Picture me Rollin'

I got my hip checked out today before leaving CT and my IT band is very "closed." I got some stretches to "open" it up and will be working them every day.

Today brought about my first day of grappling/submission wrestling. Thankfully a lot of the class is focused around stretching and conditioning which will help with my IT band issues.

We worked on single leg lifts and basic take down defense. John let us know that we would be learning 10 different exercises for a workout he calls 300's. Each exercise is done 30 times in succession for a total of 300 reps, hence the name (complicated I know). I loved this class and cannot wait for the next one. Stretching on off days and doing the exercises will help with my progression.

Here are videos from this past Saturday's sparring.
