252 Again!! (freakin' weekends. have to stop messing around on the weekends and stay focused. time to sitch to the Atkins and the W diet)
*Break*
11:30 Kettlebell class.
Tough but not as tough as Thursday. Warmups, then a 5 minute swing/Turkish get uo Cycle. 2 minute run, then a 6 minute snatch, clean and press, and squat press set.
*Break*
BJJ at 6:30. class was covering teh head control half guard pass. some of the guys struggled with it, which was a litlle surprising considering it shouldn't be anything new. we did some live half guard passing work top and bottom. i noticed from the bottom, that if you are just trying to stall, and use your far side hand to underhook and grab your own lapel, it made things difficult. for the passer. with Chris D., i noticed that if i use an underhook pass, i MUST keep my hips down and far from him whil passing to prevent the locked knee bump. went to judo at 7:45. (note-i want to ask regis about starting a purple, brown and black class, once a week)

Judo (Me, Art, Alma, Chris S., Joe Chiu, Hiroki, Will D., Will-white belt, and Randall from BJJ) was frustrating. Art had already started the class and was doing aikido with the people who were there. This is no way to get ready for the tournament season. Next, 30 minutes of Ukemi. this is 25 minutes too much. Then he took the majority of the class and had Hiroki, Will D. and Alma, doing Kata. Total waste of time for tournament prep. i emerged from the office and grabbed Will, Hiroki, Alma, Joe Chiu, and Chris S and did randori for the last 30 minutes. this saved the class for me at least, though i need a lot more, if I want to be reasonably prepared for Nationals and BJJ Pan Ams. Randall did sign up with the USJA, so I guess he enjoyed the class.
