ok, birthday weekend. no training. well except for mah liver.
jits+boxing+lifting tonight.
all around fantastic night for training.
Jits:
we continued working passing the guard by standing, starting with the drills this time instead. i got muuuchh better at using the pass than last week. still having trouble breaking the closed guard, however im using the knee in the butt and bringing my other leg back even when they have a hold of my leg.
when i was on bottom for the drills, i worked grabbing a sleeve and a lapel and it was to great effect. sometimes ended up climbing onto them, then pulling them back down. i tend to work mostly triangles, actually exclusively in fact. and when i can't get them, i'm finding it very easy to transition for an armbar.
my shrimping is on, however i'm having some mild trouble submitting from side mount. i guess it's position over submission anyway, i'm still new to gi and all that.
after the drills we did some live rolling for a 5 minute round. went with one of my better training partners, always spanks me in no-gi. we had a good scrap though, he caught me in a triangle and armbar, and i worked my escapes, ultimately sweeping him into mount with this sweep we did a while back involving the hip movement for a kimura fromt he bottom, then swinging your leg like a lever. i also used the sitting guard pass with one knee up to gain side control, and got knee on belly. had a solid double when we ended up scrambling, the ability to grab on the gi really helps. my scramble has been kind of an issue as i sometimes just let the person gain top position, not sure why. it's getting better though.
Boxing:
same thing as last week with the getting hot. dancing, bein on your toes, loosening up the shoulders then some real low squat jump types to get the knee bend.
3x3minute rounds
then shadowboxing for 3x3 minute rounds. really trying to focus on imagining someone in front of me, and working on certain combos for offense as well as defending. on offense i'm really feeling the double and triple jab, especially off a slip. defense i like to slip, then come right uppercut, hook, cross. 2 things i've been working recently.
after that did 5x2 minute rounds of sparring. it was only using the jab, and trying to incorporate head movement and slipping instead of just jabbing each other in the face back and forth. i felt real confident in my jab, i've really been trying to make it quick and snap the jab, and it's paying off. i've also been doubling and tripling the jab up. i'm really diggin parrying their jab, then coming right back with my own, lands solidly most of the time.
however i keep circling to once side, and my coach pointed it out, when i started circling to my other side, my partner kinda froze and i could tag at will.
Lifting:
push
my bro started while i was boxing so i missed bench, but
OHP:
75x5
85x5
85x5
115x4
115x4 (had to use my hips a bit for the last one.)
Weighted dips:
bw+10x5
bw+15x5
bw+25x5
all in all solid night. hoping to run tomorrow then back in the gym wednesday.
