Lazily I made these notes last week after training and have not made the time to add the details to the sub headings. Below is what was covered in the main class plus from my perspective as usual.
Transition from side to inverted
Downward shoulder rotation with the leg
Own leg grab with head control
Elbow extension with pushing the shoulder down
Arm trap with leg for striking opportunities
Free form grappling with Craig. Big moment for Criag as he pulled off his first sub against me; a swift and nasty inner forearm choke that I defended poorly and he deserved to get.
Free form grappling with Will plus strikes
Standing free form
Boxing only
Body shots only
Kicks only
Clinch in to takedown
Freeform grappling with Mishel
Charlie's invented submission from a triangle defence.
The main point for me tonight was that this was the first striking class since the break and I have nicely gathered up all my old fears about striking (being loose with the attacks, being tense and defensive and fearful of punches to the face) so was quite disheartened. I felt that towards the end of 2012 I was doing well to conquer my demons but how quickly self doubt can creep back. Hopefully next week I get a chance to grow through hardship.
