Steppin up - training '07

[stricker]

Decided to start another blog, I kinda enjoyed posting the little write ups after getting in from training, and i've got a really good feeling about 2007.

Well the 2 weeks before xmas i basically trained 6days a week, mma, thai or judo, plus some wing chun thrown in. Then had 2 weeks of for xmas and new years, went out nearly every night, was fun, but now im done and its time to train. I did a little bit of strength stuff with dumbells and some ab work a few times, but nothing serious. Yoga/bodyflow stuff every day.

Here goes, I'll post up some objectives soon.

first day back training after break.

MMA.
warm up
2 rounds shadow boxing with 30s intervals of pummelling, jumping switch lunges mixed in. then 1 minute of superman sprawls.

5x3 min rounds on the pads
instead of holding after the pad change over did some tasty takedown drills

then a few rounds rolling.

Fitness was wierd, didnt even break a sweat doing the warm up but then ****ed by the 3rd round on the pads, think the superman sprawls killed my arms big time.

MMA (judo)

rounds of standing kuzushi practice (grip the gi + take balance) then add foot sweeps, then add a few basic throws, then any throw/takedown

technique learning : rounds of rolling, 4 of us + judo coach. breaks whenever we needed to be taught technique, then drilled technique, then back to rolling.

then joined the no gi guys for more rounds of rolling.

MMA.

warm up, breakfalls
2 rounds shadow boxing with intervals of jumping lunges and superman sprawls
2x5min rounds on thai pads
2x5min rounds holding thai pads

rounds of pummelling with lots of stand up wrestling. got schooled on when to try duckunders and take the back and when not to by a judoka, got thrown a couple of times...

then groundwork:
details on arm bar from guard technique, need to tighten these up in rolling.
drilled triangles
bicep crush/turnover
choke from opponent in turtle (feint taking back but switch knees and roll back into guard)

Sumo Deadlift:
30kg+bar 10 reps

MMA.

warm up

nightmare of a conditioning session "to get rid of christmas fat". rounds and rounds of pummelling, thai pummel, wrestling for position, partner resisted march knees, wall teeps, kick pushbacks with parther, exercises like jumping lunges etc etc non stop for the whole hour and a half.

stretching to cool down

[stricker]

MMA

warm up
3x5 min rounds holding thai pads
3x5 min rounds working thai pads

1st round all kicks, kept the pace up
2nd round hands and combos, more alive
3rd round MMA (combos into underhooks, takedowns, ground and pound etc)

then rounds rolling.

holding pads was a bit accidental. first of all i didnt tighten my arms up enough holding for a long knee and the hit went right through 2 pads and my top arm (arms X'd resting on lip of belly pad) flew up and smacked me in the face, got some blood out my nose from that. Then after a take down a knee strike from side control caught my elbow instead of the side of belly pad, so thats now in ice...

[stricker]

MMA (thai boxing)

warm up,
2 rounds shadow boxing
few rounds of thai clinch wrestling
5x4 min rounds on thai pads
5x4 min rounds holding thai pads
wall kicks to finish each round

then sparring.

im ill. felt so weak yesterday i could hardly stand up and walk around, got up about 3am last night and threw up all over the bathroom. now gotta clean it up and my head is pounding

[stricker]

stomach was still feeling bad a few days after last post, so i aint been eating great and my energy levels a bit low. had time off work then been away on the road

but, i did swing by a full time mma school for a quick session. no classes on but did roll for a bit with a cage rage vet (heavyweight) the bjj coach and a big doorman who teaches standing grappling stuff. funny re a thread on the main page, on the ground almost none of his stuff worked...

anyway back to training tomorrow, considering doing weights instead of MMA...
