Monday, President’s day – Beginner GI

Ok, So last week had a chance to catch up on some classes.  Caught Wednesday All level Gi night class and Thursday All level Gi night class.  Did not make Saturday open mat or Sunday Beginner GI.
Monday was Presidents day, wrapped the fingers and toes and off went to Monday night Beginner Gi and stayed a half of the open mat.  ( back jacked up ! fingers a bit tore up) .
So last night went over  upa escape from mount, elbow knee escape, Scissor sweep – good class.  I need to work on conditioning ( have to put that first !,  elbow knee escape, sweeps, and escape from side mount…. )
I found a great video for taping fingers and toes !

Startup in Feb !

Lots of snow and ice last week. Missed some classes, healed up. Saturday in for Open Mat from 12-2pm, pretty good. Picked up the sheets for stripes to see what I need to focus on. I still been using brawn over brains and leverage !  Read , watch videos!

Sunday hit the morning class , 3 strip white and below. 65% of class blue and above.. Due to weather?  Class on double leg takedown.. Have to work on my clinch, fall and takedown..  change levels/drop down and grab behind his ankle.Also need to work on my pass ( all of them !)
