Evening gi class. Didn’t get to take part of the first class at all. After a light warm-up and some stretches we went straight to techniques, which were two wrestling type throws. The first was a modified, sliding sideways type of fireman’s carry and the second a sacrificial type of throw from the typical type [...]
It seems that lately I always hurt my lip while training. Either someone does a bad choke on me, kicks me on the jaw, knees or elbows me. But I’m always going home with a bruised lip or some light bleeding. The one from the last class was a big cut on my lip, which [...]
I mentioned I was out of the flu – but due to some complexities in the form of school work being too much and not having a gi available, I wasn’t able to train this week. Last night I dreamt I was rolling with some friends on the mat – I woke up smiling!! I’m [...]

Today’s class was no-gi. I arrived early and managed to stretch my shoulder a bit, which is good as [...]
This class was a week ago. School has kept me busy so I haven’t really been able to blog a bit. I wasn’t able to make the early afternoon classes, so I went to the evening classes instead. It was nice to get to a 6pm class before the class actually started, a pleasant change [...]
I iced it immediately and it reduced a lot of the swelling and color – it looks a lot better in the pix then in the first few minutes after it happened. I was rolling with a former wrestler in BJJ Class 117. I took his back and he stood up and did a forward [...]
