Jesus I’m out of judo shape.
Broke a Toe training last night. Walking sucks today. Supposed to do Deadlifts tonight in the gym. gonna have to find somethin esle to fill in with.
Taking classes again because all teaching and no training makes Miss Parker fat and slow. Thursday night we went outside & trained in the dark, chokes against a storage container with an uneven surface, then chokes on some wooden boxes lined up about hip level. So the attacker comes on and grabs me by the throat & pushes me over on my back, still choking. The boxes are too tall to allow my feet to stay on the ground, so I’m defending with no base for my feet & he’s still standing in my open guard. My job was to defend & strike & kick him off once I cleared the hands from my throat. This was actually a mock up of something Matt & I did at an instructor training in San Antonio. The school owner wheeled out a car with padding on the sharp edges of the doors. Told us all to surround the car & just told us to GO. Matt immediately picked me up by my waist & slammed me down in the hood of the car & got in my guard & started half choking me half ripping at my shirt. Once I fought him off I fled around the car & saw some guy I don’t know trying to shove another female in the trunk of the car…anyway I digress. The last drill was: I’m striking pads on one end of the container till I’m tired, then I get choked with any choke they feel like, I defend & flee, jumping over those same boxes with some parkour vault that I suck at. As soon as both feet hit the ground after the jump another person comes out of hiding & either chokes me with any choke or slams me with a pad & I deliver 20 strikes. 3 rounds for each person.
Then this morning it was sparring, teaching 2 classes, then working in to our Fit to Fight class, to partner with a new guy. Huge guy. We had to shoot in, get our hips under theirs & lift them up in preparation to slam them down. It was pretty easy so I thought I was so strong. Turns out he was jumping to help me. Then we did some takedown that I don’t know the name of where you drop to one knee, hook your hands around the heel of your opponent & pull while driving your shoulder in to his knee.

Sounds like fun.
That choking drill sounds like a great opportunity for a double arm-bar for the defender. Obviously getting up is a priority, but if the attacker foolish enough to extend both arms in a “dummy choke” like that, why not break them (or at least one of them) and then get up? Do they teach you guys that move in Krav? It’s actually a very practical Jiu-Jitsu self defense move under those conditions.

That would be a low single leg takedown. If you watch Randy Couture’s fight with James Toney you’ll see it applied effectively. It’s actually a pretty safe takedown because you come in so low that you’re not open to too many strikes.

Hi, Sento guy! It was fun! I’ve never done a double arm bar in Krav, but I haven’t learned everything yet, not by a mile. I did it a long time ago in BJJ. The first round the attacks were slower so the instructor could watch & make sure no one was going to get hurt & I did have tme to think, “Ooh, I could arm bar this guy now” But the boxes were so narrow that if he shifted his weight we would have gone over the side & I would have broken the fall with my face. So I just kicked him (politely) in the face instead. I’m not good at stuff like armbars unless they give it to me on a platter, frankly, not yet anyway.
Thanks for the heads up on the takedown.

By grabbing you in a “dummy choke” though he was pretty much giving it to you on a platter. 
Thanks, Sentoguy, I’ll try it!

Cool. Just be warned, it comes on very quick and your training partner must know ahead of time that they will have to verbally say “tap” because you will be locking both of their arms. It’s probably the easiest arm bar from guard there is IMO to make work. The problem is that no experienced grappler is likely to ever put themselves in that position (hence the reason why you never see it done in MMA or even submission grappling competitions). But against an untrained individual who doesn’t know better, it’s a great thing to know.

