I'm not sure how often I'm going to update this; I think I might use it more as a journal to track my progress.
Background:
Two and a half years of (an aggressive ground-based form) traditional jiu-jitsu.
I've been doing BJJ/MMA training since May 2008.
I lift three or four times a week, plus conditioning exercises done at my apartment.
Last night was a gi class. We drilled taking the back on a turtled opponent. Then we worked pulling half guard from a standing position. The goal was to get very deep with the half guard and finish by either coming out to the back or ending up with a single-leg type finish. I kinda enjoy working a more aggressive traditional half guard. Usually I go for the lockdown and will attempt either the old school or plan-b, so this gives me a few more options.
I think I rolled four times last night, class was just too crowded. I find that I'm hanging in for much longer with the blue belts before getting tapped. My instructor recently told me that he sees a promotion for me at some point this year.
