As part of my on-going obsession with the Brabo Choke I have put together a YouTube playlist of some really cool Brabo Choke instructional video.

The Crossfit is really starting to effect my cardio. In fact this is how strong I am feeling:
Chad of MMAHitFit had us do his Workout of the Day today:
10 rounds of:
10 Seoi Nage(Entry - 5 each side)
10 Box Jumps
15 Pushup
Class 34 of 200 BJJ classes
Weight 163 lbs.
Instructor: Cassio Werneck
Class Overview:
Cassio continued his single leg takedowns from the sitting up guard against an standing opponent.
Rolling overview:
I tried working gi brabo chokes every roll with very little success. My "T-rex" arms are really a problem. Even when I have my opponent's posture completely broken I still cannot lock the choke in against anyone over 130 lbs. My plan is to continue trying to work the brabo until I figure out an entry that will allow me to actually finish the choke. In fact I am putting together a huge blog post with all of my brabo notes.
In addition I got a chance to roll with "Yemaso" and was fighting for my life the whole round...hail storm of submissions!!

Class 34 of 200 BJJ classes
Weight 163 lbs.
Instructor: Cassio Werneck
Class Overview:
Cassio had us working single leg takedowns from the sitting up guard against an standing opponent.
Key points(Turtle/Double Leg):
1. Keep you head inside.
2. Maintain firm control of single leg.
3. Keep arms tight to reduce chance for under hooks
Rolling overview:
I rolled 3 rounds one handed because my left hand is still giving me trouble. It is funny how some training partners are cool and will stay away from your injury and others could really give a damn if you are hurt. My buddy Pedro saw I was rolling one handed and put his arm under his belt as we rolled. Mi hermano!! Another guy I rolled with early actually grabbed my hand and squeezed it. Oh well it beats sitting out. I am really starting to research and drill my brabo chokes. I will be posting about it in the near future
Chad of MMAHitFit had us do his Workout of the Day today:
10 rounds of:
1 min of jumping guard
1 min of grip fighting
1 round of academy carrying your training partner.
I can really feel the difference that the crossfit is starting to have on my cardio. If you have a chance stop by and workout with Chad the Mad Scientist.
