Class 32 of 200 BJJ classes
Weight 165 lbs.
Instructor: Marcos Torregrosa
Class Overview:
Marcos had us working to regain position after the opponent ACTUALLY passes the guard into side control. He showed the initial setup into turtle position and a transition into a double leg when the opponent is passing with the "Over Under" pass(or Pancake pass) as it is shown in the following video:
Key points(Turtle/Double Leg):
1. Sit up and away before opponent before he establishes head control.
2. Turn into turtle position keeping elbows in tight.
3. Be aware of any collar grips as you finalize position.
4. Continue to turn in the direction that you sat up in and use near side arm to check the opponent's near side leg.
Rolling overview:
I rolled all the rounds but I probably broke my left ring finger after my training partner. He rips my seemly tight collar grip with both off hands and finger felt like I slammed it in a car door. I am going to train over at Capital City BJJ tommorrow with Marcos but it will probably be one handed.
Chad of MMAHitFit had us do his Workout of the Day today:
As many as possible rounds in 12 mins.
20 Double leg takedowns(setup and entry)
10 Jump Squats
I did 7 rounds and it was horrible!! My legs and back are completely fried..
The hustle never stops..
Class 30 of 200 BJJ classes
Weight 163 lbs.
Instructor: Marcos
Marcos had us drilling to defend the guard pass this week. We were doing basic hip movement to defend the toreando pass as well as spinning through in order to take the back.
Key points:
1. Hip movement in order to get the space to move.
2. Using hands to control the distance between you and the opponent.
Chad(of MMAHitFit) began his 8-week Crossfit preparation for the 2010 BJJ Pans-Ams. Here is what the workout looked like:
With a training partner using a Gi or No Gi.
5 rounds
Row 500 meters
50 sit-outs
50 reverse hip escapes
It was not too bad in fact I did 6 rounds to push myself. However I know that the intensity is going to ramp up over the next few weeks. Looks like I will head over to Capital City BJJ and train some judo as well tonight.
The hustle never stops..
