I actually didn't really want to train today and planning to just hang out and record stuff at the MMA gym, but so it goes, I did things.
first of all before the details: I told them about the challenge my dad issued and they all said the same thing: it's time to teach you ground
3 mins body shot sparring. very difficult. first time sparring.
then head coach dropped by and went on to teach us grappling.
lots of grappling exercises involving major hip movements, legs, arms, everything.
it was nasty. I got bruises all over my arms and legs and feet and that was just from the exercise.
then comes the teaching:
take downs
counter take downs
guards
guard passing
guard passing counter
side control
side control counter
and armbar
afterwards, it's 'roll with the big guy because he knows how to roll'
it was hard. no shit i was tired but not gassed.
2 rounds no time limit
1st round:
pwned with reverse armbar after lots of rolls and stuff. he was sleeveless and well, sweat and oil accumulated, slippery/
2nd round:
pwned him with a judo throw
of course, he had his guard up, distracted him by passing
fake it, switched to knee bar
countered
wrestled some
he full side mount me
countered and me on full side mount
going for kimura
countered
he rolled over me
armbar
the end
love it
