Thanks, my(milk)man!
It's the last time I'll be using the Smith Machines for a while, so I wanted to go out on a high note.
BJJ.
Last time I trained was two weeks ago. Guy I was rolling with tried to catch me with RNC. I defended well enough to stop him tapping me, but because we were moving about so much, at one point it turned into a Face Bar. When I took my gumshield out after the Roll, half a tooth came out with it.
My Dentist put in a temp filling and told me to avoid any impact/pressure on my jaw until he can fit a crown. So just technique today. I won't be cleared for Rolling until the second week of October at the earliest.
Today's class started with a basic Judo hip throw into an Armbar. Next up was a Crucifix Choke from Turtle. Then Darcy Choke and finally a rolling choke from the opponent's Turtle. Good fun.
I spoke to an old Rugby player once who told me that in his day, no one wore gumshields. Because if you had any teeth left, you weren't playing hard enough.
Yeah, two visits and north of £200. And that's the cheapest option: a metal crown. A crown made out of the white stuff they use for fillings nowadays would have cost £600!
