pull their forearm to the center of your chest so it aligns vertically, simultaneously s mount, suck their arm in and dog leg, you have the kimura - use your body to turn the arm like a water sprinkler.
We drill this a minute each and then switch partners.

Roll for 20 at the end of class: wrestler homie, dude is a little unpredictable with his explodes but we mostly ok, but I fear for my joints and spine lerl. Also rolled with blue uke and new new trying to escape and pass without strength.
Went back in mid morn for a little bit of drill and stretch and then I see lanky blue getting warm so ask for roll, he smiles and yea bro's, I mostly watch him control me, the main control I see is where he jams his knee into my hip to prevent me from re guard, he gets to positions where he chokes me at will if he wants, I mainly try and get to headquarters and step by guard, he uses other side dlr hook to catch me, get to ok rolling omo from last weeks Friday gi class, he gives me around 10min of his time, more lols at my suck, thank yous and oss to main man and other good cats, out.

Meals
1) Up and go, protein and carb energy sugar drink, 2 apple, 1 banana, 1 mandarin, shots.

Wednesday
Gi class at sister gym.
I'm late and I'm stiff this morning.

We drill two techs from spider, one is spider to single X which is pretty straight forward once I'm warm, the key is to use marionette to get under uke, the other is spider to hip to the outside of uke's legs, the leg that's close to uke's should hook around the back of uke's knee, keep one spider grip, use it to drive uke over that shoulder, the key is push away from direction of sweep then push with spider grip and pull with leg hook.

Then we roll for 5*5's: I sit to my fuckin' back again, I did an ok frame and got to ok straight ankle, had to release as uke tried to spin out of it without prizing off my hook.

Big dog gets pants grips and just moves from side to side passing at will, can really see the supreme joy is he just flies right by my legs, it must be so good to be so good, when he pulls me into his guard he just sweeps me and lols, he advises to get settled, fight off subs and then look to pass as all I can do when I'm in someones guard is pass...passing is the only option...fight off their subs, settle, pass.

Bowl into central dojo mid morn for a bit of drill and stretch, just do hegular warm up drills and monitor my joints.

Meals
1)Up and go, banana, mandarin, apple, 2 boiled eggs.
2)2 boiled eggs and sugar water.
3)Chicken breast, refried beans, onions, garlic, toms, water.
4)3 bix, 1/4C almonds, 1/5C sultanas, liter milk.
5)Chicken breast, tagliatelle, asparagus, tomato, garlic, fennel.

Thursday
Perc and bike, fuck I hate my bike.
Say hi to gaiz and gentle warm up.
Then no Gi class w beard: we do wrestling drills w partner, hoolahoop arms, keep posture up and lat flare fight for inside hooks of the shoulder, when uke stiffens detach loosely and change levels for beards double.
Then we roll for 3*5's, I get purple chook who controlled me hard, I tried to tripod out of a triangle and granby rolled toward my trapped arm across her torso instead, she shifted her hips out to arm bar and I was able to pillow escape and come back to her guard. Survival with no strength.
Then I roll with two white belt homies, we move a bit better, do ok straight ankle escape, do good frame, similar to collar frame except I got my hand into an L shape and jammed it in their arm pit, very effective, might help sweep.



Mid morning I do some animal movement, a few air squats monitoring my knees and ankles and some chins, enough to get the blood moving around the limbs.


I have olecranon bursitis and have been treating it with cold compress and tea tree, hopefully the swelling goes down as it's key to my escapes.
Meals
1)3 bix, 1/4C almonds, 1/5C sultanas, liter milk.
2)Chicken breast, tagliatelle, asparagus, tomato, garlic, fennel.
3)2T peanut butter and wholegrain.
4)2 large lamb cutlet, broccoli, carrot, potato mash, milk, chocolate.

Friday
Stretches and wicked traditional warm up with hanuman.
Gi class we drill lasso arm when spider, uke has pants grips, break one by kick out, lasso that arm, hip out opposite to lasso and hip back in, big homie blue tells me later to draw arm in like a gun for really tight control, kick out other foot to break grip and draw in for shield, under hook uke's leg for three points of contact, suck uke's weight over you, sweep in direction of lasso arm, come to knee on belly, if uke drags your knee shield frame their shoulder and invert in the direction of the lasso, swap hand grips, and sit up blocking uke's hip, keep arm doglegged, get other hand to grip torso/ belt, hanuman recommends that invert must be really close to uke.
Roll for 5*5's, roll with homie and four other peep holes, then have a half a round with big blue, mostly work on balance when on top and framing when on bottom, got to a cheeky sub, actually a bit of a rude cunnie when I think about it.

85 minutes rolling this week, seminar tomorrow with the big dogs from the club and checkmat black belt.

