Went to BJJ with gi. Was feeling OFF big time. We worked on three different guard passes and I stayed only to roll 2 rounds at the end. I sticked a bit around to check some guys spar (MMA), but that's about it.

Went to BJJ advanced class. This month is with the gi, not too bad. I didn't feel like it at all, I don't know why. Anyway, as always I was more than happy to go there and learn. My drive wasn't there and I didn't roll much after class (maybe 2 rounds or something) because I was really tired.

We worked on three different sweeps from half-guard, two of which I really liked. The3rd one was just too hard, I didn't even get it once.

Left the class completely discouraged but I decided not to let myself down for that. But yeah, a so-so class but I'm glad I showed up.

Wednesday, June 9

Yesterday was BJJ no-gi. I love that class We worked on the same regular armbar we did last week, but with more and more attention to details. We also worked on how to break some of the grip/defense in no-gi, it was really cool - some techniques are really effective, I'll just need to practice them more.

Rolled 6-7 rounds after class. Got the bridge on my nose smashed for realz (again) and blood and tears ensued. Hope it's not too serious and that I can train on Saturday.

Saturday, June 12

This was a BJJ class with the gi. I really liked what we worked on, which was a transition from being into someone's butterfly guard, how to grab both legs and slowly pass and get the mount. We also work on how to get a tighter north/south position which I found really helpful.

Stayed to roll 4 x 5-minute rounds after the class.

Not too happy about that workout, as I'm always hungover on the 2nd day... oh well, it happens. It was my first heavy workout since my deload so maybe that's why. I also have an injury to my left hand, not too sure what it is but I'm starting to be worried and will try to get it checked out soon.

I realized I've written "May" everywhere in this log since June lulz how lame, I apologize

Yesterday was BJJ advanced class. This month is with the gi, it went pretty good. We worked on some throws and then on 2 gi chokes. I love/hate these hahaha especially when drilling I was telling my friend "do this instead of that, yeah, better, better... bett'urghhh TAP TAP TAP

The busted nose is still hurting and messing up with my cardio so I didn't get to roll like I wanted to. And I'm eating more and more on my opponent's spider guard. Really. Anyway, I stayed to roll 4 x 5-minute rounds at the end and I drilled some omoplatas with a partner at the end.

[CharliC]

Living in the past are we?

Nice job on the BJJ- hope the nose starts behaving itself soon!

Went to my favorite class of the week, BJJ no-gi. It was really nice. We worked on high guard and double armbars. We also checked a few variations on how to transition from double armbars into the mount and get either an armbar or a triangle from there.

Rolled 5 x 5-minute rounds after the class. 1st class without Redline, I was a bit scared but I was just fine Just less sweaty

Fun log chère Montréalaise.

I'm lifting and hoping to take BJJ or MMA next year! I live in Montreal as well. I once tried a school on Ste-Catherine for BJJ but that's it. Good luck with everything and I admire your courage in continuing despite inconvenient injuries. Most people quit at the gym over far less than a busted nose and you're training right through it!

Saturday, June 19

Went to BJJ with gi. Not many people ther eand both instructors weren't there to teach the class. It's always fun because our highest blue belt instructor is really good. We worked on a butterfly pass and gi chokes variations from side mounts.

It was really hot there so I just rolled 3 x 5-minute rounds after class. The nose was really sensitive FTL I hope it gets better this week.
