Take This Down

So I missed the open MMA class on Monday but was told that I didn't "miss" much. Tuesday was fun, although my sleep schedule was completely messed up by the overnights and I felt like shit. I did feel better after but during was rough going. Definitely hard to focus and my stamina was most certainly lacking. Working on clinch work at the end was fun and I cannot wait to use it.

MMA today was good, the first 5 exercises of the 300 Workout were PR'ed, while the PR's I made last week in the last 5 were only 1 or 2 seconds faster. My overall time was a bit slower only because I had to remind Xavier what the drills were. We then did a short grappling competition. X slammed me on my head during a guillotine choke and I got my first stinger since RHS Football. Ahhh the memories. I was a little dazed but mostly it helped sink in the choke so I had to submit.

Sparring has been sparse at the gym as of late and I hope people stick to coming when they say they will. I need to get work in using all the techniques in a real situation before my fight. I haven't sparred in a few weeks and I know I am rusty. Hopefully this Saturday will be different.

Improvements:
Take downs, not getting caught in a guillotine, stepping out on round kicks, EATING PLAN!!!!

Positives:
Improvements on 6 of the 300 exercises, got the "skaters" drill down on the balance ball, bought a bike and taking it EVERYWHERE
