A blog about me and my dabblings in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Fitness, Nutrition and Life.
Obtained lapel control ->
Head under armpit then sit back with the knee through to break/bait myself out
Opponent obtained underhook ->
Shift to other side, control own ankle. Work pass.
Or go low and grip behind the bum. Kick leg to break it out and pass.
Note to self: Dare to use the knee through, flip sides.
The course itself mainly contains swings, snatches, get ups, cleans and presses. I appreciate the concentration of the basic Kettlebell exercises as much as I dig doing basic lifts like Bench Press, Squats and Deadlifts. It looks like a good regime to become stronger and better conditioned.
What are my goals? At the age of 33 my body is starting to sag and I don't think I have the time and dedication to acheive a great body through bodybuilding. My goals are to become more conditioned in an althetic way that will directly benefit my BJJ and through such endeavour also inherit a decent but not great body. I need to stay under 82.3kg but become the strongest, most flexible and most conditioned competitor in my BJJ weight and age limit.
Achieve :
Functional Strength
Flexibility
Conditioning
I enjoy Kettlebells and that makes me train more. I'm going to get week one and two out of the way before I go to America and then crack on with week three on my return. Let's do it!
Let's begin!
