Tracking stuff

This blog grew out of my inability to keep a BJJ training log in paper and pencil format. So basically, this will be my training notebook. Comments, tips, and etc. are welcome!

Food log 4/11/2012

Preparing for a weigh in nine days from now...so I'm eating as little as I healthily can while having enough energy to train.  Hopefully I'll have a small, 7 or so, lb cut down to 189.

Morning: 1-2 mile run

Lunch Ham and Turkey Sandwich - 440 Cals Bag of chips - 210 cals Diet Soda - 0 cals

post-lunch snack some sort of proteiny bar in the neighborhood of 300 cals

pre-jits snack 300-500 cals 

Some sort of fruit and caffeine

jits.

so 1450 Calories prior to an evening 2 hour workout.  The run probably ate up anywhere from 100-200, for a conservative net of 1350 pre-main workout.  I wonder how many cals the 2 hours of jits burns?  Anybody have any idea?  I've heard a lot of different estimates, from 300-600.  We do about 15 minutes warm up, 45 minutes of technique, 20-30 minutes of live full resistance positional drilling, and then the remainder of the time normal sparring.

Dinner -- biggest meal of the day, anywhere from 600 - 1000 cals.  Gonna try and keep it on the lower end for the next few days.  Hopefully I can resist the urge to eat salty rice!

Happy humpday

Chokes from side control

Today we worked on two chokes from side control, the instructor didn't give names to either of them.  All moves are described in a right handed fashion,

Choke 1:

1) You have established a good side control with over under control.  Now switch your hands to a more aggressive grip with your right hand blocking the hip and your left hand over the face and wrapping opp's elbow or forearm.  This grip is typically used to set up a kimura or far-side armbar, so opp's mind should be drifting to that.

2) Step your feet to North-South, fuck around here until you feel your opponents arm somewhere on your right side.

3) Using your right arm, wrap around opp's arm and grab the back of his collar, palm up.  Step back to side control.

4) With your free arm, grab the opp's far-side lapel with your palm facing his legs.  Finish as per normal

Choke 2:

1) From the same position as described above, shift your weight onto your left hip, and pull up the nearside end of your gi.

2) Square-up, and feed the very end of your lapel to your right hand (the hand that should be under the head).

3) Straighten your arm, block the hip with your left hand, and by placing your head next to his left hip, walk to side control.  This motion should tighten up the choke sufficiently to get the tap.  If for whatever, reason it doesn't, once you've walked around, use your free hand to squeeze opp's shoulder.
