grappling

Training log, gi. Worked on submissions from the guard with an overwrap/overhook: a cross-choke, an armbar and a triangle. Sparring was 10 x 5 minute rounds as usual...

The first four were, individually and collectively, probably the hardest rounds I've had for the last six months. High intensity plus high technicality against higher level opponents whose styles meshed with my own and who pushed just as hard.

The remaining rounds were still tough but included some nice scrambles. I also attempted to flit between untangling/deconstructing guards and using aggressive forward posts and sprawls to get passes.

Probably coasting off some of the post-CJI inspiration / energy, but also starting to dial back in on time-restricted eating, which has a noticeable effect on my energy / intensity and recovery between rounds.