• Jam his knee into hip to prevent re guard
• spider to single X
• spider to hip to the outside of uke's legs, the leg that's close to uke's should hook around the back of uke's knee, keep one spider grip, use it to drive uke over that shoulder, the key is push away from direction of sweep then push with spider grip and pull with leg hook

• Jam L shape hand into arm pit of uke for frame
• Lasso to knee shield and under hook of leg/ three points of contact: uke has pants grips, break one by kick out, lasso that arm, hip out opposite to lasso and hip back in, big homie blue tells me later to draw arm in like a gun for really tight control, kick out other foot to break grip and draw in for shield, under hook uke's leg for three points of contact, suck uke's weight over you, sweep in direction of lasso arm, come to knee on belly, if uke drags your knee shield frame their shoulder and invert in the direction of the lasso, swap hand grips, and sit up blocking uke's hip, keep arm doglegged, get other hand to grip torso/ belt, hanuman recommends that invert must be really close to uke

Saturday and notes from previous Gi class
Had good days off, no sleep ins, good feedings, cupply quiet beers, walked up mountains w bebe on back, cuddled much better half, watched my dude learn stuff.

Main man fundamental break turtle
1) Be hip to hip, reach over hip for collar (stay low on uke's torso), trap ukes close wrist and turn it into them, drive your far knee in and pull to your far side, get back, hooks, seatbelt and mata leao.
2) If uke rolls out to defend hop over and get far side leg (now near) as hook, keep rolling them to get to back, hooks, seatbelt and mata leao.
Hanuman break turtle to truck and options
1) Be hip to hip, drive far side knee in, step over their near side shin and slide in deep for hook, reach over for two on one of their far shin, granby onto your near side simultaneously triangling legs, keep controls, switch triangle to twister hooks, control uke's now nearside arm *their escape is to come onto knee of trapped leg.
Options
1) Reach forward and figure four/ mata leao trapped leg for calf slicer/ straight ankle.
2) Keep control of uke's near leg instead of arm and pull, stretch their trapped leg away for groin stretch.
3) Get strong control of uke's near side arm pull and trap under own shoulders, reach near arm under their head for hook, S grip hands across uke's face, continue driving trapped leg away and drawing head toward you for twister.

Roll for 4*5's and one lesson from tree as I have issue getting ankle out of uke's half and he has powerful shield: pull/push and break grips, get outside knee grips of uke's down knee, roll uke onto flat to beat knee shield and stand quick, knee slice quick and come to side control.
Watch other peep holes jam after class, need bullfighter using uke ankles and leg drag in my life.

Wednesday repeat of a couple of weeks back
Had a coffee then off to sister gym, Kiwi purp taking class doing sister gym's syllabus, he showed a slight variation on what big brown taught in previous class, the notes below are from the previous > 'headquarters' to bullfighter/ knee cut:

Get pants grips, step one leg deep into the back of ukes knee, drop the weight of your chest/pelvis into their other shin, simultaneously pull collar up hard on same side as 'entry' leg, keep elbow of this arm tight to uke to prevent under-hook-pass 1) other hand pushes knee in, kick 'entry' leg out, simultaneously cross hands/ push pants grip/ pulling collar grip to pendulum uke's head in your direction and their hips away, big step then little step to come to knee on belly, anchor far leg far out....Leandro would be proud-pass 2) push pants grip in then out, drive 'entry' leg knee into this thigh and sit into their hip, get a good cross face, put your knee on the floor, do not baseball slide - sit in uke's lap then switch hips tight to come to side control, any grips on the seams of the gi are goody good.........

Good to hang with a different crowd for a different look, we rolled for 4*5's, shook hands and shared lols with peeps, as always feel way better for dragging my ass out of bed.
Good to see white belt homies, tree and lion as well, there's good vibes all round.

Went back in mid morn and did some stretching to try and get an old knot out of my rhomboid.

1) 3 bix, 1/5C almonds, 1/5C sultanas, coconut, 3 apples, shots, braundo.

Coffee, cuddle honey bear, bike.
Still trying to get this shitty little knot out of my back.
Say hai gaiz then class with coach beard:
We do same same drill of guard pull as Tuesday, then we use the anchored arm to slide to ashe garami leg entanglement.
We drill both single and double X sweeps to combat base and leg locks.
I roll with my homie for a round, he back packs me and advises to get as high and close to his head as poss when I want to escape.
Coach gives pointers: drive shoulders into ground for sweep, use gaze and monitor/ adjust when in combat base, keep high grip to control leg, sit down when you combat base to keep solid foundation.
I come back in to do my 5*5 of DL's and chat to two other kiwis, they watch my form and say no dramas:
3*10@55, 3*8@75, 5*5@95.
Had no intention to take class but find myself walking onto the mat.
The main man shows us single leg counter which is:
Take good darce grips and close all space> drive trapped foot into uke as a shield> make sure you have control of uke's chin on opposite side to trapped leg> sit to this side and use foot shield to butterfly sweep> come to mount with guillotine grips> maintain chin control and slide other hand in over> suck elbows in and drive hips down.
Roll for 4*5's and have one round off, just loose and light reviewing all tech I've been taught.

The perfect training day...........

I eat
1) Apple, pear, banana, 750ml milk, shots.
2) Bucato, mayo, spinach, carrot, tomato, cucumber.

Option 1)
Under arm pit grip pushes uke's tricep away> simultaneously reach under this elbow and pull> lean out toward uke's hips> step foot from mat over uke> you're in a position for straight arm bar having uke's far arm across their body> shark says to complete with thumb on uke's thumb pointed up so they cant hitchhike...
