http://cmkjiujitsu.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 25, 2010. Keiko Raca Limited Series Gi Second Impression. After a wash in hot water and a few rounds in the dryer, I am warming up to this gi a great deal. It now feels much more solid and fits me like a glove. I think it's going to be spectacular when I've broken it in about a month from now. Sunday, December 19, 2010. Keiko Raca Limited Series Gi First Impression. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Friday, December 3, 2010. Last night I attended the advanced class. Unbeknown to me, al...

Tuesday, October 26, 2010. New School Day 2. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Second, more training at my new school. I'm liking it so far. The sparring is significantly harder than it was at my old place, which is both good and bad. On the one hand, I'll get better. On the other hand, I'm not trying to get hurt. Friday, October 22, 2010. So now my move is complete, my fridge has food in it, and I've switched to a school that's much closer to my new place. Let's see what kinds of magic I can make now. Earli...

Jiu Jitsu Log: Spring Training!
http://cmkjiujitsu.blogspot.com/2011/01/spring-training.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. I have also decided to implement an incentive system. I am going to start each day I go to class with a surplus of 100 pushups. Every triangle attempt will subtract 5 pushups from this amount, meaning that in order to do 0 pushups, I must attempt 20 triangles in one class. In order to prepare for this task, I have stockpiled a number of resources on setting up and finishing leg triangles, which I hope will be put to good use. Here goes nothing! BJJ and Back Pain. Sparring tim...

Jiu Jitsu Log: August 2010
http://cmkjiujitsu.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Today yielded a few important points:. 1) On top, press down at an angle, not straight down. From sidemount, push into your partner by driving forward and down. Think a 45 degree angle instead of a 90. 2) Jay pointed out that I was looking down by bending my neck. In the future, I'll have to make sure I keep my view on the point where the wall and ceiling meet each other to ensure that my posture is good. 3) Head control. Nuff said. Friday, August 27, 2010. On wednesday afternoo...

Jiu Jitsu Log: July 2010
http://cmkjiujitsu.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 30, 2010. If my core is tired, I did good jiu jitsu; if my arms are tired, I did bad jiu jitsu. Jeremy showed some guard pulls and open guard sweeps against a standing opponent. The most interesting bit for me was the possibility of using one leg x-guard against standing opponents who step one of their legs too far back to hit a sickle sweep on. How can I prevent my partner from turning in during armbar setups? Control the sleeves and stretch standing opponents out more. Sparring today was s...

Jiu Jitsu Log: September 2010
http://cmkjiujitsu.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. In more ways than one.tonight we practiced bow and arrow chokes, and I also received my blue belt! It's a moment I've looked forward to with some anticipation, but much like graduating from college, it was over in a flash and after the fact I realize that it's not the moment itself, but all of the moments leading up to it that matter. Mostly, I'm just amped I can go to the advanced classes since they fit my schedule much better :). You 'ave improved now, yes? What's more, t...
