Ran on the elliptical with intervals of high/low incline. Every once in a while I sprinted for a few minutes. Data recorded:
- Time: 33 minutes
- Strides: 5484
- Distance: 3.65 miles
- Energy Used: 444.2 (kilo) calories
- Average Heart Rate: 162 beats/minute
- Maximum Heart Rate: 185 beats/minute
I shouldn't have ran today, because immediately afterward:
...
Went to Judo Class. First was ukemi then nage waza:
Then we had
Shark Bait Shiai. I won three matches: two by pin and the third by ippon nage. But I got tired on the fourth match and lost by one Shido. I grabbed my opponent's belt too long; must remember not to do that. I got 2nd place at the Shiai, but I will take first next time!
...
Went to Panther Grappling Club (no-gi). Four people showed up. Taught technique for an hour. First went over the
crash course again; however, I think it could use some more tightening up. I changed the crash course to go over:
- We skipped ukemi.
- Elbow-in-thigh break and knee-on-thigh pass, instead of #5
- Superman escape from side control, instead of #7
- Showed lockflow from side-control: kimura, straight armlock, wristlock, americana, americana with head, superman americana.
The rest was the same except. BTW, shrimping is the hip heist of grappling. I showed a few slightly more advanced techniques:
- 6-point armbar from guard
- blocking the far leg counter to 6-point armbar
- pulling arm out counter to 6-point armbar
- uma plata counter to pulling arm out counter to 6-point armbar
Then we did ground randori in 5 minute periods for an hour. No standup this time. Then reviewed how to do a
guillotine choke and counter it.
Finally, I gave Jake the MMA gloves and played a game. He weighs 190 pounds while I am just 156. Jake was allowed to do any submission and to punch me, but I was not allowed to strike.
We started with him in my guard, yet Jake submitted to me three times from armbars. Although boxers can punch hard, grapplers can defend and break their arms. This way it was proven that jiu-jitsu defeats boxing.
This was a long practice - over 2 hours long!