I have that on my left knee. Grew out when I was 14. Hurt like a bitch, but now, it’s just there.
I rolled for the first time in about a year yesterday! I wrote a novella in my log about it, but the PW ladies aren’t really into BJJ so I’m copying here. BJJ!!! Holy Long Post Batman!
I’ve been off lately, and so I sought out some mat based therapy. I’m so glad I did. I found a Clark Gracie school just over an hour away. Granted the instructor is a blue belt, but he kicked my ass, and the guys were great so I think I’ll stick to it. I can manage an hour drive on Sundays. Once a week isn’t going to do anything stellar for my game, but at least it’ll keep stuff fresh in my mind. And you know smashing and being smashed feels great.
There were probably 15 guys there. There were two guys in charge, both blue belts. I was the only other blue, but they had a few 4 stripe white belts. One of the blue belts ran the warm up. We ran, did all the normal running drills, high knees, skipping, etc. Then we ran a few laps backwards, which was a bit new. I sometimes do 2 min backward on the treadmill for the ankle, but this was the first time I’ve seen it in a warm up. Then some mat based warm up drills. We did some shrimping, reverse shrimp, the wiggly ab one that Saulo loves and is so hard, then a new one to me. It’s was sideways rolling over your shoulder, so to mimic an inverted guard. I didn’t get it at first. I rolled over my face! Such a newb mistake. I asked the instructor to break it down though, and I got it. He was really cool about it, which I loved!
We only did two moves in class. I think Sunday classes everywhere are low key. First foot sweeps. Damn. I wanted to be all impressive as the only blue belt and they start with stand up, something I totally suck at? We mostly just worked on recognizing when to take it, and where and how to hit the foot/ankle. It was actually pretty awkward, but I didn’t realize it was awkward because of me until the end of drilling it. I went with one of the blue belt instructors, because you know I’m a girl and have cooties.
He’d sweep me and it would get weird, until I realized it was because I was being a girl rather than a BJJ player. He’d sweep and was kinda doing a weird dip thing. Perfectly normal if a guy dips you when you’re dancing, really weird if he’s doing a BJJ takedown. Lol. He didn’t say anything though, and I didn’t get it until I tried to make it harder and not let him take me down.
Next we did a weird gi lapel choke/ neck crank. I’m not about to incorporate neck cranks into my game, not cool bro, so I drilled it, but didn’t absorb it. It’s good to know what other people could do to you, so I paid attention, but I didn’t absorb details.
Then we rolled! Five 5 min rounds. Fucking awesome! My first roll was with the blue belt that lead warm ups. I just closed my eyes and it went so smoothly it was like I had never left. He’s a strong guy, but didn’t muscle anything, pure technique and easy movement. We rolled the whole 5 min at a pretty fast pace. It was awesome, neither one of us gave up anything, but we didn’t just lay there stagnant. I will drive and hour on Sundays just to roll with this kid.
Rolled with the blue belt instructor next. He was like trying to stay on one of the swiss balls. I stayed on top for the first 2 min, and he just kept trying to elevate and sweep me. It was all just getting the right part of me heavy so he couldn’t sweep. Felt good. Then I kinda spaced and he swept and I ended up on bottom with him standing. And I blanked. Tried a bit of de la riva, but that’s not really something I got to work on that much.
I kinda just wanted to stand, but then it would have been weird. I need to work on not getting passed when he’s standing over me. I also did some weird stuff in the bottom of side control. I don’t know what was going on, I almost let him have my arm. But then I did get the gullitione position. I didn’t take it though, it’s weird to tap the instrucor on the first day. He may also have just been giving it to me.
Next I rolled with a 4 stripe white belt. I was feeling a little more me. We started on the knees, I did a bit of an arm drag he turtled, so I just took his back. I worked on getting an RNC for a while, but after a minute he couldn’t get me off his back, and I wasn’t going to tap him (more first day weirdness) so I let go. Well I let go into a Bow choke, I put enough pressure to let him know I could tap him if I wanted to, I couldn’t roll with no soul crushing at all!
Then let go of the loop choke and let him recover guard. I spent some time getting used to being in closed guard again, but before I could think about opening him he did on his own. I keep doing something odd with my right shin and people are hooking it so I can’t pass. I ended up on top of him in half guard for a while. Then time was up. Bro was impressed, it felt good.
Then two brand new white belt matches. I just played, let them do shit. One did catch me snoozing though, I left my arm by his neck in side control and so he just picked it up and did a simple hold my forearm push on my elbow arm bar. It’s what I get for underestimating a newb.
I was wiped by then so spent the last two rolls just watching kids. I think I have a handle on who to avoid an who to roll with now. I’m going back for sure next week if schedule allows. Yippee!!
Hello Folks, gonna contribute something, recently Ive been playing Sprint Interval Training as a general conditioning protocol with alot of the fighters I’ve been working with, keeping in mind most of the fighters I train have a decent aerobic base from training all week. They have gained marked improvements in peak and average power output’s, decreased RHR.
If any of you are thinking of giving this a try its usually 6-8 sprints x 30secs with 3-4 minutes rest between intervals. Pretty simple unless you have to sprint/cycle/row at 100% on each effort. Coming into Sports specific sparring they have far more wind recover quickly between rounds ive been surprised at the difference. The up side it does’nt take a aslong or cause as much soreness as complexes or MMA youtube porn style HIIT.
Ive blogged at some length about the science behind the idea. http://www.powering-through.com/2012/02/science-behind-sprint-interval-training.html
Sounds like you had a great time, Patch.
I have really been spending more and more time training lately. Normally 4 days a week 3 hours at a whack.
One of our guys just won a title in Missouri and have been working with him getting him ready for another fight this weekend and to prep me for my next one which should be within the next 2-3 months.
Monday did lots of warm up because I got there early. I hit the bag working on movement and speed which turned into using more power and practicing two combos I have been working on. Then we did some sparring with takedowns etc. The guy I was working with wanted takedowns which led to lots of clinch work and doing whizzers off the cage. Sparred for 10minutes straight with no breaks. Took a 5 minute water break and then set the timer for 5 minute rounds and did three of those. Later did some work with the younger guys on punching and setting up takedowns.
After that went into No Gi class and we worked lots of positions and setting up armbars and basically did them over and over about 15 times each then free rolled for about 20 minutes. Open mat for and hour where I did lots of different techniques and sparred for a good 30 minutes. Next up was regular Gi class and I stayed for the first time I did a Gi class and it was very good. Basically worked on a few different triangles and how to set them up and getting best position for success then Rolled again and I spent lots of time on the bottom with some blue and purple belts just staying alive.
Next day did some light work in the gym as I was too sore and tired to do too much but wanted to lift anyway.
The day after that back training working muay thai drills , lots of cardio and did some free sparring. After class had some open mat and worked pretty much everything in there. Pretty much the same stuff I do all the time Just a lot more of it lately and my body is paying the price LOL Just felt like I needed to tell somebody about all this work I been doing.

Hi!
I guess you are supposed to write what and how much you train here so i´ll do that.
I live in Sweden and started to train mixed martial arts about 6 months ago. I think it´s a really great thing to do to build physical and mental strength and stamina and it has helped me a lot with that. I currently train MMA on fridays and sundays only because the majority of our trainers are out of town for a while, but they will be back in May and then i will train mondays, wednesdays, fridays and sundays. So right now a typical week of training look´s like this:
Monday - conditioning/rest
Tuesday - weight training
Wednesday - conditioning/rest
Thursday - weight training
Friday - MMA
Saturday - weight training
Sunday - MMA
And in May it will be like this:
Monday - MMA
Tuesday - weight training
Wednesday - MMA
Thursday - weight training
Friday - MMA
Saturday - weight training
Sunday - MMA/rest
Sorry for the bad english

I rolled a lot over the last week. When I get the time, I’ll type it up.
